Interior Badly Damaged by Fire
Last Sunday Evening

The fine, substantial cottage of

on Maryland Avenue near the

choise locations of the resort, was
damaged by fire Sunday evening.
The loss is estimated at $4,000 to
$4,000 only partially insured. The
fire started mysteriously under the
stairway on the first floor and in
a short space of time had practic-
ally gutted the whole interior 50
much so it is probably that what
remains will have to be torn down
and rebuilt. The property for the
last several seasons had been rent
ed by Mrs. Pleasanton who called
it the Pleasant Inn," a popular
restaurant for many Rehoboth Wis
itors. She is also proprietor of

Price has made no definite plans

Sentiment throughout the COM

Company to continue to operate
bus between Smyrna and Clayton
to meet all trains and extend a pub
lie service that the company should
be glad to do. The bus as a
unit may not pay as of itself, but
it would seem that some plan
might be worked out for their bus
driver to carry mail and American
Express packages so as to make
it a worthwhile job. BY combin-
ing of the three services into one
might be a happy solution to the
problem. Naturally Smyrna wants
to be part of the railroad service
and be listed on the railroad map
and timetables. So great is the

made his announcement at a testi-
monial dinner in the Centreville
Armory, given by the Democratic

Senator Roe in the congressional
race assures a bitter contest for
the Democratic nomination next
May, political observers said. Rep
resentative Ward is expected to
announce his candidacy for reelec-
ton while it is possible others may
enter the race.
