Marietta Journal July 9, 1908
From the Marietta Journal dated Thursday, July 9 1908:

SMYRNA

Mr E O MILES and merry party, who have been camping off at Reliance, Tenn., for
the past three weeks, returned home in time to spend the glorious Fourth in Smyrna.

Mr Charles LOVE, who has been engaged for the past several months in business on
the "canal zone," Panama, is home again.  "Blew" in Saturday evening.  The
Isthumus seems to agree with him.  He is looking well.

The Caldwell-Lumpkin Fourth of July Club - composed of the following families:
Mr and Mrs J W CALDWELL, Mr and Mrs J F LUMPKIN and family, Mr and Mrs J N CAMP
and family, Mr and Mrs A W SUTTLES and Mr W S THOMPSON - enjoyed their annual
fourth of July outing and fishing at Barber's bridge last Saturday.  This club
was organized four years ago, and since that time has regularly held its annual
picnic on the 4th.  The officers elected for this year are A W SUTTLES,
president; Mr J N CAMP, secretary and treasurrer.  Our invited guests this year
were Mrs Dr W T PACE and daughters, Helen and Laura, Mr Harold HAWKINS and
Master J B FULLER.  In all, about twenty composed the merry party. 
Notwitstanding the threatening weather, the day was most pleasantly spent.

Smyrna and Marietta expected to play ball here last Saturday, but the rain of
that afternoon broke up the game, and drenched the large gathering to witness
the same.  The game would have been hotly contested had not the rain interfered.

Mr Willis T LONG and son, Nathaniel, of Pendergrass spent Sunday and Monday with
friends and relatives in Smyrna.

The actual construction of Hamby's brick store and warehouse began last
Thursday.  It will be the largest brick building in town when completed.

Rev Mr CRAWLEY occupied the pulpit of the Methodist church last Sunday, it being
the first Sunday in the month, and his regular appointment here.

Smyrna School Board had a meeting last Monday night, and elected Prof D A SEWELL
as principal of Smyrna High School for next school year, also added another
grade to the school - the Second Grade High School.  The assistant teachers have
not yet been selected.
