Ex-Governor B. B. Comer of Ala
bama, returning from a fishing trip
to Captlva island, passed through
here Saturday afternoon. While
here, he spent an hour or two In
dulging in reminiscences with his
school-boy friend, A. P. Jordan, with
whom he attended common school
and college over fifty years ago. In
all that time, this was the first meet
ing between the two.
Hattie Watson, a colored woman
who runs a restaurant in "the quar
ters," had E. T. Tillman, n colored
citizen, arrested and brought before
County Judge Trabue, Monday, on a
charge of trying to break into and
enter her "hash-house" and assault
her. She proved her case, and the
offender was fined $5.00 and costs.
Another colored "gemtnun," Allen
Stephens, is to be tried today on a
charge of trespass preferred by E. 1,.
Guthrie.
Miss Elizabeth Fickhorn, a trained
nurse from Baltimore, who came here
last November, Rince when she has
been the guest of Mr. and Mrs. J. C
Anderson, left Tuesday morning, for
Tampa and Saint Petersburg. When
she came here, she was a physical
wreck; now she has fully recovered,
is in line health, and is so delklited
with the benefit thai she received
from this climate that she does not
intend to return north, if she can
find employment in her profession
anywhere in this region.
An alarm of fire sounded at noon
Tuesday, sent hundreds of people in
cars and on foot hurrying to the west
end of Marian avenue, where I hey
found no fire to speak of: whereupon
they wheeled around and rushed out
on the eastern end of the avenue,
only to find no conflagration there.
Finally, this reporter 'phoned the ice
factory and asked where the dickens
was the lire, and got the answer that
it was in or on a little house opposite
W. R. Howland's on the west end of
Marian avenue. But it must have
been a doll's house, as nobody saw
the fire.
A number of the local froung follcs
had a delightful picnic on the north
shore of the bay, Monday night.
They were chaperoned' by Mesdames
Frank Blount and J. Leslie Taylor,
and the party included Misses Gene
Pennock. Elise Blount. Thelma John
son. Stella Sheffield, Lillian Sheffield,
Ruth Osgood and Virginia Taylor;
and Messrs. Coe Allen, James Merry
hew. George Williamson, Charley
Jones, Norman Johns and Thad
Adams. They went in automobiles
across the great bridge; had a merry
lime and lots of good things to eat.
which included cake and ice cream.
W. A. DeLoaeh, yOUDg son of
Cashier DeLoaeh of the Slate Bank,
met with a very painful, not to say
serious accident, Friday afternoon,
when he tried to crank a stationary
engine at his parents' home .near the
railroad crossing on Taylor street.
The crank flew loose and struck him
with such force on the left side of
the nose as to render him senseless
for a moment. It made an ugly hole
in his cheek and nose, from which the
blood flowed freely, covering his
I r . ,n,i ,-ivinL' him a shocking ap-

pearance. Without assistance he
walked down town, secured surgical
aid, and is now fast recovering from
the accident.
