AMONG THE
CANDIDATES
OF INTER EST To
THE VOTERS AND
GENERAL .PU BLIC
"A Thoroughly Experienced Man, E.
H. Wentworth, for Circuit Clerk.

Mr.. E. H Wentworth, thorough
ly experienced and competent man
to hold the office to which he aspires,
announces today as candidate for
Circuit Clerk of Lincoln county.
When The Leader states he is COM
petent short recital of his official
record will bear out the assertion.
Mr.. Wentworth moved to Brook
haven from Franklin county where
he served in the same office he is
asking now of the voters, for two
full terms. He also filled out an un-
expired term of two years in Frank
lin.
Other public experience in official
positions has also added to his ef-
ficiency. He was member Of the
Brookhaven City Council for four
successive terms eight years in all
also acting as Mayor protein. A
term of two years as school trustee
in Brookhaven is also placed to his
credit.
Only recently Mr.. Wentworth gave
most efficient service as chief clerk
in the office of the local board of
Lincoln county.
There is no doubt but that the Of
fee will be in capable hands If Mr..
Wentworth is chosen by the voters,
and we ask for him fair and impair
tial consideration.

c. M. WEEKS HAD HIS
POCKET PICKED MONDAY

c. M. Weeks, president of the
Plant City Mercantile Company, is
getting along in years"-though yet
a comparatively young man In actiy-
ity. Notwithstanding this, he had
his pocket picked--by a crook-the
first time yesterday.
Mr.. Weeks was passenger on the
early morning train, and noticed that
as he entered the coach door at Lake.
land two or more young men APP
peared to be creating the condition OF
a jam. One of them was in kneel-
Ing posture, apparently peering under
a seat for, something, and at least
one other made it a point to push and
shove as Mr.. Weeks sought to pass
over the one in a kneeling posture.
1t occurred to the merchant that
this was a ruse, but despite his early
suspicious, one of them had already
removed Mr.. Weeks purse from his
pocket. 1t did not contain more than
50, in addition to several checks for
small amounts, but which, Of course,
will be worthless to the crook, as pay
ment can be stopped on them.
However, Mr.. Weeks does not feel
at all kindly toward these characters,
who made a hasty getaway. From
what Mr.. Weeks says, it will be ad-
visable for passengers to "sit steady
in the boat" when he is riding, for
there is no telling where the heel Of
his shoe will land should he come
across another person kneeling in the
passageway while he is seeking a
seat in a train.-Tampa Tribune.

MRS. b. +. keitnIey mas received

Your letter which was dated Octo

1t has been some time since I wrote
you, due to our company being on the
move for the past month. While NOV

impossible to keep up with ones cor

more often now that we are settled
and expect you to reciprocate.
It is great to be in permanent quar-
tiers. With the exception OF two
months spent in Rosters, Vosges,
France, we have not had permanent
quarters since arriving in France.
We are now in that part OF Ger
many Of which you have so often
read and at school studied. Our ex-
act location Is small town on tho
Rhine about fifteen kilometers north
of Coblenz-Eugers, Rheinist, Prdssie,
Germany. That portion of the Rhine
valley which have seen is very pic
turesque. You can gain some idea as 20
the scenery, ETC., by the picture post
cards which have mailed. There is
not much farming here in this dis
trict; everything is given over to
manufacturing interests in which tho
whole valley abounds. The people, Of
course, constitute the kind you al

I am trying to give you an idea as
to what conditions are over here
compared to home.

first snow of the season. So far we
have had very, little cold weather, but
expect quite d bit from now on.
Following the retreating Huns into

From what can gather the FIJI

every part Of the States. Don't think
the troops over here suffered much.
As for myself I am still in the very
