Mr.. and Mrs. Howard Rowton have
returned from their honeymoon trip
down the east coast, and their friends
who are many made their arrival IN
teresting in order to make up for any
seeming lack of interest in their de-
parture. Big reception on Monday

W. P. Bogart, the contractor, has
been engaged to remodel the tower
of the First Baptist church. The
tower pointed heavenwa1 alright,
but Mr.. Bogart was called in to set
it and make sure against any posi-
bic wabbling. The fact that Mr.. b.

Dr. Joseph Y. Porter, State Health
officer, spent Tuesday in the city and
was much of his time in the company
of DR.. E. W. Warren and President
+. J. Fearnside. of the State Board Of

famous of American Health officers,

pressed by the people of Florida, "he
gets thar just the same"
L. C. Stephens who for several
years past has been catering to the
household wants of the people from a
small store in the west end has had
his grocery enlarged to meet the de-

Stephens is one of the most energetic
grocers in all Florida; if he hasn't
what you want he gets it quick. But
he generally has every thing that a
well-regulated family desires and
knowing this the people are trading
with him more and more. Since Mr..
Stephens quit fooling with politics he
has made the wants of his customers
his first care: hence the need of his
enlarged quarters.
