1.-The kind of flower l allude to is in
digenous to all climates. 1t has been
known to the most superficial student
of botany from the very earliest histo-
rical records; and has flourished in va
, ric'ls degrees of perfection ever since.
, The first mention is made Of it,
found only in the Garden of Eden. 1t
is not of tuberous nor yet of bulbCus
origin; strange to say, this flower was
developed from a rib, taken from one
of the genus homo. This appears to
be the most remarkable and yet the
best product of that specie. 1t is
also the only similar product that
sprang from the same source, although
of ri,. va
since been planted at all seasons of
the year and in all kinds of soil. 1t
appears that in the early development
this flcwer had a very scanty foliage,
at first none at ALL but nowadays the
foliage is often so varied and extrava-
giant in design and quantity as tc puz-
zle the most learned scientists. This
flower has always exercised a most
powerful Influence over the actions
of man. In an imperfect condition it
breeds sorrow. crime and death, but
when given half a chance it elevates
man from a barbarous re.ot eater to
the most noble being in all creation;
it makes him ccnsiderate of his fellow
man; inspires in him a love for the
beautiful of this world it makes
brighter the sunshine, and gives COM
fort in the darkness, and when the
cold hand of death rests upcn his
brow that flower breathes in his ear
a sweet hope that watts his soul away
from this world on her fragrant bosom
to the great unknown. This genus is
commonly called 'woman.'' At Elks'

Death of q. c. Drake.

The death Sunday morning OF b. C.
Drake takes almost all Of the old land
marks of Gainesville over the silent
river.
Mr.. Drake came to this city about
dirty years ago, and engaged first in the
umber business, accumulating fair
amount OF property. Subsequently lie
owned and edited a Republican news
paper IN this city, which he moved and
run in the city of Jacksonville. This
enlure proved disastrous financially and
he came back TO Gainesville.
A few years ago he had stroke Of par
alysis, from which he never recovered,
aud a third attack caused his death. lie
was an earnest Republican, Union sol
dier, Grand Army man aud United
States pensioner. He held several civil
offices in the county years ago He was
probably rs years Of age.
The remains we're inferred in Evergreen
cemetery on yesterday, and were borne to
the grave by his comrades OF the G A X,
He had lived in Gainesville longer
than any mon who had chosen this city
as his residence after the war.

We wish that all people now mooting
the question Of saloons or anti saloons
could come to the city of Gainesville and
witness the march of progress in our
town. Not quite one year ago an cleo.
ton was held Ia Alachua county for the
purpose Of determining whether or not
whskey or other alcoholic liquors should
be sold, and the verdict against selling
was emphasized by a majority Of over
three hundred Many good and honest
men voted the wet ticket sincerely be-
lieviug that they were voting In the best
interests Of the city, and many also pre-
licted that before another election under
the law could be Il. Id, that grass would
be growing in the principal streets of
Gainesville and that business would be
stagnant all over the county. II was also
predicted that when the time came for
another election that the county would
go wet 10y a vote of two to one-that
blind tigers would have lairs in every
bay-head and our jails be filled with
criminals.
Mark the results: Arrests and convic-
tons OF illicit dealers have put hundreds
of dollars into the county treasury, the
jails are without inmates, murders are a :
most a thing Of the past, while the streets
are free of grass, the bachanaliau song,
