more than trebled the acreage.
We learn that Messrs. Marrec,
Densten and Gartman are setting
twenty thousand tomato plants and
will have an increased acreage of
beans, lettuce, peppers. etc. We
wonder if this would not be good
place for some buyer to drop in to
pick up little business.
Elder Bell lost a very valuable
cow last week-the only one he had.
He gave the calf, which was but
few days old, to Mr.. Adkins. 1t
would seem that Mr.. Adkins was OPP
perating an infirmary or hospital and
orphans home combined, as he now
has two calves that were crippled up
by the trains and now has this or
phan calf. We note that Mr.. Adkins
has better success with old furniture
or old shoes than with crippled
calves.
j. w. Mills, of Vineland, spent the
day last Wednesday with his daugh-
ter, Mrs. w. A. Bell.
A. A. Gartman and Uncle Johnnie
Densten are having great sport these
nights wrestling with the wary
shook.
Our teacher, seeing the need of
school library at this place, has for
mulated plans whereby the school
will give a series of entertainments
with which to obtain funds for the
purchase of book cases and the neces-
sary books. The first entertainment
of the series will be- given on the
evening of February 14th, and be-
sides defamation, class work, ETC.,
there will be valentines given and
received, patterned on the postal sys-
TEN. All who are interested in the
coming generation, who are soon TO
take our place, being given modern
advantages, so that they may be bet
ter equipped for the sterner duties OF
life, are cordially invited to be pres
ent and encourage the school IN TINS
good work. Every advance in edu-
cation is an advance IN civilization
We confidently expect you to be pres
ent the evening of February 14th as
there will be no admission fee.
A bevy of ladies of our burg decid-
ed to slip off one day last week and
explore the oyster beds of the Myak-
ka. Well, to hear them tell of their
experience their trip was most fruit
full of fun than of oysters. One lady,
as she went to climb into the boat,
had her feet to slip and went under
the boat-not in it.
The second car of lumber for the
school house to be built at Engle-
wood, was unloaded and hauled last
week. Mr.. Frieze and his truck was
going early and late from Englewood
to Mccall and back again so there
would be no unnecessary delays.
D. Golf is getting the posts neces-
sary for the repairing of fences along
the C. H. & N. right Of way.
S. r. Golf has joined a crew of
fishermen under Capt. John A. Gof,
of Charlotte Harbor. Sam has had
some experience in fishing and we
believe and hope he will make good.
One night last week, Johnnie
Jones, armed with the Sword of the
Spirit, which is the Word of God"
(Eph. 6:17;) was trying to convince
sinners of the error of their way and
to warn them to fee from, the wrath
to come. We fear Johnnie has set
for himself very difficult task as the
spirit of militarism has far too strong
hold in these United States. We
have only to turn the pages of his
tory to learn that the two horns OF
power and strength of the churches
lay in the civil and military powers.
