will take great pleasure in publishing

a good deal larger than any county pa
per in the world can afford to enable us
to report all the sermons preached in
DeLand. For instance there are eight
churches in DeLand, at seven of which
sermons, and good ones, too, are
preached every Sunday. In order to re-
port them it would require seven report

report one and ignore all the balance.

In the minutes of the last session of
the county commissioners appeared the
rather startling statementin the commit
tee on the poor that one of the inmates
of the county poor house had run away.
There was really no necessity for thispoor
wretch to abscond in clandestine man
ner, but the instinct of liberty we suppose
is strong even in the heart of pauper,
and this especial pauper thought his lib
erty was being curtailed and availed him
self OF the first opportunity of seeking
pastures new. In all events he has set
an example which we hope will be i'm
itated by all the paupers in the county.

Speaking of paupers ID poor houses

DeLand. Until quite recently this bird
Of passage has been an unknown quanti-
ty, buthe is such no longer. During one
day oflast week four Of them were fed at

The alleged meeting of the citizens of
DeLand at the Hotel Putnam last We'd
nesday night reminded us very forcibly
of the early days Of our little burg. w.
H. Bristol, j. B. Jordan, J. L. Nuckols,
S. E. Wright, and a representative of the
SUPPLEMENT were all that were present,
and the enthusiasm was exactly in keep
ing with the size of the "crowd." De-
Land is certainly the poorest place inthe
United States and New Jersey to cen
thuse."
~
We have no figures, or in fact anything
else to prove the assertion, but we feel
perfectly secure in the assertion that
there is no other railroad property in the
State that pays so well, mile for mile, as
the DeLand branch of the j. T. & K. w.
The freight business done by this line is
simply immense, and the passenger traf-
fc in the winter season is nothing to be
smiled at One day last week we count
ed twenty-seven freight cars at the De-
Land depot, which gives faint idea of
the amount of freight brought into our
town. Unfortunately very little goes
out.

Our prese Mt election law is about twice
as expensive as it's predecessor. The
last election cost the county about So, 900
whereas under the old law it would only
have cost 81 900 or 81 200.

bad instead of good reputation.
Xxx
The petition to the commissioners
asking that an election be held to vote
upon the question OF selling whisky in
this county was not acted upon at the
last meeting OF the board, because the
law provides that such an election can
not be held until sixty days after any
general election. The petition will be-
presented at the January meeting ans
as the law requires the clerk to give
thirty days notice of the election it wilB
probably be held sometime in February
probably during the first week.
*x*
Some of our temperance people were of
| the opinion that the petition was notpre-
sented sixty days after the two years des-
ignated as "dry" by the votes of the
people, the petition could not be acted
upon or the election called, and the
county would remain dry under the
former election. We find this to be %
mistake, however, as the law only pro-
vides that an election shall be held not Of
tener than once in two years, and not
within sixty days of a general election.
~ -
Chow will the county vote?" We
don't know. but those who claim SUI
perior knowledge, both the vets and
drys, say it will vote wet by very large
majority. The reason given for this by
the vets is that the people have tried it
dry and are tired of it. The reasons
given by the drys are. /. That the law
is failure as it is at present enforced.
2. That they have no hopes Of ever see
ing it enforced. 3. Because the fine inn
pose for the violation Of the law is less
than would be the liscense tax. But

The Bootblacks Form Union and
Raise the Scale.
The boo:blacks held another meeting
last night at Y. NJ. 1. Hall. There were
about thirty present. comprising about a
dozen different nationaliies.
Alex. Demartini called the assemblage
to order and stated that the meeting was
for the purpose of organizing Bootblacks'
Union and TO establish shine rates at 10
cents per shine. He suggested that per-
manent officers should first De elected, after
which they should proceed to the adoption
0. by laws.
1t took fully IA hour to elect President,
owing to the numerous methods suggested
for voting. Everybody had plan of his
own and insisted that it was correct.
While this was going on the temporary
chairman called for vote for himself for
President, and he was unanimously
elected, before any body knew what had
happened. The same trouble was expert
enced in electing the other officers Finally.
however, G. B. Demartinl was chosen
Treasurer, John Quincy Adams, Secretary,
and Bill Hall, the whilom colored pugilist,
Guard.
The President was appointed commit
tee OF one to attend To the drawing up of
by laws.
1t was agreed to maintain the price of
shines at 10 cents ard to close down at 3
o'clock on Sundays and HOLIDAYS.
Bill Hall was the chief orator Of the
evening and his speeches were loudly
cheered By the Italians, who did not I'M
derstand what he was talking about.
Halls first duty as guard was to bounce
Louis Meyer, the hickman, out of the hall,
he having intruded unlimited.
After general talk about what punish.
ment should be melted out to persons shin
ing for cents land exceedingly forcible
measures were agreed UPON, the meeting
adjourned until next Monday evening.

WHO WILL GET IT?
There VIII be a Contest for the Chair
manship of the Supervisors.

There VIII be a Contest for the Chair
manship of the Supervisors.
Who will be the new Chairman of the
Board Of Supervisors? That is the ques-
lion that is agiiating the members of that
body at present-the new members in
cluded.
OF course Messrs. Jenkins and Miller, the
two new Supervisors who take their seats
next month, hardly expect the honorable
position, it being the custom generally to
give way to the older members. But in
this case one of the new men may have TO
step in and take the chair as peace
maker, as it is well known fact til
there will be quite little contest for the
position.
The indications at present are that Su-
pervisor Greer has the inside track, and if
nothing happens, stands good chance of
getting the persimmon. Mr.. Bates is his
most dangerous opponent for the honor.
Both are very confident.
Mr.. Bates, wheE spoken to in reference
to the matter, pulled his cigar meditatively
and then said well, I'm not particularly
stuck after the job, but as Greer wants it,
think I'll have to step in and take it, Just
to tease him.
"Humph Bates says he don't want it,n
said Mr.. Greer. short time after, when
spoken to about the matter, but I'd hate
to offer it to him. As far as l am con-
cerned myself, I would deem it an honor
to fill the place. and am quite confident
that the other members will favor me when
it comes to vote. But Pm not making
any canvass, and if 1 do not get it, I'll not
raise a row"
Mr.. Black smiled significantly when the
not saying anything he said, "but l may
have to take the chair myself when the
votes are counted"
Messrs. Miller and Jenkins were non
committal, and as it will be their votes
what viii settle the contest, the others will
have to be sweet to them.

FINE THEM,
Lucid Explanation of How to Abat

A Lucid Explanation of How to Abate
Nuisanees.
An excitable gentleman appeared before
the Supervisors yesterday afternoon and
reminded the Board that petition had
been made by people living along the drain
age canal on Thirty-frst street and on Y
street, to have several alleged nuisances
abated. He declared that he represented
over 100000 worth of property, and the
nuisances complained Of consisted of the
dumping of toul-smelling refuse matter
from brewery and winery.
The gentleman warmed up to his sub
jet as he proceeded in his address to the
Board, and wanted the Supervisors to take
violent measures Immediately to wipe out
OF existence the causes of the nuissnces.
Somebody asked how il could be done.
Why, fine them, your honorable bodyr'
replied the gentleman, excitedly, fine
them $3.50 000-thaL'll stop 'em 7"
"Oh, that's too much, +" suggested one of
the Supervisors.
We'll, then, make it 100000 il you
wont too-anything to stop EN- !"
After some coaxing, he came down in
his figures to $3.50, and upon the Super
yisor5 prom sing to lock into the matter,
be went on his way rejoicing.
