Charles W. Dickey is very sick with pneu-

Capt. j. W. Bennett is at home for a short

Holland submarine boat, now in the Poto-

Tapley Bros. of Brooksville bought a
splendid carriage horse of Isaac feathers
this week. There are always few of that
kind on hand in Brooks, for the reason that
certain of our citizens are constantly on the
lookout for promising horses and keep them
in stock.
There was a large congregation at the
church last Sunday to greet the new Minis
ter" Rev. Geo. Morton of Hartford Conn,
but more recently of Iowa. The general
Impression was highly favorable. He is a
large and powerfully built man somewhat
over fifty years of age and weighing about
30 pounds, and in appearance suggests the
typical Kentucky Colonel of the blue grass
region. The Rev. Mr.. Morton is entirely
free from that limp and sapless atfectation
sometimes mistaken for spirituality, and it
took but short time TO discover that he is
an orator of great power and dramatic in
stincts, with an intellectual force and direct
ness that is generally associated with the
bar and political forum rather than the pull
pit. He will preach at Union church next
Sunday at $50 p NJ
The ladies' entertainment Thursday even
ing, under the auspicies of Brooks Lodge of

consisting of Rotations, songs, music by or
chestra, and Mrs. BOWS collection OF rare
animals shove the thoroughness of prepar-

work of the ladies in charge. In the new
and popular drama, "An Old Maids Woo
ing" the leading and difficult part of
Sally Ann was admirably taken by Mrs. A.
E. Chase, while Mrs. Huxford, Mrs. Fogg
and Miss Vashti Fogg impersonated Mrs.
Perkins, Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Dan LETTERS
in their usual happy manner. OF the gem
tlemen it is unnecessary to speak, as their
we'll known modesty would, doubtless, be
shocked at seeing their names in print. A
handsome sum was realized for the benefit
of the church.

You Can't

Did you ever try to dodge the
rain-drops ? Did not succeed
very well, did you? It's just
as useless to try to escape FROM
the germs of consumption. You
can't do it. They are about us
on every hand and we are corr
stantly taking them into our
lungs.
Then why don't we all have
this disease -? Simply because
these germs cannot gain a foot
hold i'm a strong throat and
lungs. It's when these are
weak that the germs master.
The body must be we'll supplied
with fat. The danger comes
when the blood is poor and the
body is thin. If your cough does
not yield, and your throat and
lungs feel raw and sore, you

Fair Estate Suit.

San Francisco, Feb. 19.--The proceed
ings in the first session of the court to-
day in the suit of Mrs. Nettie Craven
against the heirs of the late Senator Fair,
were not as exciting as expected.
Attorney Pence for the Craven inter-
ests called Judge Troutt's attention to
the charges of perjury. contempt of court
and assault which have appeared in the
daily papers and asked that an immedi-
ate investigation be had to fix the re-
sponsibiltty.
Judge Trout responde that the dis
trict attorney was preparing to bring
the matter before the grand jury, at
which Mr.. Knight, for the Fair heirs, ex-
pressed himself as courtinf the fullest
inquiry into the acts of the attorneys
for the Fair heirs. An argument was
precipitated because the attorney for
Mrs. Craven asked the court to issue
an order compelling the attorneys of
the Fair executors to produce the private
memorandum books, etc. of the Fair es-
tate. Attorney McEneriney protested
against such procedure and his conten-
ton was upheld by the court.
Mrs. Craven was called to the stand
and resumed her testimony given last
Thursday detailing her different places
of residence and travels since June,
1898.

as. has forwarded to the adjutant general
a copy of the following telegram from
Captain Loughborough, commanding the
troops at Fort Bliss, Texas, in regard to
the trouble with the local authorities at
Ell Paso, Texas, on the 18th:
Through the negligence or connivance
of non-commissioned officers in charge
of the barracks, arm racks We're opened
last night n a number Of rifles taken
out. One soldier was killed and I learn
one guard at the city Jail, where two
soldiers were held for drunken and dis

locked and keys in my possession. All
ammunition has been placed under lock
and key. Have not permitted any one
to leave garrison. Am cooperating with
civil authorities. and will do everything
in my power to bring the guilty parties
to Justice"
General McKibbon adds that he has or
