Mr.. and Mrs. Richard Clarkson and

delightful trip up the Anclote yes
terday afternoon. They were charm
ed with the beautiful scenery which,
always lovely, is growing more so
with the coming of spring.

to Mr.. and Mrs. P. M. Boyd, at the
home Of Capt. and Mrs. S. E. Hope, a
fine boy, weighing eight pounds. The

Snakes and alcohol and C. C. Bar
mum. Some combination, But there is
no telling what Mr.. Barnum may do.
The idea of wasting perfectly good al
cohol to preserve snakes, when he
could have drunk the spirits and prob
ably have seen many more snakes!
Look in the window of the Noblit
Hardware store and weep.

Have you seen the skin of that six
foot rattlesnake in the Noblit Hard
ware Co.'s window, and it's head being
preserved in alcohol in big glass
jar? We are glad we didn't encoun-
ter this venomous creature in his ma
tive heath. Also have you looked over
the fine display of fishing tackle in the
same window? The Noblit Hardware
company handles one of the best
grades of tackle in the country, and
recommends it to you.
The Kissimmee Independent, news
paper which was started few months
ago in Kissimmee in opposition to the
old-established Valley Gazette, has
passed away. At the time the indie
pendent was launched we commented
on the fact that Kissimmee had about
as much use for two newspapers as a
cat had for two tails. Evidently the
hackers of the Independent tired of
putting up money, for it costs real
money to print a paper, and the use
less sheet passed away. That's the
way such things usually go.
Beautiful home, located on Spring
bayou; large grounds filled with fruit
trees which are bearing; also beauti-
full ornamental shrubbery and trees.
The price asked is very low. Inquire
at The Leader office. If.
