the best newspapers printed in each state
and territory. This list is made up after
careful comparison of Press Clipping re-
suits, based upon actual count.
In its last issue the Blue Book gives a

pers published in Florida, as follows:
The Kissimmee Gazette, The Tallahas-
seean, Fernandina Mirror, Gainesville
Sun, Key West Advertiser, Lake City
Citizen-Reporter, Mariana Times Courier,

1t will be seen that THE STAR is con-
sidered, by the most reliable authority,
to be one of the best weekly newspapers
in Florida. This estimate is made by a
firm that advertises in and reads nearly
every paper published in the United
States. The Press Clipping bureau bases
its conclusions on results, and does not

Escaped Convict Captured.

"Black Hawk" one of the county
prisoners working on the road near Mel
bourne, made good his escape Monday
morning about 10 O'Clock by slipping his
shackles. Mr.. Waller, supervisor of con-
victs, did not know that day which way
the negro went. A posse under the di-
rection of Sheriff Brown captured the
negro Monday night at Rockledge juno
ton, to which place he had walked from
Melbourne with the probable intention
of catching the freight there Tuesday
morning. Black Hawks real name is
TOrbert, and he gave the sheriff's posse a
lively race and tussle before they secured

Fine Exhibit at State Fair.

j. E. Ingraham, third vice-president of
the Florida East Coast railway, recently
spent a week on the lower east coast for
the purpose of gathering together an ex-
hibit from Dade and Brevard counties
for the state fair this week The boards of
county commissioners in these two coun-
ties failed to make appropriations for the
purpose, but the railroad officials decided
to step into the breach and send to Jack
sonville something for visitors to the fair
to see from the lower east coast. As a
result, more than three carloads of choice
fruit, vegetables and plants have been
shipped to Jacksonville, and the exhibit
was properly displayed before the gates
opened Tuesday.
