Mr.. Gillet Sustains Heavy Loss From
Peculiar Cause.-Mr. Z. NJ. Gilet, proprietor
of Bacon Hall Stock Farm, in the 9TH district
of this county, sustained a heavy loss a few
DAYS ago from an odd cause. For some time
he had been buying stale cakes and other bakery
products in large quantities and feeding them
to his stock with the most satisfactory results.
The stuff was stored in the barn and last Sat
urday night eleven of his Hereford COWS found
an open door that gave them access to it.
They must have eaten very freely of the cakes
and on Monday they manifested signs of sick
ness and DIR. Dickinson Gorsuch, veterinary
surgeon, was summoned, but as he did not
know the cause of the strange actions of the
cattle he found it impossible to relieve them.
Finally it was ascertained what was the cause
of the trouble but not until eleven of the an
imaIs had succurnbed. Mr.. Gillet valued the
COWS at $3.50 head making his loss 81 750.
The cakes, among which were ginger snaps,
had created an unusual thirst and the cattle
had partaken of large quantities of water.
This, the DR.. said, caused their death.

Dog Grieves at Separation.-Lion, the
beautiful collie belonging to Miss Caroline M.
c. Hart of Mount Washington, who is destiD-
ed shortly to follow his mistress to her new
home in Philadelphia, has had 10 days of sore
misgivings before her departure.
Lion belonged as puppy to Miss Esther
Robinson, daughter of Mrs. E. A. Robinson,
of Byzantine, Mount Washington, which FAM
lily is now abroad. There was much packing
of boxes and trunks preparatory to the Robin
son family departure from home, and then a
sudden transfer of Lion to a new mistress and
surrounding. For time the dog grieved for
his departed friends, but after a while trans
ferred his affections to Miss Hart.
When that lady decided to remove to Phila-
delphia the inevitable packing of boxes and
dismantling of the house began. Lion regar-
ded these ominous signs with increasing dis
tress, and when trunks were added to the array
of luggage his grief became acute. For day S
before Miss Harris departure he scarcely per-
mitted her out of his sight, and it is to be
hoped that when leaving him the other day
his affectjonate heart understood her repeated
assurances that he is shortly to follow her to a
new home-Odd Tales, in Baltimore San.

Win Move Away,

Widespread sorrow will be mani
fest at the news of the removal of
Mr. and Mrs. Jas. A. Close from
Crescent City to Asheville, N. c., a
removal made necessary by the con-
tinued ill-health of Mrs. Close, and
the desire on the part of the mem
bers of the family that she live
where she can be cared for by some
of her daughters. For this reason it
has been decided to go to Asheville,
where her daughter, Mrs. w. B.
Northrop, resides. The Crescent
City home will, therefore, be closed
Immediately and next week the fur
niture and other household effects
shipped to that place. E-re. Close
and her daughter, Miss Elizabeth,
went to Palatka last Monday where
they will remain during the packing
up process. Mr.. Close, Mr.. and Mrs.
Northrop, and Mrs. j. w

ing, and next week all will join Mrs.
Close in Palatka, whence they will
start for AshGville. /
Mr.. and Mrs. James A. Close have
had IL winter home in Crescent City
for the past Is years, and during most
of the time for the past five years
have resided here continuously
Their beautiful residence on Pros
poet street with its ample lawns,
shrubbery, ornamental shade trees
and fruit trees, constitute one of the
most attractive homes in Florida,
and for many years this home has
been the gathering center for large
family of children and grandchildren
during the winter season. Mr.. and
Mrs. Close have also mingled freely
with our people and taken an active
interest in all social affairs and other
matters calculated to add to the at
Effectiveness of our little town. 1t is
doubtful if the removal of any other
one family would cause such general
regret among the people of Crescent
City.
