Another one of Fred DeBerry's Arrows has wingeg its way to this office, where it has failed to fill a long-felt want for some weeks. The Arrow adds much to the hilarity of iong by its humor, which is ible, because unconscious. For instance, the Arrow says: “One of the surprises of the recent pri- mary was the defeat of J. Fred De- Berry, the candidate of the plain people for Congress.” Now would you want anything any funnier than that? —_—0 Up in Orange county they are snickering over the efforts of a green court officer in the newly organized county of Seminole to find ‘‘Duces Tecum.' A writ of that character was handeq the new officer, and he mistook the title of the paper for the name of the person upon whom it was to be served. Accordingly he searched high and low for “Mr. Du- ces Tecum,” making a trip to a re- mote part of the county, and partie- ularly searching among Greek fruit stands and other haunts of “‘furri- ners,” until he was finally set right by a pitying friend. Such a mis- take could not happen in Polk coun- ty, where we have frequent lectures by Vox Populi, and are on terms of familiarity with the mandamus, the nune pro tem and other terms of legal phrasing. — In order to prove that the high cost of living is not the trouble, but rather the cost of high living, Con- gressman Frank Clark took a friend out to dinner and theater, had a glorious time on 68 cents cents each. ang they HE! If Mr. Clark continues to apply the discocery that one can live well on a little nothing in ‘Washington, ang carries the prinei- ple into all his expenditures, he can lay by a goodly sum for the or rainy day out of his congressional salary. As a matter of fact, people would be as well or better off without most of the things they and Mr. Clark’s demonstration that two gentlemen can have an ing’s outing in supposedly expensive Washington of 68 spend money for even- for an cents ought to be of value to those to whom such frugality should be an object. But, Frank, if we see you in Washington don’t pull off outlay come to any such stunt on us! o Nobody objeets to giving a negro porter on a Pullman a quarter.

Through the generosity of the char- itable public, $85 was collecteq for her, which has been expended in the following manner: For two nurses, 20 days.....$40.00 For one nurse, 40 day 40.00 Medicine 10.50 Total . $90.50 This shows that $5.50 above the amount donateq has been expended for her relief. This amount was a small balance left in the Telegram’s charity fund from the last case which was aided. This leaves no funds available for any further assistance for Miss Skelley, the nurse ! bill, as stateq above being allowed up i being practically helpless. unti] last Saturday.

N aken [ happily at two tables with a game is one which should now be t up with the idea of giving some per- manent relief. The Telegram char- ity fund has brought her from death's door to the conaition where she no longer requires a doctor’s at- tention. (an some one now suggest what would be the best method for {caring for her. The Telegram is unable to look af- ter this case further, as we are now collecting money for a poor family whose husband and father is afflict- eq with pellagra and the family are penniless. In the meantime, where IS that charitable organization that OUGHT to be organized? SRR el The Lakeland Telegram printed an editorial on the subject of trading at home that will be read with ef- fect. The newspapers preach that doctrine constantly, and practice it more consistently than any other line of business. Merchants and oth- [er business men take too little head of the work done by the newspaper to build up their lines and seldom stop to consider the obligation when the out of town printing solicitor or itinerant advertising man appears.— Orlando Sentinel. = o R = a— = WIDEAWAKE PEOPLE SAVE MONEY BY READING THE ADS.
