the French metropolis.

His scheme involves the widening of
many streets. the destruction of I'M

their places of model houses to be paid
for in part out Of S40,000,OO0 already
appropriated for this purpose by the
municipal council the limiting of the

and the laying out of forty-seven ad-

than London has,

his proposal, also involves the develop

be a sudden acquisition of space after
the fortitications have been destroyed.
A large appropriation has already been
made to wipe out these fortitications,

At present there are nearly 2OO IN

on the decline.
The weather at Jacksonville
was delightful and flowers were
in bloom outdoors. The parks
were full of people each day, en-,
joying the sunshine.
We left Jacksonville at $50 a.
m. for Atlanta, where we should
have arrived at 8 :OO, but it was
10 100 pm. instead. A snow
storm caught us and the engine
went dead" some miles out
from Macon. We had a big snow
ball, if it was the Sunny South.
When we finally got to Atlanta it
looked very wintry. We left the
next day for C Chattanooga and the
further we went the less snow
we saw. We went up on Look
out Mountain on the new car line
established last fall. This takes
you up and over about eight miles
of the mountain and gives the

this trip more interesting since

we came over the route taken by

The OtwelIs, in Early
Lewisburg History.
BY ISAAC KAY, M. D.
Lewisburg LEADER

In taking up the present Feb
ruary number of the Ohio Stat
Medical Journal, l see a state
ment that my once young friend
DIR. Curtis William Otwell, of In
dependence, Kansas. died in thai
city on January 8. 1914. When.
ever l see anything, either di-
rectly or indirectly, pertaining to
events or persons once identified
with the early history of Lewis
burg, / feel like making a note
of it.
The above named DR.. Curtis
William Otwell was at one time,
together with his parents, a res
ident of Lewisburg, and l knew
the family well. During the first
term of my uncle. DR.. William B.
Gray's residence in that town, he
had, at different times, two able
and experienced physicians in
partnership with him; namely,
DR.. George W. Edgerle, origin
ally of New England and later
from western New York, a man
of suasive manners and impress
sive personal appearance, who
op Grated in the aforesaid part
nership in Lewisburg during the
years 1914 and 1845.
DR.. Gray's next partner in the
practice of medicine was that of
an old friend of his from Gull
ford, N. c., DR.. Curtis Otwell, a
gentleman of education and med
ical skill, who filled the position
of partner in Lewisburg during
the years 1916, 1847 and 1848. a
little more than three years and
a half. During that time I found
DR.. OtWell to be one Of the most
interesting and companionable of
men, adapting himself to persons
of all ages. Among the many
instances illustrative of his char
acter, I remember the fact that
we had just taken into our lib
rary the great new medical work
by the eminent DR.. Thomas Wat
son of London, then very recent
ly published. DR.. Otwell became
intensely interested in this ad-
mirable book, on the theory and
practice Of medicine, and soon
proposed that he and I should
each read alternate chapters of
the book aloud one to the other.
In this exercise during our 9TH
erwise leisure time we spent ma
ny weeks and thus had an ex-
ceedingly pleasant and profitable
occasion of it.
DR.. Otwell's family then con-
sisted of his wife, Mrs. Eunice
Otwell, four daughters, Nancy,
Ellen, Jemima and Eunice, Jr.,
and four sons, Emlen, Barton,
Curtis William and Eberle Otwell.
Barton was named after his fa-
theirs distinguished friend and
medical teacher, DR.. w. P. c..
Barton, of Philadelphia. the ac-
complished Professor of Botany
and Materia Medica in the Jeffer-
son Medical College; and the son,
Eberle Otwell, was named aftel
the almost equally distinguished
medical teacher in the same in

| ing about, visiting familiar scenes
and noting Improvements, which
were many.
| Out on Riverside, and beyond,
it has been built up wonderfully,
and Jacksonville is the growing
place of Florida.
In company with Mr.. Wolfe,
who has charge Of the city mis-
sions, we visited the city Jail.
We took a great load of maga-
zines and papers and they were
wild to get hold of them. The
sanitary conditions are the worst
we ever saw. They are mostly
sixty or nlnety-day prisoners,
but there were two in the death
cells. Mr.. Wolfe visited these,
talked and prayed with them.
One of them hopefully spoke of a
new trial, but sentence had al
ready been passed. We saw the
death trap where the fatal drop
is taken. There were quite a
number of colored women, most
of the prisoners being colored.
We saw their supper doled out to
them. One negro carried a pail
of blackstrap molasses, another a
basket of bread; a bell rang and
a wicket was raised; a prisoner
thrust a tin pan through, was
given about a half pint of molas-
ses, half a loaf of bread; the bread
cutter counted one, and the next
one was served, and that was all
they had to eat.
Six of us went to Pablo Beach
for the day, which was as near a
perfect day as could be. The sky
was such a clear, brilliant blue,
and the ocean was in a pleasant
mood, also. For miles we could
see the clear, green waves roll
ing in and breaking in a line of
white foam. We built a beach
fire and cooked our dinner, and
you may imagine that our appe-
tites were equal to the occasion.
We, some of us, tried wadlng,
also. A lady who went with us
took some snapshots of the par
ty that would be very amusing
to those who know the people in
them.
On Sunday afternoon an auto
truck took a large party, in care
of Mr.. Wolfe, as before, about
six miles to the city farm for
prisoners. There were fiftyfive
men, about two-thirds of whom
were negroes, two white girls.
dope fiends and several negro
women. With one or two ex.
ceptions, the most of the prison
ers were Of a rather low. ignor.
