TEMPORARY CERTIFICATES.

We were in Tallahassee the first Of
this week and had conversation with
State Superintendent W. N. Sheats.
He stated emphatically that he was go
ing to break up the practice of issuing
temporary certificates to teachers by
county superintendents if he had to
call an examination every month in the
year. He has right to call an exam
inatiOn at any time he deems it neces-
sary. He stated that some county su-
perintendents continued to issue tenn
pOrary certificates from time to time
to parties who refused to take the ex-
animation and allowing them to teach
when there were other teachers who
had taken the examination in the coun-
ty and held certificates, who could not
get schools.
We think that Mr.. Sheats is working
on the right line, and feel sure that if

tools and modern methods in farming.
Again everybody is benefited,
The county commissioners might
easily take the matter in hand, and
make annual appropriations for the
support Of the agricultural societies,
and to assist in holding county fairs.
Even the State Legislature would not
make mistake in appropriatfng ten
or fifteen thousand dollars a year for
a State agricultural society and to
hold State fair in some part of
Florida every year. Part of the
amount appropriated by the county
commissioners could be used to defray
the, expenses Of a county exhibit at
the State fairs.
In this way every county in the State
would be properly represented at the
fairs, and much good would accrue
from the advertising received. We
hope to see the press of the State take
this matter up. By getting the farm
ers and public officials, as well as the
citizens generally, interested, much
good can be accomplished.

AGRICULTURAL SOCIETIES.

agricultural societies should be a
fe ture in every county in the State.
ley are highly educational, and the
id erchange of ideas about matters
pSr rtaining to the farm is of vast i'm
pS rtance to the farmers.
Such societies do much in the way
oA advertising the resources and ad-
v$ntages of a community. They at
tn Jet the attention of the world to the
p1 ssibilities of the soil, by showing
jl It what it will produce.
Srhe up-to-date agricultural society
al &sists very materially in the develop
Nd int of a country. Their efforts will
e1 entually result in bringing in a most
d tsirable class of settlers. This creates
a asdemand for farm lands, and every
bkiy knows that the value of real es-
te is based entirely on the demand
f3 it. If nobody wants certain arti-
c it is valueless, but if everybody
v pnts it, it is valuable.
SBy giving county fairs, people are
b fought together from all sections.
D hey are impressed with the agricul-
t ral display, the exhibit of fine stock
t e products of orchard, field and work
sop. A demand has always existed
q ; the fruits of your labor, and the
COUNTY fair tells where that demand
csn be filed. The friendly rivalry
oused causes Mr.. Brown to deter
d inc upon winning next year the pre-.
um captured by MIR. Jones for the
q ttest pig. Mr.. Smith sees Mr.. Greer

Rrse, mule, cow or other animal, OF
prhaps take the premium for the best
agricultural displays and he makes VI
Us mind to win It next year.
Thus everybody is benefited. The

THE ANGORA GOAT.

Bulletin number q from the Bureau
Of Animal Industry at Washington
gives exhaustive information concern
ing this breed, which cannot fail to
promote the growing popularity of the
useful little beast, says the Epitomist.
The Israelites, far back in the antilai-
ty of Biblical times, it seems, made
good use of him, ani tie Turks have
brought him on down to the present
day, in all the purity of that ancient
stock which may have furnished the
royal feasts Of Solomon, and supplied
the fabric which gowned the imperial
queen of Sheba. For all Of which he
has his soft, silky, lustrOns white
hair" to thank probably more than his
gifted appetite. That he is frisky, and
has ambition for dizzy heights, the
writer can attest, for this very morn
ing he found the patriarch of the flock
on the tip-top of the high barn of the
EpitOmist Experiment Station, with a
naughty smirk on his aristocratic face
that only belongs to pedigree and
which no base born goat can ever hope
to attain. The Angora goat has been
working his way into favor gradually
in this country for years, and reports
from all parts indicate that he has
come to stay, in spite of all ill advised
booming of fads that come and go.
His all-roundness as a farm animal,
makes him one Of the things that we
cannot get along without after trial.
He demonstrates his usefulness by
clearing Objectionable things from the
land, and his adaptability by subsist-
ing on what other animals eat If the
weeds and brush give out. He never
seems to have any kick coming about
anything, not even when he is killed
and sold as spring lamb, 7enison or
mutton. Inside and out, for fleece or
flesh, it's all the same to him. He faces
trouble like hero, and never puts on
airs about trusts or unions, nor even
seems ito be discouraged about mans
or dogs inhumanity to things, but
J just goes on browsing and breeding

THEREFORE, when thou dOest thine
aims, do not sound a trumpet before
thee, as the hypocrites do in the syna-
gogues and in the streets, that they
may have glory of men, Some peO-

acts of benevolence could not be ad-
vertised to the world, and it looks as
though Andrew Carnegie belonged to
this class. Still, he is doing some

HOME INDUSTRIES AGAIN.


7hen you get good thing push
it along is an axiom that needs more
folls swers. In other words, if you wish
youk town to grow, push it. Push is
eQkired in this bustling twentieth
ceneury. The business man who fails
to sush himself to the front usually
getS left in the race for wealth. The
citS that is content to plod along in
the. same old ruts soon becomes a
bad number.
d be ur -to-date man has discovered
the secret of success and keeps his
naIe everlastingly before the public.
Th8 town that grows has become mas
ter Df the same secret 1t encourages
neI enterprises. It is not afraid to
maze necessary improvements for the
cor *Tenience and comfort of the general
put lie. It moves. It pushes to the
frokt 1t does things and gets there
wie both feet.
4 be people never tire Of singing the
praise of the town that does things.
Thty have realized that the prosperity
of fae town and their own interests are
ideb btical. They patronize home indus
triss If they want sewing machine,
a I'll of lumber to build house, a new
dr. is, suit of clothes, pair of gloves, or
an Sthing else, they go to their home
mefchants. AS a result the CONNER
ciak interests of the community are on
aund foundation.
1he money spent with home mer-
CHI Stnts and home factories is kept at
hotpe. It is paid cut in clerk hire,
mshanics' wages, house rent, ETC.,
ana finds its way into the till of other
no be enterprises. The labOrer in the
Gig r factory, mill and workshop spends
his money with the dry goods man,
thu grocer and wherever his needs can
beS supplied. He does not send his
m&ney abroad for anything he can
pus schase reasonably cheap at home.
ty patronizing home industries we
hep build up the town We assist the
fad tories we have, and offer encOur-
ag* *ment for others to locate here. In
otter words, we help to create town
that does something.
The merchant that is not willing to
brs sh the cobwebs from the door, who
is Zoo penurious to help, so far as lies
inshis power, to build up his town, is
oftittle benefit to the community. In
this connection we wish to make one
point. If there is a manufacturer in
ydstr city that makes a line of goods
haspdled by you, and he can supply you
ass cheaply as outside factories, why
nd give him the preference? He
mast Fay his employees, and some Ol
thk money will. naturally find its way
bak kk to you. Of course it is presumed
tb It the quality of his goods is as sat
is actory as the line you carry. This
b ing true, it is to the interest of thu
tom for you to patronize the home
| M nufacturer.
H you want to see town take th'
dH rot and. die, just let it be filled VI
vi La people that are antagonistic tC
ed b other. Let the citizens persist il
SO ding abb Oad for articles that could
Ijust as well have been purchased a

wSrk to do, send it to another place
