We publish a description of Sidna Allen in today's paper so that any of our citizens seeing an individual answering the description may dodge up an alley. Hardly a day passes but that some new thing indicative of the growth and progress of the city is an- nounced—a new enterprise started, a mew public improvement added, a new building begun. And these things keep getting bigger all the time. People with little ideas will be crowded to the suburbs ere long. There is no room for them in the center of things in this hustling growing community. The project to build a magnificent hotel here, by a local capitalist, should not be allowed to be dropped for lack of encouragement. We do not know when a proposition of greater importance to the citizens has been presented to them. If the City Council has offered all the con- cessions it can consistently give, the Roard of Trade and business men should take the matter up and give such supplementary support as will induce the erection of this building. It will pay handsomely to foster this enterprise, Seven or eight years ago the writ- er advised the purchase of certain property on Lake Morton by the city for park purposes. Ille was laughed at, as the property was then con- sidered to be in the suburbs. Today the land in question is thickly cov- c¢red with houses and to find the same conditions as existed at that time one will have to go a mile fur- ther out. It is not too late, however, to conserve some natural beauties that yet remain untouched by the march of progress, and which ought to be kept for all time for the en- joyment and pleasure of our people. “The biggest surprise I ever got in my business,’ said a ventriloquist who was recently performing in Co- lumbus, O, “was in England when piaying at a little theater in the out- skirts of London. When I came on the stage I threw my voice up in the rafters and inquired: ‘What are you doing up there?’ To my surprise a small voice answered, ‘I came here to see the people and hear the mu- sle” ‘Very well,” said 1, ‘stay there and don’t let any one see you.'! Then I bowed to the audience amid thun- derous applause.” It is very frequent- Iy that “thunderous applause” is evoked by just as much a sell on the audienve.—Miami Metropolis, TWO REASONS NOW. It is remarkable what a little paint and a few flowers will do toward in- creasing the value of a piece of prop- erty. We used to praise such im- provements for their beautifying power, but the thing now-a-days is to call attention to the dollars and cents they add to the possessions.— Palatka Times Herald. On account of there belng some discussion as to placing electric «igns on the new passenger station, the Atlantic Coast Line have left va- cant the places where the signs are to be placed.

EDITOR. PRESS AND PULPIT. Let the churches do the deeds and the good news. The press will spread the story. The day is far off world better will lack the support of the American press. If there is a keener judge of what is genuine than the press, who is he? dare more to defend it? Plainly all the interests of man that go under the general name of religious are precisely those that ev- ery decent newspaper secks to de- fend and promote in human society. Under other names than the church phraseclogy, yet in substance the roral and spiritual welfare of so- ciety are as precious belongings of mankind in our eyes as they are in the view of the church.

TO THE TELEGRAM OFFICE. A desk to an office man is about the best companion or perhaps the nearest associate he has eizht hours a day. He sits before it and the lit- tle space around it—five feet by three feet—comprises his empire. ’ Some men are methodical, others i Ims COULD WELL APPLY slovenly, but most vary in degrees between the two extremes, The most methodical chap the writer knew always had four pencils and two erasers on his desk. A pair oi shears was kept in the southwest cor- [ncr of one of the pigeon holes and idrawn in and out so many times that on the edge was worn through, He ;carefully dusted the desk each morn- & and after lunch, and the amount ever ¢f work he did turn out was aston- But he was too good to last two years ishing.

His boss in the same office took a rumber of trade papers and a lot of other junk which he carefully piled on the left hand side of his desk. tiis letters e allowed to accumulate, except the most important ones, and when he really wanted to do some work at his desk he put his paper down about three inches above the surface of the wood -that was the nearest he could get to the surface. No one ever dared touch anything, and he was generally able to find what he wanted. One day his wife came in and started to clean house. She arranged all the letters in one pile on one side, face up. She care- fully dusted everything and went out before he came back. What he didn't One thing, his wife never heard the last of her clean-up crusade.—Miami Herald, went insane about say was only a little, STATE HORTICULTURISTS MEET AT MIAMI Jacksonville, April 5.--The meeting of the Florida State Horti- cultural Society will be its twenty- fifth session and will be held in Miami, the “Magic City” of the east st. The opening meeting will be nexu on Tuesday, May 14, 1912, at 1 a. m, There are but comparatively few horticultural societies in the United States that can boast of tyenty-five years without missing a session, and there are few societies where the re- port of the meetings are in constant demand, not only by individuals, but by libraries and experiment stations. The annual report is always filled with instructive and interesting mat- ter which makes it worth more to {the grower than the annual dues of $1.00. The Florida East Coast in its usual liberal manner towards the Florida { Horticultural Society has granted a rate of one fare plus 25 cents for the round trip. From junction points the rates are as follows: Jacksonville to Miami and return, $11.25; Palatka to Miami and return, $0.70; Orange City Junction to M and return, $8.30; Enterprise Junction to Miami and return, $7.80. The other lines have not as yet agreed to a rate of one fare plus 25 cents, but it is hoped they will. If you are not a member send $1 |at once to E. 0. Painter, secretary, Jacksonville, Fla., and get a mem- bership certificate which will entitle jyou to all the advantages of reduced (rates if you go on the trip, and it Inot to the printed report which {s jworth more than the membership fee.
