Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Melton with their two children, who have been residing in Leesburg, Florida for the past two years, teaching in one of the colleges of that place, are on a visit to Mrs. Melton's mother, Mrs. Emily Keller. Since Mrs. M's arrival, we regret to learn, she has had a severe attack of chills and fever. Mr. Melton is a popular gentleman, and his many friends give him a hearty welcome. A pleasant visit.
