Mr.. and Mrs, George Neal, who on
ly recently sold their home on the
Crescent Lake front, moved into their
already engaged in clearing the land
for new grove on the west side of
the lakewood road, just back of his
old place.
Rev, and Mrs. ]. H, Hunsberger and
their young daughter, Miss Harriet,
left on the boat Monday morning for
their return to the north. Mr.. Huns
berger preached his farewell sermon
on Sunday morning, and this was fol-
lowed by the administration of the
Holy Communion. 1t was Mr.. Huns
berger's final service and the retir-
ing pastor was very much affected
when he said his farewells to those of
the congregation who fingered to bid
him good bye and God speed. His
resignation as pastor, a relationship
which he has held some two years,
was made public the Sunday previous.
1t was not unexpected, as many I'M
derstood that it was Mr.. Hunsbergers
purpose to resign at the time Of his
annual vacation. He is good man
and himself and family were generally
well liked All will hope that he will
soon secure a church where his talents
for pastoral work will be appreciated.
1t is understood that the family will
go to the Adirondack section of New
York. Several members Of the Pres
lbyterian congregation were at the
pier to see the pastor and family de-
Ipart.

mally high rates Of St. Petersburg

by deaths of non-resideDts - winter

necessity of following the directions.
Florida's Birth Rate.
There is no such check as the bur
ial permit upon the registration OF
births. and complete reports can only
be secured by ordaining and vigor'
ously enforcing early and accurate re
porting, as provided by the suggested
model ordinance.
IN the four large cities the rates
are as follows: Jacksonville Is, Tam

IL is the general experience that
there is greater difficulty in collect
ing till reports of births than OF

show that good collections can be had
even in small communities.

Burning Building.

Tampa.-Robert Parker, an lS-year-
old youth, played the role OF hero
when he ran from his home about
three miles north of the city to the
home of Mrs. Emma Hazard and res
cued Mrs. Hazard from the burning
house. Parker saw Mrs. Hazard S
house was on fire. When he got there
the woman, evidently, beWildered and
blinded by smoke, was dashing around
in the front room of the house. He
ran to the window and smashing 1t
in, grabbed Mrs. Hazzard and brought
her out She was unframed. She
had been awakened by the cracklin|
of the flames but was so bewildered
that she lost her presence Of mind,
and would have persisted but for Par,
ker's timely appearance.

power to act if they deem it advis-
able.
Each of the fremen of the city
will receive his annual salary of $40
on December 20, Councilman Ban
choff having made a successful
motion to that effect at the last
meeting of the city fathers.
1t will cost Lambertville the sum
of $1,795 to have its garbage
collected for the year 1915, the con-
tract having been awarded to Thomas
W. Mitchell, the present incumbent.
Mr.. Mitchell was the only bidder,
and his services have proven so
satisfactory that there was no quest
ion of renewal. Not only do his
men collect all the ashes and garb-
age set out for them, and without
handling the receptacles in a rough
manner, bnt they actually go back
after some of the garbage that has
been set out late, when they happen
to see it on later trips from other
sections.
Councilman Oblinger introduced
a resolution providing that 81 per
man be paid to the members of the
Citizens Band if they would march
through the principal streets on
Christmas Day and play some of
their popular airs. He also promised
that he would borrow two of Charlie
Tompkins' elephants, which are
spending the Winter in the Elk's
barn on Lambert street, and that
Mayor Samuel E. Morse would ride
one of the elephants. Messrs Oblinger
Banchoff and Holcombe comprise
the committee which is to arrange
for the music and possibly for
Mayor Morse's ride, also.

of $3.50 per week for each person,
despite protests from the township
and State Boards of Health.

Burroughs and A. H. Muhs each
gave in the same figures. The
West Amwell Township Board of
Health notified the city that the
people who were boarded within
