SMYRNA LEGIONNAIRE SECRET
Wasn't Intended to Be Told But Just
Somehow Leaked OUT


Say, Folks! if you are let in on a
very secret bit of news, you will, |
know, promise most faithfully, not to
breath a word to a soul. Well, really
| must tell some one and l do hope
4 you will not pass the secret on.
| First, | want to tell you that Spring;
4 Beautiful Spring, is here. The "Dandy
Lions" are bursting out in bloom, the
fruit trees are in blossom, the fish
dealers are at our street corners, fly
wire is selling and many other signs
are quite apparents, too numerous to
mention all at once. Some one once
said something concerning spring that
| sounded something like this: "In
Springtime young mems thoughts
quietly turn to love, full-moons and
burning up gasoline. Well, as you
perhaps know, we have most recently
had this proven to US without ques-
tion Of doubt. It would be beyond Us
to guess the motive but facts surely
do not mislead US.
Here the other night one Of our
leading young citizens left his motor
car standing on the street and made a
rush to leave our hospitable little
town. AS you know, we have always
treated our citizens with the greatest
Of respect and consideration. For the
moment it seemed strange that any
person should wish to leave in such
hurry, especially when apple blossom
day was SO near. Anyway, to make
long story a bit shorter, this ris-
ing young citizen made tracks out
Of our hospitable little town and did
not stop until he reached Ridgely, Nd.
Now don't ask where Ridgely, Nd is,
20 look on your Pennsylvania R. r.
time table.
When the true facts of our rising
young citizens hurried exit came out,
it seemed that at the last moment he
realized why he had been putting
forth SO much effort recently, in his
new home on Commerce street, and
hurried forth to his Lady In Wait
ing" to claim her as his bride. Just
like the Knights did in olden times,
only he did not ride on a mail clad
charge. Well, it just seemed that
fate surely intended that these two
young hearts should beat as one, and
now it has really happened. This
young man has claimed his own and is,
no doubt, 50 far above US folks, in the
clouds, that he is shaking hands with
the man in the moon. Say folks, if
you should see two new stars shining
brightly in the heavens above you,
you will know that our citizen, and his
bride, are up there, living off the
cream Of the milky way and pushing
in the dipper for more
Folks isn't love grand; more es-
pecially 50 in Spring Time when the
world is coming forth in its very best
to please those of US who appreciate
the beauties of nature Some folks
would hardly believe the great infu-
ence that spring has on Us all, but let
it be said right here and now, that
spring is certainly a time for weak
nerves and youthful ambitions as well
as the time of year when oil compan-
Smyrna times., 1928-05-09

les hold meetings in view of raising
the price of gasoline.
But here, am off of my subject.
Let's return to this secret subject at
once You know l was telling you
about our rising young citizen and his
Blushing Bride. Well, it seems that
after the knot had been tied good and
tight, over in Ridgely, Md, our citizen
must have forgotten to put the cat
outside for the night, for during the
wee small hours of the early morning
our citizen and his bride rode quietly
back to our hospitable little town and
camped here for the night without our
knowing he was sorry for leaving US
in such excited haste. He even slip
ped by our capable law officers with
out being seen which don't happen
very often.
A telegram received from our citi-
zen on his first day of married bliss,
said something about being sorry he
could not be present, but no one can
bring themselves to believe that this
could be true. By the way, this tele-
gram was sent from Washington,
D. G. OF course l know who Wash
ington was. He was the great, good
man, who never told a lie, and as |
said once before, this only bears me
out that this young citizen of ours
must be in Heaven. But, say, what
does that d. G. mean? Someone told
me it must be that they were with
Washington under Divine Circum-
stancesw Could this be possible?
Anyway, folks, | hope you will keep
this secret as l asked you, because if
this young citizen of ours returned
and discovered that his actions had
been known to you, he might just not
appreciate our interest in him. As
you all know, this would hardly be a
kindly attitude towards him because l
can 60 down on record and say that
this rising young citizen Of our is
so big of heart he would undertake"
to do the very last thing on earth for
you.
l just know that after having ex-
planned to you the power of spring on
youth, you will forgive our citizen for
his hurried rush, secret return, and
everything and join me in wishing this
pair of young folks the very best of
everything for always.
Adv.-In the future, persons who
have barrels for sale may find a most
profitable market and bring pleasure
and joy to an aching heart.
