Gov. La Toilette has issued a
proclamation designating May l as
Arbor Day. The design of setting
apart a day for this purpose is to
promote a study and culture of
trees and shrubs and insure the
protection of harmless birds. The
day is to be observed by the schools
in an appropriate manner.
G. P. Burnett handed us a copy
of The Daytona Gazette-News, a
weekly paper published at Daytona,
Florida, by Edward Fitzgerald, a
son of our old friend, Mike Fitz-
gerald, the locomotive engineer.
The paper is a seven-column folio,
all home print, with advertising
patronage that gives evidences of
prosperity.
Our attention has been called to
an ordinance of the City Council
that is suffering under compound
fracture. The Council made an or
der last fall that no signs should be
tackled, pasted or painted on the
bridges in the city or the electric
light poles. But such signs be-
deck them generously. Probably
people generally do not know of this
ordinance.
Every fisherman went fishing yes
terday. Some of them sat up all
night Tuesday night so as to be up
in the morning. Some of them
caught fish and some of them
caught colds. The stories they tell
of their catches would be interest
ing to listen to if the evidence were
in evidence. But some big fish
were caught, and more little ones
It seems too bad to catch so many
little fish. It seems to US if the
fishers used larger hooks not sc
many small fish would be destroyed
and so next year there would be
more big ones to catch.
The Easter service at the M. E
church Sunday evening was under
the control of the Sunday school,
and was of much interest to the
large audience in attendance. The
exercises aside from the devotional
features consisted of recitations
and songs. The recitations, ap.
propriate to the occasion, were well
rendered and the singing was ex.
ce1lent. A solo, Jesus Loves Ne, .
