Most them will return next season aftd help the planters keep Lake City in the lead. A peculiarly sad death, which occurred near Lake City last Thurs day evening, was that of Mrs T * Cook, the wife of Mr E Austin Cook, t of this place. Complaining of a sudden attack of indigestion, she ^ retired to her room and almost before a physician could be summoned had expired in less than twenty minutes after feeling ill. Besides her husband she leaves a family of nine small children and a large number of relatives. Profound sympathy is extended to the bereaved family. Lake City's cotton market continues to keep up the record made at the opening of the season and m the highest prices are paid for it. f" Farmers seem to be selling as fast ^ as the cotton is picked.

Among those who took advantage of the cheap rates on the A C L railroad and went to Florida last week were: Messrs Maxie and Dallas Matthews, J G Singletary, Freeland Jones and Arthur Lynch. Mr Arthur Lynch, in speaking of the sights in the"Land of Flowers", told of his visit to an ostrich farm where he saw the wee sma' birds carrying a man on "bird-back." Also he saw an alligator farm. While the keeper of one of the 'gators, a specimen of about 800 lbs, was teasing him and showing what he could do with his "pet", the fellow got vexed and attacked his i keeper, taking him in his huge mouth across his body and beating him on the ground as long as he pleased. Finally he let his victim go and deliberately backed off a little way. The keeper was hastily 3ent by auto to Jacksonville. Mr Max Husbands spent Sunday in town, returning to Florence that afternoon.
