It came again and again, and she tumbled out of the hammock and } LS ren down to the ""'mu gate just as a col- muhlll!ih’ i ored woman came staggering up, and just as a big black goat was disappearing down the road. The colored woman was Aunt Tilda, the cook, and the goat was a goat un- known. “Oh, Miss Ruth!” gasped the cook as she fell on the grass. “For the land’s sake, Tilda, but what s it?” “It was a grissly b'ar, Miss Ruth, and he was gwine eat me up!” | “Tilda!” “I declar’ to goodness it was!” | “I saw a black goat fleeing down the road.” “Wall, mebbe it was a goat, but it is the same thing as a grissly b'ar.

She had not progressed over ten rods when she heard a snort and saw that black goat bearing down upon her. ! She had just got inside the gate and swung it to when the horns of the goat struck it. She had screamed once or twice en route, and the cook was on the veranda. “Befo’ de Lawd, but dar’s de sunthin’ wid horng dat de Hanner woman dreamed of!"” Just received a solid car load of the board of : 4 tance, onposi- | !tion, or obstruction, of an officer of e City of Lakeland in the disc 1 of duty. is by made an offer hall he punished by fine in tt fsum oof fifty to two hundred dollarvs, or by imbrisonment for the period of | Also a car of pitch pine fence post. hetrict aneffice land in the disc Lereby made an offe punished by fine i ty to eightv dol . ment for the ne of ten to days. or by both fine and imprison- ment AIDING VIOLATORS OF LAWS OR { At ten o'clock next forenoon Miss o OR ;('rfn‘ .
