Gainesville Sun: Everything considered.
the Democrats of Florida are about as
harmonious as they well can be. They
are almost unanimously in favor of Bryan
for the presidency, and If there were more
sensions among Democrats as to local cam
didates Ii is the strength of the Demo-

It is now only matter of a short while
ere Gainesville will have one of the most
complete fertilizer factories in Florida. The
new building being erected by the FLORIDA
feftilzer Manufacturing Company is fast

the regular number of cigars are turned
out every week. This shows that the CITY
is by no means in the serious condition
that many would have it appear.

occurred in Florida, IS now in its incip-
iency, and the first step relative thereto
was taken Tuesday afternoon. The ca So
