The evening papers OF last Friday
had it that Prof. J. L. Torrens of our
public schools came very nearly being
arrested for refusing to pay his poll
tax on Wednesday or Thursday of
last week. It appears that Prof. Tor
rens did refuse to pay the tax when
first demanded by Street Commits
sioner Woffensmith but afterwards he
handed over the 81.
A letter from Mrs. II. A. Lusk has
it that she is making arrangements to
return to Redwood in about two
months. Her son will accompany
her. Mrs. Lusk leaves Florida with
great deal of reluctance as she loves
the climate very much. She says
that the frosts which the newspapers
made such ado over did not affect
West Florida very much.

to open "The Fair Store" second door

was joined by Mrs. Webster yesterday.
After the address by Rev. FIR.

song that pleased the audience won
derfully. The work of Messrs. Cum
