Cows, barn and stalls, dear me
dear me
All whitewashed as clean as can be
First on one acre of ground each
man
Tries to raise all the wheat he car
Now the present farmer receives
pay
Allowing some land to idle lay.
These things seem to me powerful
queer
To grow and give away brings
cheer.
Folks danced in barns, held spell
ing bee
Wore simple gowns, hearts full OF
Swethearts then took long walks
together
Little cared they about the weather
They found delight seem Nellie
home
AS near or far away they'd roam.
Some gleanings I've brot from
yesterday
Days that were sad, days that were
gay
I'm thankful for all the good of the
past
Faith, hope and love always will
last.
The Grange Ideals, beautiful I find
If you follow them with heart and

The world around, vii say, and its

We're better, gladder because of

Tonight here we are, glad as can

Town Charter Amendments

Town Charter Amendments
In the Town Council news
on our first page a statement
is made of the four bills intro
duced by Representative Roe
for the four amendments to
the Town Charter. We gave
mention Of these last week
and were correct in all except
that we stated the collector of
taxes (his office being separ-
ated from that Of Alderman)
would be elected by the Coun-
Gil. This seems not to be true.
The collector of taxes will be
elected by the vote of the cit
liens of Smyrna as hereto
fore. 1t is the alderman who
is to be elected by Town Coun-
Gil. If the Legislature passes
the bill changing the office of
president of Council to Mayor,
he too will be elected by the
Council. There are some who
feel that so honorable a title
as Mayor should be the choice
of the electorate rather than
the choice of members Of
Council. On the other hand,
the Mayor is to preside over
the deliberations Of Council
and for this reason some feel
Council should have the say
who their presiding officer
shall be and this prompted the
proposed amendment that the
Mayor should be elected by
Council.

will automatically become the
first Mayor of Smyrna and
enjoy all the honors and priv
ileges that come with such a
title. In addition to his town
duties, Mr.. Stevenson is the
towns only Justice of the
Peace and Notary Public by
appointment of Governor
Buck. If in another year, af-
ter Frank C. Armstrong COM
pletes his term as Alderman,
Town Council, if it so desires,
can vote to have the Justice
of the Peace act as Town AL
derman. If so, Mr.. Stevenson
will occupy the unique posi-
ton of being Mayor of the
town and Town Alderman
along with his Justice duties.
But then Mr.. Stevenson has
been doing this right along
during the term OF Mr.. Boyer
for the latter cared little for
his Alderman duties and was
willing, it is said, for Mr..
Stevenson to try town cases
coming before him.

Compliment to Smyrna

AOAiiy tAAes - fSeAN SAANo
ment by the Journal-Every
Evening: Official figures just
made public for the fiscal year
ended January 81, 1885, show
that Smyrna, metropolis Of
northern Kent county cost its
people $58,712.64 to run and
that it closed the year with a
balance of S5,7O3.61. Not
bad, at all! Further than
that, it paid off $4,000 Of its
bonded Indebtedness in 1884
and reduced the total of that
Indebtedness to S147,OOO.
1T earned S11,145.99 on its
electric light and power busi-
ness; S7,491.62 on its water
business; $28O.5O on the oper-
alton of the old Town Hall !;
and it collected 1921 in fines
and penalties through its al
derman's Office.
'1n addition it closed the
year with assets in unpaid
electric light bills, water
rents, sewer rents, pavement
and curbing bills, town and
poll taxes and supplies on
hand aggregating S1,1O9.7O.
Those things and the cash
balance of S5,7O3.61 bring the
total assets up to S14,657.67.
ITO those living in large
communities the above may
seem like small figures, but
they represent big principles
in municipal management
balanced budget, a reduction
of bonded Indebtedness, MAX
ing service departments more
than pay their way and de-
claring an increased balance
at the end of the year. 1t is
a pity that many larger COM
munities in our state and
country cannot make as good
a comparative showing.
'It doubtless explains why
the people Of the upper Kent
metropolis reelect from year
to year, their Mayor, Magis-
trate G. Reynolds Stevenson;
their treasurer, Walter w.
Hynson; their secretary, S.
Creadick Ennis, and the other
members of their Town Coun-
Gil.
"In short the people of the
town run their business on a
nonpartisan and business bas-
is and do not have to worry
about extravagant expendi-
lures and an unbalanced bud
get. How much better many
other municipalities of all
sizes would be were they and
their fiscal affairs run on what
may be called the Smyrna
Plan. They have no use for

which was well received:
1 heard down town just the other
day
About this An-ni-ver- sary.
To celebrate that brave little band
Who had such faith and grit and
sand
AS to organize in Smyrna, Del.
A farmers Grange-they did well.
They hitched up their old buggy or
sleigh
To old gray mare or frisky bay
They Travelled to town thru mud or
snow
Driving slow the whole family so.
Then came an old Ford when rainy
or fair
Soon Wen travel chiefly by air.
They talked of crops, of hogs and
of corn
They told who had died and who'd
been born
Gave turkey dinners that can't be
beat
All the folks came and eat, eat eat.
Now we like movies, have a radio
When the stock gets fed, why I
dunno.
Once we carelessly washed each
hand
To wash off food, the dirt, or sand.
Whenever a milking we did go
Don't dare be careless, Now, oh no.
Build milking parlor, made just
so
Antiseptic, white as snow.
Once we washed every milking pan
With hot water, clelan as you can
Then Old Sol made them pure and
sweet
Now we must scrub ourselves, head
to feet.
