Fish are being caught occasionally at
Lake Verona, OF enormous size. The
other day while cutting grass on his
lake front, Mr.. Csc. EdmistOn noticed
large fish trying to strike thescythe
when it came into the water. He at once
secured his fishing tackle, and the first
throw hooked and landed seven pound
bass. This is the largest bass ever
caught in the lakes here.-Avon Park

The state census for 1895 shows q
population of 464, $50, including 80 In
dams. The white population is 271,-
sci, an increase of $3.50 over 1890.
The colored population is 1913, O39, an
increase of 20, $50. Six of the forty-fve
counties, namely, Columbia, Jefferson,
Lafayette, Lake, Orange and Sumter,
show slight decreases in population in
five years. All the others show large in
creases.
The last state census, taken last year,
shows that the northern range OF coun-
ties in this state contains about hfty-tWo
per cent. of the entire negro population
of the state, and that about eighty three
per cent. OF the negro population OF the
state lives in counties north of the north
ern boundaries of Citrus, Sumter, Lake
and Volusia. This shows that the negro
element is not as large in the extreme
southern part of South Florida as might
be supposed.
Miss Irma Belts of this city is one o
the fortunate contestants for the Wash

were offered by this excellent journal for
the most words made out OF the words
composing the contest mentioned. On
August Miss Irma, the 15-year- old
daughter of Mr.. Belts. began her task.
By the 23rd she had succeeded in max
ing out OF it 1,19O words. Yesterday
she received the Post encyclopedias as
one of the prizes offered, most excellent
work for Miss, and the Tribune con-
graduates her.-Tampa Tribune.
Items announcing the establishment
of some new manufacturing enterprise,
or giving some particulars regarding the
progress of some enterprise already in
existence, are of frequent occurrence in
the papers of the state. Indeed, it is
rare that q state exchange can be ex-
amined without seeing some one or
more items Of that character. This in
dictates that the persistent labors If the
press of Florida have borne fruit in
awakening interest in the buildi Dg up o
the manufacturing industries OF the state
and it also indicates that although
much has been done much more re-
mains to be done. 1t is to be hoped that
the political campaign, although an i'm
portant one, will not drive out of our
peoples mind other equally important
matters.-Palatka Times-Herald.

His Reception An Enthusiastic
One in the Extreme.
GREAT CROWDS GREET HIM
Nearly 10000 People Heard
Him in Louisville.
SPOKE THREE TIMES LAS T NIGHT
The Silver Leader Addressed 1000
People at Mt. Vernon and Made
Speeches at Other Places
in Illinois.

Louisville, Ky, Sept. 14-Three
speeches delivered in three different
part of the city to large crowds con
stituted the nights work of VIM. j.
Bryan in this city. The first of these
speeches was at Phoenix Hall, where
the candidate Of three platforms adj
dressed an audience variously estimat-
ed at from $4,000 to 10000. There
were at least five thousand people in
the assemblage which listened to him
at the Hav Market and double that
number at Wizards Hotel. In the first
speech Mr. Bryan took occasion to in
directly pay his compliments to the
National Democratic convention NOM
inees by advising his audience to eth
er vote the Republican ticket or to
cast their ballots in favor of the Chica-
60 ticket The other two speeches of
the nominee were short and have been
covered to a great extent by other adj
dresses of Mr. Bryan.
The train bearing the Bryan party
arrived in Louisville at 7:45, a quarter
of an hour ahead of schedule time. The
nominee was driven Immediately to
Wizards Hotel and a quarter of an
hour later was on his way to the first
meeting of the evening, The whole
drive was a continued ovation to the
candidate, though in one portion Of
the route through which the party
drove, there were continued cheers for
Mckinley. At Phoenix Hall, the car
riage was Immediately surrounded by
a howling mob and it took the combin-
ed efforts of 20 policemen to force a
passage way to the platform for Mr.
Bryan. His appearance on the speak
ers' stand was the signal for uproar-
Gus applause. He was introduced by
ex-Congressman Asher G. Caruth.
The advent of the Bryan party into
Kentucky was an enthusiastic one in
the extreme. The people of Henderson
brought out the ten thousand inhabi-
tants of that city and borrowed nearly
half as many more from the surround
ing towns. The streets were blocked
from the depot to the stand erected in
the public square, where a mass of hui
manity was gathered. Mr.. Bryan made
two speeches, one from the City Park
and the other from a stand erected
in one of the broad streets of That city
Southern enthusiasm was shown in the
greatest degree and every one of the
vast audiences wanted to shake hands
with the man whom they called the
next President
Mr.. Bryan received another ovation
when he appeared to make his second
| speech. The return trip to the train
was a repetition of the parade before
the speaking. Cheer after cheer went
up and when the crowd was not cheer
ing, it was testifying to its devotion to
the candidate by constant yells of
Bryan, we want you" and others of
similar import.
After leaving Henderson, the train
made five minute stops at Owensboro,
Hawesville, Cloverport and Iryington,
where Mr.. Bryan told the crowd that
he was glad to note the interest they
were taking and thanked them for the
oyations paid him.

