y :. Williams returned from the
Greenwood normal last week All,
Dutehman, we wonder what is ia"
cause II your non-appearauce IN last
weeks Banner Is it possible that
Won have let Alexander knock you
ont Mr.. Dutchman says that Mr.
Zewadski was the man who intro
duced the hill providing for the elect
ION Of nited States senators for Flor
ida hy direct vote of the people
Where did you get your information,
Dutshman? You did not get 1t out OF
the Banner, | am sure. think IL
Dutrhman will read ''Blitch's Reform
Measures in the Banner Of April
10th. 1897, he will see that Senator
Bitch was the man who made 1t pos
sihle for Us to elect United states sem
aiors by a direct vote of the people.
Won will also see that he was the man
who made il possible for the county
commissioners to be elected in the
same way. Dutchman also says that
MFR. Zewadski was the man that pro-
posed the bill providing for the erect
ion Of poor houses and poor farms.
Where did you get that information,
Dutrhuan? One would imagine
from the mistakes you are making
that you had spent your time reading
penny novels or you surely would have
been better posted on the doings Of
the state. No, no. Mr.. Dutchman;
Sir. Zewadski did not propose any
such bills You will also see in
"Blitch's Reform Measures" in the
Banner Of April 10th, that 1.-THE little
senator" as you call him was the
man who proposed the poor farm bill.
All. Dutchman, / would advise you
To read your papers and get posted be-
fore you attempt TO contradict my
statements MFR. Editor, allow me
10 correct mistake made in my arti-
cle in last weeks Banner by your in
tellieent typo. The sentence should
have read, 1--WE suppose that you
tDutchmanl are afraid to come out
and declare that Senator Bitch was
the right man in the right place as
YOU voted for Messrs. Folks, Savage,
Miller and others on the populist
ticket. instead of Messrs. Bitch, Folks
and Others on the populist ticket. All,
Dutchman, | had it in soak for you.
II YOU had come out last week i.
saw. girls, aren't some of you sorry
for Silverite? lie is having To do his
oxn cooking this week, Mrs. j.: i. Bar
ker being on the sick list is the cause.
The social at Mr.. 4. J. Langiey's last
Friday night was grand affair and
many thanks are extended TO the hos
tesses. Misses Sallie, May and Lorine
Langley for their kind and efficient
services on the occasion Yes,
C,lliopean, you are right in regard to
the legislative pay rolls. 1t was a
scandalou- affair and /, too, hope that
every tax payer will make II thorough
investigation Of the scandalous scenes
that characterized the last few sessions
Of the Legislature. No, Calliopean,
hardly think il necessary for YOU Il
personate any one in your statement
Al least not for the benefit Of the PEG
ple west of Ocala a. know full, wei
who you have reference The ed
itor of the Banner was Incorrect II
