It cost only about $7 cover America, according to some old records recently discovered, which contain itemized expenditures of the expedition conducted by Columbus, Grafting evidently was not good in those days. They had a prize fight up at Ocala on July 3, and the Star, of that city, has been busy ever since in a plucky defense of its community, which has been eriticised somewhat by certain pious publications of the State, We are not going to participate in the discussion further than to suggest that one of those prize-fighters was “made in Ocala™ —or, at least, grown in Marion and they ought to have the right to exhibit their home pro- ducts up there. ’ , a Georgia men-—or things claiming t» be men—dragged an unfortunate woman from her house, in Dawson, stripped her of her clothing and lashed her with a horsewhip until she fainted. Her offense was that sho was being run after by a depraved young whelp, said to be a son of one of the men who administered the whipping. It is hard to believe that such a thing could hapen in the South, and in Georgia of all places, where southern chivalry is believed to hold sway. That the woman was bad is no defence for the brutes who by their action put themselves so far beneath her. There are several things in Lake- land that this paper has been asked to “jump on” by the people who wouldn’t have the moral courage to jump on a pismire if they thought they would lose a penny’s worth of business there When there something or somebody that really needs to be “jumped on,” or when (h.e jumping on will result in more good than harm, this paper will not be found remiss in its duty. At the same time it is not going to adopt the role of a common scold, nor in- jure the community by holding up to the public gaze every objection- able thing that can be dug up. Lake- land is better in every respect than most towns of its class, and certain defects in its utilities, public con- veniences, etc., are being remedied as rapidly as possible. Instead of “jump- ing on” the things that dom’t suit us, let us all puli together for the ob- taining of improved conditions. is rmonths ... . ! 3 . 1etery visitor 1o the office with charm: *luleasure of mu Well, they'll make a fine crop of young Democratic the mereary Post. to get down, PRESIDENTS AND CHURCHES every honor. | WOULD MAKE A | MODEL PRES!DING OFFICER. | The church connectjons of the va | The Lakeland Tel am is strong- [and vice presidgney offer 1y advocating the election of Hon.

It a'so said that from that particular in- stitution have gone more younz wo- men whose destination is the street, than from any other institution on earth. | On one side is the collossal fortune piled up from the labor of underp2id employes. On the other side are the ruined lives, the sorrow and the de- gradation as a result of the immenso fortune Society has failed to sdlve some of these puzzles and is vet far from fixing the blame for the tragedies so often told in the daily pres: — Miami Herald.
