June 26, 1886 Dr. A.C. SMITH and John GLASSBURN went out for a little targe shooting the other day. John says the doctor is a good shot, and that he, himself, had seen the day that he was, and even now he is quite a hand at shooting. A rifle finds his shoulder just as natural and the ball strikes the mark as accurately now as ever, and the story goes that he beat the doctor though he is too bashful to say so himself.
July 3, 1886 Miss Mary SMITH, of St. Jospeh, Missouri, is at present visiting her brother Dr. A.C. SMITH and family.
August 8, 1891 Dr. A.C. SMITH returned from Dakota Wednesday morning. He reported his daughter, Mrs. Ella REMINGTON some what better. He states that he saw a number of Tampico's old citizens there and they all sent their kind regards to friends here. Among others he saw Mr. James H. VARIAN, who is nicely situated and as jovial and lively as ever, James told him that he was now attending camp-meeting most of his time, and he was to the Dakota camp-meeting what SANKEY was to MOODY, an indispensable adjutor [sic].
