Work on the Crescent Store
basement was started in earnest
last Tuesday morning. T b e
ground being little frozen it was
decided to do a little blasting to
start with which brought great
results, in fact some thought for
a while that the town was being
attacked by the Huns. Sammy
Smart, the coal miner had charge
of the blasting and seems like
put in too big a charge, as when
it was touched off it threw large
chunk of frozen dirt clear over
onto the roof of the postoffice
building hundred feet away,
which went right through both
roof and ceiling rather upsetting
things. Miss Englehart was alone
at the postoffice at the time, and
she is said to have beat it out the
back door at the rate of 40 miles
p er. Fortunately no on e
was hurt and no serious damage
done, with the exception of the
hole through the roof. The Fox
residence on theme xt lot was also
damaged somewhat. especially in
side, having knocked done valu-
able clock and upsetting many
other things.

gun, revolver, pistol, cutlass, sword,
dagger, or dirk, must within sc
days make affidavit of such own

pose or object for having it in his
possession, is the substance of a
law placed on the statute books by
the legislative assembly at the
special session last month.
In submitting a description of
the weapon in his possession, the
owner thereof must also give a
description of himself.
The report must be made to
the local deputy sheriff by March
10th. Registration blanks may be
had from any of the local attorneys,
or deputy Johnson. One of the
most important things is to bring
the manufacturers number of
your firearm. This is absolutely
necessary and by bringing it when
you come to town, will perhaps
save you an extra trip
The law which is an emergency
act applies to all residents of the
county, whether they reside in
city, town or rural sections.
Particularly stringent regula-
tons are provided for the use of
firearms in the future, and before
they may be purchased a permit

must make a report on all sales,

pom and the person buying it.

leave the latter part of this week for
DeLand where he will make his future
home. Mr.. Lawrence came to Tarpon
Springs over a year ago after cores
ponde.lre with The Leader and he has
been well pleased here. Being a man
who cannot stand the direct rays of
the sun he has been seeking to buy a
home here which was enshrouded in
shade, but has been unable to do this.
He visited DeLand which is about the
prettiest city in the state and there
he found ideal conditions to his way of
thinking. The streets are lined with
huge shade trees which were planted
there years and years ago and Mr..
Lawrence has made arrangements to
make this city his future home. He
thinks great deal of Tarpon Springs

his arrival here. We are losing a,
mighty good citizens and an excellent
family in the departure of the Lawr-
ences. They have made many warm
friends here.
