The squirt of enterprise exhibited
by the TImes-Union in its report O.
the MetamOra disaster on the Ockla
waha river last week would be com
mendable enough were it continuous
and applied to all parts of the STATE
alike. There have been, and within
the memory OF men now living, othel
and greater disasters by rail anC
flood in this state, which that paper
has pretended not to see, and has ig
nOred entirely. But PalatKa is mo-
in the class of eXempts, and III deal
ing this city and its industries {
body blow it's masters interests are
not affected. Such one-sided news
paper work is not alone unfair, bu
contemplate. If the Times Unior
will go and get a reputation for pub
fishing the news without fear or ia.
vor, treating all parts of the state
and its varied interests with equaI
fairness. then and not till then will
it be entitled to the general respect
and confidence of all the people OF
Florida; then will it become neces.
sary for its management to get new
and swifter press.
