1t Is now possible for man, woman or
enid to walk across. 1t is hard to re-.
all2e that the elimination of hopes and
desires are completed and that it is
possible to explore the st. Lucie Gar
dens without much effort. Now that
way has opened for people to reach
the interior the outlook will be more
prepossessng, and as the season adj
vances this tract Of land so little known
for many years will reach out and hold
its own.
OF all energetic youngsters is young
Marshall Luce, son of Mr.. and Mrs. w.
w. Luce. The lad is young in years,
but not in ideas, and entered the Eden
school at the beginning of the present
term, and no matter what the weather,
the little chap is found in his place.
Some times he makes the two miles or
more by walking (making it four when
again at hOme), some times his bike"
carries him down and return; then
again he is helped to and from with the
family horse, 1t is much to the lad S
credit that his grit does not diminish in
quantity. Some day in the not distant
future he will be heard from as one
whom no obstacle can deter from reach
ing the goal to which he aspires.
Mr.. and Mrs. George Miller, former
~ of Pittsburg, but now of Walton,
arrived on the early train Friday morn
lug. Mr.. Miller is the recent purchas-
err of the Jennings cottage, better
known as the Walton Country Club. 1t
is understood that Mr.. Miller will aban-
don the old structure and build some
thing worth while. The ground is suf-
ficiently large to admit of something
out of the ordinary in architecture.

well built wharf are to be seen and

Ter are friendly and social in their
courtesy to the old residents, and in the
short time since their arrival here made
many friends, and from all appear

and until their home is completed they
NAV be found at the Colony Home.
