It is an event com- monplace in itself because it comes with annual regularity and has no very sensational features about it, ' but no right-thinking parent fails to ! realize that it is a day of very large ¢ importance both to him and to his child and indirectly to the whole community. i But does he look at the opening day of the public schools with the keen, practical scrutinizing interest that he should, considering how much he has at stake? Perhaps not, and for that reason and for his ben- i efit we reprint the following from a western exchange which is just as true in Florida as in Michigan and 18 worth the thoughtful attention of every parent in this state: “Parents of Saginaw, your chil- dren are going back to school next i month. Do you realize the impor- '\ tance of this event? Do you appre- clate the fact that the school room B and the school grounds are the home of the boy and girl for approximate- 1y two-thirds of thelr waking hours, five days in the week? Do you ful- i 1y comprehend that your child’s phy- ji slcal welfare and mental develop ment hinge very largely, on the en- vironment and the conditions of (v} T B The Evening ‘Telegram| Published every afternoon from the fand, Florida, as mail matter of the M.

Go to school and learn your llesson, too, if need be.” —_— There has been no more rotable industrial revival in Florida recent- ly than that of the tobacco industry up in Gadsden county. It boomed mightily six or seven years ago and flourishing tobacco farms sprung up all over that region. Quincy was quivering with the impetus of the movement, her hotels crowded with buyers .and speculators, and eighteen miles away the brand new little city of Havana sprang into existence on the basis of tobacco. No part of Florida was more prosperous, but the bottom dropped out with disas- trous suddenness, prices went far below the point of profit and gloom settled upon one of the fairest parts of Florida. But the mysterious lost factor in the prosperity of that sec- tion has been found, and Quincy is again throbbing with life, her to- bacco barns bursting with the gar- nered staple, buyers and speculators are again thronging to the scene and the old flush times apparently restored in full force. South Flor- ida leads, of course, and probably always will, but the great tobacco region lying west of the Suwannee seems to be striving for second place. . s gy S, The death and burial in Tampa of his lamented father brought back to that city from Washington Mack Cathcart, a well-known former news- paper man of this State who has friends all over Florida, and the fol- lowing concerning him from the Tampa Tribune will be read with in- “Now is the time to think of these ! matters which are of paramount in- terest to you.

War is more than Sherman sald it was; it 18 several of them, and the invasion of our neighbor republic at the call of American dollars invested there would be mon- strous folly for which we would be paying in blood and trcasure for years to come. The conquest of Mexico would mean the eternal ha- tred of the Mexican people and we may need them as friends before many years. e e Major Butler, of the Inverness Chronicle, burning with a righteous indignation which newspaper men can easily appreciate, forgot his life- long membership in the Society of Total Abstinence from Profane Ex- pletives and remarked in the last issue of the Chronicle: ‘“What would you think of a man going to the banks here and look- ing over the letters of Managers Singleton and Fender to find out how they were doing! Well, that is no worse than parties coming to the Chronicle office and looking over copy and exchanges. Damn the whole crowd, say we.” : (e — In commending the chaste loveli- ness of “September Morn,” Major Butler of the Inverness Chronicle speaks of Cupld and says that “the only clothes she has on is a bow and |. arrow... Have a care there, Major! There is a popular impression found- ed on good evidence that Cupid is terest and pleasure by all of them: many friends, while regretting the sad oc- casion which brings him to Tampa, are pleased to see him and to extend personal congratulations on the fine record which he is making at Wash. Kk of In addition to his dutles as |ing by the First National Bank o e private secretary to Senator Fletch-,Pensacola, to which we have hereto-|1 er, Mr. Cathcart is clerk of the Sen- ate committee on printing and his efficiency and industry have won for him a high standing amoag the Sen-| Everybody predicts a very bright future for ‘Mack’ and he has already done much to justify the confidence of his friends and ad- The Mexican situation is not a problem to be solved in a day or a week or by the wisdom of any one man, and any attempt to hurry it unduly might result in sparks that would ignite all that combustible mass down there with consequences And above all his sex now would compel the re- construction of all the Cupid statu- ary, painting and poetry in exis- tence. e—— .;Perhaps taking the hint from the recent new departure in advertis. fore referred, nearly thirty business firms in Bartow have taken a Dage, ad in the Bartow -Record, confined mainly ta a writeup: of the advan- the firms appearing in -small boxes at the bottom of the:page. To ad- vertise Bartow is to help the busi- ness of each one of those firms. | The reaction against the recent criticism of Senator Bryan for an- tagonizing the postmaster general on the question of Increasing the parce] post weights and reducing the rates, has set in, and some of the leading papers of the State are strongly resenting the hasty and un- just denunciation of his course. Senator Bryan gave exccllent reas- ons for what he did and we have nowhere seen any adequate reply to them. ————— J0RE0H CACRORHCAONHCROROHCHCE KBORNONCK KBH00R -4 <} % AUGUST 23 IN HISTORY X 1885—U.
