ago, and met with an unexpected and
rather funny experience. He had lust
shot and killed las he thought) a big
gator, and deciding he would cut off a
piece Of the gators tail to cook and
eat as a substitute for fish, he had the
negro grab the gator by the tail and
begin TO saw it in two. Well. a 'gatoris
something like a cat, and has, or seems
to have, more than one life, and when
the knife reached a place in his flesh
more tender than ever, he fetched a
mighty hOunce and this caused both men
to throw their weight on one side of the
boat, and it turned oyer and spilled
them in the water. The gator turned
the boat" if not "the tables" on them
IN the Joke. The water was shallow,
and except getting wet and cold they
came out all right. AS the "other
fellow" wasn't there they laughed at
themselves.

Hs 20 His Nonev's Worth.

There was a coach that used TO run
between Nola ChuclSy and Paint Rock,
q matter Of some forty miles. For
lunch the coach stopped at a halfway
house in Tin Can, and here q good so
cent meal was put Out-cake and pie,
coffee and tea and all the cold meats
you could mention.
But the landlord of the halfway house
had q mean little secret dicker with the
driver, whereby as soon as the travel
lers had paid for their lunch and got
fairly settled to il a call would come for
an immediate start. So of they'd all

cents worth Of food and only eaten,
you see, about cents worth.
But along came one day a traveller
with q sharp, bright eye. The landlord
found this chap, some ten minutes after
the coach had started on again, still
tucking in pie and ham at a terrible
rate.
"Why, man." he said, you've let
the coach go without you"
II know it, ;" said the traveller calmly.
II was too blessed hungry TO stop eatl
ing"
Suddenly the landlords face psled.
Good gracious r. he said, "all my
silver's gone"
II was, too. Not a knife, fork or
spoon was left except the Sharp-eyed
mans.
He said, as he kept on eating, that he
had noticed q suspicious looking char
seter among the passengers-R man
with a red beard, hump and q limp
nh. very sugpiciOus.
The landlord sent q hOGtler of 10
Overtake the coach and bring il back.
In about forty minutes the coach re-
turned. Then the shaTp-eyed man came
forth, wiping his mouth. But he made
no effort to indentify the suspicious
looking passenger. Instead, he got
aboard the coach, took his seat and said
cOOlly
Thanks, landlord, for the good food

ChaIrss Notes.

Chaires, April %. Rev. I. S. PatteF
son, Of Tallahassee, came out last Wed
nesday morning and remained till Fri
day with his relatives. He and Mr.. j
II. Patterson went fishing on the river
and caught some of the finest fish we
ever had the pleasure of eating. We
believe the minister is almost as sue
eesgtul catching fish as he is in winning
souls.
Miss Mary WoOdberry visited her
parents from Friday till Monday p. M,
when she returned 70 her school duties
at the college.
Miss Pearl McLin, of Tallahassee,

Sunday p. m. 49,
The Easter egg hunt which took place
on the Methodist church grounds Thurs
day afternoon was the delight Of the
little folks, Although somewhat older
than they we could not answer some Of
the questions prompted by their en-
quiring little minds in regard to the
rabbits, etc.
Mr.. J. c. Upchurch started to Fer
nandina last Wednesday on business,
but finding the man in Jacksonville he
returned home the same day.
Messrs. Miles johnson, Jr., Talbot
Bernard and BOotsy Gwynn were in
Chaires Sunday evening.

reported good crowds and good collec-

Leon Circuit. The people of Chaires
have bought fine new stove for the

Centreville are furnishing it with some
new dishes.
Mrs. MintOn, of Tallahassee, paid
Mrs. Mickler a brief visit last Wednes-
day en- route from Monticello.
The Senior EpWOrth League held an

Patterson will act as leader next Sun
day. The special service of the joint
Leagues was called in as some were 50
busy practicing for the closing exer-
cises Of school, which takes place on
May the 18th we believe.
AS Easter came so late this year it
afforded an opportunity for us all to
wear our new hats before so that we
might not entirely lose the meaning Of
the holy day in thinking Of our attire
worn for the first time.
Rev. J. d. Bohamon delivered a fine

Base Ball Season Opened In Talla.
haSSse.
The Tallahassee Base Ball Associa.
tlOn was formed some weeks ago, with
Bradford Byrd as Manager, L. o.
Holmes is Secretary and Treasurer, and
Peres McDougall, Captain. The team
played their opening game in Tallahas-
see last Friday afternoon with Craw-
fordville. There was a large attend
ance and a good game.
The Tallahassee boys outclassed the
visitors, but it took good, swift playing
to do so. Crawfordville brought strong
lineup, having players from St. Marks,
Arran and AshmOre TO meet them here
and join in the game.
Lotion pitched an excellent game for
the locals, and only allowed one hit.
Tallahassee found one Of the best play
ers yet in McCloud, I'd baseman. He
was right there every time with the
goods. His "three base drive" over
left field was one OF the sensational
features of the game.
Sheats, the veteran pitcher, played
third, and his work in this position was
pleasing to all. yf"Old Chief Hamlin"
was there with his usual hitting, secur-
ing a ID base and 3-base hit. For Craw-
fordville, Harrell, I'd base, carried off
the honors.
Tallahassee is hitting better this
yearithan last, and if the boys will
keep up spirit and play ball as they did
in this game, it will be no "scinch" for
another team TO carry off the rag"
Arrangements are now being made for
a game with the "FlOrida Champions"
Monticello.
