THE HOME PAPER.
A Little Story from Real Life That
Carries q Moral.

Carries Moral
When you got married to the brightest
and best girl in the country, where did
you look for that notice that meant so
much to you. and SO little to everybody
else? To your Home Paper.
When your home was invaded by the
blue eyed girl, or bouncing baby boy,
to whom did you make it your business
to convey early information as to the sex.
the time and the weight? To the editor
of that Home Paper.
In after years, when some manly young
fellow takes the blue eyed girl to home
of his own. or your once bouncing boy
now man-is given partnership In the
store, because he has just brought home
somebody else's daughter and set up an
establishment of his own, to whom do you
personally exhibit the wedding presents
and load up with brides cake, and to
whom do you look for that complete des-
cription of the interesting event, down to
the last pickle fork and individual salt,
which once more, means SO much to you
and a very few others, and so little to any
body else? To the same editor of that
same Home Paper.
And when trouble comes in the home,
and you add to your possessions that des-
olate bit Of realty, the lot in the cemetery,
and somehow the sun doesn't seem to
shine just as it used to, and there's tlut-
ter of Grape at the door and the odor of
the tuberose in the front parlor, and the
chair that has for years been beside yours
at the fireside and opposite you at the
the table-when all this happens, who
makes it his business to write in tender
strain of the one whose life has grown to
be part of yours, and whose sympathy
and good deeds to others have long been
recognized, if never publicly announced?
The editor of the Home Paper; and he's
only too willing to do the little he can to
help you over the hard spot in the road.
And all these years you've advertised
in this Home Paper, and done what you
could to help the editor fight your battles
in municipal and county matters, and
encouraged him as he has worked to
build up the town and bring business to
it.
OF course you have, and it has paidL--

It's the Same Way Here.

The office of sheriff of Ness county is
chasing about dozen men around, and
not giving them q moments rest. Since
the new order of having the Office seek
the man and not the man seek the Office
was introduced some of our modest and
retiring citizens have become the victims
of this mania of the Office running about
and hunting them up to such an extent
that they are becoming prematurely gray
and baldheaded. This thing ought to be
stopped by law, as even public office has
no right to disturb the peace and quiet
of an inoffensive citizen.-Ness County

Death of Charles P. Keeney.

Charles P. Keeney will be remember
ed by many of the older residents of Ire
go county having in an early day engag-
ed in business in Wa-Keeney. From a
Florida paper we learn that he died at
Tarpon Springs, in that State, on the Oath
day of April last. The following is taken
from the Tarpon Springs, (Florida) zrUtA
of the date of May 2, 1891.
The late Charles p. Keeney was born
at Des Moines, Iowa upon the first day of
the year 1S49. A farmers son, he helped
his father at home until he went to the
Chicago University, where he pursued the
prescribed course. He was married De-
cember 26, 1875 to Viola P. Burton, in
whom he ever found a devoted wife and
courageous comrade.
Mr.. Keeney entered into the real-estate
business in Chicago in 1874, where he re-
NAMED until 1877, when he went with
his wife to Kansas. Mr.. and Mrs. Keeney
were the first family to settle in the town
of Wa-Keeney, the present county seat of
Trego county.
There he remained until 1880, when he
returned to Chicago, and resumed the
estate business in partnership with his
brother j. F. Keeney. The firm did a
large and increasing business. until Mr..
C. P. keeney's failing health caused him
to come to Florida in the winter of 1887.
Of Mr.. Keeney's career in Tarpon
Springs the readers Of our paper are al
ready aware. His business activity and
the public spirit he manifested were only
limited by his ever failing health. 1t has
been the general feeling here that Mr..
Keeney's illness alone prevented him from
becoming the most potent factor in the
of Tarpon Springs. AS it
was he accomplished much. A year ago
Mr.. Keeney purchased the brick block on
Tarpon avenue, built by Rev. H. d. L..
Webster, and handsome grove in the
Sapling Woods. With the intention of
giving our industrious colored citizens a
fair show in the world, Mr.. Keeney cut up
into building lots an eligible piece of
property owned by him on Spring Bayou
and during the first year built
the most imposing and artistic residence
ever erected in Tarpon Springs. This
will continue to be occupied by his widow
and daughters, Frank and Glenn, who,
it is pleasure for us to say, will make
their permanent home in Tarpon Springs.
