spoke from experience, and
the WaltOns Of the land,
profting by his excellent adj
vice, are coming.
The season this year has
been a little later than usual,
for tarpon, but it was for
mally inaugurated last Satur-
day with the customary exer-
else by Messrs. G.. j. Hop
kins and w. Z. Farnsworth,
who landed three not very
large but very gamey and
beautiful specimens, aggre-
eating in weight about ITO
pounds.
The gentlemen were trolling
for trout, with light tackle,
near the inlet when the tarpon
struck, and the fact that they
landed their game is evidence
of expert work. -
The first catch weighed 20
pounds, but this would not
satisfy them so they continued
in the search for the beautiful
silver king, and landed another
that tipped the scales at 36
pounds. The last catch, of
which the above photograph
was taken, weighed So pounds.
Mr.. Farnsworth said, in an in
terview with The TRIBUNE

Unlike the topography of the East
Coast, that of Leon county is rolling,
hills Of red clay and wooded with hard
wood trees, and lakes of fresh water
in which fresh water fish abound, form
delightful contrast to the flat country
of the coast. Being considerably to
the north, and of a much higher g lova-
ton, TALLAHASSEE offers a beautiful and
invigorating climate, conducive to
study and development

some instances to disregard the desires
of few who had personal preferences,
or who had obligations they wished to
repay, for it was not in the province of
the executive committees power to re-
ward friends, or to punish enemies, and
they are willing to let the record of the
men they recommended for appoint
ment stand as a monument to their
judgment, good or bad, and the verdict
of st. Lucie county at the expiration Of
their term will be accepted and not the
voice Of Il now insignificant minority.

IMPROVEMENT
| CLUB ACTIVE
They will Build a Town Hall and
Reading Room.
|TO BE INCORPORATED
Stock will be Offered for Five Dollars
per Share--Big Thanksgiving
Day Program.

An important meeting Of the Fort
Pierce Improvement club was held last
Monday in the school house and was
largely attended by its members.
The object of tins club is for the bet
terment of the town, and the ladies who
compose its membership are quite ac-
tive in suggesting and furthering any
movement which will be for that pur-
pose.
The great need for an amusement
and public hall has engrossed the atten-
ton lately, and at this meeting the mat
ter was thoroughly discussed and step
taken that will mean for the accom-
plishment of this object at no distant
date.
The ladies' have now decided to incor-
porate the club and will offer for sale
stock at the par value Of So per share,
this fund to form nucleus to the
amount necessary to build tirstclass
town hall and club building. As the
amount necessary will greatly exceed
what they expect to realize from the
sale of stock, they are making arrange
ments to borrow the necessary capital,
so that the work may commence in the
near future. The plans are to build a
two story building, the upper floor to be
| used as a public hall, while the first
/ floor will be used as a club room, read
ling room and library.
A committee consisting of Mrs. {. Il.
|McCarty Mrs. c. M. Horton, Mrs.
Beatrice Middlebrooks and Mrs. Geo.
Saunders were appointed to draw up
the articles of Incorporation and secure
1.-THE necessary funds to begin the work.
This committee was also empowered to
wait on the town council and request
the donation of site for club build
ing, soliciting the lot just north Of the
school house, which would make an
ideal location.
The club also made the initial ar
engagements for an "all-day" celebra-
tion to be held Thanksgiving day This
will consist of bazaar, at which ar
tcles of merit will be offered for sale,
the proceeds to be applied to the build
ing fund a play, which will be of high
class, and reireshment stand.
The following ladies were appointed
on the committee to arrange for the
bazaar: Mesdames F. R. Horton H. |.
Klopp, w. j. Nesbitt, Beatrice Middle
brooks, W. N. Hendry and F. DePew.
The refreshment committee consists
of Mesdames T. w. Tomkies, S. s. Hal
iday, Geo. Saunders and Miss Rena
Faber.
The committee to select and arrange
for the play consists of Mesdames C.M.
Horton, c. 7. McCarty, w. j. Nesbitt,
Beatrice MiddlebrOOks and c. S. Emer-
son.
The great need for a public hall has
been very generally understood for
some time and the ladies will receive
every encouragement from the public
in this enterprising work.

Of all forms of sport loved
by disciples of Isaac Walton,
there is little doubt that the
most exhilerating is fishing for
tarpOn. This gamey fish each
season attracts hundreds of
wealthy sportsmen to southern
waters and certain bays and
inlets where tarpon are plenti-
full have become quite famous.
Not the least of these is In

the late Senator Quay main
