Use Odenta for the teeth, prepared
only at the Putnam Pharmacy.

The rumOr current in Palatka and
Gainesville that Maj. George P. Fowler,
Of the Florida Southern Railroad, had
committed suicide in Ocala, is altogether
without foundation. The joke has been
serious, in that Mrs. Fowler is now sick
in bed from the shock.
We were informed last night that a
broken rail on the F. c. & W. r. R., be-
tween Ellaville and Live Oak, threw one
of Leve & Alden's sleepers from the track
and completely demolished the car. No
one was hurt or other damage done save
several hours delay of the arrival of the
train In Jacksonville yesterday.
Capt. R. A. Labree is still making a
boom in Georgetown; his mill is ready to
furnish orange boxes to the foremost
fruit county in the State, and his hotel is
nearly ready for occupancy. Such men
as this are making Florida grow out of
her old clothes, and they willall vote the
Democratic State ticket. The Captain
comes from the North but he is FIorid-
ian all over now.
Thos. Harris was fined by the Mayor

he made an effort to escape by
Jumping on an outgoing train, but the
policeman also boarded the train and re-
captured him. He now languishes in jail.

That Flag of the 1st and 8rd Fla.

That Flag of the list and Bird Fla.
We have received the following touch
ing letter from one who followed the
flag through tempests of shot and shell.
He writes US that he read our description
of the relic in its present condition Wild
dimmed eyes, and a heart filed with
memories of the old life in bivOuac ami
on battlefield. He was captured two
days after Franklin fight and saw the
old flag for the last time at Murfreesboro.
Under the shade of his orange trees the
veteran lives the old time over again, and
in dreams hears again the old cries and
feels again the old thrill of joy and exul-
tation or the bitter shame of defeat but
his letter is more eloquent than any
words of ours can be A.:
Editor PALATKA DAILY NEWS:
1t is unusual for me to do more than
read the papers, but your account of the
dear old flag followed so long awakens
memories long hid and brings tears to
eyes all unused to tender drops. God
bless the hands that have cared for the
folded relic, and the hearts which yet
cherish lovingly the glories rolled in its
folds On its four corners one name
Is omitted which should be placed there
in letters Of gold. Its old followers
know that Franklin is not the least of
the great struggles we have seen with
that bit of loved silk for our guiding
star. Its bearer, S. J. Spraulden, was
captured near Atlanta, with the flag in
his bosom, and after his return proudly
showed it to us, safe and sound. I can
never forget the smile on his face or the
cheers with which the regiment greeted
the sight of its emblem again. 1t seems
almost impossible that l should have
been unknowingly so near the flag under
which I have seen comrades fall and
brothers die have felt the proud exul-
tation of victory and have bowed in the
agony Of defeat.
Yours, very truly,
ONE OF THE BIRD FLORIDA.

your contemporaries of the independent
republican press are not moving forward

with doing its whole duty, nor even the
weightier part of it, that contents itself
with trailing along behind, and simply

The st. Adams Messenger says THE

correctness of some of its figures " in the
showing it recently made of Vermont's
condition. The Messenger says it " OBJ
tanned its statistical information from the
official census reports of 1870 and 1880 !"
that 1t did not give exact figures, but I" for
convenience, used round numbers, which
were sufficient for the purpose of compar.

observes that THE WAToHMAN ais not

contentedly expresses its willingness that
The WATCHMAN " should continue to put
the worst side out in regard to the ma
terial interests and prospects of Vermont"
but it does not take the trouble to show
wherein the statistics we gave, and which
were also taken from the census reports,
falsely represent the condition of the state.
1t processes "no disposition to conceal
anything in the situation that may appear
unfavorable," aud shrewdly coniectures
that THE WAToHMAN has some purpose
to serve in the use it has made of census
statistics. 1t is entirely correct. We

Obituary..

