GRIP
OF A BLIZZARD
Snow With High Gales I'M
pedeS Traffic and Blank
cts Whole State
TEMPERATURES is Low

Smyrna and vicinity felt, as all
other parts of the State, the Mon
day night blizzard and drop in
temperature Tuesday morning as
the whole State was blanketed with
snow and the wind whirled all
night in one of the worst storms of
the winter. The snow reached a
depth of five or six inches and out
in the open stretches piled in drifts
several feet. The State Highway
Department, ever efficient to the
occasion, kept the snow plows go
ing all night. The State Highway
and all main traffic roads were
kept open. Trains ran on be1ated
time and mails, even tho late, were
not enough to cause any inconven-
fence. The snow and cold follow
ing the rain of Monday afternoon,
caused the snow to stick TO trees
and shrubbery and was declared to
be one of the most beautiful snow
storms of record The tempera-
ture fell steadily all night and this
morning the thermometer showed
a temperature of from eight to ten
degrees above zero. Milk service
was delayed and some farmers
were SO showed in they could not
get to town Only one school bus
made the route yesterday and the
Smyrna Special District Schools
were so sparsely attended only one
session was held. The pupils were
dismissed for the afternoon. The
high wind and heavy snow caused
tree limbs to break and telephone
and electric light lines were out of
commission Current in Smyrna
was off about an hour during the
night. The storm which started
at noon Monday gained impetus
during the remainder of the day
and Monday night became a seri-
Gus menace to transportation and
after a strong
northwest wind started blowing
the snow before 1t. The entire
peninsula was covered with the

CROWD OF 1000
AT OLD ASBURY
Student Council of Nations
Give Inspiring Service in
Quickening a Revival
OVER 22O GO FORWARD

what was probably one of the
most interesting and inspiring ser
vices ever held in Asbury M. e.
Church in Smyrna was the meet
ing last Sunday evening conducted
by The Student League of Many
Nations, a group of IA young men
and women representing as many
different nationalities who came
here from the Practical Bible
Training School at Binghamton, N.
Y. They sang the songs and wore
the costumes of their native land,
spoke in their native tongue and
played musical instruments pecu-
liar to the countries from which
they came. More than one thous-
and people crowded nto the main
auditorium of the church. At the
Epworth League devotional hour
five of the young people took part
to the delight and edifcation of
the audience which filled to capac-
ity the assembly room of the
church. The auditorium, the bal
comics and the corridors were fill
ed with expectant people when the
pastor, Rev. DR.. John L. Johnson,
presented Mrs. M. c. Patterson,
who directed the service. After a
period of devotion, Mrs. Patterson
barcaIf RI ha q ,,,octor pf
audiences as she presented the
Christ as the worlds saviour and
Lord in most eloquent and beau
tiful way introducing the several
speakers; each and every message
gripped the listeners and held SPELL
bound both young and old. The
climax of this great service was
reached when in response to Mrs.
Patterson's eloquent and impress
sive appeal, two hundred and
young people be-
tween the years of eleven and
thirty came forward and dedicated
themselves to the Lord for Life
Service. The exercises were held
under the auspices of the Epworth
League of the church and before
the conclusion of the program 223
young people pledged themselves
to the services of the church. The
members of the Student League
came to Smyrna Sunday in their
own bus and were guests of the
Epworth League at supper. The
visitors were entertained in the
homes of the churh members. They
left here for Washington, D. c.
They have appeared in every State

NO CONTEST TO
TOWN ELECTION
Administration Ticket Named
By Council Stands With
out Opposition
SAME MEMBERS COUNCIL

Smyrna Town Council met in
Special Session Friday night to re-
ceive nominations for the Town
Ticket to be placed for the annual
Town Election Monday and for the
first time in recent years there was
not an opposing ticket filed against
the administration ticket. AS a
nomination in this case is equiva1-
ent to an election, it means that
John c. Mannering and Davis H.
Bell, whose terms as Councilmen,
expire this year, will go back for
another term of two years. Henry
D. Boyer, who was nominated for
Collector of Taxes and Revenues,
will also be reelected for another
term of one year as will Walter
w. Hynson, town treasurer. The
only change in the ticket will be
that of Town Assessor. Last year
the Town Charter required that
there pe three Town Assessors,
and w. ]. Holland, r. H. Denney
and w. E. Matthews were elected
This year only one assessor is re-
quired and members of Council
ordered the name of Thomas JEFF
ferson put on the ticket. The an
nual election will take place Mon
day afternoon next, February Goth,
between the hours of 2 and 5
o'clock. With no opposing ticket
in the field there will be no con-
test. However, those nominated
will appreciate a vote of confidence
and it behooves all who can to
turn out and vote.
