Mass, arrived here this week for long
stay with relatives and friends.
Rev. S. Timothy Tice, D. D., lead
ing pastor in the A. M. E. Church of
Florida, died in Orlando last Friday and
was buried Monday at that place. He was
pastor of the A. NJ. E. Church at that
place. S. Timothy Tice was some years
ago pastor of the colored Methodist
church in Crescent City; by diligent
study, coupled with native ability, he
rose TO ranking place as pulpit orator
among the colored preachers OF the
state, and was some years ago honored
by having the degree of D. D. conferred
upon him by leading college of his de-
nomination.
Crescent City people will rejoice to
learn that Mr.. and Mrs. ]. c. Grimsley
have decided to return to Crescent City,
where they have home and grove
properties. They are now living at
Barlow. Mr.. Grimsley was here last
week to make arrangements for the
family return. His interest here need
his attention, and il was up to him to
sell out his business in Barlow or here,
and he decided to make sacrifice of the
latter. OF course-any man who has
grown to manhood and spent the large
part of his life in Crescent City could
never be content to put up with an inte-
rior Tor inferioD place.
Mr.. and Mrs. Coe D. Smith returned
from a weeks tour of the state in their
Hudson 20 horse power runabout last
Friday evening. Mr.. Smith states that
as result of that trip he has very diff
ferent idea of the roads of Florida than
when he started. They went to Tam
pa, and all the way the roads were gen.
orally good-much better than in some
of the bigger states north. Mr.. and Mrs.
Smith left here on their way south
about s O'Clock in the morning, and by
p. m. were at Kissimmee, where they
rested for the night-a distance of 1903
miles. Next day they made an easy run
TO Plant City, and on Sunday morning
ran into Tampa, where they spent sew
eral days at the DeSoto Hotel. On
their return trip they came via Barlow,
and made stops there and at Orlando,
DeLand and went over to Daytona.
Mr.. and Mrs Smith were so well pleased
with the success of this trip that they
have decided TO take others over the
state.
