SKATING CARNIVAL
ON LAKE COMO

Lake Como, familiarly called
Smyrna mill pond, has been the
scene of an enjoyable skating
carnival this week. The ice, over
-four inches thick, smooth and
brittle, mas been very tempting to
devotees of skating, and us con-
sequence most everyone, who could
make any pretentions at this art at
all, were found down to the beau
&iful little lake in the afternoons.
Society turned out in force and the
ladies formed an important acqui-
sition to the numerous skating
parties. 1t has been a round of
pleasure for the school children.
No better skating has been indulg-
ed in about this vicinity for two
years past.
While all this pleasure is going
on our ice men are not forgetting
to lay in their summer supply, and
all day long wagons have been roll
ing up and down our thoroughfares
making plenty of dust and noise.
But it is likely the opportunity of
winter and most everybody who
owns an ice house is taking ad-
vantage of it.
Those who have their ice houses
filed are: W.H.Carr, Geo. M. Stew
enson, Jacob Leinberger, Willard
G. Pierce, CHI. Register, W.A.Far-
les, Mrs. Maria Smith, The Smyrna
House, The Delaware House, Mrs
Eva K. Boehmler, Robert Denney
W.D. Hudson, LIN Price, and 9TH
ers. A number of these houses
have been filled by A. Lee Cum
minis, who owned the ice privilege
at the lower end of the lake. 9th
ers have filed their supply from