KfLBoURNE Mrs. Sally Dearborn, wife OF
the late DR.. Ralph Kilbourne of Montpelier
died at the residence OF her son, in Elgn, III
on the 26th ut., in the eighty-sixth year Of her
age or her nine children, only three survive
her-Dr. E. A. Kilbourne, superintendent OF
the state hospital for the insane at Elgin DR..
Horatio Kilbourne of Aurora, Ill.,, and Mrs.
Sawyer OF Cedar Falls, Iowa. Many OF our old
residents will remember Mrs Kilbourne as q
lady Of estimabe character and rare Christian
virtues.
CRoss--On the oath of February the COM
munity was saddeued by the death Of Paulna
Parker, wife OF Deacon M. G. Cross. On the
23d OF December, 1881, she was stricken with
paralysis so severely as to nearly deprive her
OF the use OF her limbs. Since that time, al
| though partially helpless, she has suffered
very little, and was apparently cheerful and
happy. On the afternoon OF the 23d, while
cOnversing with a neighbor, she was again
visited with another stroke, from which she
never rallied, and at about nine o'clock the
, next morning calmly and peacefully raised to
that land where the earth-worn and weary are
at rest. She was born in Corinth, February
| oath, 1872, her death occurring on her seventy
| second birthday. She was married to M. G.
Cross little over fifty years ago, and soon re-
moved to Orange, where they. have perma-
| nently resided. The death-angel never visited
this family before. OF her three daughters,
two are married and reside In town, and the re-
naming one was with her mother during the
| long period OF helplessness, before mentioned,
and with the most devoted care rendered her
last days comfortable and happy. She became
a member of the Congregational church in this
place at the date of its organization, nearly
| eight years since. Her life-work was nobly
| done-not in ostentatious public display, but
with a true, earnest, Christian love and sym
pathy for all Besides tendery caring for her
own family, for twenty years the children of
her half brother, Caleb Laid, were under her
protecting care, Mr.. Ladd being resident of
India during that period. Indeed, her whole
life has been that of cheerful toll and sacrifice
for others, her love and sympathy being ex-
| tended throughout the entire community
which now unites in paying tribute to an
earnest, sincere Christian, who abounded in all
courtesy, scorned all deceit. and who never
failed to follow in the path OF duty, whitherso-
ever 1t led. Her children arise up and call
her blessed; her husband also praiseth her. I"
Universal sympathy is extended to the family
in this sad bereavement which loving Father
has been pleased to visit upon them. " Cast
thy burden upon the Lord and he shall sustain
thee; he shall never suffer the righteous to be
| moved - T.

tions of fresh and wholesome reading.
Local news is matter of special care
and exertion. General state, domestic and
foreign news is carefully summarized.
Subjects of vital state and national inter-
est are treated fully and independently.
In these, and in all other respects, the
weekly issues of the paper will be the
best exponent of its merits and its ca
pacity to meet the just requirements of a
state paper and in this respect, as in the
case of many other things, the general
worth and character of the paper must be
determined not by single issue, but by
the average quality of successive issues.
The state and the nation are entering
upon momentous political canvass, the
progress and developments of which
deeply interest every citizen. The
WATCHMAN will enter vigorously into
this canvass, and will be made paper
which no Vermonter can afford to be
without. So we ask our new friends to
devote themselves assiduously to the bust.
ness of acquaintance-making, and we have
no doubt the outcome will be thoroughly
good and mutually satisfactory under
standing. To this end, THE WATCHMAN
will industriously devote itself. The at
tention of former Freeman subscribers is
asked to business notice on the first page.

"PEoPLE seem to be contented with
pretty good well enough as good as
the average all that is required; ! and
they are apt TO shelter themselves behind
one or the other of these phrases, if you try
to arouse them to something better. This
weakness, this failure to come up to any
thing more than what is merely passable,
seems to be want of courage, combined
with want of energy-in plain language,
mixture of cowardice and laziness."
These words of William Everett are not
entirely inapplicable to the view which
some of the men and newspapers of this
state seem to have of the principle which
should control the choice of the men who
make and execute the laws, or administer
the affairs of the state. They are worth
bordering at this time.
