I would have wrote sooner but 1 have ben bussy. We are looking for Bobbie home tomorrow nite and Clare Louise will come as soon as she is through bein bridesmades at June weddins. Marthy has ben dead set on havin the chicken house white washed inside before the chil- dren got here and I have not had time to write before this. I am sor- ry, I would like to of ben helpin you out a little with your work while Uncle Joe is away. The lot of a| rewspaper man is not what it is| | cracked up to be by them that don’t | i no nothin about it. I no a good deelt ! havin ben writin for pappers off anug on for about fourty yeers, and I have also took notis a good deel. There was a feller back wheer we used to ! live that come there to run the pa- per and he had a dickens of a time. His trubbles come about most from ! not lissenin to me. Says I, “Young! feller, dont start out with too manny rules for yourself. Do the best you can,” says I, “and let it go at that.” .' He looked at me scornfull and says.' *I callate to have one motto,’ says A contemporary, arguing in favorf, .- .ihis is goin to be the papper! cf woman suffrage, remarks ‘that there is an absolute equality of the cexes at the ballot box in Chinia.” Are conditions in China so much bet-1 . .¢ox that 1 shall ttr than our country that we should {mitate her ways of doing things? P ] A large and intelligent looking specithen of “cimex lectularius” Was piaye u logg story short, he wasn: '18hts and was admitted to tHe' bar found in our copy of the Jackson- ville Floridian when the paper was taken from the mail. Having travel- €d some 200 miles from starting peint to destination, we are con- vinced that though it has no wings at all it gets there just the same.!|ots of prizes at fares and sich with | “'0 Pe3an the practice of his profes- Edior Williamson Is up in the Norta Carolina mountains and the devil must be cleaning shop in his ab- sence. e o The taxing of incomes as small as $3,000 in our opinion, is not a well- considered adjustment of tax burd- that prints no retracksions,” says he. “I am goin to print the truth in) the first place from good awthority | stand my ground.” I says, says I, ““A church! deekin is apt to be mistaken ana! some of them will lie.” Hnwsnewr,“' ihc didnt look interrested, and to! :: interrested. { d¥Int no, which he learned later.

It would be better to allow the!undertaker's wife and asted her who limit of exemption to remain at $5,000, and, if necessary, increase the rate of taxation on the collossal ror-I tunes now so common. In this day, frcome of $3,000 is equivalent to little more than $1,000 was a decade or £0 ago. ‘ P | [ —— The Gainesville Sun has an ex- cellent editorial deploring the dis- gusting exhibition of morbid feeling cailed forth by the legal execution of a negro in that city. The hanging of the nezro brought more people to tewn than a circus, and young and old, white and black, crowded one another to get a view of the grue- ecme spectacle, which it would seem would be abhorrent to any mind of no: sensfbilities. Such a spectacle is a4 good advertisement for the culture or intellectual status of any not commiunity—though it seems that under stress of excitement persons of averate refinement indicate a tend- ency to temporary reversion to bar- barism, e Hon. Jefferson B. Browne, of Key West, declares that some years ago, thoruch the incompetence of an en- gimeer placed in charge of a Key West paving contract, that city lost over $150,000 in a suit brought by the contracting company. Warned by this disaster, when another bis contract was to be let some vears| later, they made selection of a com- petent engineer, after a careful in- vetigation of the qualifications of sev- eral who were suggested. We will finish this item in Mr. Browne's own lingnage, in order that Lakeland peo- ple may know what kind of man i3 in charge of the city’s public im- provements: “Out of them all we selected J. N. Hazelhurst of Atlanta. We put the ~work in his hands, and up until the , Present time there has been no com- ! plaint because of poor work. In fact, his services were highly satisfactory. His work was perfectly done, his con- tracts were perfectly drawn up, ana bis specifications were conclusive, He has his own lawyers employed &nd keeps his contracts up with the latest Jecisions, amending them con- stantly to meet changing conditions. | We could have obtained men for lcssl 1 money, but we wanted the work done You cannot measure brain!

Mrs. Hornwell has had a black dress kep on hands for four yeers.” Well, More he was pretty smart touched, 1 reckon and he writ up as fine a peece as [ guess I most ever seen about Jed bein smit down in the prime of life and full of vigger, and how he was | brave and kep up with the dred dis- ‘cnse nawing at his vittles, and spoke (0" in the midst of life we are in :d(-th, More told me afterwards he | wished to heevens he had left out "alout his being our z-nt(‘r‘prlsinl “I~lm-ksmith. He says they want ‘nothin' else in the peece but l\\'lmt could have ben explaned by kis poet's lisense. Any way, Jed tlornwell come down to_ghe. offis and what he done to More was a cawtion tryin to get him to say he would ex- | plane it different next and | More wouldn't promis. e n\-\'v‘r“ ¢id promis either, I give him credet | for that. You see, Jed want the one. | It was his cousen, another Jed Horn- well lived out East town that More) never had heern tell of as it hap-I renedd. The next week More wr..t-‘ vp the funeral but never mensione! anything about it not bin the black-! smith that was dead, and when th-J} Jed Hornwell that was alive read | the nice peece about the funerel, lu“ felt a little better, After that ,ohw- sumever, More statred off his deth | { | mighty unconveenent at times.” Ana be started in givin me fits because l{ ! never told him they was two Jmli Hornwells in the naberhood, and say- ing things abut fool mothers that named there children alike to start with.
