A year or two ago a couple of the papers of the State advocated the ex- tinction of the buzzard, mostly be- “happen’ oftener than anything else without disturbing the statu quo: the Georgia peach crop can be killed ever Chinese throne can be abdicated two or three times a week without the im-| perial family budging a mite. A s e S Those congressmen surely have or- ganized a mutual admiration society, ‘with “you tickle me and I'll tickle you" as the charter, by-laws and rit- ual!

Folks here are not eating a great many, how- ever. 'We realize that there are poor un!orwmte: in the morth who are depending upon us to furnish them berrles at & dollar & quart or so, and . we just haven't the heart to deprive them. We're patiently waiting un- ti1 “bimeby”—when the price is down ; to 5 or 10 cents a quart. R <G AT, All patriots should remember that “ if they desire to assist in saving the | | counfry by voting for the men of ! thelr choice in the ferthicomingz pri- maries, they will have to pay -their poll-taxes by the second Saturday in March, which is the 9th day. Taxes for 1910 and 1911 must be paid, i “‘they were legally due, otherwise the privilege of voting will be lost. A S ECA perusal of the letters between ' Governor Wilson ahd Col. Harvey in- dicate that the gentiemen "are or were——very well satisfied with each other. In fact, they are almogt like love-letters, It seems that this Wil- ; gon-Harvey-Watterson incident 1s a case of much ado about nothing, and . that the a@do has been incited and £ nurtured by Watson’s political ene- mies in a desperate effort to wrest the nomination from him—which we | trust will prove unsuccessful. . —_— b The Pensacola Journal's pare- grapher has gone dafly about *“‘brown- eyed heauties,” and can hardly take his pen In hand without. writing something aout them. The Jackson- ville Metropolls sugzests that he's either just married or just going to be. Mayhiap, he's a widower, They are eaid to be not indifferent to the light that lies in woman's eyes, and not even particular as to the color of ¥ the optics. ° g The man who borrows his neigh- Yor's paper is imposing upon the sald neighbor as much as hé would be in asking the neighbor to loan him his hat or.horse and buggy. The afore- sald neighbor pays for the paper, and it takes as much nerve to ask a man { for a paper he has paid for as it . would take to ask him for any other " property that ho has accumulated by . his industry and thrift. ‘It tales only wo words to describe the rehronice . paper borrower, and those two words “are “dead-beat.” His punishment m be beat dead.—Pensacola cause it was a filthy bird. 1f this were the only charge against it, it should be allowed to live, as it is not so filthy as the matter it devours. But in the light of latter-day knowledge {the bird is charged with spreading disease among ddmestic’ animals and very doubtful if its good offices make up for the damage it causes: 1t 1s the practice in Florida to let the buzzards eat every animal that dies from any cause.

L The name of this corporation shalll be: Kimbrough Syitem Overhead Ir- rigation Company. Its principal office and place of business shall be at| Lakeland, Florida. Other offices may ‘be established at such other places as the corporation may desire and its; business may require. 1L The general nature of the business to be transacted by this corporation shall be: Buying, holding, selling or otherwise disposing of patent and territorial rights of that system of irrigation known as the Kimbrough | System Overhead Irrigation, buy- ing, holding, selling or leasing patents, patent rights, copyrights, trade marks; buying, manufacturing, selling, installing and operating ir- rigating plants and apparatus, im- cluding pfpes, nozzles, pumps, ‘en- gines, drillinig machines and any and: all other appliances, apparatus or equipment that may be necessary for easés. “The buzzards carry ‘these dis- edse germis with them on their beaks jand feet, dnd the germs, of course, are left in the water holes where the birds as well as range stock drink. Some germs come into the water with their droppings. Buzu.rds often en- ter the barn yards where horses roil | and cattle and chickens constantly pick up scraps of forage from the ground. If any diseage germs adhere to the feet of the birds they will be dropped on the ground and eaten by | the animals or they will enter their systems either through the skin or by breathing them into the lungs, and thus animals far away from any di- rect contagion will often take dis~ ease, % The buzzard is not found every- where, and where it is absent dead animals are burifed.. Why not do o in Florida and shot the buzzard like we would a hawk or an eagle? Noj| balance of nature will be disturbed thereby, for of wild animals few large rones are leff, and the small ones that, die a natural death are quickly de- voured, by “ " Insects. Newly born lambs, kids and pigs are also often eaten by buzzards, which is another plea for their extinction. The law that protects: buzzards should be re- pealed. —Stuke ’l‘elemph Loyalty is' ti;e quality that prompts a person to be true to the thing he undertakes.
