Monday. They returned in the aft
ernoon expressing themselves much
pleased with the events OF the day.
Miss Lille Grant of Pensacola, who
has been spending several days here,
the guest Of Miss Hermina Kiss, re-
turned home last Thursday. Miss Her.
nina accompanied Miss Lille to be

Young people from the towns de-
! light to visit here now at the open
ing Of the Indian summer, that they
may roam through the magnolia
glades and It'll swamps, gathering
grapes, muscadines, chfnquapins and
red bugs. Joyous days-but how about
the nights?
Mr.. Reiger, truck farmer and pho
tographer, has returned to Mulat
While in the upper part of the county
taking pictures recently he was pois-
oned from eating canned corn. While
travelling he opened a can of cora
and ate half. of 1t for his noon lunch.
At night at his camp he ate the re-
mainder OF the corn, which he un-
thoughtedly had not removed from
the can. Ptomaine poison was the re-
suit of his error
James Tate Is on a visit to Mobile.
1t Is learned that he may prolong his
visit a couple of weeks.
Col. Todd paid Pensacola a visit
last Monday. 1t is superfiuous to say

The journal has time and again stated
that Col. Todd, living all alone, has
nobody to look after his premises
when he is away.
The tug Maggie, belonging to Sim
Otis, with a crew of five men, went
up to Yellow river last Friday after
timber, returning Sunday morning.
Hiram Hightower and Walter
O'Rouke, two youths of IL and 10
summers, spent last week in Pensa-
cola, guests of Ross Johnson. These
young men work here in the mill but
they have ambition to rise higher in
the scale of labor and are using every
effort to acquaint themselves with
those branches necessary in the study
of profession.
Misses Floress and India Tinsley
entertained a small party of friends
at social at the family residence on
last Tuesday night. Dancing was the
favorite pastime which held sway
until refreshments were served. Those
present were: Misses Maggie and
Minnie Brown, Leila Boudreaux,
Gladys Lane, India and F1oress Tins
ley, Messrs. Dick Lane, Jack Her
mann, Newton Magee, Hiram High
tower and Andrew Tinsley.
John Howell, the station agent here,
should have a rest from his Iabors Of
two or three weeks for he has for
fifteen long years kept diligently az
his post here hard at work, without
a days vacation. He has never asked
for a substitute for a few days, and
he never will, for his natural timidity
will prevent his SO doing; so the
Journal man, unsolicited by Howell,
states these facts that the loyal serv-
ices of a good man may be recog-
nized.
Mr.. A. H. Green. the genial gentle
manly head of the commissary here,
spent the day in Pensacola last Sun
day. He is generally fully dressed
and ready to take the Sunday train,
but upon this Sunday he was In the
BARRIERS chair and Charlie Sims had
shaved one side of Mr.. Green's face
and was strapping his razor to NOW
the other side when the locomotive,
200 yards away, blew for the station.
Mr.. Green, springing from the chair,
grabbed his collar, tie, coat and hat
and broke for the train, which he
barely caught On his rush to the
train he had looked at his watch ana
In showing 1t back into his fob pocket,
he inadvertently rammed 1t into his
trousers waistband. He had not en-
tered the moving train until 1t was on
the bayou trestle, only q few rods
from the station, and in striding from
the platform to the door of the car
the watch fell out the bottom of mis-
trousers and striking on the edge Of
the platform, rolled overheard into
the vastly deep" Possibly a shark
will swallow that watch and in after
years when the fish is caught, cut
open and the watch found, the general
impression will be that some POOR
man was gobbled up while gaily
sporting In the surf. Mr.. Green tied a
handkerchief on his jaws as If suffer
ing from toothache, until he reached
his home in the city, where he at
once, taking a racer, made both sides
of his face look alike.
An airship, OF what type Is un-
known. passed over Mulat laEt Thurs
day evening just after dark. When
first seen ii was thought to be an
aero1ite or meteor. The aerial trav-
eler was going in a northwesterly d.
rection at an altitude apparently or
about 500 feet, although he may have
have been much higher. The airship
moved with amazing rapidity and
was soon lost to view in the north
west heavens.
The ladies of Mulat will have
festival at the public school building
