The Policy Of Inactivity.

Mr.. John Sharp Williams thinks
it not the time to nominate a South
ern man for president, but declares
the time will soon come and when it
does the South will be able to furnish
excellent material. He modestly
counts himself out when the time
comes, but if he is in the land of the
living then, which We trust he will
be, The party will no doubt think
differently. In the meantime he has
been suggested as vice presidential
candidate, and no stronger running

Speaks Well of Miss Kemp.

The Lake City Graphic of April 18th,
speaks in t1attering tones Of the work of
Miss Ella Kemp, who holds the position
of musical instructor in the Lake City
public schools:
An exceedingly delightful musical
entertainment was given at the opera
house last Tuesday night by Miss Kemp
and Miss Slavata.
The stage was beautifully decorated
with potted plants and other accessories.
| The first number rendered was "La
Sonnambula" by Miss Slavata. This
beautiful selection was skillfully and
charmingly given. Miss Slavata's play
ing delights not only the ear but
reaches the heart.
Then followed the piano solo "Bee-
thoven Sonata" by Miss Kemp. Miss
Kemp losses the notes off the keyboard
with the mastery and style that belongs
only to the artist. In her selection
played by the left hand alone she dis
played marvellous technic and in hel
pianissimo passages her delicate touch
was smooth and marked for it's perfect
clearness Of tone.
For over two hours these two ladies
with their assistants delighted the
music lovers of Lake City.
The High School Boys Quartette il
their song "The Jolly Boys were en-
Enthusiastically received and put the aud
fence in happy humor. Their Laugh
ing Encore" was decided hit.
The High School Girls Quartette
always 50 popular, rendered the "Voca
Waltz" in most charming manner ant
uron being recalled, captivated The
audience with their rendition of Comm
Thro the Rye"
We are also very proud Of our Higl
School Glee Club, for their harmoniou:
music is always delight to the aud
fence, and their last selection was ;
most fitting closing of very excellen
entertainment. These vocal numbers
also reflect great deal of credit OF
Miss Kemp.

EATS after MANY YEARS
The History Of How Bad Stomach Trouble Was
Quickly and Permanently Cured.

scribable suffering. l have taken four %
cent boxes of DR.. Kay's Renovation and one
$l.00 size, and have had no return OF the
pain for four weeks. l can now eat things
that have not dared to touch for ten years.
This is the experience continually have
with my patients, and it is why SO emphati-
cally and unhesitatingly prescribe my DR..
Kay's Renovator as general tonic, builder
up, stomach regulator, and cure for all
kidney and liver diseases.
AS l have said before any stomach trouble
is dangerous. If neglected it will result i'll
ulcers and these ulcers covering the delicate
mucous membrane of this important organ,
create the greatest havoc. Not only do they
act disastrousy on the patient, but there is
always danger of one of these striking q
blood vessel, thus causing hemorrhage, in
which event the patient is liable to fall dead
with only few minutes warning.
If YOU are suffering with indigestion, l
would recommend that you go at once to the
nearest druggist and procure box of DR..
Kay's Renoyator. If your druggist does not
have it write me in person, and while writ
ing, describe fully your symptoms. Per-
haps may deem it best to give you some
special advice besides sending you the he
noyator. This special advice you are en-
titled to free of charge, and if any patient
who is sceptical would like to have sample
of the Renoyator before buying, either %
cent or a 5O-cent package of it, will gladly
send same also free. Remember that all

Attention
Farmers

Why remain in the North
and stay in doors six months in
the year consuming what you
raise during the other six
months?
Go South where you can
work out doors every month
in the year, and where you
are producing something the
year round. If you are a
stock raiser you know your
stock are now "eating their
heads off" and, besides, have
to be protected from the rigors
of winter by expensive shelter.
Economical stock feeding
requires the combination of
both f1esh-forming and fat
forming foods in certain pro-
portions. Alabama and Florida
produce in abundance the vel
vet bean and cassava, the first a
flesh producer, the latter a fat
producer, and they are the
cheapest and best fattening
material known to the world.
More money can be made
and with less labor, in gen
eral farming, fruit and berry
growing and truck gardening
along our road in the South
than in any other section of
the Union.
If you are interested and
desire further information on
the subject, address
