SRS S (RS In the absence of State appropria- ti Georgia and Mississippi, both nfturally desirous to be represented the San Francisco exposition, are elling souvenir medals to the peo- ple, the proceeds to be devoted to pbeautiful and graphic moving pic- tures at the exposition, impressively ! illustrating the resources of those States. \E§, e i (R EREE The incomparable wisdoft of the Bible is illustrated in thousauds of texts, but in none more forcibly than this: “He that ruleth his own spirit is greater than he that tak- eth a city.” It seems at times, under i the hurricane stress of passion, as H impossible a task as to lift yourself over the fence by your bootstraps, but it can be done and is being done every day by the strong and wise, while the battlefield of life is strewn |, with the bodies of the weaklings who have failed in the test and kick around in ignoble slavery to their own tempers. —_— Lakeland is much younger than Ocala, yet at the opening of her schools the other day she had an en- rollment of twelve hundred white pupils. That tells its own story. A city cannot stand still—it must move forward or backward. If Ocala cannot keep up she must lag behind. ~—~Ocala Banner. Ocala is about to vote on a bond issu=, to provide better school fa- cilities among other things, and we may be pardoned for butting in to the extent of saying that nothing more vitally concerns the progress of a community than the matter of ample school room. The better class of people will not locate in a town where their children lack educa- tional advantages, and no commun- ity money could be better invested than in providing adequate school facilities for its children. The Ban- ner does well to refer to Lakeland as an example, for when our people discovered that school room was lacking and the pupils were crowded t0 a degree inconsistent with health, comfort and good teaching, additional room was promptly pro- vided, new buildings erected and the price cheerfully paid by citizens who realized the immense importance of the proper environment of their children at school. e e e e Fublished every afternoon from the .

Who started the war? Not I, said the Kkalser; I've been an adviser Of peace from the start. I wouldn't depart From my peaceful position On any condition. A fight I deplore; I am dead against war, Who started the scrap? Not T, says Franz Joseph. This war I'd oppose if They'd listen to me; But they will not, you see. These war-loving Serbs Are the class that disturbs My peace-loving nap; } detest a vile scrap. Who started this muss? Not I, says the czar; It gives me a jar Tothink of the shooting And burning and looting, And sacking and pillage Of city and village. I'm the kind of a Russ That despises a muss! Who started the fight? Not I, replies France; Not by any mischance Would I force the occasion For German invasion; What, though Alsace-Lrraine May become mine again— It doesn’t seem right, And it grieves me to fight- Who started this row? Not I, says John Bull; Lud, they just had to pull Me into the rumpus. Sit still while they thump us? Well, that isn't our own game, But we're grieved just the same. We abominate war; It's a thing we abhor. Who started this war? Though none will admit it, On thinking a bit, it Seems certain to us That some onery cuss, Some Kkaiser or king, Must have started this thing. Let us know, we implore, Who started this war? —Sprngfield Union. It was stated that by the first of December the railroad passenger rates between St. Louis and Chicago will be increased about $1, and rates between St. Louis and New York will be increased $2.
