board of education of Atlanta to be held
Thursday afternoon Mr. oscar Pappen-
hefmer, the newly elected member, will
be introduced and a new president will
be elected to take the place of Judge Van
Epps.
It is generally understood that Mr.
Hoke Smith will be elected to the chair
rnanship. and so far no opposition to him
has developed. Though the members of
the board have had no conference in re-
gard to the matter, it seems to be the
opinion of each that Mr.. Smith will be
the next president.

ECHOES OF TIE FESTIVAL.
Kansas Papers Continue to Say Good
Things of Topeka,s Show.

The Santa Fe parade at Topeka was the
grandest thing Of its kind We ever saw.
We sat during the entire parade beside
Senator w. P. Dillard of Fort Scott, one
of the railroad commissioners. His COM
ments indicated very clearly that the
demonstration was a revelation even
to him as to the magnitude of the Santa
Fe interests and its Importance to the
state.-WeIingto Mail
In Kansas, where the people of all
classes are hardworking, engaged, day
after day. week in and week outfor years
in chase after the fieeting dollar, it is
no more than right that there should
come a time of recreation and jollity. a
couple of days, a week or so, does them
a great deal of good and is not measured
by the amount of dollars they expend.
They come back better prepared forwork,
more reconciled to their conditions in life
and able to enjoy the same. The late
Festival at Topeka afforded an excellent
opportunity for this recreation and pleas
ure and that it was enjoyed by thousands
of Kansans was attested by the general
good time they seemed to have and their
words of praise after returning. This is
an annual event at Topeka and grows

The two most critical times in a
woman's life are the times which
make the girl woman, and the
woman a mother. AT these times,
DR.. Plerce's favorite prescription
is of incalculable value. 1t
strengthens and invigorates the
organs distinctly feminine, pro-
m otes regularity Of the functions,
allays irritation and ILLUMINATION,
checks unnatural, exhausting
drains, and puts the whole delicate
organism into perfect condition.
Almost all the ills of womankind
are traceable to some form of what
is known as "female complaint" "
There are not three cases in a hun
dred of woman's peculiar diseases
that DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip
tion will not cure.

The Moonlight Excursion.

The pleasant excursion over the
S. S. & w. Ry., last night to Sill
yer Springs under the mellow
light of a full moon was an event
long to~be remembered by the par
ticipants. About 300 people
went down to see the tower jump
and enjoy the ride, among them
being quite a number of ladies.
Arriving at the springs it was
found that a scaffold about 90 feet
high had been erected, from which
Mr.. O'Dell was to leap into the
water. A tarred rope hung down
the center of the scaffo!d which
was set on fire from the bottom a
moment before the jump was to
be made. Mr.. O'De'l mounted
the sky-scraping tower, touche d
fire to his himsy clothing, the rope
was ignited from below and when
the flames mounting the rope had
almost reached his body, with a
loud yell the man sprang IL to
space and dropped like a meteor
into the water. 1t seems incredi
Bile that a man could jump from
such an altitude into only Ave feet
of water without being injured
from a collision with the bo II om,
but Mr.. O'Dsll said he did not
come in contact with the bottom,
and told of jumping from a higher
tower in.o 3 II feet of water.
The performance will be repeated
next Sunday from tower actually
100 feet high. Mr.. O'Dell ha:
also ordered a new balloon will
which he will give au exhibition
soon.

"SHE HAS HAD THE Pull" "
THE EFFORTS OF MIR MCLEOD TO
SWING THE COUNTY PRINT
ING FOR THE BANNER
STILL BEING TALKED


We note that Mr.. z. c. Mcleod,
the gallant understrarper for the
Ocala Banner, fires off a whole
1o ley cf sec md bard balderdash
at Mr.. Porter in this weeks issue
of his tavorite organ. He does
not thro. any new light on the
point at issue blu. emits a large
quantity of personal spleen and
reasserts his allegiance to the
Ocala Banner He said: "She
has had the pull in the past and to
favor her now would only be- con-
tinuation of the same pull" Here
is the milk in the cocoanut. It
does not require the ken of a phil
osopher to see that the object of
his appointment as commissioner
was to continue the Banners bull
on the county printing. He tries
to throw sand in the eyes of the
people and blind them to the real
point at issue il this contest by in
stituting a comparison between
the clerk hire of Marion and
Alachua counties, by referring in
far off manner to a a"jail job" and
an ''iron fence" thus casting as
persion On the escutcheon of our
present honorable board of county
commissioners.
AS to Mr.. Porter's esteem in
the public favor, that depends al.
together upon which crowd one
trends with. He has never been
popular with the saloon elemen,
or gambling gentry of Oca'a's
population, nor has he ever court.
I'd the favor of those who repudi
ate their just debts. He makes
no claim to superior goodness but
tries to make an honest living anc
''do unto others as he would have
others do unto him." If Mr.. Nc
Leod would mix mere with the
churches of Ocala and less with
the saloons he might be induced
to change his mind as to Mr.. Por
ter's stand ng.
"Oh, wad some power the giftie gle us,
To see oursels as ithers see us.'

ne Gould Not Fool Jonesey with His
f1, ga5S Trick.
Three young men were seated at a
table in a Market street restaurant One
of them drew from his pocket and laid
upon the table silver dollar, says the
Philadelphia Record. Beside it he
placed n visiting card, with round
hole about a. half inch in diameter
pierced through it's center. Said he:
Sec the fat, white dollar? See the little
hole in the card? Bet you the cigars I
can push the big dollar through the
little hole" "I'll go you,'' said one of
his companions; "but, remember, you
are to push that dollar through, that
hole without enlarging the hole.,'
That's what" responded The proposer
of the feat Laying the dollar fiat on the
table, he held the card on edge just be-
hind it. Then he produced a pencil
which he showed through the hole in the
card until it touched the edge of the
coin. Pushing the dollar--through the,
hole, see?" ''Here comes .Jonesey," said

through the hole just as it is-loser to
