the Townsville Times says:
This is but another evidence of the great de-
mand for better and quicker communication be-
tween Thomasville and Tallahassee. But is it
possible, in this day of progress and rapid tran
sit the people OF the two places will be satisfied
with the old stage coach? The two places
ought to be linked together with bands of Steel
but if this is not to be DONE why, the Tallyho is

Townsville should be interested in the proposed
line. She would then be in position TO offer
short line to the very heart OF Middle Florida,
the capital of that State. Start the line, gentle
men, and give us a bugle blast from the old
fashioned stage horn, which will wake the
echoes 'mong the hills of Leon and Thomas.
We understand from Mr.. George c. Morgan,
who has the Tallyho stock list in hand, that a.

he will place Tallyho tickets with the regular

There seems no reason to doubt that the line

be very profitable investment. The subscrip-

A. .. Russell.

According to engagement Hon. A. J. Russell
State Superintendent of Public Instruction, ar
rived on The Naiad Thursday and addressed the
citizens in the Methodist Church Thursday
night. Although he was expected it was not
known for a certainty that he would come and
exactly when he would speak, and it being late
in the afternoon when the boat arrived full
house was not ont to hear him. However, those
fortunate enough to learn of it were very highly
entertained with the address. The speaker first
sketched in glowing and favorable terms the All
vancement education had made in the United
States, showing too that it was greatly due to
the public school system. He then drew a
striking contrast between the advancement in
the arts and sciences of the ancents compared
with modern requirements dwelling most pictu-
resquely upon the wonders accom- plished by the
anclents He next made several very happy IL
Illustrations setting forth the relation of the rich
with the poor and the children with older asso-
ciates, all tending to show that the public school
system is the most advantageous for the useful
citizen. Major Russell is very fine speaker
and seems 10 be perfectly enthused with the
work before him. He is a strong advocate OF
universal education OF the masses. 1t is 10 re-
GREETED that more of our citizens did not hear
him-which they would doubtless have done
had there been time TO have let it be known. No
parent who heard him will fail to enter his chill
dren in the public school. We hope the time for
Major Russell to visit US again may not be far
distant.
