employ since, has cndnged MS Dusl-
ness and taken a position with L.
o. Waller, matchmaker and jewel
er. He was with Mr.. Waller the
most of the winter and much of the
time since, and has ready hand
for the business.
July and August usually consti-
tute the dull seasons with the
newspaper. The Times however,
has been full up in its advertising
columns with live advertisements,
in many cases containing desirable
information though in the form of
an advertisement. 1t is gratifying
that the Times is thus more than
ever appreciated as business med
ium.
The statement about the gift of
S100 to the Smyrna Library by
Daniel B. Cummins did not convey
the exact information in regard to
the Encyclopedia Brittanica. His
S100 went to the purchase of other
books the 25 books of the Ency-
clopedia having been purchased by
our citizens at cost of $3.50.
These additions to our library
ought to be highly appreciated by
our citizens.
The Epworth League Convention
to be held at Clayton on Septem-
ber 1st and End, promises to be an
interesting affair. A program for
three exercises each day has been
made out. Among the preachers
who are announced to take a lead
ing part are: S. M. Morgan, R. w.
Todd, w. w. Sharp, v. S. Collins,
Alfred Smith, A. D. Courtney, AL
bert Chandler, Irving Watkins,
and H. S. Thompson.
Thousands of bushels of good ap-
pies will go to waste this year. The
manufacture of cider and vinegar
from these apples would pay WELL
and the cost of a plant would be
slight. If the cider could not be
disposed of at once, it could be
utilized the next year in the form
of vinegar in the manufacture of
pickles, the fruit and vegetables of
which could be grown in the i'm
mediate neighborhood.
The outbuildings, including the
barn, carriage houses, and stables
on the farm of A. Ennis of Thor
oughfare Neck, were burned to the
ground about 3 o'clock Sunday
morning. In addition to the build
ings three hundred bushels of
wheat, all the farming implements,
including thresher, stacker, &c.,
harness and other articles were de-
stroyed. The entire loss will prob
ably aggregate $4,000 on which
there is an insurance of $500 on
the buildings and $500 on contents.
The fire is generally supposed to
have been the work of an incen-
diary. The place was in the ten
ure of his son George.
One day last week, man near
Cheswold, went over to his neigh
boris opposite, to make a barrel of
cider, but not having quite enough
apples to fill it as full as he would
have liked it, he went over to his
home for more. While he was gone
the neighbor's hogs took advantage
of the opportunity to sample his
cider which they did by rolling the
barrel over until the contents gurg-
led out at the bung, and when he
returned his barrel was empty and
muddy and the grunters apparent
ly contenteda nd happy, but Sam
was not. However, he viewed his
loss, clamly by removing his hat
and scratching his head only, and
further taking it as lesson never
again to leave barrel of cider in
care of the hogs.
A very pleasant party and dance
was given at Woodland Beach last
Monday night. The evening was
clear and beautiful, and those who
could not participate in the dancing
enjoyed a stroll under the beaming
rays of the moon, or by boating
skipping the silvery waves of the
bay. At Z o'clock an excellent
supper was served by the propri-
etor, Mr.. Campbell. Those present
were: Miss Blanche Silkman, ,Scran-
ton, Pa; Miss Nan Spruance, Phil
