new to the play-going public of Fort
Pierce will be presented. Especially
strong among these is Miss Lena Conk-
ling of whom mention has before been
made in this column,
The members of the club have worked
hard and faithful at this play and the
production will rank well compared
with those produced in the past. The
proceeds will go toward ceiling the
Improvement hall upstairs. The ladies'
hope to realize sufficient on this pro-
duction toward finishing this important
work. With the ceiling on, the acoustic
properties of the hall will be well nigh
perfect and one will not be compelled
to strain their eyes and open their
mouth to hear what is being said on
the stage.
The following is program of the
evening.

IN the State, who will furnish all books
and blanks superntend the work at
rltusville and at Fort Pierce until the
new plan is clearly understood, for
$50. We estimate that it will cost
about 81, $50 for clerical work in Titus
vile, and $1,000 in Fort Pierce. to Sc
cure all the real estate records we need
from Brevard. Every year the matter
is delayed will add materially to the
cost. Shall we commence the work
nov. or wait as some propose, until the
cost Is doubled ?
For fear | may be misunderstood in
re gard to our private abstractors |
take this opportunity of saying that in
my judgment they are gentlemen of fine
ability, painstaking, thorough and ac-
curate.
In regard to Mr.. Hardee, wish to
say that | believe him to be strictly
h NEST, that the sums mentioned as
paid him are legal, and that he was
fully justified in taking them. mere
~ give the figures as comparison to
the case he stated,
humbly beg the forgiveness of the
reading public for this infection, and
promise that if it is possible, ! will sin
no more. Respectfully.

sibly be used for fuel. At o'clock on
