SMYRNA AND VICINITY


The Independent Cornet Band,
this town, will attend grand par
ade at Millington tomorrow.
Our local orchestra-Stevenson,
Primrose and Norris-went over to
McColley's woods, near Massey's
on Wednesday evening to make
music for the annual picnic of the
Catholic Society there.
John H. Farrell, who opened a
grocery store here year and a
half ago, made an assignment last
week to John VanGasken. 1t is
the purpose of the latter to close
his business this week.
The weather is entirely to serene
for any one. What is needed is
rain. The corn, our chief farm
product, is passing through a cris-
is, and if not relieved by rain in a
few days must prove failure.
To-day must be big Wednes-
day" at Woodland Beach, judging
from the immense number of
teams that have passed through
town. AS early as o'clock twen-
ty-three teams in one gang went
through, and for two or three
hours Commerce Street had very
much the appearance of process
sion. 1t looked as if all the people
to the west of Smyrna, including a
number of miles over in Maryland,
/ had gone to the bayside.
The bicycle craze in this vicinity
seems to increase rather than di-
minish. There evidently can be
discovered no exercise more exhil-
Grating than bicycling if we are to

lean woman. Some, especially ir
fashion magazines, make the fig.
