Is Tallahassee going to send any flowers to
the Detroit Floral Fair next week | think
she ought to- Let the world see what beauti-
ful flowers we have here. Let US advertise our
attractions. Why hide our light under peck
measure.
The Tallahassee Country is the garden spot
of the world. Nature has been kind to us. We
only need to use a little energy and capital to
make this paradise indeed Then let us awake
arise and shake ourselves. We have room here
for thousands of wide awake white farmers
We need them Then let US put out an invita-
ton for them 10 come-and keep it standing"
Let US exhibit our productions at every Fair
Exposition that Offers and follow it up with de-
scriplive pamphlets of the country This is the
way 10 secure immigration, and immigration is
what we want.
guess my girl friends think hard of me for
ignoring fashions, cookies ETC., but do feel
that we women folks ought to do something to
help on the Florida Boom-the Tallahassee
Boom-and whenever l pick up my pen now
the inspiration seizes me to stir everybody up
with a sharp stick and instill a little Yankee
vim into them. We are too slow. We should
push ahead faster. We are too we'll satisfied
with comfortable, easy-going existence. The
truth of the matter is that it is such easy
matter TO make living IN Florida that it en-
courages iD remaining lazy. BESSIE.

HRAD-NOTES To DECISIONS OF THE
SUPREME COURT OF FLORIDA
January Term. A. I'D. 1859.

The State of Florida, er rel, Roy P. NJ ,oly, Re-
lator, vs. w ID. b trnes, Comptroller, Respon-
denl-Mandamus.
MAXWELL, j..
/. The authority conferred on the Compirol-
Ter by the constitution of The State, TO approve
the bonds OF county officer, vests hlm with dis
cretiOnary Judgment not sabect 10 control by
mandamus, unless he abuses his discretion.
2. While mandamus is proper remedy where
an officer in the performance Of discretionary
duty involving right given by law, bases his
refusal OF the right on matter or ground outside
OF his discretion, II is not available where said
matter or ground Is within the discretion to be
exercised by him.
g. Courts will not use mandamus TO control
the discretion OF an officer for wrong decision,
because ofa wrong reason for the decision, un-
less the reason relates 10 matter or question of
law not within his discretion.
4 NJ was elected TO the Office of Sheriff and
presented his bond to the Comptroller for ap-
proval. The Comptroller refused his approval
because one of the sureties had Withdrawn, and
the circumstances in reference to the assent of
the others to the withdrawal were such that in
his opinion there was serious doubt as to the va
lidity o! the bond Held, That the question of
the legality Of the bond was one directly within
his discretion, and his determination in regard
to it, even il wrong, cannot be controlled bv
mandamus.

For the benefit Of the Tilford Times
the ADvERTIsER will state that its bid
for the county printing was one-half a
cent per line less than its free trade,
single-tax, democratic competitor. It is
also worthy Of note that the great re-
former Knowles charged the county Of
Meade for items in excess OF the rates
allowed by the territory and was paid
by The commissioners ID accordance with
the bill rendered. The editor Of the eagi-
tator is not as philanthropic as be pic
lures himself TO be.

The rumor that DIR. Stewart and Fred

The contributing membership OF the
Howitzers to-day is the largest Of any mill
tary organization in the city. The liberal
contributions from wealthy sources II due To
the high appreciation in which the Howitzers
were held during and since the war. The
command is very popular here. The people
Of Richmond take pride in il, and stand
ready 10 foster its welfare. The spirit
of the corps was never in more healthy
state. and the personnel of the company
comprises the very best material IN the
city, The City Council are considering the
appropriation of an amount sufficient 10
erect a drill-shed for the company on the
town lot on Eighth street. upon which the
Howitzer Armory now stands.
As the veterans gather together with their
Younger namesakes, many viii have IN
mind sentiments Whlch were well expressed
by Captain W. Gordon McCabe at the BAN
quet Of 1875, in the following stanzas:
They are not dead, but sleeping! We'll we
know
The fOims that lie to-day beneath the sod
shall! rise what time the golden bugles blow.
Ard pour their music through the courts Of
God.
And there around earth's great heroic dead,
The war-worn sons OF God whose work is
done.
Each face shall shine. as they with stately
tread
In grand review sweep past the Jasper
Throne.
