Mr. and Mrs. W. w. Luce have been
in Jacksonville for several days. Mrs.
Luce while there met with "A genuine
surprise, the arrival of her father,
Mr.. Jenney, of Stowe, Vt. Mr. Jenney
will remain the guest of the Luce fam

visit, the friends hope that the weather
conditions may change and Mr.. Jenney

In all probability there is no person
in this vicinity that takes the interest
in the career of Louis Strange, as Mrs.
/ l.. j. Sawyer, who has been for years
friend of the father and mother of
this intrepid auto rider, or driver
which you will. His latest achieve
ments at Atlanta was something mar
vellous and as the press report the af-
fair che has reached the limit. y
On Monday, the 9Th, Mrs. j. H. An
drews entertained in honor of a double
birthday in her family, her own at Is
years and that of G. +. Andrews. her
son, at 80 years. Unfortunately the
later could not be present asimperatve
business made it necessary for him to
be in West Palm Beach on that date.
An elaborate dinner of many courses,
did credit to the maker thereof. Mrs.
G. E. Andrews, Misses Elizabeth and
Grace Andrews, Archdeacon and Mrs.
johnson, Mrs. McClannon and Mrs. C.
S. Schuyler, comprised the visitors at
the festive board. Mrs. Andrews was
the recipient of numerous gifts. Many
happy returns of the day were wished
for the hostess as the fleeing hours
sped on their way.
1t is with pleasure the announcement
is made of deserved promotion that has
befallen one of Waltons fair sons, which
went into effect April LIST, when X. V.

c. c. Wolfe, Superintendent of the
Florida Division of the Southern Ex-
press Company, and will necessitate
his visiting Miami. Knights Key, Ha
wanna, Cuba, Key West and Nassau on
the East, St. Petersburg, Sanford
Port Tampa, Fort Myers, Punta Gorda |
on the West, at stated intervals. Mr.. +.
Waters has been studying in Savannah
for some time, perfecting himself in
this line of work. A more competent
person for the position could not be .
found, while Superintendent Wolfe is
to be congratulated in his selection.
The few Waltonians that were able
to accept the hospitality of the Mid
Rivers Country Club at the formal
opening on Tuesday evening were we'll
repaid for their efforts in that direc.
ton. All speak in the most enthusiast
tic terms of the house, equipped with
all modern conveniences for pleasure
and hearty good will. the inside furnish
ings leaving nothing undone that will |
contribute the good cheer of those thar
will congregate within its portals. Nor
are outside games, tennis, golf, ball
and sports of like nature ignored. The
attendance at this gathering was some
what abbreviated by the mood in which
"Old Prob" launched forth in direct
strains, weeping as never before while
the music of the spheres thunder
and lightning helped to increase the
discomfort. Elegant refreshments had
been provided for large crowd, dane
ng was enjoyed to the st, aims of an
imported orchestra. The management
may rejoice at the pleasure afforded
heir guests, and the "wee sma" hours
arrived before the last fare wells were
spoken. This Club house has the adj
,antage over other organizations Of
ike kind by being situated as its name
lesignates between the Indian and ST
.ucie rivers making it easy of access
rom two points. That the many good
words of this community will go out to
wishing it imparrelled success in its
Undertaking. '''