MR. BRYAN WILL SPEAK I RAEG Thursday SEPT 17T AIT RM

Great appIause.) Since was here
last March the Republican party, met
i'm National convention at St. Louis,
did what no party in this nation ever
did before, solemnly declared that the
financial policy of this country should
depend, not upon what the American
people desired, but upon what foreign
nations in their compassion would al
low the American people to have.
(Applause)
THE Republican platform does not
say that the gold standard is a good
thing 1t in substance declares that a
double standard is better than the sim
gle gold standard because that plat
form pledges the Republican party to
get rid OF the gold standard and substi-
tute the bimetallic principle. .When? ? Not
when our people need it, Not when
our people desire it, but as soon as the
leading commercial nations of the
world Will join with us in doing it, (Ap-
plause.) ask you, my friends, to study
that platform well, because we may
fairly assume that a man elected upon
a platform will carry out that plat
form. When does the Republican plat
form say we shall have bimetallsm &?
II does not state the time. How long
does it say that we must maintain the
gold standard? For one year? 1T does
not limit il TO a year or four years. No,
my friends, SO far as that platform
goes, it declares that whether the Am
erican people like the gold standard or
not, whether they suffer from it or
not, they must maintain it forever if
foreign nations insist upon our keep
ing it .(Great applause.) I am willing
to submit the question to the American
people, Applause, and cries of that's
right)
At Enfield, a little village Of about
500 people, five hundred people turned
out to see Mr., Bryan. There was but
two minutes stop at this plac4@nd
those assembled cheered the nominee
wildly.
In the public square of Evansville.
MIR. Bryan addressed 5000 people for
twenty minutes. The enthusiasm
shown along the line, and more espe-
cially at this place, made it apparent
that the Democratic nominee was in
one of the strongholds of his party.
The special stopped at First Avenue,
and Ohio street and Mr. Bryan was
taken the two blocks to the platform
IN carriage which was silver plated
and harness of white leather orna-
mented with the same metal. The
crowd cheered him wildly and at the
end of every sentence in his speech he
was interrupted by the cheers of the
assemblage.
CaImi was out in full force to see
the nominee. As far as eye could see.
the streets were lined with carriages
and farmers wagons and about the
platform erected near the depot from
five thousand to eight thousand people
had gathered. Mr.. Bryan, when the
train pulled in was resting and Con-
gresham j. NJ. Allen, of Mississippi,
addressed the crowd until the nominee
could make himself ready to appear
before the people. Mr.. Bryan was in
troduced by Congressman John Will
liams.

Mr.. Bryan said:
Ladies and Gentlemen: / appreciate
the fact that this meeting is presided

ciate the fact that while our oppO-
nents may say of me that I am young
and lacking in public experience, they
cannot bring that charge against a
member Of the Appellate Court whose
judgment and heart have led him to
espouse the cause of the people.
II am glad that from dag to day
we are finding recruits to our cause
from those whose position in public
life raise them above the slander of
those who apply the name of anar-
chists or disturbers of the public peace
to those who raise their hands against
the syndicates and corporations. Zap
