Conven- tions of this character do much to advertise a town. Lakeland should prepare to care for, and then go out after more conventions, “BORN ON A FARM." We note that some iconoclast has started @ movement against the time- honored and well-worn slozan of the politician, “Born on u farm.” One editor over in West Florida has gote o far as to state that he will neither support nor vote for any candidate who emphasizes this *“born on a farm’ business as a claim upon the voter. Others have seconded the motion, and it begins to look as if a man will have to produce some other office besides on the in life evidence of fitness for the fact that he was farm—and left it as early as he could get away. We confess that we have seen the reason why a man should be chesty about being born on 2 farm. In the tirst place, no particu- Jar credit 1s due him, for the reason that he was not consulted as to the time or place of his birth, and if he had been it is probable that he would have seelcted some place other than the farm—as evidenced by the fact that in many instances the politician who shouts the phrase loudest em- braced the first opportunity to turn his back on the charms of farm life. Moreover, other things besides poli- ticians are born on farms, though they don’'t make as much fuss about it. Hogs, redbugs, polecats and pol- lywogs have an equal right with demagogic office-seckers to point with pride to the farm as a birthplace-— though they seldom exercise the priv-| ilege. Unless, therefore, a man can show us that he has something else to rec- ommend tim bestdes the aceidental selection of a farm as a birthplace, we must decline to enthuse. Almost anybody, given the proper anteced- ents, can be born on a farm. There may be some credit in sticking to the farm, or in going back to the farm, horn never but this outery about being born on, a farm has been worked to a limit.| and the voter is getting wise to the | barrenness of such a plea. We farm- ers will have no more of it, and we, put the dear vote-hunter on notice, that he may edit his speeches and campaign literature accordingly. o0 CASES CONSIDERED BY STATE PARDON BOARD. interest Pardon The followinz cases, of before the State ay for their consideration: here, came Board Frid An application was again present-| ed for the pardon of Ben Henry from assanlt with intem to a conviction for to commit murder and sentence imprisonmen for twenty years the Cirenit Court for Polk county. 2t the fall term, 102, After due cone sideration, it was ordered that application be denied.

Knoxville, Tenn., Jan. 15.-—A spe- cial to the Sentinel from Middles- horo, Ky., says Smith Fouch died at Whitesburg, Letcher county, Ken- tucky, believing that he had sold his head to Dr. Blair, now of Apache, Okla. About years ago Fouch was shot in one eve. Dr. Blair was summoned. Fouch was poor, and siaid the only thing he had to teuwder the doctor for his services was his head. The doctor accepted the ten- der ,believing Fouch would die. How- ever, Fouch recovered and lived yvears longer. Fouch persisted, even up to his dying moments, that Dr, Blair owned his head. o- GREEKS CELEBRATE JAN. 14 AS NEW YEAR'S DAY.
