day Homeland was well repre-
scented ~ the Romeo picnic last Fri
day. but many we're disappointed at
the non-adpearance of Statesman Ze-
wadski, and wonder why it is that he
will not let us hear the eloquenee of
his vocahular T.. r. Parker is

that have at least one friend among
the Banners correspondents. L
am sorry for Bonnie Prince Charlie
Of Grahamville. lie says he is snow
ed under and without an opening to
crawl out or any one to give HIM sue
cor. Probably if the Bonnie Prince
will consult his godfather Iewadski
he will help him out of his sad pre-
dicament Now, /: Bonnie Prince
had said that Senator Bitch had done
much fer us the few times lie has
worked for us in Tallahassee. am
sure his situation would have been
quite different, for ] could truthfully
endorse his article. suppose the
next time Bonnie Prince cuts at
Banner spondent he will be sure
that he can prove his statements TO be
true as half the story has not yet been
told | mean in regard to shat Mr..
Zewadski did in Tallahassee and
probably never Will as the Journals Of

brays for his godfather Zewadski.
lie says: Look here, Silverite don't
be grumbling about Mr.. Zewadski
and running him down. Sweep be-
fore your own door, Does Scrub
Jack really know whereof he speaks,
or Is he going it blind-folded? Does
Scrub Jack know Of any good bills
that his god father passed or ever pro-
posed? If he does, will he please
mention few Of them in his articles

Jack is doing all this wind jamming

well acquainted with all the pioneer
settlers in that neighborhood, having
spent four years in that section my
self, when a boy Gnat, of Har-
lowe, says to give honor to whom
honor is due, and that Zewadski is de-
serving of portion at least. Will he
please explain in his letters in what
direction that honor lies. am aware
that he is worthy of some notice in one
direction and one only, and that is
what he did while in Tallahassee that

Will Gnat also tell Us wherein Mr.. Ze-
wadski has won any laurels for his
crown? No, no, Chat, hardly think
Mr.. rs influence can be felt in any
ones cotton patch or in the anels of
prosperity, either Gnat also asked
what has Senator Bitch done for the
people while in Tallahassee? l can
truthfully say and without fearing
it will be contradicted, that Senator
Bitch has broken the records of the
past in working for our interests the
few times he has worked for us in Tai
lshassee. He has done more actual
good for the working class than any Of
his predecessors ever did since the
foundation of the democratic party,
as he is one among the few that has
returned with a spotless record. He
certainly has the interest of his people
at heart and acts when and while in
office. really think he would make
one Of the best L. 5. senators our state
has ever had and propose that he be
run for our next IL. :. senator from
Florida at the next election So
