COMMERCE STR EET EX-
TENDED extension and op-
ening for travel of Commerce
Street to the road bounding the
farm of John Anthony is now COM
pleted. 1t should be called Com
mercial Avenue. The work of TAX
ing up the peach and apple trees.
taking down fences, removing
stumps and hedges, was commenc-
ed on Friday morning last and the
whole road is now in condition for
travel. The full width of the av-
enue is sixty feet, but a walk on
each side of ten feet in width has
been retained, leaving a driveway
of forty feet thus making one of
the best and handsomest entrances
to the town on the west side. The
houses of John H. Bailey and Mrs
Gafford have not yet been removed
and now stand in the road, there
not having been sufficient money
appropriated by the Levy Court
for the purpose Of removal. When
these distractions are out of the
way and owners of lots plant shade
trees on both sides from one end
to the other along the sidewalks it
will soon become one of the most
attractive and frequented resorts
for driving and walking for the
young bloods and beaux of the
town. For building sites there are
many lots on either side of the av-
enue that have now become very
desirable and the owners may re-
gard them with increased value for
they can be made to rent on either
or both of two sixty feet wide av-
Ir,pr Mt
seems to have been so much need
ed and desired by the citizens Of
Smyrna as the extension of this
street and for persons coming to
town living in Kenton Hundred it
will be of great convenience as
they can avoid entirely the railroad
tract and the liability of their
horses taking fright at the engines
