that it was the best attendance that
he Lad had at any church in
this distric.; but he reported that all
the churches in the district were in
fine condition. The Punta Gorda

RAY PAYNE here TO
OVERSEE WORK ON
hotel PUN IA GORDA
Contracts for Improving Big Hotel
Let and Work Begun--Formal
Opening January First

Ray Payne, owner and manager of
the big tourist inn, Hotel Punta Cor
da. arrived from Block Island, Z. l..
Monday at noon, and forthwith be-
gan making preparations for the for
NAL opening, which is to take place
during the 1rSt week in January.
He has already engaged painters and
plumbers to begin Immediately the
work of preparation. The outside of
the big building will be adorned with
an attractive coat of paint, which
work will require the services of a
large force of men for month,
while another force will be engaged
installing baths and sewer connec-
tions in all the rooms of the west
wing. In a word, the hotel, both in
side and out, will be put in excellent
order and make attractive and thor
ough comfortable in ample time
for the opening.
Several wealthy families of New
York and Philadelphia have already
engaged rooms and will arrive De-
lily style until the formal opening in
January. The prospects are that by
that time, every room will have been
engaged, with the result that the
hotel will enjoy a season of capacity
patti onage. Manager Payne is well
known as a hotel man of superior
ability and wide popularity; and his
reputation in these particulars is sure
to attract all the patronage that he
can accommodate. Under his man
agement, the hotel in past seasons
has proved a valuable asset to the
town, and it will be still more valu-
able this season.
On his way here, Mr.. Payne heard
a great deal of talk, all to the effect
that Florida would be over-run this
winter with visitors from abroad,
whose accommodation would tax to
the utmost the housing facilities of
the state. Indeed, he said that he
was told that some towns were al
ready filled to overfowing with win
ter visitors. He mentioned Orlando
in particular, where it is even now
very difficult to find a vacant room.
He was greatly gratitied, he said,
at the progress being made on the
golf course, the completion of which
will prove a strong card to attract
a class of wealthy tourists, who are
golf enthusiasts and come to Florida
not only because of its incompatible
elm ate, but because this very climate
in winter enables them to enjoy their
favorite outdoor game. Frank q.
Brown, he said had promised to con-
tribute an elegant silver cup to be
presented to the winner of the first
tournament played on the Punta |
Gorda golf course. This should |
prove big incentive to the devotees
of the game. .,
In concluding the interview, Mr. +
Payne asked the reporter to express
his sincere thanks to the people of
Punta Gorda for the cordial moral
and material support which they have
given him in the past and to say that
he will continue to do everything in
his power to attract attention to
Punta Gorda and aid in making it,
as it deserves to be, one of the liVeli-
est and most prosperous towns in
Florida |

DIFFICULT WORK ON
PUNTA GORDA GOLF
COURSE IS FINISHED
All Clearing, Grabbing and Flowing
Is Done-Many Difficulties Best
the Undertaking.

In spite of the many difficulties
which have beset the undertaking,
the Punta Gorda golf course has now
reached point nearing completion,
practically all Of the really difficult
work having been finished more than
week ago.
There was some delay in starting
the work, which was begun at about
the time the heavy summer rains aet
in; labor of any kind was hard to get
and it was necessary to pay high
wages to secure sufficient hands to
keep things moving. After begin
ming the work of clearing it was
found that this was going to be a
much harder task than was antici-
pated. Hundreds of tons of palmet-
20 and scrub were grubbed, piled and
mostly disposed of and 500 pine
trees, mostly large ones, were cut
down and the stumpS blasted or pull
ed out. All of this big undertaking
was accomplished under the trying
circumstances imposed by the season
during which the work was. done, but
the course is now all plowed, harrow
ed and ready 10 be planted and level
ed. A number of greens were plant
ed several weeks ago and the grass
is growing at a lively rate.
According to those who know the
game, Punta Gorda's course will be
one of the sportiest in this section of
Florida; one that will offer the ex-
pert an opportunity to exercise his
skill, and when circumstances de-
mand and permit it may be lengthen-
ed to Is holes, thus adding to its at
tractiveness to that class of golfer.
While it will be by no means in prime
the course will be in shape
to permit playing by the first of Jan
uary, it is said.
Lying between the two public
roads and close to the railroad, its
location Offers splendid opportunities
for advertising, and advantage will
be taken of this opportunity by the
erection of natural stone arches bear
ing the words "Punta Gorda Country
Club" These arches will be erected
at each entrance on the public high
Ways and will be within view of
everyone who passes either in train
or auto.
Up to October 10th a total of
$7,026.5 SO had been paid in on stock
all of which except
S73.O1 has been paid out and the
club owed bills to the amount of
81, ,019.76. Following is a detailed
statement of the expenses paid up to
the date mentioned, not including
hills outstanding.

