The sclection of Richmond as the next city in which to hold the Confederate reunion was a wise one. There has been only one held there and that was many years ago and yet from the Civil War point of view Rich- mond is the most interesting of all cities. No red-blooded American can visit that beautiful | and historic community without feeling his pulses quicken, for every inch of its soil is hallowed with heroic and splendid mem- ories which appeal to the deepest sentiments of the heart—and al so Richmond people are not sur- passed on carth for hospitality.

Judge Avery still has time, but if he don’t come and Ellis beats him_in South Florida he please acquit us of all blame in the matter. AR R The various aspirants for the postoffice at [Fort Meade are tired waiting for the pie and bhave agreed to have a little pri- mary of their own on June 2d to discover which one of them has most supporters for the of- fice. Of course such a primary amounts to nothing in law, but it*® would be a fine backing of public sentiment for the man who got the majority of the votes. Vox Populi is some citizen in this country, even in postoffice ap- pointments. () Editor Woods of the Eustis Lake Region heard Senator Fletcher speak the other“day for the first time and he was so en- thused that he went right back to his office and wrote: “After hearing him we are glad to re- iterate in its entirety our edi- torial of some months ago.” And that editorial, believe us, was hot stuff giving the strongest possible endorsement to the Senator. “To retire him would be the height of folly,” was the keynote of the article. 00— The Ocala Banner promises to soon celebrate the fiftieth anni- ersary of its existence, and when that day arrives we propose to speak from our heart and say something mighty nice that excellent paper and its highly estcemed editor, DBut, unlike some of the other breth- reii, we shall not violate the unities by saying it in advance of the event. $ —_0 The renewed activity in the war department and calling on the States to find out how many of the National Guard they can put in the field in short ord:r doesn’t necessarily mean a crisis in the Mexican situation. But it does mean that we are going to be ready when the crisis arrives, and, if occasion demands, pour| such an army into Mexico as will make kuick work of the actual' fighting and the end of organized| resistance.

The people of Florida themselves can prevent this. i The escape from glutted markets {lies in diversity. The fruits ,make the finest jellies and mar- ymalades. But few of the pro- ducts of other States fail to grow i Florida. Wheat, oats, barley, rye—these can be raised, but not profitably. Apples are a foreign m.:xrblc above my dust, inscribed fruit. There are many States in with the name of the mightiest conqueror who ever brought sor- row and desolation upon the carth. Such a soldier, whether| the end came amid the battle’s crash, or after he had taken up the task of repairing the ravages of war, might well enter the sleep that knows no waking ‘as| one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him and lies him Gown to pleasant dreams.’” which more corn can be produc- ed to the acre, and yet a boy cul- tivator in the northern part of the State grew 172 bushels on a single acre last year, and another boy in Polk county raised nearly 00 bushels, as the result of a hoys’ contest stimulated by the people of several counties, Up- Jand cotton does not pay as well as in some other States, but Flor- ida leads in growing the high-! priced Sea Island variety.” | FOR COUNTY TREASURER FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER To the Democratic voters of Polk county: The many friends of Mr. T.
