Smyrna times., 1935-11-28
quartette from a distance to supply
the vocal part of the programme.


a resident of Duck Creek, engaged
in the trade of blacksmithing, for
thirty years, moved with his family
last week to Dover, where he pro-
poses engaging in the biscuit man
ufactory similar to the enterprise
started by N. c. Moore in this town
last summer. Mr.. Meredith will be
missed from Morning Star Lodge
where he had the reputation of the
most regular in his attendance of
any member of the order. His at
tendance on the services of the M.
E. Church was also very punctual.
SHALL SMYRNA HAVE
ELECTRIC LIGHTS
William S. Heger, a representa-
tive of the Edison Electric Light
Company, of Wilmington, was in
town on Saturday, in the interest
of his company and in visit to
the Times office set forth the plans
on which they operate. His object
in visiting Smyrna, as ne is doing
the other towns on the Peninsula,
| is to present to the citizens the
benefit of lighting their streets and
places of business as well, with
electricity. The cost of burner
of ten candle power is about one
Icent an hour. There are some
strong advocates of electricity in
our town, as was evinced several
weeks ago in an effort to have it
combined with the waterworks as
part of the town enterprise. The
thoroughly awakened enterprise
manifested in our community
should prompt our capitalists, who
are always looking out for a good
investment to look into this mat
ter with a view to getting on the
ground floor. There is a growing
sentiment everywhere that electric
ity is soon to supersede gas. .Elec-
tricity is to furnish the light of the
future.
MISS MATTE FOARD WEDS
WILLIAM ROTHWELL
The Newark Ledger gives an ac-
count of wedding in Cecil Coun-
ty, the groom of which until the
past few years was a resident of
this vicinity: "a neat and pretty
wedding occurred on Thursday last
at Hillside farm, a half a mile be-
yond Cowantown, the residence of
James L. Foard, the daughter of
whom, Matte ]. Foard, was united
in the bonds of holy wedlock to
Mr.. Will Rothwell, of Middletown.
Through the illness of the brides
mother it was made a home we'd
ding and only relatives were invit-
ed, but a goodly attendance of the
last named were promptly assem-
bled in the tastily and richly decor
ated parlor of the hillside resi-
dence. Flowers, ferns and holly,
tastily arranged produced an ex-
cellent effect. At two o'cock the
bride and groom entered the parlor,
preceded by the two ushers,
Messrs. William DuHamen, of Del
aware College, and Walter Dilks,
of Philadelphia, and took their po-
sitions under a large flora umbrel-
Ia, where the preacher Rev. j. L.
Vallandigham, D. D., of Newark,
pronounced them man and wife.
After congratulations, etc, the COM
pany proceeded to a sumptuous re-
past, to which all did justice.
Shortly after the bride and groom
departed for their new home with
an overdose of slippers and old
shoes. An extensive tour was ar
ranged, but had to be deferred on
account of the severe illness of Mr..
Rothwell's father, who has been
almost at the point of death. A
reception is to take place at the
new home of the couple on the ev-
ening of Thanksgiving Day.
