Smyrna times., 1930-10-15

Colonel Martin addressed the mass
meeting yesterday afternoon.
There was a torchlight procession
in the evening, which paraded all
over the town, and afterwards a

On Wednesday evening a meet
ing of the members of the bar was
held in the Prothonotary's office at
Dover for the purpose of going
ever the trial list preparatory to
the approaching term of our Su-
perior Court. 1t seems to be the
opinion of the lawyers that no
civil cases will be tried at the
rext term of the court for the rea-
son that there is an unusually
large number of important Grim
inal cases, which will probably oc-
cupy the court during the whole
Of the first week, and as the cleo
tion will come off in the week fol-
lowing no time will be left for the
trial of civil cases.
The termination of the pave
ment at the Depot or rather its
non-termination needs the care
full attention of our Commission
ers. 1t is always a bad place in
rainy weather and especially bad
in winter, and it is wonder how
it has been allowed to go so long
in the way it is. This short place
is just enough to wet the feet of
every one who goes to or from the
depot of a rainy night. Let it be
speedily abated.
