INTERLACHEN ITEMS.

On Friday last, Prof. Jos. Stock and
wife met with sad bereavement in the
death of their little son, an infant some
fifteen months of age. The illness of
the child was brief, and all that human
love and skill could do failed to save the
little life, which passed out into the
Great Beyond in the early hours of Fri
day morning. The burial service was
neld that afternoon, from the home OF
Prof. Stock, and in spite of the stormy
weather, large number of friends
gathered to assist in the last rites. Rev.
S. ]. Townsend conducted the service,
assisted by the girl choir of the Congre-
gational church. The grief stricken
parents have the heartfelt sympathy OF
everyone in their time of sorrow and
trial.
Rev. S. ]. Townsend went, as usual,
to fill his appointment at Grove Park
last Sunday, returning Monday, and the
Congregational church had no preach
ing service on Sunday. Rev. Collier
held services in the M. E. church, as
usual.
Rev. ]. L. Jordan, of Biloxi, Miss,
will remain here several weeks, as a
guest of his daughter, Mrs. w. B. Young,
and son, Mr.. w. Jordan.
A large party of young merry makers
from our town descended upon Mann
vile on Monday evening, making head.
quarters at the home of Mrs. H. T..
Mann, and from all reports they had a
most hilarious time. Our young people
are not affected by the Summer dull
ness" in the least.
Mrs. Eva Corthell has returned to
Jacksonville, after few days here look
ing after her property interests.
Mr.. Ed Clingensmith, accompanied by
w. B. Eiler, both of Findlay, Ohio,
stopped over here on the way north for
brief visit to the Mariners Lake colo
ny, among whose hospitable people Mr..
Clingensmith and his wife spent the
winter two years since.
Mr.. w. F. Phelps, of Minneapolis,
Mimi, registered at the Lake View for
his large party of sight seers and land
seekers who were here the first days of
this week.
A much needed and greatly appre-
ciated improvement to the cemetery is
the concrete pavilion now in process of
construction. This structure will be not
only great convenience, but an orna-
ment to the cemetery. Small markers
of concrete have already been placed in
position, defining the boundaries of
lots and alleys, and the driveways are
being clayed.

Porter's Peculiar Strength.

Old man Porter, the county pauper
who was several weeks ago incarcerated
in the county Jail charged with the mur-
der of the negro GadSden, Jail truSty
who had been deputized to wait on him,
has been granted special privilege and
one not usual to prisoners charged with
a capital offenSe.
This old Scoundrel, now in the neigh
borhood of so years of age, is without
doubt the fouleSt smelling old rcprobate
remaining unhung. A glue factory in
active eruption is like unto altar of
roses in comparison. Modification
seems 10 have set in throughout all his
anatomy except, perhaps, his diSposi-
ton, and that is too mean and active for
the death germs to find lodgment.
So awful was the stencil which this
man produced in the Jail that the negro
prisoners turned sick and begged the
privilege of hanging their noses through
the outside window grating. Strong
men among them were seen TO weep.
Their entreatieS TO the sheriff for some
sort of relief were pitiful.
AT the last meeting Of the board of
county commissioners, Deputy Sheriff
Pete Hagan appeared before the board
and in as chaSte and delicate language
as he could command, explained the
odor. "WordS," he said, "were made
quate TO convey an idea-it had TO be
tasted to be appreciated" He said the
odor was causing sort of corroding
substance to gather on the iron work
and that the stone tagging was eXud-
ing slime. He asked the members of
the board to come up to the Jail and in
hale an inch or two of the peculiar at
moSphere, but the commissioners
seemed to be quite willing to take Mr..
| Hagan'S word. "Some of u.s." said
Commissioner Alvers, shave whiSkerS,
and the best medical authorities have
asserted that while these have an un-
doubted artistic value in facial adorn-
ment, and great vote getting power in
our rural districts, they may become, in
the hands of the careless, dangerous as
conveyerS of germs and odoTS. He
thought too much of himself, his fami-
ly and his constituents to take the risk. "
AT Mr.. Hagan's request the sheriff was
allowed to fix up an old out house in
the Jail yard in which TO encase Porter,
and he has since been removed from
the Jail. Since his removal the Jail has
been thoroughly scrubbed, aired and
disinfected, and a more cheerful, con-
tented look is coming into the faces of
the negro prisoners; their appetites are
returning and life of innoxious deSue-
tude again begins TO have its allure
mentS.

His Downfall

He was good In mathematics
And I've heard his fellows praise
Wondrous mental acrobatics
He'd performed In other days;
He was master of a knowledge
That is given unto few,
Was the idol of the college
Where he'd gathered what he knew.
He long held a good position
Whe no one had thought that he
Furnished rea asons for suspicion
OF his inability;
He was envfed much by many
And he never sought to shirk.
1t was said there wasn't any
Problem that he could not work.
But his end was sad, yes. shocking,
For he met his Waterloo
When dress making bills came flock
ing,
AS they're very sure to do.
Now his days are passed in CRYING
Let me stretch my little hoardp,
For balance he is trying
In the psychopathic ward.
