FROM INJURIES RECEIVED
IN A RUNAWAY

Plant City, May 16-Berrien Platt,
an old and highly respected citizen
Of east Hillsborough county, died ON
Wednesday evening at the home Of
E. J. DeVane, in Plant City. Mr..
Platt was born Feb. 3, 1888, and
consequently was past his eightieth
year.
Mr.. Platt came to this portion Of
Hillsborough county in the year
iS46, and is perhaps the oldest citi-
zen in point of residence in this
vicinity or in the county.
lie was one of the earliest pio-
neers and had watched the country
grow up from wilderness. Mr..
Platt during most of his life and es-
pecially In the earlier days of his
life was stock man and accumu-
lated large fortune In cattle rails
ing. He also was largely interested
in real estate holdings, and in Or
ange growing. He planted one
grove near Plant City of forty acres
in solid grove. He had become quite
feeble from advancing years and was
his custom daily to drive to Plant
City and drive around the town and
visit places of business and meet ae
quaintances.
He drove somewhat spirited
horse and on Tuesday morning driv-
ing to town near the city cemetery
IN automobile was approaching and
the animal became frightened, SHE'D
outside the road into the ditch with
the buggy, and then took out across
an old field where it was very rough
and in doing that Mr.. Platt fell out
of the buggy and crippled himself
very severely, breaking the shoulder
bones and also the bones of one leg
and from this shock he never re-
covered, and died as aforesaid on last
evening.
Mr.. Platt was twice married, but
was a widower at the time of his
death. He leaves one son, Richard
Platt, and several daughters and
numerous grandchildren. He will be
buried at Mount Enon cemetery four
miles east of Plant City. He was a
member OF the Primitive Baptis1
church.
Mr.. Plat was we'll known hero
and the above account Of his death
will be read with regret.

SUNDAY SCHOOL
PICNIC WAS GREAT SUCCESS

The large crowd who took In the
Methodist Sunday school picnic to
Auburndale yesterday returned last
night tired out but reporting the
time of their lives. ..-,
The picnic was held at the club
house and every moment of the day
was takn up with the contests which
had been arranged. A dinner was
spread at the noon hour which was
indeed sumptuous spread.
In the spelling contest there was
great interest especially when 1t mar
rowed down to two contestants, Miss
Sarah Polk and Mrs. w. c. Norvell.
The latter held her own for a long
time, but Miss Polk finally proved
that there was one word she could
spell a little better than Mrs. Nor
veil and she was given the trophy
a piece Of cut glass.
Another contest which created
much interest was the bottle break
ing contest. Each participant was
blindfolded and turned around sew
eral times and then started on the
straight and narrow path leading to
bottle, placed about thirty feet
away, armed with a baseball bat
with which to break the bottle. Af-
ter a LARGE number OF attempts,
which were ludicrous in the ex-
treme. Mrs. Jager, nee Miss Clyde
Streater, proved the winner.