Bilyew added another page to tragic
history by shooting himself with a
shotgun.
Mrs. A. .Lockhart, an estimable
Lady,, committed suicide by drowning
a short distance above the mouth of
the creek.
On the opposite side of the river, in
Lewis county, KY, almost in sight,
was the battle between the celebrated
Underwood gang and Hyram Warder,
sheriff of Lewis county, and his dep
uties in which fight Deputy VIM. Rug
giles was killed and another of the
posse, Deputy Allen Watkins, was
wounded Watkins recovered and
went to Casey county, where he was
afterward killed in fight with some
ruffiians. It was onl va short distance
from this battle with the Underwoods
that a man named Kennard brutally
murdered a peaceful family of ne
groes.
The band of desperate robbers who
infested this locality in pioneer times
had their rendezvous in a cave a few
miles back from the river, which to
this day is pointed out as an item of
interest to passing tourists.
Graham's Station, often mentioned
in the pioneer history of Ohio and
Kentucky, was located in plain view of
the mouth Of Brush Creek as a point
Of observation where the movements
OF Indians could be noted as they
crossed to the Kentucky side. The
mouth Of Brush Creek was a noted
crossing place for Indians who would
land at the mouth of Sycamore Creek
and then penetrate into the settle
ments back in Kentucky.

MANY TRAGEDIES
HAVE OCCURRED
IN SANE SECTION
That Part Of Adams County Where
TOmlin Tragedy Occurred Has
Seen Many Terrible
Murders.

Manchester, Ohio, - The recent ter
rible TRACED which occurred last week
at the mouth of Brush Creek at the
east end Of Monroe township, in Ad-
ans county, in which Mrs. May Tom
lin killed her son, ellis, aged 5, in
FAINT son, Kenneth, and seriously
wounded her daughter, Hazel, aged 3,
and then took her own life by plung-
ing into Brush Creek, recalls the fact
that this place and vicinity has been
a noted place in the annals of tragic
history. Aside from being a conven-
lent crossing place for Indians COM
ing down from the North when going
on their frequent raids to murder and
prey on the pioneers of Kentucky.
The first tragedy mentioned in history
was the brutal murder of a man nam
ed Lightfoot, trader on his way
down the Ohio River in large canoe
by one David Beckett, who was hanged
for the crime at West Union, Ohio.
In 1909 man named Greathouse,
who was passing down the Ohio, was
hailed in by band of desperadoes,
commanded by that great renegade
Simon Girty, who was noted in pio-
neer history for cold-blooded cruelty.
Mr.. Greenhouse was tried to tree and
then beat to death.
1t was at the mouth of this same
creek that James Dunbar met his
death by drowning, the canoe in which
he was travelling being overturned
during storm which was raging at
the time.
Just few miles east OF this place
in 1869 Frank Hardy murdered James
II. Rice. He was apprehended and
tried for the murder, found guilty and
sentenced to hang, but Governor
Rutherford b. Hays commuted the
sentence to life Imprisonment. Henry
