AS a result of the big storm, life
in Smyrna last week was so monot-
onous that the ladies had difficulty in
keeping track of the days, and Miss
Fannie Earle lost her reckoning COM
pletely and was a day ahead on the
program. Saturday was the day she
refrained from everyday labor and
Sunday was the day to resume and
enter again the WORN day world. Mrs.
Elizabeth Davis tried to convince her
but only partially succeeded and the
difference was finally left to the
Smyrna scribe who all unconsciously
was calmly and Slowly Stepping along
toward the little village and view
ing the wonderful works of nature on
the way. "If our reporter comes to-
day I'll know it is Sunday" said Miss
Earle, and that is the sole and only
reason the scribe received such a
happy greeting and hearty welcome
to her loved village and former home
Yes, they all said, "now we know it
is Sunday.
