The tobacco growers of this ter

better prices. Very little of the
staple has been put on the market
yet. The farmers say they have
been imposed upon by the buyers
just as long as they are going to

We Paid 100000

for the rights to Liquozone for the United

in the most difficult germ diseases; then
we bought these rights for the highest
price ever paid for a scientific discovery.
We paid that price because Liquozone
does what all the skill in the world can
not do without it. Any drug that kills
germs is poison to you and it cannot be
taken internally. The best physicians,
the world over, employ Liquozone alone

All that medicine can do for these troubles
is to help Nature overcome the germs,

Radiant Tropical Birds.
There are about seven species Of
flamingoes inhabiting the tropical parts
Of both hemispheres, three of which
are in-America, frequenting the BAHIA.
mas, Florida and Cuba. In height the
bird averages about FIVE feet, and If its
curved neck we've stretched to its full
length it would tower above the head
of an ordinary man. Flamingoes breed
in May and June. At this period their
bright colored plumage is faded 1t as.
sumes lis most radiant hues in winter.
When first Matched, the young have
a straight bill, which after time de.
velops into one of bent shape. Their
first plumage is grayish white and
passes through various tints Of pink,
rose, carmine or vermilion to the full
scarlet of the adult, which reaches its
deepest shade on the wings. Several
years are necessary to perfect the
final gaudy plumage.
The eggs are white, showing blue
tinge when scraped under the surface.
They are long, oval and have q thick
shell, equaling in size that Of the com.
mon goose. The flesh is not palatable
to the taste, being extremely oily.
They feed upon both animal and vege
table matter from the ooze and soft
bottoms of the shallow waters and
lagoons selected by them both as
feeding ground and nesting place.
When flying, their long legs are stretch
ed out behind and the neck becomes
straight. They have peculiar voice
and sort Of one syllable cutlery,
which they utter as an alarm signal
the moment they are approached OF
believe themselves to be in danger.
On account of their keen eyed and
wary nature 1t is almost impossible to
get within close range Of them. They
walk with slow and cautious tread.

didn't pay up their license taxes ~
stanter' is somewhat silly, in view Of
the fact that heretofore considerable
latitude has been allowed them, and
since within rhr ce or four days aft

which is probably the most prompt
settlement ever made since the city

because of the further fact that the

Now, if we can not lay such stuff
as that to the stupidity of the editor.
for we give him credit for having
better sense of discernment than that.
hence we are forced to think, that he
is simply begging the question in the
hope of misleading some one or two
of his followers whom he tries to i'm
pose upon. No one knows better than
the Times editor who is guilty Of silli-
ness in this matter We were not
urging the payments OF the license
nor condemning any one for not pay

ing to help the Mayor live UP to his
declaration in open council that he
would close up all the places whose
proprietors did not pay by "Wednesday
morning. Good as his word, he went
around bright and early on the look
out for his victim and ten to one if it
had been the Prominent Place so often
referred to in the Times, 1t would
have had a paddock and chain on 1T
before noon. But there is where the
mayor fell down. He was not eN,2ct-
ing one of the triumvirate to come
within the pale of his edict and SO
he was stuck. Now, taking the Times
at it's word once and granting that
some one was silly to try to make the
saloon men dig up" the money i'll SO

could stumble on to the silly party?
That may be TOO hard for his sense
of mind TO undertake to fathom. but

said that the firm he was connected

and the amount of freight that they
tipped by water in lieu Of rail was
enormous. Since the threatened strike
between the A. F. G. w. L. and the
