A merchant would not think of taking his sign down for a few days, but now and then one is found who drops his newspaper advertising “for awhile—until 1 get up something new.” The very day your advertising does not appear possible customers look at the space it wont to oc- cupy and find the advertisement of and some one that some one else else gets the business have come to you. might We dislike to encourage lazy peo- ple to come to Florida, and yet, at the same time, it looks like Florida is the lazy man’s country. The oth- er day, near Daytona, while a man was walking in his garden, a fi hawk dropped a fine two-pound blue fish at his feet, the fish flopping as vigorously as if it had just been tak- en from the water.

Wl TRIBUTE TO THE LIFE OF HON. EDWARD G. WILDER. This memorial sketch of one whose life was a guiding star to the writer 2s well as many others, is called forth by the recent passing to his fmal reward of the subject of this sketeh, a well known citizen of So- crum, Polk county, Florida. It is really worth while to live when the memories of one’s life and i .fluence places them decidedly on the side of truth and right, that go to make this world nobler, brighter and better; and it is well to keep the memories of such lives green, for they belong to the things that are undying and immortal. As my mind goes back to boy hood days, | remember him as one of the first beacon lights of Christian man- hood that loomed up on the horizou i my life. His visits to my father's home, and the high esteem in which he was held there constituted the fc undations of this, but personal con- tact and acquaintance confirmed anl intensified it Any one that intimately knew hini will remember him as a natural tease, and fond of practical jokes. | otten find myselt relating some of these and laughing over them still While an intensely religious man he was not one of the long-faced va- riety that regards a good laugh an impiety. A a business man he was a suc- cess, belng a wise and discreet man- ager of his business affairs, and was a good liver. He never aspired to more than this; his greatest aspira- tion was for the treasures ‘“over there” where moth and rust doth not corrupt, ete, As a citizen he was unassuming wnd yet influential, and his influence was always on the side of righteous- and moral uplift, But it is peculiarly as a Christian and a deacon that 1 wish to speak t him. When as a young Christian, I along with others who had recently put on Christ, began to be active in the prayer meetings and other spir- itual dear old Bethel church, Wilder was one of Pe sympathetic and co-operative spirits among the older members, He Fept this up; and young Christian vorkers and new ministerial recraits always tound in him a warm friend L activities of Brother ing called v true preacher's help- er, a more faithful deacon. This he was until the day it often said that many a good deacon is spoiled being thrast into the ministry, and | have seen cases that | thought aiswered to this. Such was not the case with Erother Wilder, however, but a mod- el deacon was crystalized out of an impression to enter the ministiy. If 1 had been going to pr reral | should have chosen D13 as my text, He was with me as a committee to report a more efficient financial system to Bethel church soon after I had become a church member, when I received my first impressions in re- sard to plan of his death, It by ach his ta- 1 Tim tithing as God's financial and advoceated it before the church, and creating a storm of op- position the older brethren weainst this reactionary youngdream or, as they among called me; and while Brother Wilder did not agree with me at the time, he was more sym- pathetic and considerate than most of the others. Some years after he adopted my views and became an active, enthusiastic leader in enlist- ing the other members in practicing Hible plan of meeting our finan cial obligation to God. He greatly deplored the poor way in which Baptist pastors were, and too generally are, supported, and was a pioneer in contending that minis- ters were largely to blame for this state of affairs by not faithfully teaching the people their duty on this line. He made a remark to me oneo that marked an cpoch in my minis- try. He said that he had been a deacon a zood many years, and there wWas one mportant pa he had never heard 1 Cor. %:14. He said he believed it was a lack of moral cour- ge of Serip- that a text ture nsed as age 1o perform a delicate duty 1t to thinking, and 1 |10 break the silenc 11 | | {put me resolved heard mu first sermon jreach the 1 card from the aboy, at Bethel irch; 1 Flor oiced, and bade me God Hoetherin i""‘ epoch in my minis s akeland News and Tele-! ne to stir up the resentment of som: : ry 10 Gov.

The tollowing points muy be noted The school an exceptionally strong faculty, nearly huali of whon| are men, and most of whom have ¢ | grees granted for graduate work in the larges institutions of the country The low figure at which the ex- pense item is put is noteworthy, It i3 astonishing what advantage: offered to the young women at a nom- inal price for actual living, and ab- solutely free for instruction of the highest grade, The college maintains six depart- wents of instruction: Graduate School, College of Arts and Sciences, Normal School, Schoo] ot Art, School of Expression, and School of Music. The catalogue makes clear that in the College of Arts and Sciences, su- perior facilities for study in all lines of a girl's cducation are offercd; in languages, both ancient and modern, in history, science, mathematics, and philosophy. Noticeable is the an- nouncement of the Home Economics department. This is the proctical side of the young woman's education. In plain words, it is sewing and cook- has s are ing, than which nothing can bhe of greater importance to the coming home-makers of Florida. The college offers instruction by experts in these lines, and the work of the depart- ment includes everything pertaining to houschold economy, such as the study of food values, houschold «hem- istry, house furnishing, et The announcements of the Normal School is also of interest. Outlined in the catalogue are conrses of instruc- tion of every kind needed to cive to teachers of the State of la an equipment their sur- passed by that of the teachers of any Flori work not for other State. In addition to instruc- tion, opportunities are offerod putting into practice in the Practice School and Kinderzarten, principles taught in the Normal School proper Special attention is drawn announcements of the School of Fine Arts— the Schools of Exprossion, Art. and Music.

Yet laughter should be a natural and easy mode of expression, spon- taneous and unaffected. At the sama time it should not be boisterous. How often one is anmoyed in a the loud, unrestrained Jaughter of someone who hasn’ learned Low to laugh well! Usually <uch laughter indicates a selfish, ego- +istical nature, or, according to Gold- <mith, it bespeaks a vacant mind. W, should be careful to cultivate . Jaugh which shall not suggest to cur acquaintances the vibrations of a1 in a barrel, The question of when to laugh is o1 no small moment. What a man finds laughable re- company by "veals pretty accurately his character. When you find him laughing at that which must be a source of grief to znother, you feel that he is lacking in =ensibility. We more readily trust the one who laughs with pee- ple than he who laughs at them. 1t is a good general rule, too, not to laugh at your own jokes. In listening to a story have you not cften been annoyed by the narator constantly interrupting himself to Jaugh at something he is going to tell, but hasn't told. You are em- barrassed that you cannot join in his laughter, and if he continue: thus to punctuate his narrative you lose interest in it. Even when the story is short and pithy it is just as well to let your listeners start the laugh. They will o it if you give them the chance, for all humans pride themselves on their xch. SOUTH FLORIDA MAKING MOST ADVANCEMENT. The Stroller has been accused o | tavoring South Florida by showing 1 partiality in his visits, This dis- crimination has never heen intended, but is only natural when all things are considered. In the first place, South Florida is exhibiting more of a go-aheadedness than is the north ern or the northwestern part of the State, and the Stroller’s business takes him largely where development work is going on-—where progress is being made. Also, it must be born: in mind that the Grower has been largely a citrus fruit paper in the rast, though we hope to broaden the field, and naturally the interest of the Grower and Grower readers has been largely in the citrus section.
