UNEXPECTED DEATH
OF ESTIMABLE LADY

Fort Pierce was shocked Wednesday
to hear of the death of Mrs. Charlotte
A, Horton, which occurred at the home
of her daughter, Mrs. E. H. Williams,
at Melbourne. early that morning, death
resulting from septicaemia, following
an attack of tonsilitis.
Mrs. Horton was born at Twin Noun
tain, N. H., May 18th, 1858; was
married to Montraville P. Horton, Nov.
8, 1863, and moved to Florida in 1880,
locating first at Orange City and later
in Brevard county. She leaves five
children to mourn her loss, viz: Me 'srs.
Charles M. and Frank P. Horton and
Mrs. w. R. Jackson. of Fort Pierce,
and Mrs. E. H. Williams and Miss
Viola Horton, of Melbourne, all of
whom were at her bedside except her
eldest son, Charles M. Horton, who,
with his family, was at Clayton, Ga. /,
in search of restoration of his health,
which has been on a gradual decline
since the death of his eldest daughter,
Miss Sibyl Horton, which only occurred
eight weeks ago, in st. Augustine.
The entire family, with practically the
population of Melbourne, was present
at the funeral which occurred in Ever
green cemetery, Melbourne, yesterday
morning, and was one of the most sad
occurrences of that kind that has taken
place in that town in years.
Mrs. Charlotte A. Horton has been a
most earnest and devout Christian from
early childhood, and by her lovable,
motherly character has endeared her
self to the public in every community
in which she has lived. Although never
strong, physically, she has always been
a devoted worker in the church OF
which she was a member; a help to all
in times of trouble or sickness, and
many there are who have been helped
and cheered by her as they saw Their
loved ones passing from them, never
to return. She has been a mother to
the motherless, providing homes fol
such for months at lime, until Other

CUBAN PINEAPPLE
MOVEMENT INCREASE

The Havana Post of July29, 1909, says
Despite the fact that the pine ship
ments ended much earlier this season
than in previous years, the million crate
mark was reached, which means all
increase over the expectations of any
previous year of about 269, 04O crates.
The actual number of crates shipped
to the United States which is Cuba s
market for pineapples, during the pres
ent season up to Sunday, July 18th, was
1924, $50 crates against 965, $50 in 1908
These shipments were sent to different
parts of the United States. Exporta.
lions were subdivided as follows: Ward
Line to New York 1886, 480 crates against
1872, 900 in 1908; Munson Line to Mobile
POI, $50 crates against POP, $50 in 1908;
Morgan Line to New Orleans Ill 1850
crates against 4O,79O in 1908. There
were also shipped by the Peninsular &
Occidental Line 70, 800 crates, the first
shipments taken by that route, the ex-
pertinent being a success. In the dis
tribution of shipments the Morgan Line
shows mark increase due to the fact
that the line maintained weekly SER
vice during this season instead of a ten
day service the year before"

The principal imports are American
soldiers, arms and ammunition, beer and
tobacco The principal exports are
homesick soldiers and wooden over
coats. Malaria fever is much in evil
dence on many parts of the islands.
The island of Mindona is the largest
in the group and is noted for its num-
erous lakes and swamps. Lance is the
largest lake, it is situated in west CEN
trail parts and is twenty eight hundred
feet above the sea level. Lance is
disliked by every soldier who ever
crossed it to make hike after hostile
Moros through the rice paddles which
surround it. The islands are kept in
communication, substituting the mos
quitoes in the place of carrier pigeons,
as the mosquito is larger and more
able to stand the hike.
The chief dress of the Moro is rag
resembling gunny sack with the end
cut out, and is gathered and tied around
the waist. The children under the age
of twelve wait until the following year
for their clothes. On an average the
different tribes of the island, know
half as much as government mule.
The towns consist of shacks full of
filth, mosquitoes, flies and bed bugs.

native drink is beno, consisting of con-
centrated tranquilo cactus juice,

on his stand In favor OF placing elevator

Of Detroit OF from $4,000 to $4,000
per year. Every city In the state can

in evidence. Saturday morning. In the
suit brought by Ernest 5. Pettvpiece
for a divorce from his wife. Ethel
Belle. The case was heard in Judge

er until September. 1908. Theu Err
est made discovery that panied MIN
deeply. He found letters. which he
said were written TO Mrs. Pett,piece
by Reuben w. Allies. a Grand Rapids
travelling salesman. Pettypiece biam-
ed Allies for the breaking up or mis-
home.
Here are some extracts from the
mushy letters Reuben wrote:
Your clever and most welcome
post card bequeathed on me the
greatest happiness the human soul
can know. How i wish you were
here that could enfoid you to
my heart. With tenderest love
and 1000 kisses 20 you,
Upon arriving yesterday | found
your card imploriag me TO come
and take you away from every
body. And, 10. and behold. about
IL o'clock found my faith re-
warded by the dearest, sweetest
letter telling me OF that sweet
love and affection | so intensely
love.
Later Reuben wrote: You say you
will surprise me some times and meet
me when | do not expect you. | as
sure YOU that 1t will be a happy sur
prise in store for me, and i nope II
comes true"
In another letter Reuben fairly bub-
bled over in his ecstacy, ending a par
ticularly gushing note with the line
"Here is a thousand kisses and fond
embrace. I care for no one, Ethel, but
YOU"
All of the 90 letters fairly oozed
love and Judge Hosmer chuckled az
he read them.
The husband was granted decree.
