BELLEVIEW

Belleview, Dec. 15.-Mrs. Abbie c.
Morrow Brown and Mrs. ManvilIe A.
Dudley returned last Monday from
jacksonville, where they have been for
the past week attending a church con-
vention.
Mr.. j. o. Beatty, manager of Hotel

Mr. Beauford Hopper's brother
from California arrived in town last
! Tuesday and we understand that it is

west of town.
Mr.. S. H. Driggers who has been
stopping at Hotel Marion for the past
week, left for points in South Florida
last Sunday.
Mrs. Joseph Millsom came up from

Mr.. and Mrs Joe Flanagan have ar
rived from Brooklyn, N. Y, and are
i stopping in town until such time as
i the Rothschilds vacate the Ullman

and it is expected that they will build

Mr.. and Mrs. Robert L. Sumner
left on the night train last Tuesday
for Jacksonville, where they will take
the East Coast train for Melbourne.
At that station they will plunge into
the wilds of that part of Florida for
almost forty miles, due west, bring
ing them out in the famous Kissim-
NEE valley. Mr.. Summers boyhood
home is there. They will be joined by
other members of the Sumner family
and will make it a sort of a Sumner
reunion and grand hunting party, in
this one of the richest game sections
of this state or in the United States.
Here in this Kissimmee valley the
deer travel in droves, and at times
the fight of the wild turkey can be
compared as to black cloud scudding
across the skies. Black bear are
plentiful and quail are almost as COM
mon IS chickens in the barnyard. The
streams that flow through and across
this wonderful valley abound in game
fish and it is but the work of few
moments to land enough of the finny
tribe on the banks to crafty the ap-
petite of large hunting party. Into
the midst of this hunters paradise
Mr.. Sumner is plunging with all of
the frantic zeal of child just out of
school, armed with one of the latest
types of pneumatic, automatic gaso-
line guns that spreads death and de-
struction to any game that finds it
self in front of its twelve gauge bore.
While fishing and hunting in this Sec
ton the party will gradually work
their way westward and move on over
to Kissimmee, which in the early days
was their postoffice address although
they lived sixty miles to the eastward
In those days they did not get their
mail every day. After visiting in
Kissimmee the party will make their
way to Boyett in Hillsborough county
where Mr.. Summers father is engaged
extensively in farming and stock
raising and when Christmas is over
and nothing but lingering memory
Mr.. and Mrs. Summer with the baby
will HE them back to Belleview where
he will resume his duties as the mos
popular and efficient depot agent thai
Belleview has ever had.
