MRS. THAw SHOULD NOT COMPLAIN

MRS. THAW SHOULD NOT COMPLAIN.
From the Tampa Tribune.
Mrs. Thaw, motherinlaw OF the
specimen of brio a-brac recently pur-
chased for the Thaw family, delares
that "the freedom with which ci-
piers are thrown about by printers
s typical of the age. Well, she
Gun blame her own family, if the
printers have not used correct fig
ures in speaking of the late trans
action in earls. The matter was as
public and freely talked of as would
nave been the purchase of an island
or steamboat, and size should have
taken the public completely into
her confidence and told exactly how
much was paid for Yarmouth and
the terms of the sale. The Ameri-
can public is never satisfied with
half condolences, and if the newspa-
pert can't get the actual facts, they
will manufacture some of it. Now,
let Mother Thaw come out with all
the particulars and tell just what
that battered and spattered noble
man cost her.
But, whether the reporters and
printers have or have not been care
jul with their figures, and however
severe the newspapers may have
been in their criticisms, the mother
las no right to complain, for her
part in the affair has been anything
but creditable 1t was, to all intents
md purposes, an open bargain and
sale, as much so as if the girl had
been put on the block for fortune
hunters to bid on. And it was not
m rely sale, but it was sale where
tn re was hagsling and counter-of.
fe 8 on each side before the bargain
was completed.
Mrs. Thaw knew what manner Of
man she was dealing with. She
knew him to be a decayed and dis
credited specimen of the fortune
hunting aristocracy, who had run
away from his creditors at home
and was on the look out for a wife
with a dowry which would enable
him to return home and face his
lishonored financial obligations.
And with this knowledge of the
man she was dealing with, she went
on and concluded the virtual sale of
her own flesh and blood. The vendor
of the human property attacks and
condemns the American papers be-
cause they saw proper to assist her
in giving publicity to the transac-
ton. Really this motherinlaw of
nobility assumes too much.

The last issue of the Lake Worth

News West Palm Beach, tells a
length what has been accomplished
during the past year by the Board o.
Trade of that thriving city. Since
May ID, 1902, this board has been
instrumental in improving the gen
eral sanitary condition of the city;
has published and circulated de
scriptive matter of that section; hat
increased the water pressure, or
ganized and improved fire depart
ment; has secured a competent male
principal for the public school; has
been instrumental in road construc-
ton; has encouraged the improve
ment Of the telephone service; has
built an addition to the school houses:
has assisted in the organization OF
an electric light aud power company;
has secured separate waiting rooms
for white and colored at the rail
way station; has instituted a weather
signal service; and has assisted it,
home town and county in many
ways, to say nothing of the effect
Of the simple possession by town
of a live Board of Trade. The DE-
Land Board of Trade accomplished
many good things few years age,
but our people are now too bus,
lighting and quarrelipg with eacl
other to work for their own and tn,
common good. In few months
they will see the error of their way.
will come together and work in han
mony as never before. An ener-
ergectic Board of Trade could &C.
complish much good for DeLand
just now. If our people would just
work in unison and harmony, they
could make DeLand bloom as the
rose this coming winter. Will they
do il?

death and desertion to about six hun.
dred.
In the year l776 application was
made to the authorities at st. Angus.
tine to be released from their CON.
tract, saying that it was worse than
slavery. The petition was grant ed
them and they were released. Lib.
eral offers were made to induce them
to remain, but they said they had suf'
fered too much already and on that
account would stay no longer at New
Smyrna. They went to st. Angus M
in a body and received small tracts OF
land on which they built homes and
raised vegetables. And among the
most respected citizens of st. Angus
tine today are their descendants.
In 1853 when Florida was ceded to
Spain, New Smyrna was deserted on
account of the Spanish government
wanting them to swear allegiance to
the Spanish crown and become Catho-
lies, and but few of the old settlers
ever came back. 1t practically re-
manned uninhabited until 1919, when
Florida was coded to the United
States.
After this settlers began to occupy
all the land along the coast and there
were sixteen large plantations planted
which were destroyed by the Indians
in 1886. At the close of the Indian
War New Smyrna was again left desc.
late but settlers old and new began to
come again, and in 1861 at the begin.
ming of the Civil War it was once
more a prosperous town. And all
through the Civil War the Port Of
New Smyrna was considered so i'm
portan by the Federal soldiers that a
blockade was ordered at this port.
At the close of the Civil War New
Smyrna was again almost depOpulat-
ed, but the healthfulness of the loca-
ton and the means by which one
could gain livihood, attracted many
settlers. Very soon a railroad was
built through this place which gave
new life to the settlement and build
ing was begun. and many improve
ments made, changing it from mere
settlement into prosperous town.

Next to a mans family and business
nothing should stand dearer to mans
heart than the community in which
he lives. 1t is home. 1t is the place
in which he earns his competence and
educates his children. If he wants to
make it as popular, as thrifty and
widely known as possible, he cannot
afford to be Indifferent to anything
that will further these ends. 1t can
be said that town that is not worthy
of the devotion of its citizens in max
ing it widely and generally prosperous
is a town in which it Is not worth
while to live at all. If town il any.
thing it IL worthy of our greatest en-.
ergy, whether we receive an immedi.
ate dividend in dollars and cents or
whether we merely take our share of
the common benefits accorded our
home town.-American Record.
