Edward Joy, prominent and ricl
L old bachelor. He had no heirs il
U this country and taking a stron,
liking to William Morris and hi
family, he left this valuable farm
Il to the son of the latter, Edwart
Joy, who was named for him. Viii
liam Morris lived here during tn,
minority of his son, and the latte
: having received a liberal education
on coming of age sold all his prop
erty at public sale for the purpose
of travelling in the old countries
the farm above named being pur.
chased by Joseph Hoffecker, the
father of the present owner. This
was in 1886. Mr.. Morris travels

New Management THE former
management of the carriage shop
on Market Street has been dissolv-
ed and it starts out in the New
Year on a more enterprising car
eer as James G. Lasse1i & Com
pany. In the name of Mr.. LasselI
and his associates, Messrs. Curry
and Hamilton, the people recognize
legacies of Smyrna's past reputa-
ton in the carriage business,
themselves men of twenty-five or
more years of experience who,
while they, have the confidence,
know the wants of the people. T.
is with pleasure we call attention
to our two new firms in the car
riage business twenty-five years
ago we had three) as a sign of re-
turning prosperity where there had
been a decline. Our section should
give them all the encouragement
they can in patronizing them for
all new work and also all repairs |
that come in their line. These two
firms add not only to our produc-
tive wealth, in which every money
ed and commercial institution is
interested, but also to our popula-
tions.
