As time has proved, this was one of the most significant legis- lative acts in the history of the world. | The idea of a separation of the Ameri- can colonies from England was first ex- pressed in the Congress through a resolu- tion by Richard Henry Lee of Virginia on ) Sherman’ was appointed on June 10 to draw | up @ suitable declaration in accordance with Lee’s resolution, and the drafting of the immortal document was entrusted to Jefferson. The Declaration as written by Jeffer- son, with slight amendments by Franklin and Adams, was presented to the Congress on June 28. Lee’s resolution was passed on July 2, and the Declaration of Indepen- dence was adopted on July 4. After the formal document had been engrossed on parchment it was signed by ust 2, 1776, and by the absentees on later dates.

All except 8 of the signers were born on American soil; 34 were lawyers, 13 plant- ers or farmers, 9 merchants, 5 physicians, 2 mechanics, 1 clergyman, 1 mason and 1 surveyor, Two’ of the signers, Adams and Jef- ferson, became president. Nearly all played important parts in the early days of the re- public. It is fitting that we should pay Day. FIRST BATTLE FLAG The question of whén and where the American flag with stars and stripes was first carried in battle has been the subject of much controversy among historians ever bg *since the'’Revolution. In fact, in spite of the Betsy Ross tradition, the origin of the flag is uncertain. It is a matter of history that the flag Congréss on June 14, 1777, but the exact date on which the first flag was made is unknown.

' The writer récalls ‘a statement made by Brisbane several years ago that the Eighteenth Amendment would not. be re- pealed for at least 30 years. But times change and he is sifging a different song now. Wisely said Mrs. Beulah Hooks Eannah of Lakeland at the Ocala meet- ing: “We want liquor controlled and free from gangsters and Yacketeers. We are not seeking to get liquor back. It has al- ways been here.” The census bureau is authority for the statement that Florida’s population has increased 15,000 in the last three years.

No longer will those who filled their coffers with the tax certificate operate with any degree of success in the state. Tax certificates, under the Landis ruling, can be purchased only by the fee simplé owner thereof, at least untit July, 1938. That the appearance and volume of a@ newspaper is a reflection of the com- munity in which it is published is once more demonstrated in a communication from New York received by The Citizen. “We wish to compliment you on your splendid issue of last Thursday. We sincerély hope that this is an indication of improved busi- ness conditions in your city and section.” | recently made researches with a view to tle, there have been conflicting claims. Un- til recently it was generally supposed that this occurred at Fort Schuyler, N. Y., on August 3, 1777, when that post was be- sieged by the British. The flag used on that occasion was said to have been made from a blue jacket and a soldier’s wife’s red petticoat, with stars cut from a white shirt. War Department officials who have clearing up the matter now declare that the evidence favors Coochs Bridge, Del., as the place where the first battle flag with stars and stripes was unfurled. This was during a skirmish which preceded the bat- tle of Brandywine, and occurred on Sep- tember 8, 1777. All of which is interesting, though not of great importance. The important thing is that the Stars and Stripes still floats as the symbol of freedom and equality of op- portunity. The fact that the principles for which it stands are sometimes violated does not materially detract from its sub- lime pare oliaos, REALTY REVIVAL One of the most encouraging signs of the time is real estate improvement. Prop- erty is “moving” again. In one of the cities.avhose financial institutions have been loaded down with foreclosed property that apparently was going to take years to liquidate, the word now is that if present | sales rates continue, it will all be sold out | interests janother term. by September or October.
