church held service at Huntington on
Sunday afternoon last.
The Carlyle Club met with Mrs.
H. S. Springer on Thursday afternoon
of last week, and a most delightful
afternoon was the result.
w. F. Glynn made some heavy fruit
shipments last week, but the packing
house has again closed for brief
period.
Her F. Babers' packing house has
been running full time during the
past two weeks on fruit shipped to
him from points to the south.
There has been quite an epidemic
of lagrippe and other maladies due to
the weather during the past two
weeks, and a number of ladies have
been stricken.
X. M. White drove his big motor
car over to Palatka on Tuesday hav-
ing as guests for the trip, Mr.. and
Mrs. Darling, Mrs. Rhoads and Mrs.
w. D. Benham.
The young people especially, and
all, are glad to see Miss Josephine

long and serious illness, part of
which was spent in st. Luke's Hospi-
tai, Jacksonville.
The entertainment which was to
have been given last night at V. |. A.

Club, had to be postponed owing to
the indisposition of Miss Helen Til
linghast the promoter.
Mr.. and Mrs. H. S. Springer left
this week for their northern home IN
Pittman, N. j., much to the regret Of
all. Mr.. Springer's business connec-
lions in the north required his pres
ence, hence his leaving at least a
month earlier than he would have
wished.

Mrs. Rogers, who have been the
guests of Mrs. Frank Gautier's home
for the past two months, left on Sun
day afternoon for their home in Caz-
noria, N. Y. They were accompanied

were greatly interested in Miss Wells

Major and Mrs. ]. L. Burton with
Miss Jessie Burton and her guest,
Miss Wells of Tallahassee, and Mr.
II. s. Cove, motored over to Summer
Haven beach on Saturday, where they
eXpect to spend a week or more in
Major Burton's cottage. Mrs. Bur
+on has not been feeling well, and the
trip was taken in the hope of her ben
eft.
Miss Carrie Goddard of Worcester,
Mass. who will be pleasantly remem-
bered for her visit here three years
ago, when she was first the guest for
time in the family of the late Rev
DR.. Butler, then pastor of the Pres,
1bvterian church, arrived here last
week for an indefinite stay, and i.
with Mrs. ]. j. Horton. Miss Goddard
had been spending sevarel weeks al
ST. Petersburg before coming tt
Crescent City.
A real live elder of the "Church OF
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints,
which. being interpreted, spells Nor
mon, was in Crescent City last week
calling from door to door and leaving
literature designed to win US from oul
present faith, or faiths, and land u
Iamong the elect of the Lord at Sal
Lake. The elder was a young MAJ
with a meek and unctious cast o
countenance, who gave the impress
sion of having recently graduated
from a brick yard. He wore con
!ventional black, with Derby hat o
the vintage of 1906, and at times act
ed as if disappointed in not receiving
his usual amount of persecution a
the hands of these gentiles. He ask
ed one gentleman at whose house n
called if he thought he would be per
mitted to address the people in tn
street. He was advised rot to do s.
without first getting the consent o
the Mayor, "as it might caus
, trouble" The Mayor happened to b
out of town and was not seen. BIZ
this advice was a mistake; we are
broad-minded people, religiousl
speaking, and rarely do we get up
riot over Va strange religlon-an'
Mormonism is not strange here. Som
1G or IS years ago elders of tina
church gained a number of convert
in and about Crescent City, not man,
lof whom however, stayed converted
The times were not suspicious an
though Mormonism had many at
ltractive features such as permitting
i multiplicity of wives, it could no
hold out against the disciples of Dow
ieism who came along soon after an
disturbed the waters. This latest dis
: tribution of Mormon literature ma
again win some of our wabbllng re
iigio-unctious souls who have no plac
now to lay their heads.
