Yesterdays S. A. & o., train, due here
at $40, was DELAYED on account of large
stone falling from the done of natural
tunnel across the track. The stone WAS
about fifteen feet long by ten wide, and it
was no small job clearing and repairing
the track SO that No. > could come
through. Mr.. II. L. Monicro and wife,
who were married on the Goth OF last
month at Tampa, Fla, were aboard, and
as the train did not reach here till 3
o'clock this mopnng, were forced to spend
the balance of the night in the waiting
rooms of the S. A. & o., depot Their
friends in the city had arranged TO give
them big reception at the residence OF
Mrs. Duff but on account of the delayed
train all were sadly disappointed,

had the pleasure of attending, for while
the house was too small to accommodate,
comfortably, the large crowd, the order

admit and everybody seemed to enjoy
themselves thoroughly.
ii is remarkable to see how much has
been accomplished in that neishhorhood
in so short aimc hy organized, well dircc-
ted efforts. The superintendent and his
assistants deserve great praise for what
they have done.
A lengthy programme was gone through,
with much credit to scholars and teachers,
consisting of "cctations, solos,. quartctts
and choruscs When these were finished
there came a knock at the door, and in
walked Santa Claus-wintcr garb,s grey
beard and ALL He told the children the
Importance of obedience TO God and to
their parents and teachers, in a fathcrly
way. and then came the great time-thc
giving of the presents. The beautiful
tree was soon disnantlcd Of its burden,
and everybody got something nice; ana
everybody scored to enjoy the occasion
and hoped for many happy returns.
