GEORGIANA.

The Georgiana school closed Friday,
the 22nd, with public exhibition by the
school in the pleasant grove of Rev. A.
V. Hiscock. A number of visitors were
present, besides the scholars and patrons
of the school. Many were here from
Indianola and elsewhere. A picnic dim
ner preceded the public exercises. The
whole affair passed off most agreeably
and pleasantly. The scholars and the
people present made the occasion one of
social and profitable entertainment. Miss
Beatrice Sanders closes our school with
credit to herself as teacher and with
profit to her pupils. The school during
the term has moved off pleasantly and it
is believed proftably all round. If there
are any to complain they have kept their
complaints to themselves and allowed the
school a free hand to accomplish good
results, for which all feel thankful.

The Florida State Press associa-
ton certainly enjoyed their stay
in the thriving little city of Miami
last week to the fullest extent pos
sible. The people of the Magic
City did themselves proud as en-
tertainers, and long viii the edi-
tors remember the pleasant ac-
quaintances made there, the de-
lightful trips provided for them,
and the novel scenes in vegetable
farming and tropical fruits pre-
sented to them. There never was
a finer display of vegetables made
in this state than that of the Dade
County fair, which was open that
week. This fair was a revelation
to the state press as well as to the
hundreds of northern tourists, who
went into ecstacies over the mann
moth Irish potatoes, the large
squashes, carrots, fine peas, toma-
toes, etc., on exhibition. Many
people exclaimed: "We have never
seen anything to equal this" We
believe that we voice the sentiment
of the entire association when we
say that the stay was too short and
that the editors would only have
been too glad to spend fully a week
more at Miami.
Mr.. Tatum, of the Metropolis,
dropped everything and gave his
undivided time to the entertain
ment, welfare and happiness of the
brethren, while Secretary Apple
yard was always at hand to assist
the pencil pushers whom he has
served so faithfully in this capacity
for the past ten years.
The retiring president, Mr.. J. w.
White, has been an untiring work
er for the association the past year.
AS our presiding officer he has faith
fully and impartially discharged
the duties of his Office with credit
to himself and the association. We
wish him always success.

The State Tax Lew.

The Kissimmee Valley Gazette
suggests change in the system of
raising funds for running the state
government by doing away with
the state tax levy except on rail-
road and telegraph companies. The
statement, il says, is made on high
authority, that if the revenue for
the state government was derived
solely from railroad and telegraph
companies and the state license
taxes as now levied, it would suf-
flee for the present expenses. Then
there would be no necessity for an
equalization board. Each county
could work out its own salvation,
and the machinery of taxation
would be entirely localized.
Even granting that the proposed
change would raise enough reve-
nue. to run the state, as suggested,
1--WE do not believe it would) the
railroad and telegraph companies
would no doubt enter serious and
effective objection to such as class
legislation.
We would suggest as a better
plan that the counties be allowed

PRESIDENT THwING, of the West
ern Reserve university, at Cleve-
land, o., notes a somewhat heavy
falling off in the number of stu
dents attending the divinity school
of the university. He says that
there are apparently two influences
that keep young college men from
entering the ministry. One is the
larger inducements which CONNER
cial careers are offering, and the
other is the unsettlipg of doctrinal
beliefs and doubt as to the future
relation of the church to society.
Young men are puzzled, he says,
by the question whether the
church is to be a 'place of wor-
ship, as in former days, or a club
of the new institutional type,
where games are played, where
there are gymnasiums, and where
there are classes for secular stu
dies"
