A CoNvICT's GRATITUDE.-Judge
Robinson, of the Criminal Court, re-
ceived box day or two since from
Jacksonville, which on opening. dis
closed a nice little set Of gardening
tools. As the Judge unpacked them,
he wondered who could have been
the donor, when down at the bottom
of the box was found q letter from
Jim Sherwood, who several months
since received a scholarship to the
State Industrial Institution at the
recommendation of Judge Robinson
in his official capacity as Judge of
the Criminal Court. The letter re-
turns thanks to the Judge for send
ing him there, and pronounces it the
best thing that could have happened
him.
That man has genuine gratitude in
his heart.
