seen many funny pictures OF how the mis-
chievous boy out the rope and let the old
man fall from the hammock, but at last we
have realized the predIcament. That mis-
chievous wife, instead OF the boy, caused all
Of the trouble. We still eat our breakfast
on the mantle shelf.

nothing else. Learn now.

Valdosta Times: The Florida democrats
seem to be confident of success. They are
putting more vigor into the campaign now
than they did a week or two ago. II the

Fernandlna Net0s: Last year our county
assessment amounted to @ mills; this year
l04. This can be accounted for by the
fact that last year the school beard levied
80 mills, while this year 1t has increased it
to mills, which will make a reduction of
mi ali 9TH
1t is gratifying to know that besides max
ing several improvements, as we'll as the
hbereltty toward our county schools our
taxes have only increase three-fourshs of a
mill.
fernando Ne,os- Register: II has been a
pleasure TO watch the matchmaking of the
Methodist church. A few months ago only
the work seemed almost impossible, to-day
the seemingly impossible is all but accom-
plished A handsome commodious brick
church, that would be credit TO a town
many tunes larger than ours has its walls
all completed, with metal roof all but i'm
ished. 1t shows what untiring work aud
faith will accomplish. A little more time
and work and the tower will be finished
and the bell will peal out in joyous tones

Gainesville Leader: Hon. Hugh A. Cor
ley OF Lake county tells a story that hap
pened when he was boy. which will inter
est the Masonic fraternity. He was then
living in Quincy, Fla, a school boy. One
day in September a severe storm passed
over the town, and carried trees and barns
before its destructive force. The MasoEs
had been holding their communications In
an old rickety building, which at one time
had been used as a town hall. The force Of
the storm was too much for the building,
and it, too, succumbed to the telling
foqe OF the raging storm. The crash at
tracted the attention of a lot of boys, who
rushed to the scene to gaze upon the dead
carcases of the goats that we read about,
and which are supposed to cut such an i'm
portant figure in secret circles. Much to
the surprise of tho congregated oherubs,
fourteen goats made a safe exit from the
debris. unhurt, but badly frightened. The
experience was more severe than the goats
had ever before had. The animals had
sought safety from the storm under the
shelter of the old Masonic building.

attempted to pull It out with the left hand
