THE FLOWERS IN THE STREET.

The vender, with his grimy hands and
face,
Called to the passerby his blossom
wares,
Yet scarce one would slacken in his
pace;
All hurried by with cold, unseeing
Until there came a man with weary
eyes
Who paused and turned and saw each
nodding bloom
And then he saw rose that once would
rise
And tap against the window of his
room
The crowded street an instant seemed to
fade
And blend into a quiet country lane,
With grass that mottIed with each sway
ing shade
And flashed its thousand jewels after
rain;
Again he felt the evening breezes
rush
Up from the meadows bringing scented
freight
That spiced the air at twilights sooth-
The odor of the roses by the gate.
And people, restless, Fastening, went
by,

stood
They did not know he saw again the
sky
That bent to dream above the distant
wood.
They could not know that for him there
was no street,
No houses and no needless racing
thrOng,
That in his ears rang only murmurs
sweet
The cadence of some old rose scented
song.
The magic of the roses. For, to
him,
Reality was for the moment spread
Before him in what was a vision dim
And then he saw the crowded street,
instead.
He laughed saddened laugh, and then
he took
The roses from the vender's grimy
hand
And thanked him, with a strange, de-
lighted look
a look the vcnder could not understand.

Crescent City News

Leonard Reeves arrived home last
week for brief visit with his par
ents, Rev. DR.. and Mrs. d. M.
Reeves, at the Presbyterian manse.
With four sons here on q visit, all
able-bodied young men, it is thought
that the good doctor will manage to
get a very creditable vacation this
year without leaving town. If he
doesn't, it surely will not be the
fault of the young men.
The sympathy of all our people is
with DR.. and Mrs. f. w. Warren in
the loss of an infant child born to
them at their Seabreeze cottage last
Monday morning. The child lived
but short time and was buried in
Eden cemetery on Tuesday, Mrs.
Warren's sister bringing the little
body over for burial. DR.. Warren
is with his wife at Seabreeze.

OUR RAILROAD
PROSPECTS.

Travelling Freight Agent Mead of
the Atlantic Coast Line spent several
days in Crescent City last week. He
came here to make personal inves-
tigation of the probable business
that would come to his railroad in
the event that it ran spur to the
town During the three days Mr..
Mead was here he saw the leading
business men and orange growers,
and assurances of business that quite
surprised him. He saw that his
company was getting the little end
of the incoming and outgoing freight
business of the town and its popu-
lous environs, and that the only way
to get the big end was to come after
it.
Mr.. Mead was sent here by his
company to see what the people
wanted. He found they wanted the
railroad and that should the road de-
eide to put spur into the town it
would secure bigger business than
his company had supposed possible.
He will so report to the company.
The Atlantic Coast Line is laying
new 7O-lb steel rails over its road bed.
The new rail is now as far south as
Palatka. 1t is just possible that the
company may take up at this time
the project of building its line into
Crescent City. 1t is certain our peo-
Pile gave the company's agent every
encouragement.

For q Better School.

On Saturday, August 9th, the vot'
ers in Election Precinct No. will
be called upon to decide whether OF
not this precinct shall be made q
special tax school district.
If a majority of the qualified cleo
tors vote yes, then it will be posi-,
BILE, in another year, to have first
class high and graded school in
Crescent City for whites and longer
term and better school for the color
ed people.
The precinct would receive the
same amount of money as it now
does from the state and county, and
in addition, there would be levied
and collected two mills on the as
sessed real and personal property in
the precinct, for school purposes.
1t is estimated that this two mill
special levy for school purposes
would yield about $4,000 annually,
of which amount 800 would be paid
by the A. G. i, Railroad. The cost
to individuals would be 20 cents on
each 500 of assessed valuation.
Thus, q man whose home is assessed
at $500 would pay go cents for his
home school.
This school levy cannot be made
effective the coming school year, and
in case the vote is favorable the
special tax will not be due until the
spring of 1907. BY that time it is eX-
pected that every arrangement will
have been completed looking to a
high class school in this place.
Through the generosity of Mr. Coe
D. Smith and Hon. Edwin Gilbert,
our town has what is possibly the
best public school building in the
entire state.
BY carrying this election for a
special tax school district, the peo-
pie will have completed the work
these good men began.
Then Crescent City will assume
Importance as an educational center.
We will have done our full part to-
ward securing for this pretty place a
complete public school. An insti-
tuition where our boys and girls
can secure all that they will need to
fit them for entrance upon the higher
institutions of learning. All that
they will need to fit them for the or
binary business affairs of life.
The prospect is worthy the effort
of every father and mother in this
section.
The News is pleased to state that
the voters generally appear to favor
the plan, and it is more than likely
that the special tax district will
have large majority Of the vote.

What Poorly Kept Roads Mean to
Farmers.
Think Of waiting fer the mud to dry
up 100000 horses and mules idle
in the stable 100000 day for
horse feed; $2S,OO0.OOO week! Think
of the loss of time and labor, the dwarf
ed and shrunken values Of our farms,
OF the slack supply and good prices
when the roads are impossible! Think
Of the procession Of farmers that rush
to town and glut the market in the first
days of dry weather and think Of the
paltry prices they get when everybody
is trying to sell an overstocked mer-
chant! From the standpoint Of profit,
in dry weather and wet the badly kept
dirt road is much the same. There Is
