THE ALLIGATOR DIDN’T GET HIM

Levi Renicker and his mother returned Friday from Boynton, Fla., where they have been for the past three months. Mr. Renicker’s wife and children will remain there until it gets warm and pleasant here, probably a couple of months yet. It agrees well with Mrs. Renicker and the children there, the former having gained 18 pounds in weight during the time she has been in Florida. Levi was bothered some with rheumatism, but otherwise he liked it very much as a place tp spend the winter. His mother, who is quite old, wanted to come home and as Levi had intended all along to return early in March, they decided to come, and leave the rest of the family there awhile yet. Levi shows the traces of the southern climate in a good coat of tan.
