formed as to the rapid development
all sections of the south are enjoying.

TWO BLUEJACkETs AND A
TRAVELLING MAN PLEADED
GUILTY BEFORE JUDGE E. D.
HEGos YESTERDAY MORNING
AND SENTENCE WAS PASSED.

J. ellis and P. E. Tidwell, the two
bluejackets, and c. E. Horne, the
travelling salesman, who were charged
with assaulting Alderman ]. E. Con-
cannon a week ago today, were given
a hearing before Judge E. D. Beggs,
of the court Of record, yesterday
morning and all Of them pleaded
guilty.
The two bluejackets were each SEN
fenced to pay a fine of $25 and costs
or serve two months at hard labor
for the county, while Horne was SEN
fenced to pay a fine of $35 and costs
or serve two months at hard labor
for the county.
The evidence showed that the travel
ing man was the one who kicked Mr..
Concannon while he was down, which
accounts for his receiving a heavier
sentence than the bluejackets.

cabinet officers, judges and public
men Of every degree. These friend

connected with these personages he
would recall for the entertainment Of
his many visitors.

sally known, before coming to Florida
had lived a stirring and varied life.
He was born in London, Eng. on the
9Th day of February, 1925, just seven
years later than his beloved sovereign,
Queen Victoria, for within he felt al
ways the most loyal devotion. AL
though a captain in the war between
the states, he chung to the title earned

badge of greater distinction. He en-
tered this service in 1914 and served
his noviciate at Parker's barracks,

business Of a florist, and for many
years supplied lovers with floral Of
ferings, brides with bouquets and
mourners with funeral wreathes. He
lived among his rosebushes, and there
they have lived a happy and peaceful
life, bringing up children to be the com

TICKET PRETTY SURE

West Hammond Expects
Election to Garry With
out Any Trouble.

On next Tuesday the people of West

tempt TO change the form of the gov
ernment of the village to that of a city

the second failed because the village
was not chartered and the outcome of
the third attempt is awaited with in
terest. 1.sr
While the sentiment seems to be in
favor of the city form of government.
on account of the increased efficiency.
it is understood that there is now some
opposition to the plan in the north
end on account of the fact that the
divekeepers there fear that it will be
harder TO manage the officials of the
city than it is to manage the members
of the board and the present village
officials.
The south side has the balance of
power. however and it is thought that
with what support can be secured on
the north side that the city ticket will
carry.
Miss Virginia Brooks is now commit
ted to the city form of government
and she is expected to use all of her
influence to get out the vote and carry
the election in favor of the city.
The element that is opposed to Miss
Brooks is likely to oppose the city
election for that reason. Between now
an the 18th 1t is expected that there
viii be considerable activity in West
Hammond
Miss Brooks has gained a lot of
pestige on account of the great reduc-
tion in the assessments which she has
effected. The people are convinced
when they find that Miss Brooks can
get results the way she has and it is
safe to say that If woman suffrage pre-
vailed in West Hammond that Miss
Brooks would be the first mayor Of
the new city.
