SMYRNA AND VICINITY

The rain and warm weather has
been just what the Strawberries
wanted. Very early ones will be
beginning to ripen in from two to
three weeks.
j. w. Webb and E. Lower expect
to replant their corn this week.
The Sunday-school at Walkers
was reorganized on Sunday week,
with Daniel Davis as superintend-
ent, Geo. w. Mattiford, assistant,
and John E. Latta organist.
The popular fad in Smyrna at
present is to deck your residence
with new coat of paint. This
has been going on quite extensively
throughout the town, and very
needed improvement it makes, too.
About thirty of our young ladies
are beginning to meet together for
the purpose of putting in few
weeks practice for the "Cantata of
the Roses" Each girl will repre-
sent a bower and will cherish its
clor and perfume. A number of
solos will be given. 1t will indeed
be a garden of flowers and when
sufficient practice will justify them
in giving the entertainment, they
will expect a large house. The pro-
ceeds will be for the benefit of the
Sunday School seats.
The amount of money on deposit
in our banks is $233, ,30364.

at the same place.
Messrs. Lewis & Wheatman have
erected a windmill for S. G. Wilds
on his farm near Brenford, and
yesterday erected wire fence on
the farm of DR.. Mitchell on the
Light House road.
Among a variety of choice toilet
soaps, Jas. P. Hoffecker has at his
drug store kind stamped in the
soap, ''The Belle of Smyrna" The
name, if nothing else, ought to give
it a send-off with the ladies.
Geo. w. Taylor finds himself
busy at his new machine shop near
the depot. A chief item just at
this time is putting in gas stoves,
to take the place of wood and coal
fires in cooking-the fire and heat
ceasing the moment the cooking is
done. He is doing the piping for
several of them this week.
The officers of the Presbyterian
Christian Endeavor Society were
appointed as follows: president,
Mrs. S. B. Reynolds; vice-president,

tary, William G. Anthony; CORES

limestone, and also install 1872
miles of curbing and cutters was
announced this week by William
c. Harper, village president, af-
ter the Village Commission APP
proved proposals submitted by
him at the regular meeting.
Harper's plan requires all con-
tractors who have eXcavated

age projects to repair the street
and reSurface il with limestone,
rather than ordinary gravel.
Experiments recently conduct
ed by the Roseville engineering
office show that the limestone
quickly forms hard surface
which drains and wears we'll;
is maintainable at low cost and
produces considerably less dust
during dry spells.
The engineering department
will limestone streets not under

In addition, Harper received
the commission backing on a
proposal TO submit plans for ap-
proval to the State Planning
Commission for large postwar
project, the construction of
curbs and cutters on every

bitches. This will be submitted
before the Nov. l deadline on
postwar projects.
Complete cost estimates on
