Orlando Record On the way to the pic
mic yesterday two young gentlemen were
| vyinR each other for the smiles Of a fair
damsel. Mr.. F. had secured the inside track,
and the other, Mr.. W, concluded to work
| the racket that, from way back in the
hoary past. has paralyzed so many of the
dear ones of the softer sex, viz: The ice
cream and pink lemonade racket. 80 he
| abandoned the field temporarily to bis rival
| but soon reappeared with a waiter uplitted
| on open palm on which were two dishes OF
tempting Ice cream and the same sweet
number of glasses of pink lemonade. As
he passed along the aisle he said to friend,
NOW Bob, watch me-" But justIthen, the
| train made lurch as it rounded a curve
| and the wouldbe paralyzer was thrown
forward and dumped the whole contents Of
| the waiter, ice cream, lemonade and all,
! upon the fair maid and his rival and the
| "paralyzing" was accomplished, but not In
the same manner, nor as gracefully as he
had intended. And Bob shouted out, "Yes,
Sam, I am watching youl"

| suggested, and it is stated that If that is de-
cided upon the campaign club will receive
assistance from Savannah IN the shape of
! speakers, who will come up and spend the
| day. One well-known gentleman in Pooler,
| who always heads the list, has promised
that he will furnish beef enough to feed all
| who will visit US. The celebration, which
would be big thing for Pooler, could he
made grand success IL all will take hold
| and do what they can in the way Of form
| Ing committees to attend to details, etc.
The day is one on which nearly every body
has holiday, and IL the different clubs, as
| sisted by the citizens at large, will take a
hand in the affair. it will certainly prove
success and rebound to the credit Of Pooler.
| 1t IS an undisputed fact that, for its size,
| Pooler is the most energetic town on the
Central railroad. and there is no doubt but
that barbecue could be successfully ham

Braidentown Journal: The Braiden-
town~Palmetto ferry has been a source Of
excitement during the past week. 1t had
been long rumored that II. G.. Warner in
tended to bring down one Of the nsphtha
launches which had been run in connection
with the Tampa Bay hotel during the past
wiuter and run 1t as ferryboat on this
line. On Wednesday morning the Nellie
arrived and was put to work at once, She
is a 30-foot launch, comfortably fitted up
and will accommodate with case twenty
persons. Several weeks before, Capt. Leue
with the sloop rig, had begun pre-
parations to change it to q lugger. When
the launch arrived the change had been
made, and he found no mean competitor.
On Saturday a fine breeze was blowing
from the northwest, and as the lacking ca
paoties of the lugger are noted the launch
had little advantage. Toward night an
agreement was made between the boats
whereby the Carmita has been taken off
and the Nellie has the route to herself. The
| effect of the short skirmish was to lower
the price of the trip to 10 cents, and we are
