This rise is not likely to be high enough to affect the levees or in any way test their strength. but Mir. Cory wanted ito see what effect an ads ditional pressure of water would have on them A rise of three feet would bring the river up to about 24 feet.

 periaI Lands

A ROMANTIC MARRIAGE.

County Were Married Here.
There was rather a romantic mar
rage in this city Tuesday morning,
which summoned Justice Colman

which at least had the tendency to
console a couple of young people, the

J. j, Letner, a young man who re-
sides near OCala, and Miss Della A.

eled all night for the purpose of mar
riage. Report says that they visited
several places In an endeavor to find
an officer authorized to tie the nuptial
knot, but were unsuccessful until they
reached Gainesville, where they Sc
cured license and sought the serv.
ices OF Justice Colman.
The contracting parties are we'll

was any particular objection to their
union, but with desire to have the

When the Board Of Public Works
let this contract for lateral sewerage
connections there were only two bid
lders, and Mr. l}eeman, who also In
stalled the sewerage system. was the
successful bidder, his estimate being
between $4,000 and $1,000. The con-
tract provided that the work was to
be completed within six months from
the time the contract was signed, but
no question Of possible financial en-
barassment was mentioned In the
same. This places the whole affair
in a rather embarrassing situation but

cannot AFFORD to make further prog
ress until reasonably assured Of his
