POLITICAL YEAR.

During the year upon which
we are now entering elections
are to be held in Florida by
which officers, high and low,
will be named for the several
positions to be filed. In our
county a Senator, two Repre-
sentatives, Tax Assessor, Tax
Collector and others are to be
elected, and the campaign will
open in earnest within a few
months.
Of course the people as a
whole desire to keep in touch
with what is going on, and want
to be advised of all political
happenings. The best way to
accomplish this desire is to send
in your subscription to The New
Enterprise.
Whatever happens will be
duly recorded and published and
unless you are a subscriber you
are liable to miss a great deal
of what will happen. Send in
your subscription now.

THE NEW YEAR.

Another year has passed into
history and we now stand upon
the threshold of the second di'
vision of what premises to be
the grandest of the centuries
since the beginning of time.
The year just past has been
like other years--successful to
many and disastrous to Others.
The same order has existed
throughout the history of the
world and will continue to be
until the end of time,
We believe that the year past
has been, to our people one of
unusual prosperity. While the
crops have been small the in
creased price for the products
of the soil have about Offset the
difference. AS a rule our farm
ers are well supplied with the
necessities of life to tide them
over until the next harvest time,
and many of them besides full
storehouses have money safely
deposited IN bank.
Our town has improved won.

new business houses have been
established, trade has been
brisk and everyone bears a

With a capital Of 100000 900, an or
ganization having br inches in almost
every town in this country and a prac-
tcally complete control of all the beef
and pork produced in Uncle Sans do

company is now ready for business.
The little group of food magnates
who direct this monster combination
thus become characters of public in

the house of Armour, variously esti-

Mr.. Armour knows the meat business
from the ground up. For sixteen years
he worked ten hours n day in all the
departments in which the Armour
business is systematized. He is of me-
dunn height. slender figure and has
light hair. There is little in his appear
ance to Indicate the great capacity for
work that he possesses. For many
years he was his fathers chief aid and
received a thorough training for the
responsibilities that now devolve upon
him.
His life is divided between his work
and his home. He does not care for
society and is not n clubman. The Ar
mour employees have a high opinion
of him. They tell a story of a man who
went on strike at Armour's at the time
of the Pullman affair. Several months
later young Armour learned that the
mans child was dead. the mother i'll
and the family suffering for food. He
slipped S1o0 into an envelope, sent it to
the woman and gave the man employ

board of directors of the new COM

credited with having made over 500

little better than when he was a
Waterman in the stockyards forty
years ago. 1t is said of him that he

The best use to make of old bones
is to break them up and bury them

thoroughly before planting or sowing.
