ITEMS ABOUT SMYRNA FROM
SMYRNA TIMES, JULY :, 1880
Notes of Marriages, Deaths, Real
Estate Deals and Matters of In
terest of Half Century Ago

(The Smyrna Times has started
70 look back over its files and tell
what happened around the correspond
ing date of this issue. a half century
ago. We hope to make this a regular
weekly feature. If it does nothing else,
It will call to mind people and events
of that day that should be interesting
10 the present generation. We hope
our readers will find it interesting and
that it will make the Times more eag-
erly sought and read-Editor.)
The lecture of Frederick Doug
lass in the Town Hall last Wednes-
day night was well attended. His
subject self Made Men" was
surely handled in a mastery man
ner. The audience composed prin-
cipally of white persons, showed a
real interest irrespective of politi-
cal bias. The lecture began by
showing the great Importance of
study to the attainment of any
great end, hard, earnest, perser-
vering labor, without which moth
ing was accomplished. All he ask
ed for his race was a fair chance
and to be left alone-you might
pray but without action it was as
naught, he prayed for freedom,
for fear his old master would hear
him, but until he began to pray
with his legs he remained a slave.
He gave many illustrations of self
made men, paying glowing trib-
ute to Abraham Lincoln, and Hor-
ace Greeley, Elihu Burrit, the
learned Blacksmith, Deits the in
ventor of the rapid transit elevat-
ed railway was not like himself
a half negro (which wasn't entire
ly his own fault, but black as
sixteen midnights without

Our enumerators, w. o. Hof-
fecker and j. T. Jerman will be in
attendance at the Court House in
Dover, as required by law, on the
Sth or 9th insts., between the
hours of 9 a. m. and s P. m. for
the purpose of correcting their
lists and person or persons not
enumerated or improperly enumer-
ated should appear before them on
one of the above named days, in
order that their lists may be cor
rect.
Enumerator Hanson has COM
pieted the census of ApDoquini-
mink hundred and puts the popu-
lation at 2400. This is very
good showing for old Appoquini-
mink. Townsend has a population
of 815, an increase of more than
a hundred per cent. since 1870.
More than twenty new buildings
have been erected during the past
year. From present indications, it
looks as though Townsend intends
TO march on.
! On Sunday evening at ABOUT
o'clock as Mr.. Jesse Fennemore's

three were thrown out, one of the

unfortunate. I think, because 1t
doesn't alY'ayS ring true. Also,
it dates a woman.
It dates her because the girls
of today never gush. Not one
of them.
Perhaps you can't distinguish
a 20-year-old, nowadays, by her
figure. Her mother may be
very slender, too. Or by her
clothes. Even grandmothers
wear girlish outfits. But it's
that cool way she has of seem.
ing entirely. at home In the
universe, that stamps her.
In fact, the ingenue, so long

on the stage or off it, has COM
pletely disappeared. You can
no more find a girl who Is al
ways gasping her excitement,
and oVerstating her approval,
than you can spy the artlesS
bow of pale blue ribbon that she
used to be so fond of attaching
to her costume.
The girl of the moment Is
quiet, composed, unSmiling, per-

would suppose she never gave it
a thought.
Beautiful girls have some
times had the art of acting as

But for the young to act as

THE BEAUTY
BOX
BY Helen FOllett--

Matching the powder to the
complexion is easy enough:
picking out synthetic bushes is
a more difficult performance.
The cosmetic counter offers
everything from cerise to- pug-
ple-crimson. CoralS, scarlet,
raspberry, ruby, cherry, claret,
peach, salmon, orange-red and
then some. It is a wise girl who
can pick her roses. No specific
rules can be offered, because
skin tone, eyes, hair vary so
much in coloring and the rouge
medium must be harmonious to
all of them. Experiments and
the seeing eye will determine
the right choice.
Do not economize on mani
curing instruments. The nail
file should be flexible with q
fine grain that files quickly
I and evenly. Needle point SciS-
SorS must be sharpened at least
once q year If they are to do
their work properly. When
using the orange wood stick on
stained nail caves wrap 1t
with cotton and dip in perox-
tide.
