Two Weeks in Florida.

To see Florida is a pleasure; to
visit it is a privilege; but to spend a
fortnight within its borders is an
epoch. There is a great satisfaction in
Witnessing the ripening of tropical
fruits in their own native land, and a
peculiar Joy in wrestling with old
oceans waves when lakes and rivers at
home are all icebOund. One appreci-
ates the wonders of modern invention
and railroad development upon leaving
the neighborhood of good skating one
day and finding himself in the vicinity

can be done, and the man who prefers
hunting or fishing will take his ac-
oourtrements along with him, for Flor
ida extends cordial invitation to all
spoPtsmen.

weeks the uncertain climate of the
North for the delightful and Spring

The Mount Lebanon Shakers have in
vented a great many valuable things.
They were the first to make brooms by ma
chinery the first to put up seeds in little
packages; the first to manufacture cut nails.
Now they are out with a method of cur
ing dyspepsia by resting the stomach.
Their remedy is known as the Shaker Di-
gestive Cordial. 1t supplies food in an
artifcially digested form and at the same
time aids the digestion of other foods in
the stomach. In other words, by the use
of the Shaker Digestive Cordial, a dyspep-
TIC virtually gets along without the use of
his stomach until it is restored to its nat
ural strength and vigor A single 10 cent
bottle will oft-times give marked relief. Get

COMING SOUTH.
Reasons Why People are FIocking
to This Region.

Emigration from the Northern to the
Southern States, which began when orr
great war ended, has steadily increased
in volume and improved in character. If
we had the statistics Of this movement
as we have of foreign immigra ton, tho
figures would astonish the average reader.
The Northwestern States have, thus
far, been the chief contributors to the in
lluX of new inhabi4ants who have settled
on farms made by subdividing the plan.
tatons of ante bellum times. There are.
in all conimun' ties, persons and families
whose absence is desired and whose exit
is hailed with satisfaction, but these arc
not the kind of people who have left and
are leaving the North to find new homes
In the South. Men of substance and
character, good citizens, sell out their
possessions, and, with the proceeds
thereof, relocate themselves in a more
congeIial climate and under conditions
more favorable to prosperity.
As such an exodus is not conducive to
the prosperity of II State we are not sur
prised to find a rising protest against it
in some of the Northwestern newspapers.
Among the means employed To check this
movement is Misrepresentation of the
conditions awaiting emigrants when they
reach their new homes For example.
some of the Northwestern papers assert
CltI Ile ClIlilHCe OF Tie SOuCn is lntOlera-
bly, hot in summer, and that almost all
parts of that section are unhealthful
This is absolutely untrue. Greater ex-
tremes of heat and cold are experienced
in the North than in the South. There
are more billiards., more cyclones and
more droughts in the former than in the
latter. The death rate in most OF the
Southern States is 10 ker than the average
in the North.
The best promoters of this movement
are the people who have tried it, They
have found health, peace and prosperity;
and they write to their friends and neigh.
bors at their old homes telling them the
facts OF the situation. For this reason
the movement is continuous. Some of
the new settlers organize iE colonies, but
the greater part scatter among the peo-

aid, little more than two years old, is

DIR. J. n. Bishop, the private physician
of Mrs Mckinley is man without coun-
try. He was born in Ottawa, Canada,
and when 81 years old went to Missis-
sippt, where he received special commits
sion under Gen. 0. o. Howard. When
that State was re-admitted into the
Union he took the oath Of allegiance and
subsequently held the position of post
master, as we'll as several State and local
Offices. Thinking his services under Gem
eral Howard practically made him citi-
zen, he neglected to take out natllraliza
ton papers. Some weeks ago he decided
to take a..trip to Russia, but delayed max
ing application for passport until his
vessel was nearly ready to start. He ap-
pied to the State Department at Wash
ington, which after some delay informed
him that he could not get passport, as
he had never been naturalized. He then
went to the British consulate in New
York, where he was advised to apply to
the State Department at Ottawa, and,
being refused passport there he left for
Russia without securing one. AS 1t will
be impossible for him TO land in the czar's
dominions without passport, his lawyer
hopes to get one for him from the British
consul and forward it to him in day or
two. All things considered, the doctor
might have saved himself much future
annoyance and trouble by delaying his
departure until the necessary document
had been secured
