A lady which looked like she was in arnest an well menin an all that aproched me on the sunbjeck of that there round place up above _\'(nn" dore. She saveg it looked sort of emty an vacent to her. Now mind, it dos kind of give a body that idee as it is an mebbe you an Mrs. H. likes it that way, but I am jest men- sionin the subjeck as it was brung np to me. She sayed in her estimasion it to call such an election in' St. Johns county for April 2. [§) Dr. Fdererick Cook, who says that he discovered the North Pole, is lec- turing in Florida. We don’t know whether Doe got to the Pole or not, but we feel sure that he discovered enough cold weather in trying to do 0 to give him a permanent appre- eiation of the best winter climate on earth—which is probably why he came to Florida. PHTSESS D Senator Fleteher put the whole argument in tabloitd form when he saifl that after reading Stockton’s plea why he should be clected sena- tor as sct forth in the Jacksonville Metropolis the only tangible point he was able to see in it was that Stockton wanted the office. Sorry for you, John, but your name must still remain on the waiting list. 0 Today, monday, is your last opportunities to register it you want to vote in the June primary. Of course if you don't want to vote flon't need to register, but, bein American citizen living in a self governing country of which you are one of the governors, the presump tion is that you do want to vote. But you are a governor who doesn't help to govern unless you do vote and its mighty certain that you won't unless you register. ‘you an The Miami Metrcpolis contributes this to the egg Wiscussion recently appearing in the Telegram: “‘Some one has written to the diakeland Telegram commenting upon the over-stocked egg market in Lakeland and urging an arrange- ment for storing eggs there. We are curiously wondering if the people who have been unabie to sell their eggs to the home merchants are try- ing to dispose of them among the home people at wholesale prices. Lakeland probably needs a public market just as Miami does.” O Our most useful and capable pub- lic servants are hardly ever brilliant and showy men, 1 this is especial- ly true in Congr and the various legislatures. The hard work, the work that coun committee rooms ana there is no chance for display there. It is plod- ding and digging and the real work of plain, common sense thinking. That is where sucn men as Spark- man of this district and others like him have made their reputations and earned front seats as men of leading influence. In this connection the following from the Orlando Sen- tinel is pertinent: “The St. Augustine Meteor says that Congressman Steve Sparkman is a slow coach. Mr. Sparkman has never been accuscg of being bril- liant, so far as ve know, but he seems to have made a faithful and effective representative. So long as a representative is doing his duty and getting the things that he goes after there is no excuse for swap- ping him for an inexperienced man 0ld Uncle Steve may be less of a slow coach than the Meteor things.™ is done in the PRESNET ——— Our dispatches today tell a dis- tressful story of the terrific blizzard raging up north, the worst since 1888, involving widespread suffer- ing better imagined than described. If the old gentleman from Olio who told us in the Telegram office the other day that we had nothing in Florida worth the having except winter climate had to stick his nose for a few hours into that home- grown blizzard today we suspect he would rate our winter climate so highly he would be glad to pay a tancy price for some of it even if he hag to take our despised Florida sand with it. hayy ought to be filled in with a por- trate of someboddy prominent in the feald of letters. That is a funny way of sayin it but I ketched on to her idee. She meens somehoddy which can write pretty good, an while I aint one to pat myself on the back, I could sce by the way she | looked an all that she was meenin me, an so | thought 'l had better | mension the subjeck to you, an you fean do as vou see fit in this mat- ter, | But if you was to make up _\'vux" mind to want my portrate put up there in some endurin form, I \\'mm” be willin to allow you to do so, an I am sertip it would attrack atten- Ll pamsin | byt ieie opDeraiie s g ul:”“ South Kentucky avenue. rooms were beautifully (lwml’:ltw” ‘Week of Prayer at .

Opn the subject of peeple from afar vomin here and makin disparagin remarks, | see a geod manny turists from standin around up town in spare an lesure moments an gettin to talk with them. Turists is like peeple in generel, some is good-look- in any some is ugly as a mud-fense, an most of them has got good man- ners an some haint. Some of them don't stop an refleck that in criti- sizin this fare citty which is our home, they had ought to do so with the same consideration an cawsion that is used in critisizin a feller's house. | don't ming a frend sayjn he/d like my house better if the porch was bigger or somethin. I will let him do so. if he will speek in humbel and mild tones of voise. But if he was to say, “Good Lord, Henry, why in the name of all that is good an holey, did you rune your house stickin that there little two by four porch on to it? 1 wouldn't have this house as it is as a presious gift. Up north we wouldn't let a feller bild a poreh like that,” an so forth for a while, would I set still an let him say it? No, sir. And so, Mr. H., let it be in citty affares. Them which makes remarks in a helpful or a humble spirit will be listened to with respeck an pashence an them which lifts up their voises in a vane an bostfull sperrit Adesirin reely just to make a loud noise wheh will show this town what a big holler a small man can make, such as them will be delt with oth- erwise.
