Smyrna times., 1924-05-28

Smyrna Town Council should
make every effort, while con-
tractor F.W. Lovett is here with
his equipment,t to open all streets
thru to the DUPONT Boulevard
and build the diagonal street
from North Main Street to the
Boulevard. Since the Boulevard
does not go thru Main Street,
Smyrna, like it goes thru Dover,
the only thing for Smyrna to do
is to make the best of our op-
portunities and throw open all
Streets to the travelling public.
North Street, Mt.Vernon Street,
and South Street should all be
extended and with these build a
diagonal street at the north of
Smyrna into Main Street, where
motorists can have easy access
into Smyrna from both north as
well as the south approaches.
Along with this improvement
swing all street lights into the
center of streets and have them
of sufficient candle power to
light Smyrna. Let us especially
illuminate all Boulevard ap.
proaches. Then placard all the
said approaches with suitable
signs pointing to Smyrna with
names of streets. 1t will cos
we know to do this, but will i
not be a good investment fol
Smyrna? Let the travelling pub
lie who use the dupont Boule
ward know Smyrna when the,
come to it. Invite them in witt
well lighted and easy apprOache
and show them at all street in
tersections to the Boulevar
they are given a welcome an
that Smyrna is on the map.
There is no telling where a wild
awake move of this kind Wi
lead. Boost Smyrna! This
one way of doing it.

A Virgiinian who had been
nominated delegate to the
Secession Convention in Rich
mond in 1860, in an address be-
fore his constituents in his home |
county, declared that he opposed
secession and that if fate de-
manded that he should die upon
a battlefield, he hoped his body
would be wrapped in the Star
Spangled Banner. However, he
said, if his State went into war,
he expected to be not far behind
in the ranks of those who would
defend her borders. His defeat
at the election followed this
statement. Later he fell in bat
tie while leading a small detach-
ment of gray-clad troops against
a superior force of the enemy
and his body was never recover
ed. That man bespoke the spirit
of thousands of Southerners in
the stirring days when Civil
War was brewing.
When President Coolidge, al
the Confederate Memorial Day
exercises at Arlington, Sunday
declared that, ga mightier force
than ever followed Grant or Le'
has leveled both their hosts

today.
Kearus returned last night from
the South. where he had been with
Dempsey on an exhibition tour the
champion II making.
"Ail I know Is that Dempsey In

He had heard that Tex Richard
wanted 10 put on return bout be
tween Dempsey and Tom Gibbons
and that he had been informed that
Gibbons had accepted Richards
terms.
Richard has said nothing TO us
about the other end Of the fight.
Kearns said. However. he may
know that we viii sign II the terms

right"
Kearns seems 10 be little cool
about the Gibbons fight. not that he
doubts Dempsey's chances 70 last
