What might have been very Sc
rious accident was narrowly averted
Saturday morning when the trap in
which Mrs. II. g. EnOch, Mrs. &. b.
Senff and Mrs. Enoch's two children
were riding was run into by motor
car driven by w. P. Gordon, of this
city. The women and children had
Just turned into Main street from
Samuels avenue and were coming
towards town. Mr.. Gordon was
coming in the same direction from
the Winchester pike and attempted
to pass. In some way he lost con-
troll of his car and ran into the trap
tearing off two wheels and throwing
its occupants violently to the
ground. Mrs. Enoch and her child
rem escaped injury except for a few
cuts and bruises, but Mrs. Senff is
suffering from a badly wrenched
knee.

OUR CELEBRATION
! VERY SUCCESSFUL

Concluded from LIST page)
The boys in khaki say that they
like to come to Punta Gorda very
much, but on account of the dis
lance and the short leave OF ap-
sence, it makes it something OF a
hardship to them.
At night there was a dance IN
Hotel Punta Gorda, which both
soldiers and civilians much en-
joyed.
The stores did not do a great
deal Of extra business, but the
soft drink and refreshment places
were crowded all day.
Taking it all in all, it was q
great day for Punta Gorda and
one long to be remembered.

Our Tourists Appreciated It

Editor Herald The 22nd OF
Feby. will long be remembered by
the 300 tourists who enjoyed the
fish fry given by your citizens.
Quite frequently other towns that
have attempted stunts of this
character, have not scored a sue
cess on account of either being
short in food, poor cooking, or
lack Of variety Of other food than
fish. On all Of these points Punta
Gorda more than made good. In
quantity there was plenty and to
spare, in the cooking, the fish was
simply excellent; every one re-
marked "the delicious flavor. y
The chef of Delmonico can t beat
the colored cook who cooked the
fish.
The variety of food was more
than any one expected. All were
filed and happy. The only COM
plant was that waist bands were

The task of feeding and serving
that multitude was almost colos-
sal, but the ladies did the work
