In mentioning the trade display, last
week, we inadvertently omitted the
name Of Miss Della Moore, who repre-
sented her elegant millinery establish
ment. Miss Moore wore one of the
most superb and expensive outfits IN
the parade and 10 wonder that her
many friends noticed that her name
was not in the list.

Lake City Bee: Mrs. r. l.. Carter
had another fainting spell, which she
has been subjected to quite frequently
here Of late. last Saturday night. These
spells last only for few moments and
then she is as well as ever, apparently.
These attacks compel Mr.. Carter to
stay close at home for fear of his wife
being striker down while he is absent.
The doctors say it is heart disease"
Cyrus Osborn, who lives near the old
Lodi postoflice, was here last week
looking for his son, young man TWEEN
ty-three years old, who had disappeared
with team of mules and a spring wag-
on belonging to his father. Mr.. Osborn
published cards offering a reward for
the return of the team; but he does not
care to prosecute his son. 1t appears
that the young man thought that his
father should give him his share of the
paternal estate, and failing to get it, he
concluded to help himself and took the
team.

celsior that empty paper shells were

copper and several painful cuts were
made in his legs. DIR. Karr picked them
out. Mr.. Noble thinks that fulminat-
ing cap had been left in the packing at
the factory. The report was louder
than the report of an anvil charged
with powder, and for awhile considera-
BILE excitement was created.
