An interesting Land Case.

last year entered suit against Chas.
H Gill for possession of the latter's
homestead in sec';On II, on Palmetto
Key. Gill entered the homestead in
1894. lived on it twelve years, made
valuable improvements, and received
"a United States patent for it. Suisse
quently Graham & Hampton put a
school warrant on the land, which
formed the basis of their claim. They
brought suit in the circuit court of
Lee county. but the jury rendered a
verdict for Gill. This verdict was set
aside and the plaintiffs given a new
trial, which was had in Fort Myers
at the last term of court, judgment
was rendered for the plaintiffs, where
upon the defendant (GilD appealed
to the United States Court. The ground
of his appeal is that the state court
refused to permit him TO place his
patent in evidence or to adduce tes-
timony as to his residence on the
property. 1t is a very interesting
case. The above statement of it is
Sindly furnished by one of the de-

They must have brains to teach. They
must pass severe examinations and
their duties are eXacting and nerve

they must examine lessons and ex-
animation papers and must prepare
themselves almost the same as the

THEY SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED

The City Improvement Society Of
Ocala, composed of prominent society
ladies of that city, is an organization
distinctly not Of the pink tea
variety. AS it's name implies, it is
devoted to the work of city improve
ment and it would seem 1T this dis
lance that it might be a valuable
auxiliary to the Ocala city council in
helping to clean Up and beautify the
town and otherwise improve material
conditions. But the two bodies are
apparently not in perfect harmony
if we may judge by the reports Of
the papers there. This is unfortunate
for we have been expecting much
from this Ocala improvement society
as an. example to ladies generally
throughout the state of what could
be accomplished for their towns by
organization. The Ocala Banner
wishes that the ladies were in
charge of the Ocala city government,
at least during the tourist season,
and we suspect the Banner is right, for
a nice woman abhors dirt, and if her
Jurisdiction should be sufficiently ex-
tended and she be given adequate
means, she would never rest until her
town was like her own home-nice
and clean and ready to face the criti-
cal inspection of the visitor. We need
that kind Of work in every town in
Florida and if the men won't give it
to us, we should at least not dis
courage the ladies in their efforts
to do so. The Ocala city council
should make friends with the city
improvement society without delay
and welcome it's corporation. An en-
ergetic woman never finds out of
which she gets more of the joy of liv-
ing than when she is making things
nice around her and giving that deft
touch of beauty to her environment
which only she can give. Such gifts
and facilities might we'll find a larger
field in the improvement of all our
towns.-Live Oak Democrat.

Famous Decision in Gaming Case.

reer He was admitted to the bar
when he was thirteen years of age
and has served as chief justice of the
supreme court of his state. 1t was
while in this court that he wrote
the headnOte to a decision on a gamb-
ling case that has since become ia
nous in the legal lore Of the south.
One Pacetti had been convicted of
running a gambling house and the
case was appealed from the city
of Atlanta, in sustaining the lower
court, Justice Bleckeley wrote his ia
nous headnote, which follows:
"A social gentleman, fond of COM
pany and glass, by occupation a CT
gar maker, who keeps his sleeping
apartment with the doors 'blanketed'
in a fit condition for private gamb-
ling therein and who invites his
friends night to refresh themselves
with beer, but who has in the room,
besides barrels and hnttInc toh'o
suitable for gambling, together with
eleven packs of cards, and two boxes
of chips one containing so chips
and the other 800, and a
memorandum book with names and
numbers entered in it, and whose
guests, or some of them, retired hur-
redly under the bed on being surpris-
ed by visit from the police at one
o'clock in the morning, may or may
not be guilty of the offense of keep
ing a gambling house. A verdict of
guilty, based on these and other in
culpatory facts, such as the rattle of
chips and money, and some express
sions about seven dollars and twelve
dollars, heard by the police on ap-
preaching the premises, is warranted
by the evidence and is not contrary
