The trou- bie with many a woman is she had rather have paonle turn and look after her than be a Christian. LT Ay 8 The editors are all telling in their papers what a grand time they had at the press meeting, It was the test in point of attendance, as well ar in its pleasant and instructive fea- tures that the association has held for years. e e ol They are fixing to give Frank C.ark some rough sledding in his next race for Congress, The Pensa-| cola Journal remarks “the new dis- trict is decidedly Progressive, and the | Norwich, a deputy judge of its city| Honorable Frank is decidedly the other way.” To which the Ocal Star adds: “We don’t know about the entire district, but we are willing to bet that any Progressive Democrat con beat him in Marion county.” Still, the Hon. Frank will fool yon “if you don't watch out.” — Men will spend in a single day, fuolishly and frivolously, and for things they were better without, any-! where from a dime to a dollar, and thirk nothing of it; but let it ne suggested that some great and neces-| sary improvement, such as providing| schools for the community's children, | may incerase their taxes a dollar a year—and they see the poorhouse staring them in the face right now, That kind of a man isn't much of a: man. Are you that kind of man?| Your vote on school bonds next Sat-‘ urday will be the answer, o There is a mistaken idea that an immediate bond issue of $l.‘.0.000' for municipal improvements is con- templated. No steps looking to this action have been taken, and it is not likely that such an issue will be at- tempted in the near future. 1t is true that the improvements for which it is suggested these bonds be fssued would be of great benefit, but they can wait for awhile. The dis-| cussion of the issue by the city coun- cli was merely tentative and there i3 no intention to spring any such proposition hastily or prematurely. Tor the immediate present we can take care of the bonds already out- standing, and the $50,000 for schools, without anybody being hurt, and 1t will be time to take up further im- provements later. The latter can wait, the school matter can not. — s It will be a revelation—an amusing revelation—to the people of Florida| te learn that “J. R. Parrott now rules Florida, and has evidently cast terror into the hearts of the resi- dents of that district.”” This and other nonsensical statements are at- tributed to Amasa Plummer Flagler, who claims to be the nearest blood relative to H. M. Flagler, with the exception of the latter's son. Amasa declares that Flagler died in an old €llapidated house, away ont on a bleak samdy stretch of beach, and fsolated from the rest of the com-; munity. He intimates that J.
