verdict Of not guilty.
Dutch" Womsley was arraigned in the
county court at Ocala Thursday for the
murder of DR.. Foshee in Sumter county.
Judge Robert occupied the bench. The

pleaued not guilty. Further proceedings
We're postponed to Tuesday next.
The National Odd Fellows Home and
Sanitarium, at Gainesville, will be opened
under favorable auspices Nov. 26. A large
number of applications have been made
for admission, and a considerable interest
IS being manifested by the fraternity gen.
orally in the welfare of the institution.
Many of the leading citizens of Lake
land have signed a protest directed to
the President against the appointment of
Mr.. Skipper of Barlow as postmaster at
Lakeland, on the ground or non-residence,
and also because the term of the present
incumbent, r. o. Cresop, has not yet ex-
pired.
c, w. Woodall, superintendent of the
Miami Transfer Company, was probably
fatally injured while blasting stumps on
the grounds of the company Thursday. A
falling rock or piece of the stump struck
him on the head just above the left ear,
lacerating his head in a most frightful
manner.
The season in which the catching of null
let with seines is prohibited, commenced
Nov. Is. The time thus set aside by the
last legislature, lasts for six weeks. AS this
will make fishing improbable, many fish,
ermen are preparing to leave Tor their
homes. Some will remain down the pay
and fish for bottom flsh.
Last week the DeSoto Fish Company of
Punta Gorda made enormous shipments of
fSh Tn civ ha
forwarded to the northern markets eight
solid carloads of mullet. During the same
period they shipped $50 gallons of oysters
the largest oyster shipment Punta Gorda
has ever known. Wednesday, of this week
they shipped two solid carloads of fish and
eighty-seven gallons of oysters.
Under the auspices of the Board Of
Trade, Barlow is to have another Gala
day. This time the horse-swappers are to
be much in evidence. Nov. "A Is the date
first prize, bride as second, and
spurs as third, will be given to the swap
pers. There will be several bicycle races,
$40 being the first prize; some loot races,
mule race, base ball game and an old
fashioned turkey shoot. The Courier In
formant has also offered a $40 china din
ner set to the white couple that Will come
in and get married during the day.
Word has been received at Lake City
stating that j. w. Brown had shot and
e. ". Munroe's turpentine farm. Brown
is the "round-rider'' on the farm. Find
ing that he was not doing his work, he
told the negro that he would have to do
better. This angered the negro, who at
once began cursing Brown, and threaten
ing to do him bodily injury. Brown be-
came excited. drew his pistol and fired
upon the negro, the ball taking effect
in the right breast. Brown, who is only
about IS years of age, at once went to
headquarters and resigned his position,
and left for parts unknown. AT the latest
accounts the negro was resting easily.
