! SOME OPTICIANS SAVING WOOD FOR IT.
State politics have been slowly sim
mering along for some time. Inc
chunks will be showed closer up under
the pot at the coming meeting OF the

back" and General Miles vision of

headed, able and conscientious. His
ability is unquestiOned, and the first
would be ably represented were he
sent to Observation-Disclosures Times

violent storm prevented the wedding
and the doctor being sick himself the
patient recovered and we are actually
cheated out of both items. "-Quincy
New Era.

sail on certain date. Those who did
not believe in advertising failed to get
tickets, and were left out in the wet
without umbrellas or bathing suits.
AS most of them could not swim,

1t seems probable that Florida will
be beneficiary before the present
congress and that the war claims
which have so long remained unpaid

resertatives Davis and Sparkman.-l
