EducationaI Day at State Fair, Fri.
day, November Is.

Il
Tallahassee, Fla, Sept. %, 1906.
To the School officers and Teachers of
President t. ]. L. Brown has kindly
consented to designate Friday, Novem-
Der 20, rs Educational Day at the State
fair TO be held in the city of Tampa,
the metropolis of South Florida.
A building will be dedicated solely to
educational purposes. Absolutely no
exhibit other than educational in char
acter will be allowed in this building,
and for the first time in the history of
the State of Florida the educationa adj
vantages of the State will be given
ample space in which to be properly
displayed to the thousands of visitors to
the fair.
Every school and college, either pub
lie or private, owes to itself and to the
State of Florida the duty of being rep
resented
The premium list is so varied as to
give every county, every town, every
school and every individual student an
opportunity to win a prize. A sum of
more than a thousand dollars has been
appropriated by the fair association
and subscribed by prominent citizens
and educators of the State for these
different prizes. Apply at once to Hon
T. j. l.. Brown, Tampa, Fla, for a
premium list.
Exhibits will be permitted to be
placed in the educational building up to
the date designated as Educational Day,
but application for space should be
made as early as possible. sincerely
hope every school in the State will send
an exhibit to the State fair this year.
A program appropriate to the occasion
is being prepared Several of the most
noted educators of the country will visit
the fair on Educational Day and address
those in attendance. An educational
conference will be held that will be of
greater consequence than any confer
ence of the kind ever held in Florida.
From an educational standpoint for
all the students of the State and many
teachers, trip to the beautiful and
progressive city of Tampa and an at
tendance of a day upon the State fair
would prove very instructive; there
fore l urge the county boards and SUI
perintendents to allow the school chill
dren and teachers to attend the fair on
Educational Day without loss of time
to the teachers.
] would be glad to see every school
board member and county superintend-
ent in attendance upon this occasion
also. Yours very truly,
W. NJ HOLLOWAY,
State Supt. Public Instruction,

A hospital surgeon says that there is
more facial paralysis among bank pay
ing tellers, photographers and elevator
operators than In any other classes.
He accounts for it with the words,
"Old jokes"
"JOkes! How soT
whenever q bank clerk hands out
a fresh, crisp bill, the man on the other
side Of the window says: New money,
eh1 Made 1t yourself, suppose?' 1t
Is up to the teller to force laugh. The
man on the chair says, Amt you
afraid I'll break the cameraT He
would be MORALLY wounded II the oper-
ator did not laugh. One man out OF
every ten will enter an elevator and
say to the boy at the rope, Lots Of
ups and downs in your life, amt

ness tells in the long run. The victims

get into another line of labor."-Cleve-

into, and was being pried the pole
flew out and struck Mr.. S. T. Drake,
son of Mr.. John c. Drake, a young man
20 years old on the head, which knock
ed him unconscious. He afterwards re-
covered somewhat and being assisted,
reached home, where he and his father
reside. He soon became unconscious
again and Hon. w. d. Stoutamire came
to Tallahassee for physician, but he
was buried in the Jackson Bluff Church
burial grounds, the services being con-
Quoted by Rev. Zed Russell. This son

THE IDEAL HOME.
Mans Ideas ConstNntIy Change as He
GPovsa Older.

