M. Bowers, a Baptist minister of this place, participated in a communion service with a Presbyterian congregation, and re- iused to admit that he committed a wrong, he has relinquished his pas- torate here and may have to face higher tribunals in his church. Rev. Bowers is a young minister. He has occupied the pulpit but a short time. He had three churches in Hambien county, one of which is the Russellville Baptist church of this place, and makes his home here. He has many friends throughout the county, many of whom now take the side of the minister against those who would unseat him as a Baptist minister. He recently aided in a revival in a Presbyterian chiurch here. At its conclusion the regular communion service was held, according to Pres- byterian rituals. Rev. Bowers was one of these communicants, he ig- noring, it is said, the so-called *“'close communion’ doctrine of the Baptist church. CHILDREN WRECK TRAIN. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1911.

HINES & SNYDER HAVE LEASED ARLINGTON AND LAKE MIRROR HOTELS NO. 24 METHODIST CONFERENCE MEETS DECEMBER 13. Rev. D. B. Sweat has been in the city this week, guest of Rev. J. Ed- gar Wilsou. Rev. Sweat is pastor of the First Methodist church of Ar- cadia, and was here arranging for a special edition of the Florida Chris- tian Advocate, to be put out on ac- count of the annual Conference, which meets in Gainesville on De- cember 13th.-—Gainesville Sun. Persistent rumors have been in circulation on the streets today that the management of the Tremont hotel has acquired the business of the Arlington and Lake Mirror ho- tels, and will run those two houses in connection with the main hotel. Although information asked for by this paper has been so grudgingly given that it is difficult to give a guaranteed correct version, the sum of our investigations indicate that there is no truth in the story of the Tremont's connection with the deal, this impression having gained cur- rency on account of the fact that one of the parties to the transaction is Mr. Hines, the present clerk of the remont. It scems that he and Mr. 1. I, Suyder have leased the Lake Mirror and the Arlington, and will conduct these hotels. We are not informed when the proposed change will go into effect, but it is pre= sumed at an early date. GOOD FOR MANATEE. An election to vote for $100,000 bond issue will be held at Braden- town, December 12th.

Years afterward the young patriot returns home with an empty sleeve and drives home the cows as when he was a boy; the picture taking its from this incident, “Driving Home the Cows.” Nearly two hundred people were required to enact this picture, and seenery was necessary for some of the acts. The work of the company was watched with interest by many spectators, although their presence did not interfere in the least with the company’'s move- ments.
