A LETTER FROM A FORMER RESIDENT Mrs. Truesdell Tells Os Large Democratic Rally And Fish Fry. Throug the courtesy of the State Bank of Syracuse, we are able to give our readers a few interesting excerpts from a letter written to that institution by Mrs. Molly Truesdell, a former proprietor of what is now known as Brainard’s Department Store. Mrs. Truesdell says “We still continue to think that there is no place like West Florida with its cool, pleas ant summers and mild winters ’ She enclosed a clipping giving an extensive write-up of a large dein ocraiic rally and fish fry. They had big iron kettles that held 15 gallons of lard each. They buil fires around these of pine knots am' would drop big red snapper fish in the hot lard. We reprint a portion of the clipping: “After the speaking, the multitude was fed on the “loaves and fishes” in such abundance that “twelve baskets might have been gathered up after everybody wa; filled. This was also superintended by Mrs. Truesdell, whose ingenuity and willing hands are always in ev idenee when Lynn Haven and he visitors are to be entertained.” 1 New Sign. A new electric sign has been placed in the window of the Mason ic lodge room. It was painted bv J. M. Sargent and put together and installed by Colwell and Gordy. Married Sunday. We take the following item from the weekly news letter of Miss Bessie Juday: Don V. Flick and Mrs. Lidia Steel of Walkerton, were quiet ly married at the home of Rev. Simon , Sunday. They were accompanied by the bride’s sister, Miss Mable Steel and a gentleman friend. Mrs. Simons served a very fine dinr er for the guests. Mr: Libbie\stewert brought sev eral ». jrawberries to the Journal office, Saturday afternoon. One o the berries was ripe and of a size larger than most grown in proper season. ? Mrs. Stewert is keeping the vines covered in an effort to keep the frost from the fruit until it ripens.

Relative Os Leonard Brown. Mrs. Stowell, who is mentioned in our local columns as visiting Mrs. Sarah Juday, over Sunday, is a relative of Leonard Brown, The latter will probably be remembered bv Journal readers as the man who assisted Geo. W. Miles in untangling several details in Syracuse history, several years ago. Mr. Brown wrote several very interesting letters at that time for Syracuse papers. Celebrates 75th Birthday. Mrs. Sophia Rookstool celebrated her 75th birthday anniversary, Sun day. Those who assisted her in observing the occasion were Melvin Neff and wife and Mrs. Elmer Dewart of Milford, Chas.

The honeymoon of Mr. and Mrs David Knisley, at Goshen, whose marriage the Journal announced last week, was rudely broken into when the new Mrs.’Knisley discovered that her husband had fibbed a little about his wealth. Each side bas retained a lawyer aud then difficulties will possibly be aired in court. Earnhart Is Recovering. According to reports from Albion.

ELOPE IN AEROPLANE ART SMITH AND AIMEE COUR FLY TO HILLSDALE. WHERE THEY WERE MARRIED The Only Feature to Mar the Pleasure of the Trip Was the Landing In a Plowed Field, Which Caused the Biplane to Turn Over—Other Indiana News. Fort .Wayne, Oct. 28. —Birdboy Art Smith and Miss Aimee Cour. of Fort Wayne, eloped to Hillsdale, Mich., and were married. Commonplace thing to do, you think. Dozens of other have taken hasty vows in the Michigan Gretna Green, but the Smith-Cour elopement was an elopement with a difference. Different, in fact, from any elopement hist>ry records. The flight from stem parents was a real flight, a flight in an aeroplane, Smith’s own machine, the first elopement of its kind in history, and today the story of how the love of Art Smith and Aimee Cour, of Fort Wayne, found its way will be read around the world. Smith and his bride, encased in bandages and redolent of arnica from the effects of a too sudden descent in ‘a plowed field, appeared before Elder Jerome, of the Episcopal church, in the parlor of Smith’s hotel at Hillsdale and were married.' Present at the wedding, besides numerous friends Smith made during his flight at Hillsdale this summer, were Mr. and Mrs. A1 Wertman, formerly of this city, but now of Auburn. Mr. Wertman was with Mr. Smith when he built his first aeroplane, nearly two years ago, and helped the youthful aviator ami Wimp Peters, his mechanician, in the initial effort. The only feature to mar the first elopement in an aeroplane, was the descent The machine came down in a plowed field and when the front wheel struck the ground it sank in the soft earth for several feet. The result was that the rear end of the aeroplane w r as lifted upward and turned completely over. The two young history-making Fort Wayne residents were pinioned underneath the machine. Smith worked his way loose and by the time that aid had arrived he had helped Miss Cour from her perilious position, and together, althbttgfi- "ankles and other minor Injuries, they were trying to right the machine. Neither of the yo ung people seemed at all disturbed by the accident. With her face bruised from the overturning of the machine. Miss Cour laughingly told the admiring throng which gathered around her, how much she had enjoyed the ride. Smith, with cuts about his hands and face, and suffering from a badly sprained ankle, was the center of another admiring throng, but nothing but words of praise for his fiancee’s presence of mind, could be gained from him. 'Return After Thirty, Years. Mooresville, Oct. 28.—T0 show them they were not forgotten in their thirty years of absence, more than a hundred old friends and relatives welcomed the return of Mr. and Mrs. Ezra Woodward and daughter, of Newbury, Ore., and Mr. and Mrs. R. D. Woodward and Mr. and Mrs. R„H. Woodward, of Haviland, Kas., at the home of Samuel Harper, near here. - They gave the visitors an old-time chicken roast. A log fire was built in the open and around this the crowd gathered and bygone days were lived over again. The young folks enjoyed games in the afternoon and in the evening a supper was served, after which the crowd was entertained by the Woodward boys, who told stories of the west as they found it thirty years ago. Corrigan Finds Revolver. North Vernon, Oct. 26. —The revolver that is believed to have been used by the-men who murdered John and Charles McQuaid, was found on the farm of Andrew Haley by Lieutenant John Corrigan, of the IndianapUis police department.
