Iself to be quite persistent solicitor,

for about twenty-three ($23) dollars
in just few days work. Success to
you, my little lady. Call again,
The firm of Bryan and Brantley
sold the years crop of naval stores
last week and Immediately the price
took an upward trend and now they
find themselves losers to the tune of
several hundred dollars by selling a.
week too soon.
B. A. Brantley ana family are con-
templating moving to Punta Gorda
and making that beautiful little city
their future home. We wish for
them success wherever they may
choose to dwell Our loss will be
Punta Gorda's gain and we hope the
Brantleys will be as highly appreciat-

they were here.
Ed. Bell made a trip to Arcadia,
last Friday.
E. G. Mills, of Vineland, who has
been suffering with malarial fever

Miss Lorena Garner went to Engle-
wood on New Years eve and spent the
New Year holiday with Mrs. Jessie
Buchan. Miss Garner reports very
pleasant trip. AS the ladies were old

out and the new year in.
Owing to the shimmering waves of
the moon shine one night last week,
Mrs. Wood, thought the garage doors
were open whereas there was but one
door standing open and her ladyship
did not discover the mistake until the
car rammed the unopened door. In
the excitement, instead of stepping on
the brake, she stepped on the gas.
No one hurt and but little damag2
done.
Uncle Johnnie Densten is entitled
to the honor of having the best kept

as those of Mr.. Densten and Mr.. |
Now that Mrs. Dominnecker has
gotten on the job with her old time
yigor, her product has taken a slump
in price, and those who used to be /
,lamoring for eggs, now turn up their
nose at the mere mention of hem !
apples. We find that the only time
eggs are popular is when they are
yery scarce. The unattainable is al
ways the most desired.
A. E. Preveaux, of Vineland, was
| caller in our burg last week.
Mr.. Lamp, of Englewood, came j.

dr. Lamp will find it to his interest
o make many more similar calls.

We alwoys respect the feelings of 4,

reat others as we should like to be j
reated under similar circumstances 7
