was a surprise, although it was
known that he was in very bad
shape.

Mr.. C. H. Gattis, passenger
agent of the Seaboard, is adver-
tising the Seaboard's winter trip
to Havana, leaving here January
II, 1909.
This outing will be chaperoned
by Mr.. and Mrs. Gattis who con-
Quoted the northern trip in Sep
tember and gave such general
delight to all who were on the
list of guests. This Cuban tour
is to be even better. There will
be a sail of a night from the
Florida coast to Havana and six
days will be spent in that city.
The fare is $44.65 for return and
the remaining expenses for Pull
man, hotel and meals en- route,
will be S52.25 and may be re-
duced.
This of course covers every
thing though there may be little

excursions that will run it up,

be reduced by the doubling up

ing prospects. They will begin
housekeeping in a pretty new
home, the gift of the BRIDES
father. They will live on Ed
wards street and will go shortly
to.their new residence.
