in the spring time to invite his country

Courtesy on both sides compels an occa-
slonal acceptance of such unsea son Bile in
I vitations. In the case Of the Confirmed

Moves Into New Home,

Judge NJ. E. Norfleet has moved in- to his handsome new home at Stuart Springs, which he purchased some- time ago. He informed Times man that the house was not quite complet- ed, but far enough along so that himself and family could be quite comfortable, and that the workmen are rushing Il to completion We congratulate him. This is one of the loyliest spots on earth and is an ideal place for summer home or health resort, hotel, etc. Some day, when it becomes very valuable an expensive piece of property, the people of this community will just about wake up to find what fearful mistake they have made by not buying and holding this property for a public park and resort.
