The body rested in an elegant casket of solid hard wood, and as the lid was removed to allow last look at the remains, he looked as if he was asleep. Asleep in Jesus, his death was very peaceful, but he realized. even before sending for d physician, that it was his last sickness and he expressed himself to his father. who was with him. ''IIe had no fear of death, as all was well with him." The tributes of love ill the form of flowers were very pretty. The bearers were Arthur Sherwood, Emory Sanford, Lo- renzo Clark, Fred R. Beach, Charles Candee and John H. Wheeler The in- terment was in the Baptist cemetery. MT Lyon was fireman on the Pennsylva- nia road, running between New Jersey and Philadelphia, only waiting an open ing to take the position of engineer, and by his frank and genial manner had won host of friends there, who with his old friends and companions here, regret his death and extend their heartfelt sympa- thy to the bereaved family.

WHERE Is THE LEAK.

AS the year draws to a close, the time
and balance accounts.
When the resident of Florida reviews
the situation, he may find that he is
''shOrt;" that his expenses have exceeded
his income, or in other words that he
has lost rather than made money. We
do not say that this is the rule, for we
trust it is not, but at the same time we
know that there are many Of our people
who will find their accounts in this con-
ditiOn.
The thorough many when he finds
his condition of affairs staring him in
the face, will first attempt to discover
the cause, and after this is known to
him he will apply the remedy that will
suggest itself to him.
We firmly believe that the cause, in
most cases, when found, will be all under
rather than al over production. We
think the cause of the trouble, when
proper diagnosis of it is made, will be
that the soil tiller does not till the soil
enough; that he devotes too much atten-
ton to one crop or product and not
enough to other things. We think he
will find that much of the 'stutf'' he has
bought at the grocery or the feed

WHAT ONE MAN DOES.

Stories of men who have made phe-
nomena success in orange culture-made
d living and a grove at the same time
and then made money from the grove
are often discredited: people are apt to
judge others by themselves-they say
they have failed to do it and think others
could not have succeeded. The trouble
with them is they did not go about the
work in the right way. They did not
give their land a chance to help them,
A correspondent of the Times Union
writing from Ocala, and touching on the
subject paints very agreeable picture
of one mans enterprise. Now we hold
that what one man has done another,
under the same conditions, can also do.
The correspondent says;
d. c, Cutler, who is interested in and
manages the Meade orange grove near
this city, speaking abou this manage
ment, said he had always conducted
something to help pay for planting out,
charging and making his grove. He
began ten years ago withten acres. This
years crop on thirty acres is estimated
anywhere from 5000 to 10000 boxes
He sent 200 boxes off in October and re-
ceived 5000 for the lot. His cucumber
dollhouse brings in about 5000 in a sea-
son of three months. During six years
he disposed of 1922, 900 worth of nursery
stock. He made a success of raising
poultry. He grew squash that had run
anywhere from 81 900 to S., 200 a season.
