Talking Up the interior.

At the Aragon Hotel yesterday
there were two gentlemen indus
triously an enthusiastically discuss
ing the great prosperity of the interior
towns of Florida. They were George
K. Robinson, of Ocala and E. NJ.
Cheney, of Orlando.
"There is no discounting the fact,
said Mr.. Cheney, THAT the interior
towns are coming into prominence.
We have, down in Orlando, outlived
the freeze, and to-day we are more
prosperous than ever. We are build
ing good streets and taking and
active part in the construction of
good road. 1 am confident that we
will double our population in ten
years. There are all kinds of i'm
provements going on, and Orlando is
to-day the best interior town of the
state"
Il don't agree with you," said Mr..
Robinson. I'm Ocala there is not
vacant store, a vacant warehouse or
a vacant dwelling, and the railroads
are using all of their fiatcars in the
state to haul lumber TO Ocala for
building purposes. We are to Florida
down there what Atlanta is to Geor-
gia. We are going ahead at a rate
that frightens the natives of Gaines
vile, who have always watched us
grow with a jealous eye. But, by
the way, Gainesville is booming. If
this thing of building keeps up they
will need a brick yard or two in that
city or near by in order to supply the
demand. They tell me that they are
preparing to build a solidline of brick
blocks from the public square down
West Main street to the Atlantic
Coast Line yards"
And Edwin Brobston, the Jackson
vile real estate dealer, was listening
to what was being said with open
mouth establishment. Jacksonville is

Mss Rexis Todd's Party.

Fourteen of the little girl friends of
Miss Rexie Todd were entertained by
her in a most beautiful manner yes
terday afternoon.
1t was Miss Rexie's eighth birthday
and she invited her little friends to
come and help her enjoy the after
noon. She was assisted in the pleas
ures of the afternoon by her mother,
Mrs. c. c. Todd, her grandmother,
Mrs. Green and Misses Margaret
Taylor and Sara Harris.
For quite awhile games were play
ed on the front lawn and then later
a flag hunt was enjoyed. Quite a
number of tiny flags had been hidden
about the yard and the children had
great fun trying to find their hiding
places. Miss Tommie STANDBY found
the largest number and TO her was
given a very pretty silk flag as a SOU
venir.
The next contest was pinning stars
on the L. S. flag. A large flag was
hung from the banister and each
child blindfolded was given a small
star to try to pin on one of the stars
on the flag. Quite a number came
very near reaching the desired spot
but Miss Nettie Chambers was for
tunate enough TO pin her star direct
" over one of the stars in the flag
and so she received the prize, a box
of candy, tied with red, white and
blue ribbons.
After this contest more games were
enjoyed and then the little ones
marched into the dining room by
twos. The hostess and Master James
Chace, the only boy asked to the
party, led the march.
On the center of the table was a
birthday cake in which were burn
ing cOlOred wax candles, signifying
the age of Miss ReXie. Ice cream,
cake and candies were served and
were greatly enjoyed.
Quite a number of pretty birthday
gifts were presented to Miss ReXie
and in every way her party was a
great success.

entering the boarding house and
restaurant of Early Johnson. near

The proprietor of the house was
awakened by Daniels striking
matches, he had a big knife in his

murder if he encountered resistance.

sleepers and Daniels was finally
driven from the house.

Worlds fair at St louis.

The attendance at the St.Louis Fair
is increasing notably. The receipts
for the last half of June was some
thing over $500, 900. The 40 per cent of
this went TO the government met the
pending claim, and the expectation
is that the payment due in July will
be made without trouble. The pros
pect of the government having to take
over the enterprise and run it to Sc
cure its loan is now slight. This is
gratifying not merely for the people
who invested their money in the ex-
position, but on the ground of nation
al pride and national education. This
fair is one of the things which ought
to be seen by all intelligent Ameri-
cans. The interest in such great
shows has notably subsidized in recent
years, and the experience of st. Louis
will discourage the repetition of the
undertaking in this country for a
good while. Therefore, the chance
to see the remarkable architecture
and the instructive exhibits now on
view there will not come again soon.
