the personal kindnesses that have been

Most of all, and beyond all, the DAILY

and favors have upheld its course, and
whose sweet gifts Of flowers and hearty
sympathy will be treasured long after life's

PEACE TO ITS ASHES! !

From the DAILY FLoRIDIAN, June Z.
Last night the DAILY FLoRIDIAN died.
Around its grave stood the fairest AMI best
of Tallahassee. Collected in its editorial
rooms, ladies and citizens called for the
staff and every member Of the force. The
eloquent senator from Leon spoke in feeling
terms all loo kind of the work done by the
paper in its short career and of the appre-
citation of that work by the people o. Leon
county, his constituents.
Praise from the lips OF the Hon Fred.
T. Myers was gratifying enough, but when
it was endorsed by the ladies and gentle
men present, the creme de Ia creme
of that old southern society which
fingers in Florida. the effect was
too overpowering and theheart Of the ed
itor who spoke for the paper was 80 full
that the lips must be nearly dumb.
The history of journalism in America is
a wonderful one, but within the last two
months the people Of Tallahassee have
written and illustrated new chapter in
that most vivid book The DAILY 'FLoRI
DIAN had its cradle wreathed with flowers
good fairies breathed their choicest
wishes for its future and kind friends
watched its growth with partia! eyes and
tended its progress with loving hands.
That such expectations should not have
met with disappointment, that suct
high hopes should still at
tend that part of the paper which
survives it's death, is due to the charity
which always attends a funeral far more
than to the merits of the deceased. Tha
, the DAILY FLoRIDIAN should have salts
fed even such partial critics, is a sourc'
of pride to all the force. If it ha
tried faithfully and laboriously to do it
part in the late memorable sequence o
! events at Tallahassee, it has still faile'
r to reach that high standard which coul
Il have merited the reception accorded
by the people.
But it is the glory of the FLORIDA

HAS Tallahassee ever tn ought that the

more or less the duty of the city to care
forf Other cities spend large sums for
such place of public resort; is it not the
duty of this city TO join hands with the

not greatly change his methods. The cul.

ters are milder but the summers are no
hotter, and with cheaper lands, a more
equable climate and the same productions,
Middle Florida possesses advantages to the
farmer immigrant unquestionably superior
to those of other sections of the state.
On the other hand, agricultural Florida
is still enslaved to negro labor-it still
lacks adequate transportation facilities
But let it not be forgotten that when these
advantages are secured land will command
much higher price, AMI he who comes
now and accepts in good part the inconye-
niences and discomforts of a settler at the
present time will get the same land and
climate and other advantages at one-tenth
the price these will command in the near

Middle Florida is now an unknown Sec
ton to the average immigrant-the more
progressive spirit and alluring industries
of her sisters have drawn the stream past
her borders. But she has the natural
advantages which will compel attention
when her people give access to her rich
lands and make her attractions known to
the business world. They should neglect
no opportunity of doing this. God helps
those who help themselves.