MANS Ideas ConstNntIy Change as ne
Grows Older.
As the male member OF the human
species advances in years his ideas as
to what constitutes an ideal dwelling
change 30 absolutely that there is be-
'2teen the different places he would
6eiect almost no similarity.
At three years old his ideal is a tent
formed from table cover, a blanket,
a spread, piece OF carpet, or any
other material that can be so arranged
that II will form q little place into
which to crawl
At six the best possible dwelling is a
hut built OF barrel slaves, boards and
planks and unknown to prosecuting
adults, and especially to policemen.
a boy Of ten would select spacious
cave, with marvellous secret entrance,
preferably with the entrance under
water at flood tide, with the floors COW
cred with heavy costly carpets, the
walls decorated with deadly weapons
inlaid with gold, silver and precious
stones, and with enough food slowed
away to enable the inhabitants Of the
place to live for q year If necessary.
At twenty the hearts desire is q
room in a large hotel where the cost
would be at least So a day and where
there would be a dinner at O'Clock,
with lots of pretty and rich women
present, a big smoking room and plenty
of stationery with heavy gold mono
gram or crest stamped on it.
At twenty-five the best possible home
is q neat, comfortable modern fat in
some respectable neighborhood, not too
far from the cars, theaters and shop
ping district, and with asphalted streets
so there will not be too much noise.
At thirty-five the only proper dwell
ing is a town house, preferably stu
ated near houses of men whose wealth
is reckoned in the tens of millions of
dollars and who really have consid-
cradle money, said house to have a
mammoth ballroom, music room and art
gallery, and in addition to this house
another country house within easy dis
lance of the city, and still again, in
addition to these two houses, a mod
est but quantity elegant cottage at
some popular seashore resort.
At fifty a mans tastes have toned
down, and he longs for a little cottage
In the country, where all is quiet,
where birds sing and there are chick
ems in the yard. COW in the stable,
goodly plot of ground that continually
yields an unfailing supply Of fresh veg
etables and where all is modesty,
sweet content and freedom from the
usual annoyances that make life a
burden.
At sixty the cottage has grown
smaller, and the man would be con-
tent with less ground, fewer chickens
and vegetables and could get along
quite nicely without the COW.
At seventy any place will do so long
as a man is not disturbed and has rea-
sonable assurance that he will not be.

You should call at the establishment
of J. D. Cay. opposite Masonic Temple,
when in want of Horses, Buggies, or
Harness.
He carries the best assortment of
Buggies in Middle Florida, which he
sells at reasonable prices, and on favor
able terms to responsible parties
His stock of Harness is new and up to
date, and includes any and all articles
in his line needed for county and city
use.
In Heavy Harness he has no rival.
To turpentine and mill men he offers
goods made especially for their use, and
at prices that cannot be duplicated.
In his Stables are to be seen as fine a
lot of drivers, single and double, as
were ever brought to this city.
Call on him and examine his stock.

gas and electric plants. In the matter
Of telephone service, they have the
advantage as it costs only $3.50 per
year. Their water rates for domestic
service are ten cents in the pound
of rental. AS a pound means So OF
our money, the charge for water on
place renting for only 800 a year
would be 50, where the rate with us
can not be less than $12. The charges
for gas they seem very proud OF, Law
ing stress on the fact that the very
poor" can get enough gas to cook a
meal for two cents. AS there are 30
meals cooked during a month, that
would be $3.50 for gas used for no 9TH
Ell purpose. and this represents in the
aggregate more than the cost for The
same service here. The rates for light
ing by electricity are II cents per XIII
owat hour, making but little less than
the rate paid in Gainesville. With all
its public utilities the thrifty Scotch
man grumbles because he IS not re
lieved from his taxes, for they are
not reduced, but the receipts OF all
these utilities only serve to pay the
bonds, and go back into the systems.
James Dalrymple, the. electrical ex-
pert, who visited this country by in

not be handled in the United States
successfully Ait Wynne, Ark, the
municipal ownership of the electric
plant has proved a failure and given
up, owing to too much graft.

How the Evil One Came to be Popu-
IarIy Known as 1.-THE Old Scratch
One of the many familiar names OF
his satanic majesty is The Ola
Scratch" It is undoubtedly due 10
the fact that scratching is so disagree
able that people thought it no worse
than the evil one. A scalp full OF
dandruff keeps one scratching all the
time; not only disbgreeable but consio-
cred very inelegant in polite society
as Ii should be-because one ought ID
keep the scalp so clean that IL would
not itch. To cure the scalp or dan
druff effectively, use Newbro's Herpl-
eide. 1t kills the germ that creates
the dandruff. which is preliminary 10
falling hair, and, finally, badness. NO
other hair preparation kills the dan
druff germ. Herpicide also is a very
delightful and effective hair dressing.
