Pathetic Letters Written by the
 Wronged Girl.
 The crime for which Chester E. Gil- lette was sentenced to forfeit his fife in the electric chair in Auburn prison today. was the murder, of his sweet heart, Grace BbFown, near Big Moose in the Adirondaeks on July Ii, 1908.
 Gillette was convicted on circumstan- tiai evidence after a. sensational trial in which the pathetic love letters of Billy" Brown, as the girl was fa- miIiarly known among her associat tes. to Gillette, played an important part The girl who perished in the waters of Big Moose Lake had trusted GIL lette to make amends for the wrong he had done her, by making her hiR wife. and her letters which were found in the young mans room after his. arr rest at Eagle Bay, have been considered by many as classic in their simplicity and their tender pleading for the right that was her due.
 Her last letter to her lover. written a few days before her fatal trip to Big Moose, was particularly pathetic.
 T have been bidding goodbye to some places today" she wrote. There are so many hooks. dear, and all of them so dear to me. I have lived here nearly all my life. First, I said good bye to the sEring house with its great masses of green moss; then the apple tree where we had our playhouse; then the Beehive, cute little house in the orchard and. of course. all the neigh bors that have mended nay dresses from a little tot un, to save me thrashin9 I really deserved"

of sulphur. The ingredients may be
easily mixed by passing them through
sieve, or by working them on the
floor, very much as fertilizers are
mixed. After they are evenly mixed,
place the powder in a tub or barrel
and add enough water to bring it to
the consistency of paint. The right
amount OF water can easily be deter
mined by trial. II the wash covers
the surface we'll and flows easily from
the brush, it will be about right. The
trunks Of the trees and all of the ex-
posed roots should be given a thorough
coating of this material. In groves
where foot rot is just starting and
where the wounds are all very small,
this wash alone will frequently be
found sufficient. In groves where foot
rot occurs on considerable percentage
of the trees, it will be best to apply the
wash to the trunks and larger roots OF
all the trees those that are not affect
ed as we'll as the diseased.

FUNERAL OF MRS. ROBINSON
A Large Concourse of sorrowing
Friends Pay Last Tribute.

The funeral services over the body
OF the late Mrs w. L. Robinson inee
MISS Nellie Buell), who died last Thurs
day afternoon, at the residence Of her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. S. s. Buell., were
held Saturday afternoon at the Metho-
dist church. The interment took place
at the Fort Pierce cemetery, Rev. A..
D. Penney conducting the sad services.
The church was filled to overlooking
with sorrowing friends and relatives to
pay the last tribute OF respect to one
whom they all loved and cherished.
Many beautiful floral tributes we're in
evidence and excellent music was fur
nished by choir composed of Mes
danes D. T. McCarty, W. A. Belk, w.
E. VauLaudingham and F. w. Daniels;
Messrs. H. /. Klopp, d. Il. Conkling,
A. B. Brown and Leslie Daniels, with
Mrs. C. NJ. Horton, organist. The Fort
Pierce band in full uniform formed a
a guard of honor at the entrance to
the church. At the grave the band
rendered two beautiful selections.
The pail bearers we're: Messrs A. K.
Wilson, r. B. Robinson. W. A. Belk,
s. A, Davis, E. E. Wilson and Lucien
Baker.
Mr.. Robinson, husband of the de-
ceased, arrived Friday night from Two
Harbors, Mimi, where he has been
employed during the summer, and the
sad Journey was made with the fear
that be might not arrive in time to see
his wife before death closed her eyes
forever.
On account of the washouts, he
missed connections in Atlanta, but the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, OF
which he is member, procured spe-
cial engine for him, aud caught an
other train at Macon, thus allowing
him to arrive here Friday evening.
Mr.. and Mrs. Robinson were married
ia Fort Pierce on Dec. IL, 1907, and the
deceased was 20 years old at the time
of her death.
The News joins with the entire COM
munity in sympathy for the heart
broken husband and parents and the
sorrowing relatives.

HiQh School Crowded
MOP6 Room N66d6d
Largest ATTENDANCE Ever Recorded in the
Schools History.

