TALLAHASSEE, March 1S.-It has

will be heard in the supreme court
next Tuesday morning in the case of
Bernice Larmon, plaintiff in error, VS..

error.
The case is before the supreme
court on writ of error from a convic-
ton of Larmon in the supreme court
of Leon county for the murder of one
R. H. Rushing. It will be recalled
that the body of Rushing was found
in culvert on the Dixie highway in
this county, near the Georgia line, sew
eral days after Rushing leaft ITALIA
hassee TO rThomasville in company
with Harmon and wife. After a search,
which spread all over the country, the
Lannon's were found, located and ap-
pretended in Detroit and were re-
turned to their home in Kentucky, at
which point they were turned over to
officers from this county. At the sue
ceeding term of the circuit court both
Lannon's were indicted for Rushings
murder. AT the trial the wife, young
girl, was acquitted, while the plaintiff
in error was convicted of murder in
the third degree. The sole motive for
the crime, apparently, was robbery as
Rushing was in charge of the car in
which the trip to ThomasvilIe was
and in which the Lannon's
continued in their fight. The trial
attracted huge crowds from all over

have a friend who ownest a large
hotel. And he wrote an epistle unto
me, saying, when thou coTneth unto
this burg, let no man beguile thee of
thy wealth. Come thou to mine hotel,
and eat that which is good, and 1t
shall not cost thee one red cent"
Now I had occasion to visit that
city, and he met me with an automo-
bile, and took me to his hotel, and
gave unto me a swell room with a
bath, and fed me with feasting. And
we had fine breakfast. and a lunch
that was some lunch.
But when we came to dinner, behold,
he was weary. And we looked over the
bill of fare, and nothing looked good
unto him.
And I said. II will have p1anked
Whitefish."
And he said, NAY; have been try
ing to get chef who could plank an
whitefish as it should be done; try
something else
And said, 'T will have canvasbacll
duck"
And he said, II saw those ducks
when they came in. and they looked
none too good to me; they were the
best could get. but would try some
thing else"
And thus he spake of everything I
proposed.
And then he said, Come. let US get
out of this mob. I know a nice little
chop house. Let us run over there and
get a good beefsteak.
And / said, " Not on thy life There
is no chop-house that can put up such
eats as l have here, | intend to eat
this whole bill of fare"
And he blessed me, and he said, Our
food is good, and this is the best hotel
within a circle of five hundred miles,
and 1 know it. But 1 get so weary
knowing what goes into everything,
and the process by which things are
done, that get tired
And 1 said unto him, 90, my friend,
thou art not the only pebble on the
beach. What thou sayest is true of all
men when they come to know the
seamy side of their own Job"
And he said, TT cannot be so with
thee"
And 1 said, at is even so. know too
well what goeth into my homiletic
soup-kettle. And I know that when I
roast people from the pulpit it is often
overdone and scorched."
And 1 said. Come, let us eat this
food, for it seemeth me this is one
good square meal"
And he said, You can just bet that
meal you are eating is all wool and q
yard WIDE"
And it was some meal.

OUTLINE WORK FOR
SALVATION ARMY
Community Advisory Board Getting in
Shape to Assist the Army.

At a meeting held at the chamber of
commerce. Thursday, the community
advisory board went into further de-
tails of Salvation Army affairs in
this county. At their request Capt
Bergren had come over from Mobile
especially to tell them Of the work of
the Salvation Army, what had been
done in this county in the past and
what might be done In the future un-
der the advisory board system. Cap
tain Bergren stressed the fact that
while the work Of the, Salvation Army
was first mad foremost evangelistic,
yet the crying needs Of the people
among whom they work was for bodi-
ly Strengthening and mental uplifting.
1t was impossible to make a man who
was down and almost out physically
and mentally believe in a better life
here and a certain life hereafter IN
til his bodily needs had been taken
care of and his strength built up.
From this vast experience. cover
ing 40 years of labor, had grown up
the immense organization of welfare
work and institutions through which
comfort of the needy, the sick and the
suffering, and by doing so restore their
belief in the goodness Of God and the
mercy Of Jesus Christ.
It was found imperative that to take
care of these needs the tSalvationists
must be themselves skilled experts in
many varied lines of work, and to
this end the huge training school had
been built in New York, where Saliva
tionists received training which en-
abled them to carry out the work in
their many institutions and in the
field which had won for them the high
regard of the American people.
Here In Pensacola Captain Bergren
had had many varied problems to han
die, and he recited cases which had
occurred here covering a number of
the Salvation Army activities. He
mentioned a girl of twelve years Of
age who appealed to a man on Zarra-
gossa street to save her. She had been
brought from New Orleans to Pensa-
cola and found herself in the wrong
house, so after spending a night on
Zarragossa street she appealed to this
man, who took her to Captain Ber-
gren, and she was Immediately re-
turned home to her mother.
Another case was a family in the
country visited by Captain Bergren
and found to be in very great need.
The husband was sick, there We're
seven little children who were prac-
tically without clothing, there was no
furniture or food. This family was
fully provided for by the Salvation
Army.
Showing another side of Salvation
Army work, was the case of man
suffering from a terrible disease,
which was so offensive that no hos
pitaI nor county farm would accept
him; neither could he be brought into
the city. No nurse could be found to
stay with him, and after trying to
obtain ex-service men to handle the
case and failing to get anyone to stay,
Captain Bergren rented a small shack
in the outlying district, furnished it
himself and nursed this man until his
death, several weeks later.
Captain Bergren went into the fl
nancial troubles which kept the Saliva
ton Army from doing as much as it
would like to do in the alienation Of
such cases as these, and the advisory
