no one makes a serious mistake by
using any one of them. 1t is the

Mr.. John +. Lewis, in his efforts to
reach Ocaia Saturday to attend the
meeting of the county democratic
executive committee, experienced
combination of vicissitudes. He had
to leave his home in a shower and
when he reached Sharpe's Ferry the
river was so banked with hyacinths
that it was impossible for the barge
to move particle, SO he was COM
PEELED to go back and cross the river
at Grahamville, and there he found
the water so high over The bridge
that he thought at one time he would
be drowned, and the only way he
saved himself was to jump out of his
buggy into water over waist deep,
and finally succeeded in leading his
horse over the causeway, a distance
of a hundred yards or more.
1t is here necessary to state that
Mr.. Lewis was a very prominent can
didate for the Office of judge of the
county court, and when he reached
Ocala learned that the committee
had adjourned without making an en-
dorsement, and later on i'll the after
noon he received the intelligence
that Mr.. Joseph HI. Bell had received
the appointment of the governor re-
CARELESS of the endorsement of the
committee.
MIR. Lewis was one of Mr.. Brow
ards and Mr. Stockton's strongest
supporters in this county, and was
told that the governor was quite anx-
ioos TO appoint him to the Office if he
received the endorsement, and Mr..
Lewis and his friends and the friends
of Governor Broward are quite as
founded at his action
