and at short notice about 80 oil our cit

fair to presume that our post office ques-

neither Senator Proctor, Gen. Grout or

A Florida Enchatment.-A dramat

A Florida EnChatment.-A dramati'
cation of A. c. Gunter's successful novel
"a Florida Enchantment" is booked tor
the Howe Opera House for the evening OF
Oct. 27. The play, like the book, has
thus far been a success. OF its presenta-
ton in Lowell, the Morning Citizen says
There was an audience OF excellent size
and it showed by applause and laughter
it's appreciation of the humorous situa-
tions and dialogue which the au hor has
provided as well as the introduced feat
ures foreign to the book but agreeable to
those who like singing and dancing even
in straight" comedy. AS many know
the bedrock of the piece is the changing
of the heroine into man by the eating
of Florida bean. 1t is pretty delicate
motive to handle with propriety, but the
author has done his work well and the
only suggestions are of mirth.'

and especial care should be given
to this matter at this time.
Health depends upon pure, rich
blood, for when the blood is inn
pure and impoverished diseases
of various kinds arc almost GER
tain to result. The one true
blood purifier is Hoods Sarsapar-
lila. BY its power to purify and
vitalize the blood il has proved

wonderful power over disease.

Tobacco Interest Growing.


Col. Eichelberger remarked
yesterday that if he had them,
he could dispose of 100000 tobac-
co plants on sight, so great is the
demand for them. Let the read
er reflect moment and note the
significance of this statement.
100000 plants means 10000
acres of the weed, which, with
proper cultivation and care would
mean $4,000 pounds of tobacco,
and taking the prices paid for
similar product at Barlow, Fort
Meade and Plant City, which
was SOC a pound, would mean to
our people, merchants and COM
munity $4,000. Allowing ..on
this acreage 20c pound profit
there would be left to the grow
ers a snug little net nest-egg of
$4,000. But this is not all of
this pleasant picture of prospec-
tive prosperity. Think what Ia
Dor would be required to bring
this crop to maturity. Allowing
an acre to the hand and three
months in which to mature the
crop, would require the help of
10000 persons or 10000 hands,
of which number half would be
grown laborers, the other half
women and children to do the
lighter and less expensive work,
such as wedding the land, worm
ing the tobacco and assisting in
it's cutting and removal to the
curing house. The labor ac-
count of this little army would
amount to over $4,000 for the
grown help and fully $1,000 for
their assistants. With this
money paid on weekly wages, put
into general circulation to supply
the wants of the laborers, what a
pleasure it would afford the well
wisher of our community to note
the impetus it would give to every
branch of trade in our city and
the electrical effect it would have
in creating a wave of prosperity,
which would quickly discount the
days of 80. Let it come with all
it's attendant possibilities and re-
vivifying power.

Mcintosh Bathing Pool.

Col. Hickman says the McIn-
tosh swimming pool is the most
wonderful institution that ever
invaded the natural home of the
vegetable world" The baths of
Rome in her halcyon days are as
naught compared to the glories
of Mcintosh natatorium. Brave
men fight for it, lovely women
sigh for it while all the babies in
the land cry for it. It is truly
the seat of fashion and the mould
of form. 1t is the mecca. of every
aspiration, hope and consumma-
tion of the people of that favored
section of Marion county. From
early morn until dewey eve and
way into stilly hours of the night
do it's people sport in it's pelucid
and health giving waters. Even
Bill Allen is seen to steal from
his tobacco patch at the noon
hour and lave his perspired form
in the cooling and shaded waters
of the pool. To say aught
against this resort is to bring
down the maledictlons of the peo-
pie of Mcintosh. Long may it's
people pool their issues in it's
tranquilizing waters is the wish
of the Star.
P. S.-McIntosh's clamerous
demand for bathing suits has ac-
tually created a panic in the
Jacksonville market for this
class of raiment.