The Fort Pierce Graded and High
School, for the term of 19O8-09 opened
Monday morning with record-break-
ing enrolment of pupils as we'll as an
enthusiastic attendance Of parents and
patrons.
Monday morning the streets leading
toward the school house presented
lively scene, and at the sound Of the
bell-which had been silent for four
months children began to pour in
from all quarters and strangers won
dered where so many children lived.
After the opening exercises, which
were very entertaining to the patrons
as we'll as pupils, the enrolment was
found to be 225, as against 1876 last
year. Since the opening morning this
has been enlarged and by the first Of
next week it is confidently expected
the rolls will show that over 260 are
enlisted in the school.
The two wagon routes, north aud
south, brought In their quota TO the
temple of learning and we understand
there will be another wagon route es-
tablished to the west, to bring the
children from the Five Mile Creek Sec
tion, where there are about II Of
school age,
Last year large two stor addition
was built TO the school house, but it is
now feared that even this is not suf6-
cient to comfortably take care OF the
greatly increased attendance.
The school board room and the store
room in the east end have been made
into one room, which is now utilized as
a school room, it having been fitted
with seats during the past month. The
large room in the new addition Is the
only room where the entire school can
be assembled for morning exercises or
on other occasions, and it is expected
that this will be divided and used as
two school rooms. This will leave the
school without any semblance Of an
auditorium.
Last year six teachers were in charge
but this year school opened with seven
and it is now found another instructor
is necessary.
The teachers now in charge are:
Mrs. Edith Hunter, principal; Miss Sue
Hunter, Miss Eddie Geiger, Miss Emma
Helseth, Miss Ianthe Bond, Miss Edith
Hunter, assistants; Miss Elma Geiger,
primary.

The CITRUS FOOT-ROT REMEDY
Press Bulletin No. 96 from Florida
Experiment Station.


The first symptom Of the disease that
is noticed is the oczing Of gum from
wounds occurring near the ground, La.
ter on the cumming ceases and the
bark dries, the portion that has become
diseased breaking of. These foot rot
wounds after they begin to heal are SO
characteristic that when once seen they
are rarely mistaken, The extent to
which the wounds spread depends on
variety of circumstances Sometimes
they are very small, being not more
than fraction OF an inch in diameter
and more or less circular in outline,
while at other times they may extend
nearly or quite around the tree at the
ground. In such cases the wound is Of
an irregular shape.
REMEDY
Since we have knQnn that the dis
ease Is infectious and understood the
conditions which favor its spread. a
remedy can be much more successfully
applied. The following brief rules II
followed carefully and conscientiously,
will eliminate the disease from grove
and in many cases save trees that other
wise would be lost
/. Remove the soil from about the
crown and the crown roots, at least as
far back as any disease occurs. The
greatest care should be exercised not
10 wound the roots in removing the
soil, BY wounding the roots, opportu-
nifty is given for the microbes to enter
and it is altogether possible that some
virus of the disease may be on the i'm
nlement used in removing the soil. A
very small, even an invisible amount OF
this virus, is capable of starting the
disease in anew place; consequently
anv tools or implements used about
foot rot tree should be thoroughly dis
infected before being used on healthy
ones.
Q After the soil has been removed
from the crown, cut out the diseased
narts. For this purpose large pocket
knife with a strong blade is handy
instrument. The bark should be cut
aUay asfar as the disease occurs, which
can be easily told by a yellowish or
dark discoloration Of the inner bark
Az the disease rarely penetrates into
the wood it will be sufficient to remove
the bark. -
:. After the diseased part has all
been cut out, apply an antiseptic wash.
One Of the most readily obtainable and
La one Of the best, is crude carbolic
acid-usiug one part of the acid to one
nort Of water. This may be applied
With a paint brush or with a SWAP
,,os, naonle find the latter the handler
!, the two, and it can be readily made
Nv wrapping the end of stick with
some old cotton cloth.
when the disease makes its appear
. nee early 10 the year, it may be neces.
!. - 70 repeal this operation second
s;ms. or even more frequently. The
reouepcy with which the operation
Mould be performed will depend upon
climatic conditions and on the severity
II the infection
After the above remedy has been
applied and no new cases OF loot ROT ..
,pvs been discovered for a period OF
70 or three months, the following
wash may be applied TO the trunks Of

after long cold ride in the rain from
Grafton, turned to and beat their oppon-

advantage was with the Pembina boys,
the ball being in Park River territory
most of the time, and Kneeshaw made a
sixty yard run for touchdown that the
referee called back to the % yard line
claiming that he ran out of bounds at
that point.
The promised game of tomorrow with
Cavalier is called off by the Cavalier

DISAPPEARED


Charles Fee who returned from Europe
couple of weeks ago gives the following
details as to the disappearance of his
fsther, who was one of the pioneers of
the Bay Center locality. Mr.. Fee left
for trip to the old country about two
years ago. He was about seventy years
of age. He had been staying at Belfast
Ireland for about two months, and April
9th, 1907, he left to go to Glasgow. He
paid his hotel bill and started to walk to
the steamer, and has never been heard
from since. A strange fact in the case is
that several months later, daughter
living in Fort William, Ontario, received
a letter purportlng to be from her
father. Mr.. Fee generally had others to
write his letters. The letter received
was very indefinite in tone, and no trace
of him could be found. Mr.. Chas. Fee
used every means by advertising and
with detectives, but no trace was dis.
covered that he ever left Belfast. Mr..
Fee was man easily approached by
strangers, and undoubtedly had consider.
able money on his person. Lis son
returned convinced that he was no long.
or alive. The detectives still have the
case in hand. Many old friends in this
county will regret to learn Of the pro
able tragedy. Mr.. Fee was highly re
