Harry Floyd might just as well have kept up that pedestrian prog- ress he started towards the United States senatorship. No worse to have been defeated for that office than for that of representative. o We do not believe it is justifiable to kill a bird of any species. We be- lieve every bird that flies does more good than harm, and is entitled to the friendship and protection of man. i Q- = Some one calls the editor of the Dunnellon Advocate ‘““‘an inveterate optimist.” Certainly he is. It takes an inveterate optimist to run a weekly paper anywhere, but particu- larly in Dunnellon. Ohiiecls We have all the conveniences down here in Polk county. Come and live with us and we will do thee good—if you're any good. If you're a bad sort, we'll do the best we can for you-—we're just now engaged in building a fine, commodious, new county jail. PRI They wanted to start a paper up in the Joliet penitentiary, but were unable to find a printer among the 1,500 inmates. All other trades and professions were represented—there were fifty bankers—but not a single follower of the art preservative. Printers seem to know how to dodge the Pen, anyway. —0 Editor McCreary, of the Gaines- ville Sun, thus moralizes: “A great many things never come right in this world, but the next worlg will likely square the account.’® That's the way to look at it, Mac; if you were beaten for State senator, there's always another time. Still, there's no chance of squaring thig particular matter in the next world unless you plan to go to the place whose name is sometimes useq as a synonym for politics. Ex-Governor Gilenrist's tribute to his mother, delivereq on the occasion of a belated observance of Mothers’ Day, has been printed in many of the State papers. Gilchrist is a man of many splendid traits of character, and not the least of these is his de- votion ang loyalty to his mother. He says that it was from her that he' received his ambition to be governor' of Florida—and he was one of the, best governors Florida ever had. —0 The organization of thé Florida Development Promotion Board, by a gathering of representative from all over the State, at Sanford recently, doubtless will result in some very effective exploitation of the State's resources. The organiza- tion will endeavor to get some legis- lation througt men at the next session of the Legislature to create a pub- licity fund for a persistent and thor- ough advertising campaign that will properly present the State's advan- tages to the capitalist and home- seeker throughout the country, The men selected to prosecute the work in its preliminary stages are among the most progressive ang successful in Florida, and are representative of various walks in life The State will undoubtedly benefit from this organization SRy T One Mr. Burleson, is in a fair) way to get himself disliked by peo- ple down this way e objects to what he considers extravagance in making appropriations for postoffice buildings in Florida, declaring that the amounts appropriated are be- yond the needs of the service.

Burleson pitched support given him by his team mates was wretched, costly errors enabling' the locals to pile up a score hard to overcome, Gillespie was in his usual good form, Burleson being the only one to connect with his delivery at the right times.

Comments on the Game et b s R S e e O el e e S T e e St. Petersburg is a tourist town reached by boat from Tampa, Yes, they have a bal!l team there. It must be hard for a pitcher to work like Burleson did yesterday in the hot sweltering sun and see his teammates make error after error. And when it comes to hitting, Burle- son is right there with the stick. Two two-baggers anq a single is a pretty good record out of four times at the bat. Long Smith and Short Spivey were also king of handy with the stick in yesterday's game. — T The best crowd yet saw the game, five hundred people braving the heat to watch our boys trounce the visit- ors. It is wonderful how band music Will inspire a ball player. In the second inning while the Lakeland band was playing Dixie five Lake- land boys crossed the home plate. The accident at the finish of the game is to be regretted, and it will be a wise thing for automobile driv- ers to have more care especially in a crowd like that of yesterday, Be- fore next Thursday, there will be a ......
