The Month of Augmst.

The month of highest temperatures
fifty derives its name from that of
the Emperor Augustus, who was the
warmest baby in the bunch (de fasci-
culO infans calidissimus.)
T In August sin goes down to the
seashore and the churches close their
doors.
Politicians lie low; just enough,
in fact, to keep their hand in.
The leisure classes are more viO-
lently leisurely than ever.
Summer girls roll up their sleeves
and acquire a coat of arms (tan).
Hay fever is in the public eye.
Vacations are gone on; fewer noses
are being held to the grindstone;
more are being blistered, and bust
ness is correspOndingly dull.
Love is cheap and talk is eternal.
1t is the time of hearts, hammocks
and Authorizations; of happiness
made up of carbonic acid gas and
havoring eXtract.-Life. q

The Ocala base ball club will ar
rive in the city next Wednesday for
a game with the home team. The
game will be played in the afternoon
at the ball park and should draw to-
gether all lovers of the sport in this
city.
1t will be remembered that the
Ocala club beat our team two
straight games early in the month
on the Ocala grounds, and that both
games were holly contested. The
local team will be strengthened
somewhat in the approaching con-
test, and there is no doubt that
games of surprising interest will re-
suit.
On Thursday afternoon next the
Ocala and st. Augustine clubs will
play match game here.

A Gard of Thanks,

We desire through this medium to
express our thanks and profound
gratitude to those who so feelingly
did all in their power to mitigate our
grief by their helpful presence and
sympathy at the time of our sore be-
reavement. in the sudden and unex-
pected death of husband and father.
May their noble deeds and comfort
ing words, which wilLlive and bios
som when they sleep in the dust, be
recorded with the actions of the Just
and bear the richest fruits in their
souls prosperity for time and eterni-
ty. And may sweeter voices fall
with higher meaning than human
faith can give, to. convey to them our
united thanks and blessings.

For Increased Potato Crops

= w 20
Major w. l.. Glessner, the ener-
getic land commissioner of the q. 5.
4 f. R'y., has been spending cOnsid-
cradle time at points in Putnam
county, and along the line of his
road, in an effort to induce the far
mers to plant potatoes for Il spring
crop. And so far with great success,
In many of the small places the far
mers have organized themselves into
potato growers associations and each
association has pledged large
acreage.
Major Glessner states that on the
line of the G. S. d +. between White
Springs and Palatka over 1000 acres
will be planted, and that this in
sures a crop sufficient to bring buy
ers along the line 10 buy up the
crops.
BY association the farmers will get
the advantage of the best prices on
seed and barrels, and through the
association in each town the bulk OF
buying will be done. There are
thousands of acres of excellent pota-
to lands along the line of this road,
and through this organized effort il
is hoped to bring IL large measure of
prosperity to each of the stations.

A Tight Sunday.

Palatka was closed tight last Sun
day. Vendors of cigars, peanuts,
cool drinks, fruits, etc, all had their
places of business closed by order of
the chief of police, who had been re-
quested by the mayor to enforce the
Sunday law,
In times past there has been IA
great deal of kicking on the part of
citizens because of the strict enforce
me 1t of this law. The kicking came
from both those who sold and those
who bought Sunday refreshments.
The kicking was renewed last Sun
day.
When seen regarding his orders to
have the Sunday law enforced Mayor
Nickers said:
when first elected to this Office |
stated that | was willing the fruit
stands should remain open Il part of
the day provided no displays were
made. | did this out of considera-
ton for the public. Lately these
stands and other establishments
have been keeping open all day
Some of the owners of fruit stands
also keep dry goods and notions and
they We're conducting regular bust
ness in all lines. | am credibly in
formed that these dealers had been
advised by certain officials that
they had as much right to keep open
all day as during only part of it;
they refused to be satisfied with
the privilege accorded them and
which was given in response to pub
lie demand. These dealers will now
stay closed all day, or until such
time as they are willing to concede
that the American Sunday was not
instituted primarily for the business
of trafIicking in Virginia cheroOts,
peanuts, fruit and sCft drinks. The
native Christian people of this city
have still some rights which the
Syrian fruit dealer will be compelled
to respect-at least during my in
of the office of mayor"

to disarm her because her machinery had

DIR. DABNEY INAUGURATED.
Inducted as Head of University of
Cincinnati Today.

CINCINNATI, November 16.-Dr. Charles
w. Dabney was today inaugurated presi-
dent of the University of Cincinnati. Presi-
dents of a number of universities and col
leges and many leading educators were in
attendance. The oath was administered by
Judge A c. Thompson of the United States
District Court.
MIR Dabney, in his inaugural address, dis
cussed Democracy and the School He
said in part:
Let us cast out of our minds all half
hearted arguments for the free education
of all the people. 1t is true that it pays a
community to educate all its youth, but
the public school is not Il charity institu-
ton. School houses and school masters are
cheaper than jails. and soldiers; but we
do not found the public school on any such
ground as this.
such arguments for free schools are little
less than an insult to free people. The
true democracy is something nobler than a
policeman guarding and protecting our
property and rights. The democracy
establishes its public schools to train new
citizens, and to fit them for self-govern-
ment, and when it shall have done its duty
in this Inspect there will be need of
policemen and soldiers"
