CRESCENT CITY NEWS

r. Mr.. and Mrs. Rudolph R. Kinard of
hastings, with their four little chill
oreil, motored over from Hastings last
sunday and spent the day with Mr..
hlnard's parents.
Geo. W. Seaton, now in the regular
army and stationed for a brief time
IN Jacksonville, came up on Satur-
day and remained over till Sunday af-
ternoon with some of his friends here.
Mr. Seaton is looking well and pro-
fleSSes to enjoy the life of a soldier,
Tor which he is rapidly becoming sea-
soned.
Rev. Alfred Taylor and Mrs. Tay-
Tor are leaving this week for New
York, where they expect to remain un-
III October. They had intended to
make visit in south Florida, but
abandoned the trip for this time. Mr..
Taylor, being of English birth and
American by adoption, is very much
interested in the war and were he a
few years younger, he'd be one Am
erlcan to shoulder carbine and do
some nghtlng himself.
Carroll Kinard, more commonly
known as "Splint," was too young for
the draft, so he volunteered in the
First Florida regiment, National
Guard, and if all goes well he'll be
merged into the regular army of I'm
Gle Sam on the fifth of August.
"Splint" is but IS years old and there
was some objection at home, so he
/ joined first and told his parents af-
ter, putting it directly "up to" them
But the Kinards are patriots and
while they may not have raised their
boy to be solder, now that he's edg-
ing that way, they probably will not
interfere.
