this little anecdote to tell this week of DIR.
Buck. in the midst of our Affections there
are many things which make us smile. A
little incident occurred day or two ago,
which for real wit. is worthy of Sheridan.
DR.. Buck, who by the way, is the only den.
fist in the city, and has naturally enough
earned the soubriquet of 'beng the best
dentist in Jacksonville" has been written to
repeatedly by his mother, who is in Maine, to
come there, she offering to send him money
| if that was the cause of his remaining here.
A few days ago there came freeze in Maine,
and the Doctor at once wrote to his mother
| of his anxiety concerning her lest she should
| freeze to death, and telling her to come to
| Florida at once, and he would remit the nee
essary funds. These are the men that make
heroes, and these are the men that Florida
wants for citizens"
