Saw Father First Time.

For the first time 10 his knowledge
in his life Samuel NJ. Burritt, of this
city, saw his father Robert Crowson,
and his brother and sisters, last night
at Clearwater, for which point he
left yesterday morning.
When three months of age Mr..
Burrett was adopted by the well
known Campbell Burritt, of this city,
now deceased. After the death of his
foster parent, Mrs. Burritt informed
her adopted son of his parents and
gave him some of the family connec-
|tion. Mr.. Burritt had all this time
believed his father dead until a few
days ago, when he advertised for
some information regarding his rela-
tives. Wr. Crowson brother, ans
wered the advertisement and sent a
photograph, which developed a corre-
spondence. From this correspondence
Mr.. Burritt learned of other members
of his family, among them being
Charles Crowson, a brother, and Mrs.
NJ. L. Kirsey, residing near Clearwa-
ter, who is his sister. Mr.. Crowson,
the father, has arranged for a family
reunion upon the arrival of his son.
so that he can meet his brothers and
sisters, whom he has never seen be-
fore, and the occasion promises to be
most happy one.
Mr.. Burritt's mother separated
from her husband before he was born,
and has since married again and is
resident of Tampa.
Mr.. Burritt is valued attachee of
the Metropolis, being superintendent
of circulation and in Acharge Of the
carrier system.-Metropolis
The Crowsons formerly lived in
Ocala and are known to our older
residents.

oCALA, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2. 1906.
Death Of Mrs. w. o. earn.

When it was learned Monday af-
ternoon that the spirit of Mrs. w. d.
earn, the wife of Marion county's
superintendent of public instruction
had taken its fight from its earthly
home, profound sorrow was felt by
her friends all over the city.
Mrs. earn was the daughter of
Rev. and Mrs. Herman C. Martin, of
Fort Mccoy, old time residents of
this county. She was about twenty
seven years of age and was married
to Mr. earn when only seventeen
years old, their marriage taking place
the same year that Mr.. earn was
elected to his present office. Besides
her husband and parents, she leaves
three little children, two boys and a
little girl, and several brothers and
sisters, one of whom is Mrs. Geo.
Close, of this city, all of whom have
the deepest sympathy of their host OF
warm friends all over the county.
Mrs. earn was a member of the
Baptist church and was a beautiful
Christian character. She was de
voted wife and mother, loving
daughter and her death leaves void
in the lives of her family that can
never be filed.
Mrs. earn had been sick for mum
ber of weeks but it was only for sew
eral days before her death that hel
health was considered alarming. Al
the loving care and attention possible
was given her but it was impossible
to save her life.

Board of Trade Meetinq,

An interesting board of trade meet
ing was held in the council chamber
Monday night
A number of questions looking to
the general welfare of the city were
discussed and Mr.. Rheinauer gave
some interesting figures concerning
the sanitation of the city.
The figures he submitted proved
conclusiyely that large percentage
of the sickness of the city is confined
to those using cisterns and surface
wells, principally the latter, and this
has been the case as long as a rec.
ord has been kept Of the city's health
Barely one per cent of the sickness
is found among those who use city
water.
Other matters of interest were dis.
cussed.
