The Bedding Savings Bank has always
been one of the institutions Of this city in

the people depositing money, and tran

never yet has there been any cause for
the removal Of that confidence. The fl

cOvERMOR cILCHRIsT AGAIN.

Many Of the newspapers, during the
past fortnight have had something to
say about General Gilchrist and all Of
them, except the Tallahassee Democrat
have spoken highly of him We fear
that the Democrat does not see any
good in anybody or anything. Citrus
Chronicle.
Yes, we do, too! And we have had
nothing, as yet, to say of the General,
seriously. We have taken occasion to
publish his okra receipt, and his funny
card announcing that he would not
again be candidate for the Legisla-
ture, but we fail to see anything about
him, or in him, that would go to prove
that he would make Florida good Gov
ernor. Would Speaker of the House
of Representatives, who took the floor
and spoke against receiving the report
of committee, appointed by himself,
TO investigate corruption such as was
shown to exist in State Asylum affairs,
make Florida a good Governor? Be-
sides, it is believed that hidden, power
full outside influence was brought to
bear upon him to bring about that
grand spectacle. And that same inhu-
ence mesmerized other high officials on
other important occasions during the
legislative session particularly when
investigation was attempt ed. But,
glad we are to state, only nine men,
bers voted with the General on that
proposition, and sorry to say that one Of
the said nine was from this city. Per-
haps you do not know the Generals
little peculiarities as do some other
Floridians who have many of his antics
in their scrap book.

Comment on buchanan Law.

The Supreme Court of the State,
which has had the Buchanan school bill
under consideration for a month past,
his rendered a decision sustaining ev-
cry feature of the law and settling, we
hope for all time, a matter that has
been a source of annoyance and great
expense to the tax payers of Florida. -
Manatee Journal.
The Buchanan law has been declared
by the Supreme Court to be constitu-
tional. The case may be appealed to
the Supreme Court of the Uni e d
States. 1t is sure to be appealed to the
Most Supreme Court of Florida-the
ballot box, and there a verdict will be a
verdict rendered which will forbid the
robbery of the poor for the benefit of
the rich. The political triumph of the
supporters of the Buchanan law will be
short lived. Jasper News.
There is some talk of appealing to
the Supreme Court Of the United States
from the decision of the Florida Su-
preme Court affirming the constitution
atty of the Buchanan law. What's the
use of worrying those august judges in
Washington If our constituted au-
thorities in Florida haven't got sense
enough 70 rightly decide purely Florida
issues it is strange and humiliating
fact. We suspect that the Supreme
Court of the United States is getting
mighty tired of being worked overtime
to settle so many disputes already fair
settled by the State Courts. 1t is
poor tribute to the Southern doctrine of

A CORDIAL RECEPTION.
rfsthOAist People Hiahs Presiding lie
der Welcome.

Wednesday was a pleasant day for
the MethOdists of this city, for, with
their characteristic generosity, they
kept open house at the district parson-
age in honor Of the arrival of the new
presiding elder, Rev. ]. w. Bigham,
who, with his family, arrived here on
that day from Tallahassee, and will for
the next year be a resident of this city,,
though, of course, his work will carry
him over the entire Orlando district.
Knowing that all good Methodists are
good eaters, the ladies Of the church
here had prepared a sumptuous dinner
for the elder and his family, and quite
a number of them were on hand to take
care of them. The affair was a pleas
ant surprise to the good man and his
family, and they entered heartily into
the spirit of the occasion. All the good
things one could desire were there, es-
pecially prepared and ready to be eaten.
Thus the presiding elder and family
were welcomed to Barlow and the work
of the year begun in a way that will
prove that the people of Barlow will do
great work in the Master vineyard the
coming year.
Next Sunday morning and evening
Mr.. Bigham will conduct services at the
Methodist church. 1t is hoped he will
be greeted by a large congregation.
Good music will be rendered by the
choir, and a regular old-time religious
service will be held. Barlow Courier

CULTIYATING THE VOICE.

in their scrap book
CULTIVATING THE VOICE.
To speak agreeably is to possess a
power for pleasure and for good Of
two natures, that which actually con-
tains the less gentleness or refinement
may, by harmonious tones and properly
trained delivery, appear in the finer
light. We suffer for lack of education
in management of our voice, as surely
as if we were deficient in the ordinary
branches taught in schools In Ameri-
can education nothing is neglected so
completely as the voice. 1t is hardly
realized that the impression of per-
sonality is conveyed by tones as surely
as by appearance, by carriage, or by
what one says. OF Anne Page we know
that
Her voice was ever soft,
Gentle and low-an excellent thing in woman"
Among our own acquaintance we
count few women who could thus be
praised, and few men also whose voices
are source Of pleasure. If the voice
is trained early, beautiful speaking be-
comes natural. and an instrument of
charm is substituted for one of discord.
1t is not difficult All that is required
is a standard of tones and enunciation.
These things could then be taught as
easily as spelling or arithmetic. Col

A BIG LIFT.

The very positive statement
from Manager T.. III. Hum of the
Penn Wyoming Copper company,
that the Union Pacific would this
summer extend a branch line
from Fort Steel to Encampment.
is a most welcome one to this coun-
utry in particular and the state as
well.
Such n line would advance
development to n remarkable ext
ent and in II few months make
this country the greatest copper
camp in the west. 1t has long
been hoped for and those who are
directly Interested in mining
properties will receive the news
with extreme delight.
Not only does it meal more
rapid development of the mineral
section, but the agricultural inter-
ests of the southern part of the
county will prosper as we'll.
Working mines means a big de-
mand for ranch products and a
demand for these products will
bring about irrigation projects
that would otherwise lay unnoticed

SHOULD BE FRIENDS.

Say, is it not an uncalled for
condition and very bad policy
for the town, for merchants in it
to be anything but close and in
innate friends: Not one of them
can have all the business. Each
has his friends, each his own pc
culiar way of doing business: his
ways may not suit any but his
friends: each is in his business to
make money if he can, and at
least a living. He has an inalien-
able right to his share in the fight
for commercial prestage: he has
his rights as a citizen. We are
all here to do the best we can and
all have II own peculiar ideas as
to what ''best" means and how to
secure it: Reviling a competitor
is indicative of a lack of higher
motives of the broader spirit of
the day. and it is a carte blanche
license for him to give it to you
in the neck: and feeling begotten
of a mixup is nasty. Don't
bread it. There is nothing to it.
Business men should present a
solid front on questions that may
affect their interests, and the in
terests of the town.

shelves of our merchants. If the
law in its present shape is an ex-
pensive luxury. let it he carried
out as it stands on the statute
book until remedied by the next

maybe obnoxious features about
