Fort Lauderdnle Sentinel
Speaking of bonding Dade county
to secure docks in Miami, Judge
Morley said be favored issuing
bonds for that purpose, but said
he was willing to make three
counties out of Dade, the Fort
Lauderdale end and the Home-
stead section, that he thought the
county large enough for three
counties. He believes the nearer
you bring the government to the
people the better. We believe in
the next ten years that Floaida
will have 100 counties and it will
be all the better for our people.

Dodson's Liver-Tone is vegetable
substitute for calomel that starts the
liver to work just as successfully as
calomel does, and hundreds of per-
sons have stopped using the power

stead. Calomel often shakes up the
liver too much, and brings on bad aft

to both children and grown-ups. Re-

Welcomed to Liberal

Wednesday evening, Rev. j, B.
Frisbie and family were given a
public welcome to Liberal and to
the Baptist church of which he is
the new pastor. Six ministers,
of the different churches sat on
the platform and five of them took
part in the services which gave
the new man his bearings in the
city. Rev. j. F. Moore of Mead,
welcomed him to the Baptist AS
sociation of this district. Mr.. j.
5. Nusz acted as chairman of the
meeting and it was snappy from
go to finish with songs, solos and
duets interspersed with some good
talks. Rev. Bolton of the Chris
tian church read the scripture and
Rev. Ward of the NJ. E. church
gave a splendid talk and touched
the key note to the situation when
he said all the denominations diff
fered on few minor points but
that their destinations were the
same through the grace of Jesus
Christ. That spirit grasped aud
held to firmly by the ministers of
this city will preach good many
into the church and start new
thoughts never dreamed before.
Rev. Frisbie replied to his well
corners in happy vein and made
it plain that he was here to bring
souls to Christ and with the back
ing of his members he is confident
he can do so. Rev. Holshouser
of the Presbyterian church and
Rev. 7. B. Paramore, of the M.
f. church also assisted in the SER
vices at the close of which the
congregation and members spent
a short time in getting acquainted
and meeting the new people in
formally.

by the five gallon oil can In llstless
position. The can works with a
pump but was not in good working

her mouth over the spout of the can

amount drank was too much to be
thrown of the system 10y an emetic.
u Is supposed that she thought she
was drinking from one OF the pipes
that lead from the well and since the
oil did not taste bad until one had
taken a breath it is reasoned that

quantity was enough to overcome
her. The little one lived about two
hours after drinking the oil and
died about nine o'clock Thursday
