that is not done in South Florida, but

with Neatness and Despatch" the
all-star Metro production at the Royal
tonight, in which Francis Bushman
and Beverly Bayne are in the lead, is
real wholesome amusement crook
play without crime, a drama with
out villain. Exciting things hap
pen, and there is genuine love inter-
est throughout.
Saturday night negro attempted
to board a jitney at the sponge ex-
change. The drived objected, and a
lively row ensued, in which the negro
threw brick, striking the Greek in
the eye and inflicting painful in
jury. The driver was taken to Tampa
and placed in hospital. He will like
ly be out in day OF so, as it is re-
ported the injury was slight We are
informed that the negro has not been

A fishing party, consisting of Mr..
and Mrs. Provost, Mrs. Freeman, Mr.
Davis, Mr.. Vickers, of Port Richey,
and w. G. Worrell and Charley Brown,
of this city, chartered the diving boat
Angelica and went out twenty miles
beyond the lighthouse Saturday, re-
turning with 400 pounds of grouper
and grunt. Brown and "some Others"
we understand, suffered slight cases
of seasickness, but that furnished
sport for those who were unaffected.
The colored people are repainting
and renovating the room at 207 SAT-
ford avenue and viii use it as work
room for the colored auxiliary to the
Red Cross. The colored people are
taking much interest in this work.
Their men have gone to the front and
they realize that it is as much their
duty to help take care of them as it is
their privilege to be protected by
them. That is the right spirit. We
predict the colored women will do
lot of good work here.

F. M. Wharton. The Leader predict

Saturday Mr.. Wharton told us that
at about IL o'clock Friday night a
voice over the phone told him te come
down to his store and take his sack OF,
-four in. Mr.. Wharton says he was
glad to get the sack of flour returned
but that it certainly caused him lot
of trouble.

that he is leaving for "over there"
and wishes The Leader discontinued
until further notice. He says there is
nothing like reading ones home pa
per, and he "sure enjoyed it." He adds
that he will advise us when he gets
safely across. We learn that Abe has
figured out way of "lsilling em for
less,"' and he expects to kill two GeE
mans for the cost of one. Reducing
the cost is Abe's speciality. After re-
ducing the Huns to a number not dan

dry goods store and sell 'em Ameri-
can-made merchandise at "less than
COST" this being possible on account
of his having monopoly of the trade
of the German empire.
Mr.. A. M. Lowe, wife and two chill
dren arrived about noon after weeks
motor trip to the east coast. They
took in all the cities and towns along
the line, going by way of Orlando,
Sanford, New Smyrna, st. Augustine
to Jacksonville, also taking in many
places not exactly on the route. We.
met them in the meat market and told
them it was unpatriotic to eat meat,

when he gets shave he will look
