Smyrna times., 1940-09-12

will permit.
Rev. c. c. Adams, pastor of the
Presbyterian Church of this town
was married yesterday, the bride
being Miss Ida McKenney, daugh-
ter of Rev. DIR. McKenney, editor
of the Presbyterian, residing in
Germantown, Pa. They came to
Smyrna to-day and will board for
a week or two, while preparing
for housekeeping the late home of
Supt. Handy.
Horace Tilghman, one of our
young mechanics, went down to
Salisbury Monday to secure the
bride of his choice, Miss Adelia E.
Morris. They were married yestar-
day morning in Baptist church
near Salisbury, and came on TO
this town IN the evening. Mr.. Til
gilman has rented a house on Del
aware Street, and they will go to
housekeeping in a few days. He
had racket of a serenade, and he
in turn set the boys up"
Joseph Stephenson who is paint
ing Friendship Church, Thorough
fare Neck, has the work we'll on
the way to completion. The reopen
| ing will take place on Sunday
21st inst. The outside is painted in
light stone color, gray trimmings,
terra Gotta sash. Inside, light stone
ceiling trimmed with blue and pink
sides terra Gotta. The woodwork
will have a walnut finish. The
church will have neat and at
tractive appearance, that cannot
but be appreciated by the congre-
cation.
DR.. Dwight, assisted by DR..
Joseph Vangasken performed the
very delicate operation of trache-
otomy on Lola Silcox Hayden, a
four year old little girl of Abram
Hayden, residing in Thoroughfare
Neck, on Thursday. The child was
suffering from a severe attack of
diphtheria and was in danger of
suffocating. The insertion of the
tube gave it relief and it lived near
ly three days after, finally dying
from heartfailure from the vast
ing of the disease. 1t was inferred
at Friendship Cemetery on Mon
day afternoon.
The interest lately held by j. E.
Tygert and Co. in the Philadelphia
and Smyrna Transportation Co.,
having been purchased by parties
in this town., the company will re-
organize. 1t is the intention to To-
calize the holding of stock, and
make it more of a home company.
To this end then will be a Direc-
tors meeting late this afternoon,
at which time the resignation of
John E. Tygert as president and
director, and Mr.. H. S. Tygert as
director, will be acted upon. 1t is
probable a new president and two
directors, (prominent citizens of
our town will be elected.
Under the effect of the hot suns
and the absence of rains the past
week, the tomatoes ripened up
faster than was desired for the
Gamers, causing a rush, both by
the growers and the packers.
John H. Hoffecker could keep up
with his not having so many acres
but Messrs. McGaw and Bro. with
their 700 acres had the fruit piled
in on them the last few days of the
week by the thousands of baskets.
To make matters worse by a mis-
hap in their machinery they lost
the better part of a day in their
work. They are running night
force this week. They have never
before had the quantity desired.
Rev. w. w. w. Wilson in ILL
ustrating certain topic of his
discourse on Sunday, noted the de-
moralizing effects of intoxicating
drinks in producing profanity and
vulgarity, as manifested in a
crowd Of disorderly persons that
passed under his window the night
before, among which he said were
boys not half grown. The law
comes to the aid of parents and
the community in protecting boys
from too early contamination by
wicked men, and in this line makes
it misdemeanor to sell to minors.
The question is, who is SO fiend-
like as to thus corrupt and deprave
boys before they are old enough
to think Of the consequences, and
turn them out before they are men
moral wrecks on society? Certain
ly there is on bar tender in Smyr-
ma who would so far forget his re-
sponsibility to himself, the COM
munity in which he lives and the
legal compact entered into in Sc
curing a license, as to sell liquor
to youths over the public bar.
