P ] “Julepiterous June" they are call- ing it—but why? Haven't seen any juleps. The Bradentown Journal has a new head. It is too large, though we wouldn't go so far as to state tirat the paper had the big head. The difference between the work- ers and the shirk is that the workers never shirk and the shirkers never wWork. The Starke Telegraph has con- tracted the linotype fever, and has established among its readers a “Lin- otype club,” the members of which pay five years' subscription in ad- vance. The people are loyal 1o the Telegraph and are joining the club in large numbers. The Kissimmee Valley ette ap parently goes on the principle that nothing is too good for its clientele, It has secured the services of J. Hugh Reese, one of the ablest newspaper men in the State, and competent to edit the columns of a metropolitan aaily. The weekly papers of Florida are certainly setting a standard of excellence not equalled by the press of any other section of the country We don't blow much about our band, which is quite capable of do- ing its own blowing, but when the filsslmmr-e Journal says they have the best band in the State over there, blowed if we'll stand for it. The best band in the country—and we don't mind taking in even more territory than that, if put to it—considéring the length of time it has been or- ganized, and the amount of practice, is right here in Lakeland. Compared with the dulcet strains it discourses, that Kissimmee band sounds like the midnight wailings of a lot of cats on the back fence. No other ageney in a community i~ 80 constantly on the watch-tower of community interests as the news- paper more enterprising than other mem- bers of the community, bnt because it is in the very nature of the busi- tess to boost and guard the public not because the editor s interests, The same is not true in s0 large a measure of any other busi- ness, The newspaper is something of a spokesman and representative for the community. lts effectiveness in its peculiar and rather important work depends entirely upon the loy- alty of the community in giving it the patronage that it must have to naintain a creditable standard.— Starke Telegraph.

RUMINATIONS of UNCLE HENRY OO0 ORI IO OOOO0 Dear Editer, I bave not writ to you ir some time, bein busy entertanein 2 cousen of Marthy’s from California and his wife. 1 am glad it is over. Marthy is all right, but she has got some of the blamedest relations any man ever married into. This here teller, Simpson Dodge was his name, near wore my patsence out braggin on California. | was on the pint about a hundred times of tellin him to go back there. He calls it “The land of the settin sun.” 1 got tired of heerin it. | told Marthy one day ihat if he sayed any more about the settin sun | would say somethin to take his pride down a noch or two. And the next day, he was talkin about the grand and noble senery in the “land of the settin sun.” | spoke up and says I, "I gether from what you have sayed .that that there sun tn California does a hepe of settin, Has it hatched out anything yet?” says 1. He laffed 2 spell, and says, “You are all right, Uncle Henry, | am lookin forrerd to the day when you will come to viset us, and see: for yourself the manny beautys to be seen in ‘the land of the settin sun.” " My remarks never fazed him at all. | told Marthy, and she sayed ir I was trying to entertane Sim with jokes, I had begun on a pretty lame one to her notsion. Marthy always sticks up for her relations, and it wint a good joke. | can see that, but it was all 1 could think of that would apply to the pint under dis- cussion, and | haing thought of any bet or sence, 1 had to say comethin, but what good did it do? None, at all. It minds me of the time that \ seoen Luella Walker's hoy tor the first time two years old, and his turned up towards the hevens so far that a body knowed it would never resume o propper shape. Well, aint it too bad,” says Marthy, “that that child has got such a snub nose?"” “Why, he aint at all, says Luella. "It is perfeckly lovely. 1 love snub \ivrthy He was, | guess, aboug nose was !r_w-d if he has to send his children l'o a school bildin which aint bijt ac- cordin to modern idees of light and ' air ,and he is going to be pertickeler | One of the most important ways to| shove our hull school sistem along ! than is the case.

If you can show them wherein there own) state aint all it is eracked up to be, they will up and say that that is the way they like things. Yes, we could larn a few lessens from them | guess. Lakeland has got some good and loyel citezens and then again there is some which starts to run down the town whenever somebody else s braggin on it. I & man comes down and says he is glad to get away from the howlin blasts of winter in the north, they will up and say, “Well you will find it gets pretty cold here,” and if somebody speaks of the lovely climate of Florida, they ap and say that it gets awful tiresome If any body speeks how the value of propetty is advancin here, they up and =ay they think it will take a sudden drop some day.

Some peple will be wantin to know my opinion on the subjeck, and L am in taver of another bildin on the other side of town, This town i all ready o big for all the skol- ars to have o go to one bildin, Then there is the matter which has been mentioned of the yard bein too s mall where the school now stands for any nore bildin to be put on that ground. I am in faver of this idee. A school bildin had ought to be where there i¥ plenty of light and fresh air, and there had ought to be room for the childern to play out doors, and the n:ore of such room there is the bet- ter it will be. The time to make a helthy body to my motion is when the body is growin up. A lot of tresh air, and light, and exersise when a child is growing up will do more good towards givin him a good helthy body than a hull drug store of pattent after he is| crowed up. medisine In desidin on grate subjecks, we for future generrations.
