The ladies of the Baptist church
held pure food sale last Saturday
and the food found a ready sale.
These sales will be held every Sat
urday until further notice and will be
a boon to many good housewife who
would like to escape the cooking or
deal for one day at least. The food
is "out-of-sight" That is to say it
is so good that it is soon put out of
sight even in the best regulated fami-
lies. Thre are some excellent cooks
affiliating with the Baptist church, so
good that they almost persuade one to
become Baptist. Remember this
sale. Bread, pies, cakes, doughnuts
and baked beans, a la Bawston, be-
sides other articles of nourishment too
numerous to mention.
At the meeting of the board of

elected vice president, C. E. Gutter
idge secretary and H. F. Pixton,
treasurer. All by reclamation. The
matter of securing deeds to the right
of way for new and deeper and
straighter channel through Dunn's
creek was taken up and it seems like
ly now that an understanding has
been reached that will soon enable
the government to proceed with the
work. For this work $4,000 has
already been appropriated. The
board also elected delegates to the
| Waterways convention in Palatka.

The town suffered disgrace last
Saturday evening by the boystrout
profanity of a drunken individual
named Herbert, who made himself
conspicuous on Central avenue in the
business center of the place. His
language was not the language of s
man of these parts; he was one o.
our new corners, and he was taught {
lesson which it is to be hoped sanl
deep enough to do him good. While
he was sitting in front of the mea
market in his buggy, cursing and yell
ing, w. P. Allen stepped up to hin
and asked him to desist as there wer
ladies near. This kindly admonitiol
the drunken brute resented. H
struck Mr.. Allen, who struck hin
back. Then the man got out OF hi
buggy and came at Mr.. Allen wit
an open knife. Mr.. Allen backe
away, going around the buggy two o
three times and keeping out of tn
mans reach, and all of the time warn
ing him that if he approached to
near he would get hurt. The man di
not need the warning; he approache
too near Will Allen, who lifted
' piece of stove wood and hit him we,
over the head. The blow dropped hil
. stunned, but he recovered and fe
again. Then he got on his feet an
was taken forcibly away. Herbel
: was later arrested, as so also wa
Allen, though why Allen should hav
been included it is hard to understand
he was simply doing his duty in az
