SECURE A HOME IN THE LAND OF Et1URs
D[NSMORE!

One of tue growing towns OF the
South. is situated on both sides of
Savan ah, Florida s. Western
Railroad, just twelve miles from
Jacksonville. Fla. 1t is blgh, dry
and level, and successful horti-
cultural and truck-gl owing section
of the State. Dinsmore can be
easily reached from Jacksonville by
railroad, by water route, or by ali
hour and a half drive over an excel
lent plank aud shell road.
Dinsmore is not one of the isola-
ted spots that is only laid out on
paper, but a thriving prosperous
town that recommends itself to
capitalist and laborer, to fathers
aud wives who are vigilant over
their own interests and the welfare
Of their children, to those who are
seeking homes aud those who have
capital to invest for speculation.
The land can be obtained at re-
markably low figures and on terms
suitable to the condition of every
purchaser. At the present low
figures a poor man can make regu-
lar payments Oh valuable home
with less than the aggregate of
unnecessary expense or money act
ually thrown away. 1t is an in
veStment that one cannot regret
and through which you will realize
many times the amount invested.
The prices are for Front Business
Lots one acre, S65, $50, S35. Sec
ond choice, S25 S18. Third choice
SIS. Fourth choice $40. Fifth
choice, SIS. 1t must be remember
ed that these are acre lots.
We also have vegetable and
truck farms laid out adj ,cent to
Dinsmore, containing from five to
sixteen acres each, which we offer
for the benefit of those who wish to
farm at SIS acre.
Our terms are one fourth cash
and balance in one, two and three
years.
The chain of title will be short
and strong. 1t is from the State of
Florida to the Railroad and from
the Railroad to you.
sTruck farming around Dinsmore
would be at the door of two Cf the
greatest markets i'm the South. Let
every poor man if with but one
dollar, commence to buy lot in
Dinsmore. The fare from Jackson,
vile and return is only twenty-five
cents. Think of it. There are
eight passenger trains per day aud
the round trip will only cost TWEEN
ty-five cents. Trout creek, large
stream passes right through the
vicinity, thus affording pure fresh
water for stock, perfect drainage
and abundance of fish.
TAKE WARNING NOW, and
do not let this grand opportunity
slip you. IL is the very best chance
you will have TO secure a good
piece of valuable property and such
startling prices.
The merchants in Dinsmore are
enjoying good trade and the
town is rapidly growing. Saw
mills are convenient for securing
timber To build, and laborers who
desire work can get from dollar
and half to two dollars per day.

ONE IN CHRIST.

A Sermon Showing That the Saviour Ger
tsinly Taught the Equality of the
Sexes.
Rev. Frederick L. Hosmer, of Cleve-
land, O., preached recently to deeply
interested congregation from the text:
There is neither jew nor Greek,
there is neither bond nor free, there is
neither male nor female: for ye are all
one in Christ Jesus" Galatians, 1928. }
He reviewed the great change that has
taken place in the condition of women,
and said in conclusion:
What is to be the outcome of this
fuller recognition of woman's part and
claim in all that pertains to the gen.
eral interest and welfare, through the
last half century of our American lifep
Will she reach limit beyond which
no more advance towards entire equal
right and privilege with her brother
will be allowed, and she will ask no
morep Or is the logic of this larger
and larger recognition to break down
barrier after barrier of long-inherited
usage, until at last Abraham Lincoln's
definition of the purpose of our fathers
to found government of the peo-
pie, by the people, for the people,
shall come full-orbed in the social sky,
and in every hand over which the law
holds sway there shall be ballot that
goes to the making of that lawP
Which is the more reasonable and justP
will venture the prophecy, nor fear
to stake my reputation as prophet
thereon. l believe the time will come,
and believe that it should come--I
believe we are preparing fori in all
this enlarged interest and participation
of women in matters of public and So
ciai concern when in che rights Of citi-
zenship there will be neither male nor
female, as no longer there is distinction
of bond and free,' but all shall
be one in Commonwealth whose
higher welfare is the higher welfare of
every man, moman and child therein

WONAN'S DEPARTMENT.
THE COLUMBIA ANNEX.

The College to Give the Women Show
After ALA Move In the Right Drec-
tion.
Columbia College seems likely to es-
tablish an "Annex" for young wom-
en-. This is good sign. The growth
of the movement for higher education
is shown by the increasing tendency to
set up branch establishment for
girls by the side of each big college
that still excludes them. Neverthe-
less, the annex system can be only
temporary. 1t is lop-sided and illog-
zeal. So long as the branch establish
ment is distinctly an annex, an off
shoot and an afterthought, atfording
less conveniences and facilities than
the college proper, it is unfair to the
girls. And when it is proposed to
make the annex an Independent col
lege, with advantages equal to those
enjoyed by the young men in the way
of grounds, laboratories, library, etc,
why then, as the New York Iadepend-
emit says:
'"Thc financiering which calls for
two equal institutions, equally expen-
sive, to do the same work, one for
young men and the other for young
women, who could perfectly well be
educated together, appeals for APP
proval to prejudice more than to
reason.
The redactio nd abSurdun, of the sys-
tenn is to be found in such case as oc-
Cured few years ago at Harvard.
The elective class in Sanskrit at the
university consisted of one young man;
the elective class at the annex, of one
young woman. The Sanskrit pro-
fessor had to give every lecture twice
over each time to an audience of one,
because the traditions of the venerable
university did not admit of those two
students listening to a lecture together.
Human common sense is not going to
stand that sort of thing forever. Every
college that says A--Annex-will
sooner or later have to say Booth
sexes admitted. Meanwhile. an annex
for girls is vastly better than nothing.

A Cargo of Mo nkeys.


A,Freheh paper relates y good story
about merchant in Marsoilies who
wrote to q correspondent on the coast
of Africa asking him to send him at his
convenience two or three monkeys of
the rarest and most valuable species.
As chance would have it the merchant,
in stating the number, wrote the GU
(or) between the figures two and three
with very small o and diminutive II.
How great events may issue from small
causes will appear from the sequel. A
few months passed over, when at last
messenger was sent from the harbor
to inform the merchant that his me-
nagerie had landed. My managerial
was the astonished reply. YES, a
menagerie; in fact q whole cargo of
monkeys have come for you" The
merchant could not believe the man
until letter was delivered to him
from his friend in Africa. person of
the most scrupulous exactness, in
which he gravely apologized for his
having been unable, Notwithstanding
all his efforts, to procure more than
100 monkeys instead of 2O3 as ordered,
but promised to forward the remainder
as soon as possible. Imagine the feel
ings of the merchant on going down to
the port to convince himself with his
own eyes of the existence of his 100
monkeys. which were all comfortably
housed and which grinned at him

Courts Opposed to Liberty.


The decision rendered by the Su-
preme Court OF Wisconsin, January 81,
in the case of Olympia Brown, Is not
unexpected to Massachusetts, suffrag-
isis. It is in accordance with the
rules of law, as now administered. Be-
fore suit was instituted in Wisconsin,
two eminent legal friends of woman
suffrage in Boston were consulted, at
the request of friends in that State, and
both were of opinion that an adverse
decision would be rendered. One ad-
vised against making the contest, the
other recommended that the effort
should be made None the less, the
decision is wrong in principle. 1t sets
aside the plain literal import of words
in behalf of justice and liberty, in de-
ference to a supposed intention of the
legislators who framed the law, and a
supposed understanding of the voters
who ratified it. In other words, it gives
the benefit of doubt to custom and
prescription, not tojustice and liberty.
