below the surface and from there they
were precipitaued 800 feet further.

London, Nov. Especial dispatches
from Chefoo and Tentsin report that
the defenders of Port Arthur have re-
tired to the Lioat1 hill, where they
are holding out desperately, entrench-
ed and with ten guns of large calibre.
Many Russians, the correspondents
assert, are respondent and surrender

advancing with irresistible energy.
More reliable reports do not con-
firm these statements, but the Toxic
report of the capture Of Wantai hill,
q dominating fort within two miles
of the railway terminus, shows that
the Japanese are making rapid strides.
Bennett Burleigh, the Daily Tele-
graphs correspondent, reports from
Chefoo that there was no fighting on
the night OF Nov. s. The troops OF
the mikado, he says, have frequently
stolen into the native town Of Port
Arthur after dark, but invariably were
driven out at daylight, with heavy
losses. The Japanese have four large
forts facing the Russian works on
Rihlung mountain and Shangshu
mountain, where they are mounting
naval guns on stone foundations.

GAITER VILIE.
L. w. H..

During the last few weeks there
has been 50 much rain that work on
crops is almost impossible.
A terrific storm struck Gaiterville
Saturday doing a great deal of
damage TO crops, and upsetting fenc-
ing, so much so that the early hours
Sunday morning were spent chasing
out stock from the fields. Several
are complaining of losing both young
chickens and turkeys; some losing as
many as twenty head of young
turkeys.
Mr.. Jno. Boring, of Early Bird,
came down Saturday night after the
storm and says the only bad effects
of the storm he saw was in our little
burg.
MIR. a. r. Brooks, formerly of this
place, but now of Bowling Green, is
in Gaiterville looking after his
interests here. He will leave the
latter part of the week for his home
in Bowling Green.
Mr.. G. o. Turner and his charming
daughter, Ethel attended church at
Dunnellon Sunday. Miss Ethel viii
remain in DunnellOn few days the
guest of Mrs. Austin.
Mr.. Jno. Y. Barns, the cattle king
of Citrus county, was in Gaiterville
last week buying cattle. Mr.. Barns
has been in the cattle business for
several years and has been very sue
cessful.
Mr.. j. E. Brooks seems to be very
undecided of late whether he will go
back south or stay here. The at
traction seems to be very strong both
ways, ha, ha.

Two Distinguished Floridisns.

The older colleges and universities
of the country have from time TO time
conferred honorary degrees upon per
sons of distinguished merit-men
who have achieved fame at the bar,
in the pulpit, as authors, historians,
inventors, and along lines of original
investigations.
The trustees of the University of
Florida at their last meeting, follow
ing the example of the older univer-
sites, conferred the degree of L. L.
D. upon two of Florida's distinguish
ed sons, viz. Ex-Judge Milton H.
Mabry, Of PascO county, and Hon.
William A. Blount, of Pensacola.
Judge Mabry recently retired from
the supreme court of the state, car
rying with him the love and esteem
of the people of Florida and he will
be remembered as one of the ripest
scholars and profOundest lawyers
that ever graced that judicial tribu-
nal, and we believe that this honor
conferred upon him by the University
of Florida will be applauded by the
people of this state.
Mr.. Blount is recognized not only as
the ablest lawyer in Florida but many
of his associates, who have met him
at the bar, believe that he is the
ablest lawyer south of the Potomac
river. He is also a close student and
profound scholar and the conferr-
ing of this degree upon him will
everywhere be regarded as having
been fittingly bestowed.
