Dear Reader: President Frost,

Next Week.
In the next number of the Citizen
we are going TO publish letter from
Mr.. and Mrs. Derthick who went into
Breathitt county last June rather ex-
pecting to be caught in feud or
eaten by cannibals, while they did
Sunday School work. Thus far they
are still alive and whole. Then we
also want 10 tell you what the State
Board Of Health says about how to
prevent the spread of Consumption,
and that ought TO interest you, for
Consumption is more dangerous than
even Breathitt feud.
The next thing want 10 write you
about is
A Great Premium for Renewals.
Some Of our subscribers have said,
Here | have been taking the Citizen

ten no premiums at all, and you are
giving that splendid pocket knife to
new subscribers, and want me to re-
new my subscription without getting
any premium" You feel like the
Oldest son in the parable about the
prodigal son,-the prodigal gets the
fatted calf or the new knife, and
you, who have been good all the
time and taken the Citizen as you
ought 10 have done, never received
kid, or premium Of any sort. We
have been thinking about this and
are going 10 try 10 make il right,
although we think that virtue and
the Citizen are their own rewards
and premiums.
Every one who pays up all he
owes 10 the Citizen and for at least
six months in advance, during the
month of September, may receive at
the Citizen Office or mailed TO him
free at his home address a copy of

so that the publishers printed 100000
copies more. III tell you what il is.
II is book Of about 400 pages well
bound in cloth covers, and contains,
first, the New Testament in good,
plain type, then 1875 of the best and
dearest gospel songs that we know.

about this. Leon county was perhaps
the only county in the State where tie
drainage scheme WAS made a direct
issue. Months before the primary II

dates for the Senate, Messrs. w. A.
Rawls and John W. Hender. on, made
this the special feature Of their canvass
Of the county; Governor 81 owaTd, being
interested In the matter, visited the
country precincts, took part in the dis
cussiOns and gave the weight Of his
influence TO the drainage candidates.
Mr. Rawls, the administration candi-
date, a member Of the last Legislature
and personally popular, carried but one
precinct in the county, in which the
total vote was eleven. He received
less than one-fourth Of the vote Of the
county. There were six candidates for
the House, the only one chosen being
strongly anti-drainage; and the only
candidate openly advocating the drain
age proposition received only seventeen
votes. Speaking Of political cyclones
and tOrnadoes, no such disastrous result
has ever before been recorded in the
history Of politics in Florida. -Ocsla

NILLET'S MASTERPIECE
DESTROYED AT FRISCO
MAN With the Hoe" Which Inspired
Edwin MaIkham's Poem "Burn-
ed in Fire"

Among the famous works of art be-
lieved to have been destroyed in the
flames at San Francisco was Millet's
picture, The Man with the Hoe" rem
dered doubly celebrated by Edwin
Markham's poem. which was Inspired
by it. This picture. with several other
masterpieces was in the residence Of
William II. Crocker, who acquired IL
sixteen years ago.
Mr. Markham. who considered II N
be one OF the most impressive of all
modern paintings, first saw a copy Of
the picture eleven years before he
wrote his poem in 1897, and the pathos
and pain of It so impressed him that
he WAS finally impelled to depict his
Impressions in his now weIl-kncwn
verses. In speaking of this on one oc-
Casion. the poet said:
The thought of that bent figure was
in my heart-that stunned and stolid
peasant, the type Of Industrial depres-
sion in all lands and in all labors
often stood before the picture absorb
ing the majesty of it's despair, the tre-
mendOuS import Of its admonition Ny
poem. The Man with the Hoe is my
SOULS protest against the degradation
of labor, the oppression of man by
man"
The picture was painted by Miilet in
1861. and sold by him for a trifiing
sum- Its value now is estimated by
some experts as high as $3.50. 900. 1t
had changed hands several times when
Mr. Crocker bought ii in Paris at a
