LOZIER QUALITY AND FINISH.

Every operation in the construction of
Lozier engines is conducted under the
supervision of competent inspectors. The
materials of which the Lozler engine is
made are the best which 1t is possible to
procure. The heavy forgings, castings
and cranks, all fittings, and i'm fact every
part of the engine, are made in the fOun-
dry, forging rooms and machine shops of
the LOzier Company, and this work be.
ing done under a rigid system of inspec-
ton, insures the absence of defects and
imperfections which would undoubtedly
be encountered if parts were purchased
from miscellaneous manufacturers. The
magnificent facilities of the Lozier Com
pany contribute in no small degree to the
high quality of their engines. Brains and
skill are of course essential, but would be
placed at disadvantage without proper
facilities in the way of modern machin-
cry, tools and appliances to enable de-
signers, experts and skilled workmen to
utilize their ideas, skill and work to the
best possible advantage.

Mrs. Frances Boye, the aged mother of
Mrs. Jas. Pritchard and County Treasurer
f. II. Boye, died Sunday at the residence
of her son-in-law, Capt. JAS. Pritchard,
from a prolonged illness and gradual de-
cline, having reached the ripe age of four
score years and three. Mrs. BOye was
born and raised in st. Augustine and for
many years was resident of Key West.

one of the heirs of the famous Delespine
grant property. Mrs. BOye was known
by wide circle of friends as woman of
most estimable qualities, possessing a
deeply sympathetic nature and a fine
motherly character which caused her to
be deeply loved and highly respected by
all. The burial service was held at st.
Gabriels church Monday morning, Arch
deacon B. F. Brown officiating, the SER
vice being concluded at the grave, in Ti-
tusville cemetery. The funeral service
was largely attended and as a mark of
respect the members of both the school

Fishermen, Attention!

Having fully satisfied myself that the
fish law, now in operation, Will not ad-
init the catching of mullet from Nov. 15
to Dec. 81, this is to warn all fishermen
that in catching those fish not prohibited
at this season, some way must be de-
vised to exclude mullet from your nets.
While thoroughly in sympathy with the
fishermen of Brevard county, still the
law as construed at Tallahassee must be
obeyed. We did not make the law, but
as officers thereof we are bound to follow
it as laid down in the statute.
Very respectfully,
A. d. PENNEY,
County Judge.

To the Hon., the Judge of the Circuit Court
in and for the Seventh Judicial Circuit of
Florida:
We, the grand jurors of the state of
Florida inquiring in and for the body of
the countv ut Brevard. beg leave TO make
this our general presentment.
We have investigated all matters of
criminal nature which have been
brought before us and have taken such
action thereon that in our Judgment the
testimony warranted.
We have investigated the books and
accounts of the various officers and find
that the accounts are correctly kept and
the books in neat shape, and We find
that the accounts are regularly kept and
upon comparison we find that there is no
discrepancy existing in them. While on
this line we would respectfully call the
attention of the hoard of county COM
missioners to the fact that they are pay
ing interest on their over drafts or month
ly balances against them IN the banks at
the rate of 10 per cent. per annum,
whereas the school board for the same
accommodation is only paying per cent.
We respectfully recommend that the
board OF county commissioners make ar
rangements to reduce the rate Of interest.
We respectfully recommend that the
board of county commissioners take i'm
mediate steps towards enlarginy the
clerk Office in order that there may be
accommodation for the public as well as
proper and necessary room for the officer
and his deputies and the safe keeping
and care of the records, the present
building being wholly inadequate. We
deem that the carrying out of this recon-
mendation is an absolute necessity for the
proper conduct of the business of our
county.
We respectfully recommend to the
school board that they discontinue the
employment of the general or visiting
teacher, as we deem it an unnecessary
expenditure of funds not warranted by
the conditions of the schools and the
county finances.
We respectfully call the attention of
| the governor to the vacancy caused by
the removal of G. Frank Conkling, JUS
tice of the peace for the sixth district,
from Melbourne to Mayport, outside the
county, and beg leave to state to him
that there is necessity for justice of the
peace in that district, and request that
he declare Conkling suspended or remoV-
ed, and authorize the appointment of
some other suitable person.
We also wish to compliment our sheriff,
Jos. 2. Brown, on the neat appearance
of the jail and the grounds in general.
We urge that the county court use
more care in the trial of cases, SO that
criminals guilty of felonies may not be
tried for misdemeanors and thus escape
the penitentiary. The low state of the
fine and forfeiture fund, as we'll as the
demands of punitive justice, make this
imperative.
We extend your honor our thanks for
uniform kindness shown us hy your
honor, and also to the various officers of
the court for their prompt auJ courteous
treatment, and pray to be discharged.
