Our eolored population residing near

advantages to the utmost, one combina-

out a staging, away into the water,

away on them with a paddle. Whether
the clothing itself can stand the strain,

Nothing can be more delightful du-
ring the present weather than stroll
down the side of the Lake. The or
ange groves are loaded with their
golden fruit, the fig and pomegranate
are grand in their foliage, while lovers
of nature find pleasant pastime in gath
ering specimens Of the various shells
washed ashore by the waves, at the
same time enjoying the health giving
breezes waited from the Gulf of Mexico.

MEDICAL quacks, who have never
graduated and who know no more
about medicine than a hog does
about snipe-shooting, and who, by
their unskillfulness and ignorance,
murder hundreds annually, should not
be tolerated in this state. The pres
ent legislature would earn the undying
gratitude of thousands, and save at
least, annually, 500 residents of Mime
sofa from filling untimely graves, by
enacting a stringent law for the purr
pose Of suppressing quacks in the

The Rush City Post thinks it is too
late to attempt to effect any change
in the "county divisions this year, as
there is not sufficient time to get the
matter properly before the legislature
at this session. We fail to see why
it IS too late; no petitions are neces-
sary; if the proposed division is not
satisfactory to the people interested
they can vote the matter down. Chi
sage and Isanti counties have s.nothing
to lose and everything thing to gain
by pushing this scheme ahead. Mile
Laos county is interested somewhat.
and we are assured that the senator
and representative from this district
are ready to aid in securing the neoes-
sary legislation. Then why is not the
present as good q time as any?

HERE is something in reference to
the village organization which is
worthy Of consideration. If the vii.
lage authorities assume control of the
streets, roads and bridges within the
limits Of the village, the money raised
in the township Of Princeton outside
of the village must be expended on
the roads and bridges Of the town.

Licensed a wife's fond heart to break,
