SMYRNA

Mrs Will CARTER of Atlanta was the guest of Mrs J W MAGILL last week.

Mrs Will LEGG and daughter, Wilmer, of New Orleans, La., are visiting friends
and relatives here.

Last Monday quite a number of interested parties met at the "Old County Church
Yard" and cleaned it off.  After a strenous day's work the cemetery was very
much improved in appearance.  The keeping of this Silent City of our dead should
be attended to every year.

Last Wednesday the immortal soul of Mrs W N PACE winged its flight to the "Glory
Lands Above."  Mrs PACE had been practically an invalid for many years, bearing
up under the affliction which was upon her with heroic christian fortitude.  She
was an ardent member of the Methodist church and as long as able to do so
attended the same regularly.  She is survived by her husband and one daughter,
Mrs J R DEAVORS, two sisters and a host of friends.  Funeral services were
conducted from the Methodist church, Rev Mr BARRETT, pastor, officiating.  Her
remaines were interred in Smyrna New cemetery, a large concourse of friends
witnessing the last sad rites.  The entire community extends sympathy to those
in bereavement.

The first concrete sidewalk in town has just been laid down in front of Dr W T
PACE's Drug Store.

Miss Ola McGRIFF of Atlanta spent the week-end with friends in Smyrna.

Smyrna base ball team began the season by slugging the team from the Gulf
Refinery Co to the tune of 10 to 2, last Saturday.  Smyrna team is crowing and
say they intend to keep it up, but "Its a long lane that has no turning."  Lets
wait and see.

Miss Mary KELPIN and Miss Ruby HAMBY left last Thursday night for Dallas, Tex.
