FLORENCE CLIMATE.

Most men are too busy to sit down
and count their blessings Some men
are indifferent and those things which
make the bright spots in lite are ac-
cepted without thought or comment.
Again some selfishly claim all boun-
ties AS their natural right, and accept
them as matter of course and with
no feeling of gratitude.
Perhaps these classes are all repre-
sented in Florence, but there is one
blessing which comes to the people of
this section of the Arkansas valley
that neither the busy, the indifferent
nor the ungrateful can fail to observe,
aud that is our climate.
tain high and the temperature is at
the zero point, emphasizing the scar
city OF fuel and multiplying the suffer
ings of the poor The middle states
are e-buund and stories from the
plains tell of raging blizzards which
add so much TO the ordinary rigors
of winter. They are attended by
heavy loss of stock impeded railroad
traffic and general Generalization
of business
While the people of Florence read
of all this. they themselves are enjoy
ing day after day the blessing of bright
sunshine, and the temperature high
above the freezing mark. All about
us we see and admire the beautiful
snow crested hills and mountains, but
it is case where distance lends en-
chantment to the view. Christmas
was like an eastern Fourth of July,
and the vacation week is such as the
easterner would select in June for his
fishing trip.
People may he mighty mean here
in Florence, and perhaps we don't
deserve it, but the good Lord does
certainly do the right thing with u
in the matter of climate and we ought
to be thankful.

whittemore, of this district, was in

case remains just as it has been for
the past several months.

likely that there will be set Of cleo

man. While Mr.. Enery's would

Observations
....at Random

So much has lately been heard and
said of confetti" that something re-
garding its meaning and origin Will
no aoubt be of interest. There seems
TO be considerable controversy. Now
every one knows that carnival with
out its confetti would be like Christ
mas without its carols or gifts like
the play of Hamlet with Hamlet left
out or any other inoongruity. The
carnivals of Venice, Rome, Naples
since the early centuries, and our own
American carnival of New Orleans
that EQUALS in every way with brill
lance, magnihcence and costliness
those of the Old World, have always
had their confetti. But now the main
thing is that it is genuine confetti and
not a ridiculous and absurd substitute.
Confetti is an italian word and in pure
unsdulterated English it means candy.
There is where our word confection-
ary comes from. In the magnificent
carniyals Of the world, the maskers on
the floats have barrels and boxes OF
candy and as the glittering parade
slowly winds its way along the streets
they throw handfuls Of this candy out
to the watching crowds and toss IL
TO the ladies ON the balconies with gal
liant bows and elaborate flattery. Often
the candy is in dainty boxes tied with
ribbon; or tiny cornucopias in the
royal colors then they are treasured
o. souvenirs of the joyous occasion. 1t
il rather . slam on the pretty OLD
word 90 fraught with romantic and
poetical memories to bring 1t down to
the humbleness Of bits Of paper.
Yet ct carnival time we must give
our exuberant joyousness full sway,
and az we can't afford to throw the
real thing, we must throw the next
best-the harmless confetti" that
no one seriously Objects to when Judi
ciously ussd except perhaps few bill.
ious philanthropists who see every.
thing through the wrong kind Of spec
tacles, anyhow. After all the paper
symbolizes the sentiment, and as we
can all get plenty to cat without
throwing candy, we may throw the
inexpensive paper and enjoy it just as
much. Here's to the approaching
season of confetti!

KENTUCKY DERBY.
A Great Struggle Promised at
Louisville this Season.
Ten Big stakes-Next Saturday May Bird
Will be Derby Day.

Louisville, KY, April 2s-This
years Kentucky Derby, which will be
run on Saturday afternoon May 8,
promises to present one of the greatest
struggles ever seen ON that historic
course. Abe Frank, winner Of the
Tennessee derby, and AllanA. Dale will
meet at least eight Of the best three
year old colts in the west The narrow
margin by which Abe Frank won the
Tennessee derby has filed the owners
Of the other colts with renewed conf
dence, and now all Of them promise to
take try for this Blue Ribbon Classic
Of the Western turf. Thousands Of
people will see the race. They will
come from California to New York,
from the Northwest to New Orleans,
and all the railroads have made q very
cheap rate for the occasion. Churchill
Downs is filled to overlooking with
horses. There are at present 55i
about the track, and 2S carloads will
start for here the day after the Mem
phis meeting ends. These constitute
the best thorouehbreds in the west,
and all turf critics predict that the
meeting will surpass all previous
efforts of the new Louisville Jockey
club. There are about ten big stakes
to be run, which are scheduled for the
following dates: Kentucky derby for
three year olds May 8, Debutante
Stakes for two year old fillies May s.
CLARK Handicap for three and upward
May 10, Bluegrass Stakes for three
year olds May is, Bashford Manor
Stakes for two year old colts May IS,
Frank Fehr Stakes for three and up
ward May 20, Nursery Stakes for
two year Odds May IL, Juvenile
Stakes for two year olds May 90,
Gentlemen's Cup Race May 80, Ken.
tucky Oakes three year old niles
May "a. The mysterious part Of the
Derby prospects is contained in the
action Of John E. Madden regarding
his colt Slipthrift. He told Louis
willie people that this colt was sure to
start in the Kentucky Derby and that
he had fine chance to win, but since
Madden went east with some Of his
horses Slipthrift has disappeared. and
it is now a question among the train
ers at Churchill Downs as to whether
Slipthrift was ever here. Some be-
lieve that the colt is being quietly
prepared at Lexington and that Mad
den will once again spoil the hopes Of
all Tennessee by duplicating his vic
tory with Plaudit over Leiber Karl
in 1898.

Complaint is being made by the
postoffice employees about the great
number of newspapers and packages
that are mailed without sufficient
postage. Under the postal laws these
short paid papers and packages cannot
be dispatched until the full amount of
postage is placed on them, but are held
in this Office and a card notice sent to
the party addressed to send the re-
mainder of postage necessary, when
the package will be forwarded. This
process not only Is great deal Of
trouble to the clecks in the postofiice.
but delays the package for several
days. At the end Of two weeks, il the
postage is not received, the newspa-
pers are destroyed ana the packages
are sent to the dead letter Office. The
public should bear in mind that the
rates Of postage are as follows:
Newspapers and periodicals, cent
for four ounces OF fraction thereof /;
packages of merchandise, cent for
one ounce or fraction thereof; printed
matter and books, cent for two
ounces or fraction thereof.
If in doubt as to the postage re-
quired. it will greatly facilitate the
dispatch of papers to go to the office
and have same weighed, rather than
have them held for several days await
ing postage.
