wAYsIDE NOTES
EAST LAKE STA NTOE


tor friend, Alec Wynnc, and his
splendid wife, at East Lake, and
in our perambulatlons we made
the following notes:
Messrs. Roscoe and Schwarts
of Akron, Ohio, who have been
enjoying Florida climate for the
past four months at the Ed
Coates cottage at Stanton, and
disposed of the same with lots,
will leave for home this week.
Miss Anderson, a niece of Mr..
Roscoe, and who spent the win
ter with them, will accompany
them.
1t is said that the Coates cot
tage IS a piece of property that
saw the mortgage whole.
Mr.. Allen, late of Galveston,
Texas, is a late and desirable ac-
QUESTION to the citizenship of
Stanton. He is a Scotchman, a
gentleman by birth and educa-
ton, a man of means, leisure and
lasts, and he has taken an inter-
est in that section, which the
Star trusts will prove mutually
profitable. He occupies the Err
nest Perrin place. Mr.. Allen has
purchased five acres of the. En-
ma Spooner grove, also five
acres in grove, south of Weirs-
dale, and will rehabilitate the
same. Mr.. Allen is an enthusi-
astic sportsman, enjoys hunting
and fishing, and is thinking Sc
rlously of starting brood of
field pheasants on his preserves.
A. s. j. Mckinney, the mer-
chant OF Stanton, and a gentle
man whom it is always a pleas
ure to meet, is moving along in
the even tenor of his way, at
tending strictly to business,
which is on the increase. Mr..
Mckinney still believes IN the or
ange industry, and is cultivating
a number of groves that are
promising well, while his faith in
the velvet bean is growing rapid
ly, and he has twenty-five acres
under cultivation.
Howard @. Jones, one of the
pioneer homesteaders In the
South Lake Weir section, is 60
ing In the vineyard business, and
is preparing to set out an acre of
choice vines, and will enlarge it
as time passes. Mr.. Jones is a
most pleasant, gentleman, who
carries sunshine in his heart and
is always a welcome visitor.
We touched the honest palm of
Frank Lytle, who, as an all
around citizen, has no peer. Cap
tain Lytlc has really retired from
the orange industry and turned
over the remains of his once fa-
nous grove to his son, Ernest, a
young man Of sterling character,
who started in this spring to
make new grove by budding
the roots of the old trees. Err
nest, who has a very fine bunch
of cattle, had the misfortune,
Friday, to lose his very fine Jer-
sey stock bull. A locomotive ran
over him.
Mrs. N. K. Brown did not have
her trees banked, so lost her
buds, but vigorous shoots are in
evidence all over the field. Mrs
Brown is spending the summer
with her daughter, Mrs. Clauss,
in New York.
In the rear of Mrs. Browns
place is the nineteen-acre grove
Of Hodson's, consisting of grape
p fruit and the famous Parson
Brown buds, which present a
sight that infuse delight that
cannot be reprcssed. Mr.. Geo
r. Snow, the veteran nursery.
man, grove owner and cultlvator
has charge of this property. Ad.
joining is Mr.. Shows fire nur
sery, part of which consists o1
half a million shoots from soul

Tribute To DR.. LamsOn.

In the last issue of the Chicago Advance
Rev. Or. F. A. Noble, of Chicago, has
strong plea for President Angel, OF Ann
Arbor University, to succeed the late DR..
Lamson as president of the American
Board. Our readers will be especially in
terested in the opening paragraph.
1t is a sad necessity-this of being
obliged so soon after his death to turn
our thoughts to a fit successor to DR..
Lamson in the presidency of the Ameri-
can Board. This quiet Hartford pastor
came so providentialy into his place; he
took up the responsibilities of the posi-
ton with such an easy, natural grace; he
was so earnest and faithful in the dis
charge of all the duties which fell to his
high Office; and he gave such univer-
sal satisfaction to all the friends
Of foreign missions within the circle
of our Congregational churches. that
the question of suitable leader for
the Board seemed settled for many a
year. But in a moment all our fondly
cherished expectations were overturned !;
and the place for which it seemed so diff
ficult two years ago to find the right per-
son is once more vacant. This place must
be filled. Who shall fill it -?
