terrain church tonight at I O'Clock.

ton, for there will be an interesting
discourse.
A dozen boxes of kumquats We're
shipped from Mr.. Gilbert's little
kumquat grove last Monday. This
grove is on the lake front just north
OF the North park, and is a very
pretty sight with the trees laden
viii fruit. There are probably 50 or

The boys composing the junior
base ball club of last season are get
ting together again for practice,
preparatory to going out in the coun-
ty and securing few scalps. The
boys are putting the grounds in
shape for practice work-taking out
the weeds and sandspurs.
Besides the community Thanks
living dinner at the V. 1. A. hall,
there are numerous private
spreads on today that would
tempt Dives Injured to sumptuous
fare by 1865 days practice each year.
And best of all, there are none of the
ribe of Lazarus in our town.
The ladies having charge of the
excursion for the benefit of the pub
lie school desire that the News
should tender in their behalf thanks
to Capt. J. w. Miller for his gener-
Gus donation of the steamer Cres-
cent. The excursion was given on
che night of November 18th, and
Melted $l3, for the fund.
The town council has performed
commendable work in having pine
straw spread upon the principal
streets, and in cleaning many of the
,idewaiks of sandspur grass, but the
work might profitable be carried to
other streets. In other words, there
IRE other tax payers in town enti-
lied to little consideration.

Mrs. NJ. H. White is lying serious
Y ill at her home on Lake street
She was stricken with paralysis oil
tuesday of last week, and since that

fined to the left side and rendering
the sufferer unable to walk or use
her left arm. She is under the care
of DR.. G. F. Sprague and is attended

and where her kindly, sympathetic
nature has made her name dear to
Ill our people. The sympathy of
the community is also enlisted in be-
half of the family to whom these are
anxious days
