The proportion of Wilson men ' would be larger in south Florida. The Plant City Courier got out a yery attractive Easter edition. No paper in Florida has made- more marked and rapid improvement than nas the Courier during the past two. or three years.

Rumin:tions of Uncle Henry E— Dear Editer, 1 am writin tiese nerd tew limes because there is'a lot od talk going about politicks ani candi- dates, etc. Peple that dont do as much think- in a8 1 do, and there is a lot of folks that way, dont reallize some things vhat they had ought to, and it is for there benifit that I am writin, This little town that we have got here is rappidly growin into a citty as fast as it can and nowbis the time for us to keep our eyes open on politicks, and 80 what I am writin this evenin while it applys to all elecksions for whatsomever they may be, it would ve more forcable iff 1 was talkin just about a citty elecksion, but some boddy maybe get mad if I was to say such things at such a time. and they would think I ment them when if 1 did I wouldnt dast to let on I did. Peple has a way of settin around careless like until it is to late to do anything—lockin the barn after the horse is stole, as the sayin is. So, in the matter of politicks, they set around and dont pay much attension to things and try to get to the hart of publick questions, and when it is " [time to vote, they maybe think they cant leave there work, and if they do vote they vote for the man there party has put up even if they think he aint much account, and they say | afterwards that in votin for there party man they was votin for prinei- pels. That has been tried long enough. - I beleave ih votin for the man hisself espacally in offices clost to home. Blamed if 1 care what the mayer of this town or the governer of this staté thinks about free silver or a high pertecktive tarruf. 1am in- terrested however in knowin whether -{he has got grit enough to deel with ‘What's become of that “clean-up ‘day”’ the Woman'’s Club was going to " conduct in Lakeland? Two or three ‘such days wouldn't hurt if at the . end some of the vacant lots and wild ~ back alleys were brought up to the ‘standard, which should prevail all over this pretty town.. The Florida peach crop does mnot get killed as often as the Georgia - crop, hence does not get so much ad- vertising—but it gets there just the same. It hardly ever fails, and for Aavor it surpasses its Geopgla cousin.

I've seen its newspapets and they're By no other institution is a community so surely—and so fre ently sized up as by the newspaper 'sent out from it, which falls into the ds of many who form from its ‘make-up and general character their Impression of the place ofl its yuhll- tion, We very heartily endorse the ar- ‘flclib of Prof. Wm. Hood, of Bartow, feccntly published in these columns, urging an amendment to the State pension laws that will permit new- mers to the State to become eligi- for peénsions after three years’ residence. The last pension act, ‘passed in 1909, excludes from its Benefits all old soldiers or their wid- Ows who immigrated into Florida ce 1895, We feel that this in- ice is due to an oversight in ming the law and not to any in- tion on the part of its framers to M otherwise than generously with old soldiers.

The| house fly is the most terrible single eflemy that mankind has. Tigers and| scrpents have slain their. thousands, E but this .prowler in the home has slain his tens of thousands. Of all pests he s the most filthy, of all pur- veyers of disease the most, ‘deadly. The “house fly is born in oaxdno- where else. And his life is in keep- ing with his birth. He lives, to the| day of his death, in filth. _' ma- nure pile, the cuspidor and the cess- pool are his home. hatnts that he eomes to vul; the Kitchen, the dining room and ' the nursery. 'He drags his fithy feet across the bread and the sugar bowl, dips: them in the butter, wipes them on the meat and bathes in the milk. He seeks out the sick room and chil- dren with the summer complaint, of typhoid fever patients .and sips the excretions of consumptives. Then he flies té the ‘kitchen and deposits the poisan on -the rim of the milk bottle, and to the nursery where he lights on the baby’s lips, his feet all gummed. up with | poison pus. - He gathers scarlet fever cpores and | car- ries the ‘'diphtheria mierobe ‘and Dlaces it where its awful death may come and go with the baby’s breath. [ts summer day is misspent if it fails to scatter on the breeze Bome germs of disease. Keep 2 snake or two about the house if 'you are fond of reptiles; but kill every house fly as you value your life and the life of your children. Do not buy groceries, or bread, or fruit, or milk of any degler who is ‘not as particular as you are yourself, There Would be little typhoid fever with- out the house fly, and very 'little chance for chdléra infantum. .And| there can be no flies where there is not filth. ‘Take every owortul"y to swat the fly.—Ex. ) cm‘im SHOULD TAKE "HEED, ; 4 An item in a country paper shows that perhaps there are some of our county candidates who are not fully up on the primary law. : The item referred to, avo the' Dleasant litsle story of how a promi- nent candidate had given hlfi heck toward the building fund of @ cer- tain church. ‘I‘he object, of courle was . very tommendable, but the law of Florida |says that “No. peuon who h n‘mn- er person ‘to do 8o m‘hh. money, lnhxluiiu/ ligs pther thin; of value' to l)x assoclation | ‘or_ corporation tempt to direct or indirectly infinen any person’s yote for an sgainst a 1t is from these' fiflflufiflflflflflflflfiflfla | [Political announcements will be accepted and inserted in this column for one month or-less for $5.00, or will be’ carried daily until date of election for §1¢.00, This fee MUST | be paid in advancc.] FOR STATE SENATOR. | To the Democratic Voters of Polk County: 1 beg to announce my mduhc; for the office of State Senator from this district, subject to the action of the Democratic primaries, the ‘date . of which will be annoupced later.
