Acting mayor Bigelow held court Mon

ances glared at him. One was Amelia
Johnson, charged with assault and re-
sisting an officer. Amelia will have to

$40 towards paying the saw dust man.
The family of DIR. NJ N. voorhis left
Friday for Lebanon, Ohio, where they
will join the Doctor who went to that
place to be treated for throat trouble.
We understand that the trouble is more
serious than was at first supposed, and
that there is but little hope of his recov-
cry. This will be sad news 10 his many
friends in DeLand. DR.. Vool his was
one of the real old time settlers of this
place.
We sincerely hope that the school
board which is in session this week will
take some definite and energetic action
in reference to school house for De-
Land. This is matter that will brook
no delay the school season will soon be
upon us, and if we have no building in
which the school can lie held will be
an everlasting disgrace and reproach to
the town which has always prlded her
self upon and advertised broadcast to
the world her unexcelled educational
facilities.
Tonight (Tuesday) our democratic
friends will have a grand gathering at
the Putnam House in honor of Mr.. w.
H. Bristol, their nominee for State Sena-
tor, in pa1 ticular, and the balance of the
candidates in general. Many prominent
democrats of the county will be present
and all the democrats of the town are
cordially invited to attend. There will
be speech making, refreshments. adance
and a general good time. The arrange
ments are in charge of Me5srs. Wetherell,
Fits, Kurtz and the balance of the pre-
cinct committee, which is a guarantee
! of it's success.
Last Tuesday evening Mr.. Neil Alex
ander invited few of his friends to a
moonlight ride on Lake Beresford. The
weather looked little unfavora1le at
first, but like every one who sees a good
time ahead, started with the intention
of taking the passing shower good ma
turedly-and must say they were we'll
paid. Messrs. Braning and Atkinson
favored the crowd with some excellent
music on the guitar and violin, and the
soft, sweet music mingiing with the rip
ping of the water and the beautiful
moonlight gave the whole science some
what of romantic appearance.
Mr.. Cennie Wright entertained
couple of scores of his friends Friday
night with a hemming party. Each
young man brought with him enough
goods for the manufacture of neck tie.
The ties were distributed to the Young
ladies by lot, and they were required to
hem them within certain time. When
time was called the work was submitted
to Judges who awarded prizes as fol-
lows: To Miss Fannie Eldridge, first
prize; to Miss Josephine LiDdley, second
prize, and honary mention to Miss Mary
Tanner Miss Blanche Morris captured
the BOBBY prize. After the prizes were
awarded cake and cream were served
and the young folks danced until they
were tired.
