Crescent City people will rejoice to
learn of the marriage of Dick Burn
ham of st. Augustine to Miss Carrie
Guard, which took place at Spring
field, Ohio, on Wednesday evening
of last week. Dick Burnham, the
groom is the same little Dick" who
in former years lived and grew to be
lusty youth in this place; the same
little "Dick" who got so unmerciful-
ly chewed by an alligator down by
Paysons mill a dozen years ago, but
who recovered, got to be some
punk" on the East Coast Railway
and has now married, all hope, to
live happily ever afterward.
DIR. Sprague's faithful old dog was
found dead on the street last Mon
day morning. At first it was thought
the dog had been poisoned, but'thost
who saw him last say that he did not
show poison symptoms. 1t is now
believed that the dog died from
overtaXing its vocal chords in al
effort to drown Albert Lounds' bugle.
The dog never did like the bugle,
and every time it sounded he raised
his voice in protest. AS his protests
were unheeded it is thought likely
the poor dog died from melancholia.

Como was startled on Monday

man had been found in Lake Lizzie
near the railOad. Mr. Horace Prior
telephoned to the sheriff at Palatka.
1t seems the body was found floating
in the water and had to all appear
ances been there some time. The
hands look to be crossed as if tied,
and it is stated by some, that blood
marks can be seen and marks Of
wounds on the head. Parties have
gone with rope to fasten the body
to stake, to prevent it from sinking
or floating away until the sheriff
arrives.
In response to the telephone mes
sage Justice G. l. ROwton of Palatka
and Deputy Sheriff Kennerly came
to Como. The body was hauled out
and identified as that of very light

been murdered. His feet and hands
were tied with stout cord, u weight
attached to his body and tracks were
found showing that after the murder
his body had been dragged from the
railroad track to the lake, distance
of a quarter of a mile. Little had
been shot.
He was last seen alive in Como.

Parties living in Como report having

above facts were brought out. The
Jurors rendered verdict that Littlt

Como was highly favored on SUR
day by having two ministers in the
pulpit. Rev. A. w. Hawks, OF
Green Cove Springs, delivered two
excellent sermons at the M. f.
church. The evening sermon was
al able eXhortation, from the text

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR TOPICS.

Lesson Thoughts.
That Is an erroneous view OF relig.
ion which looks for sudden bursts and
violent changes in the spiritual life
of men, the growth of genuine piety
Is gradual and almost invisible, like
the course Of vegetation in the nat.
ural world.
AS without industry man would have
no harvest. so without active effort
he would have no religion; though
both depend on God for increase.
We are always growing-either
unto the measure of the stature OF
the fulness of Christ" or in the like.
ness of Sin. These growths are in
opposite directions, and each advance
in one takes us so much farther from
the other. Which way in 1904?
Selections.
After all the researches OF phloso.
piers, not one has been able to tell
the way in which the grain grows,
They can observe one fact after an.
other; they can see the changes they
can see the necessity of rains and
suns, CT care and shelter, but beyond
! this they cannot go. SO in religion.
We can mark the change; we can SEQ
the need of prayer, and examination,
and searching the Scriptures, and the
use of the ordinances of religion but
we cannot tell in what way the re-
ligious principle is strengthened.
AS God unseen, yet by the use OF
proper means. makes the grass to
flourish, so God unseen, but by proper
means, nourishes the soul, and the
plants of piety spring up and bloom
and bear fruit.
Prayer-Lord God, graciously
strengthen our faith, that our growth
and progress are in thy hands. En-
able us to see what a precious, pow.
erful life was implanted in us by thy
self, life that increases with a di.
vine increase. Teach us to take away
all that can hinder the new life, to
bring forward all that can further It,
so that during this new year thou
maycst make thy work in us glorious
Amen.

Dutx to 10 Pleasant.

We are ar to think that our being
happy or unhappy is something that af
fects only ourselves. On the contrary
neither condition is ever absolutely con
fined to the person who experiences it.
and, unfortunately, the back edge
Of ones unhappy moods laps ovei
on the lives of others. The girl who
comes down to breakfast feeling b.ue'
is apt to impart tinge OF the same mel
sncho.y TO every one e.se before the meai
is over, and the man or woman who is alb
sorbed in the contemplation OF h.s or he,
own troubles, real or fancied, is doins
something to add to the gloom Of worio
that is more lacking in sunshine than il
need be. No matter Shat ones privat,
feeling may be, one can always make AT
effort to be pleasant for the sake of Other
peoples happiness. While the opportuni
ty OF doing some great and noble thin,
may not often occur, the simple but beau
tifM opportunity of being pleasant is al
