Neither { of these people were selling to deal- {ers, both doing business in direct competition with our business men ! who pay a license as well as a prop- erty tax, and it is an injustice to the latter that both of them could not be realized under the law. One of them was as much a peddler as the other, and neither of them should have been permitted to do business without a license. But the Legislature is pow- erless to protect local merchants againsy the ‘inter-state' peddler.” —o SOME FACTS ABOUT THE LITTLE BALKAN NATIONS.

RN N, The extraordinary growth of Flor- ida is attested, no matter from what point of view the subject is consid- ered; but no more conclusive and sat- istying proof could be offered than the figures of Comptroller Knox showing that the banking capital of Florida has mounted in ten years from '$18,000,000 to $85,000,000, which is $113 per capita for the en-| tire population of the State. R s The litigation between the State end the Florida East Coast Railroad Co., involving the title to nearly 2,000,000 acres of Everglades land, bas been compromised and the rail- rcad company takes a little less than one-tenth the land it claimed. With this settlement the East Coast Rail- road Co. ought to go out of politics in Florida and confine itself to haul- ing freight and passengers. Live Oak, like Lakeland, is lmpny} in the prospect of an early comple- tion of her cewage system, No mod- ern community, not in the village | class, should he without such a RYS- tem, and a few years hence a Florida town of any size without modern san- ' itary sewace will be hard to find.‘ and when found will not be impres- sive as a center of intelligence, enter- prise and growth, R President-elect Wilson won’t take cur advice about the matter and won't even know that we have ld-l vised him, but what he ought to do is to resign the zovernorship of Newl Jersey, disembarrass himself of all that needless burden, and thus be much better prepared to meet the thousand and one obligations, duties and petty annoyances which harrass him before his inauguration with force and volume sufficient to break down the nerves of an average citi- sen. SORNTIT S Governor-elect Trammel, like Pres- ident-elect Wilson, is going into of- fice with the good will of all people of all parties, faiths and creeds be. hind him. The Penrsacola gets it right when it says: “Park Trammell will assume the office of chief executive of this great State with the assurance that he has the best wishes and will receive the bearty co-operation of every good cit- | izen from every nook and corner of | Florida, north, south, east and west. * — We have never been able to under- | stand upon what grounds of law or | equity the State of Florida requod: to pay her debt to Colonel Wailes, ! ‘Without professing to full knowledee of the subject, the impression we | have received from reading about the case is that the State, while not ' denying the justice of the claim, thought that was too much money for the Colonel to have all at one Journai [ Bulgaria is about the size of Ohio (and has about the same population Servia is as large as Vermont and New Hampshire put together, and has more than three times their pop- ulation. ’ Montenegro is smaller than Con- lation. Greece {8 about the size of West tion. tion. From Cettinje, the capital Montenegro, on the extreme west, to Constantinople on the extreme east, is about the same distance as from Chicago to Washington. From Adrianople, where the Bul- garians are now, to Constantinople, where they want to be, is as far as from New York to Albany. DON'T WANT WHAT THEY HAVE Senator Bryan used to tell a story of a little cracker boy who was vrged by his fond mother to take £till another hot cake for his break- fiet, until he had passed the safe Lcunds of repletion. *“‘Johnny,” said the mother, “Don’t you want anoth- er cake?” “No,” sighed Johnny, “I don’t know as | want them 1 have et.” Which is a reminder of about the | bosition that the good women of take said animals out within twenty- four hours after the receipt of this notice, and upon you failing to do so, said anmals wil be sold to cover such penalty and cost as provided.

The biscuits bear the imprint of the baker, and ducks hought in the Celes- tial markets frequently show on their backs a big red stamp bearing the name of the scllor, A LITTLE NONSENSE NOW AND THFEN ; Well, Well, She said “Hello” in such sweet tones That for her wiles he fell; Now he is wed, and when she phones “‘Hello” sounds like 0——.” Reflections of a Bachelor.

Miss Mercy's doctor had called in the renowned specialist Van Tromp to dlagnose her illness, and her sis- ter Parthenia was very much worried about her, says the St. Louis Repub- lic. “I tell you what I'll do, Mercy, "’ she said; “Ill just stand behind the portieres and then when the doctors €c into the parlor I'll hear every- thing they say.” “Well, doctor,” sald the family physician, as the two entered the par- 1 lor after the examination, “what do | you really think ahout the patient?” “I think,” said the specialist as he sat down in the most comfortable | chair, “that she is the homeliest old | malid I've ever seen.” “Ah!” said the family physician, Was a considerable heigra among the | fashionable part of the feminine pop- i (vlation.

After years of discouraging and anxious fighting they recently obtained the right to vote with all its attendant obligations and privileges. Among these obligations is that of ecrving on juries, an obligation that was not taken into consideration when the fight for the ballot was be- iog made. Now that they have the ballot, the women do not show any particular degire to fulfill that other part of | their civic duties which calls them to ' do just as men do and serve on the juries of their country.
