experienced fine weather throughout
the voyage around the Florida PENN
sula and up the south Atlantic coast.
Captain Jones said that he escaped
the hurricane by two days and that
he never had any real rough weather
on the trip.
The British steamer Lodorer. which
came into port Sunday evening from
Pensacola. Fla, also had a rough time

on the human system at the flrst
Presbyterian church last night. Dr.
Crothers declared that the use OF al

DR.. Crothers and Dr. Mason, who
have made a life study of the effect

she found he was deceiying her as,he

he is of common honesty, Then she
