Milton, Mar. 21-The many friends
of Mrs. Sallie Jenkins will regret to
learn that she expired here Sunday
az $50 o'clock p. m, at the home
of her niece Mrs. w. R. Williams.
Mrs. Jenkins, although she had
passeG the SIND mile post, enjoyed
fairly good health, and was quite ac-
tive and Industrious. Saturday morn.
ing while performing her accustomed
duties she was stricken with apo
plexy and never spoke. or Tegained
consciousness afterwards. Her re-
mains were inferred in the Coon
Hill cemetery Monday afternoon. The
funeral services were conducted by
Rev. w T. Ellison. A good woman
is gone! She was everybOdy's friend
and everybody was her friend She
was a sister of Rev. Robert Smile
and was well known in Escambia
county where she resided for several
years.
The young vegetables which were
up yesterday, are down to-day as a
result of the freeze.

joyed by the crowds who saw it here.

Mrs S. w. Balentine entertained
the Married Ladies Social Club Fri
day at her country home, five miles
from the cityJ3in a most unique and
enjoyable manner. Fourteen mem.
bers went out, and were allowed the
privilege and pleasure of fishing in
Lake Whitley which is stocked
with the finny tribe for private use.
Strange to say, they were quite ssuc-
cessful and the theory that silence
must reign in order to catch fish is
busted" The wonder is. that fish,
nsOccasins, frogs, "cOoters" and every
living thing were not frightened to
death. A sumptuous dinner includ.
ing the fried fish, was served picnic
style on the lake shore. One "poore"
man joined the merry party at the
dinner hour. 1t is supposed that he
survived the ordeal as no serious re.
suits were reported

Dramatic Deaths.

What is a dramatic death? OF course
the most dramatic death ever recorded
was that of Placut, who droppea dead
while paying a bill. Then there was
the death Of FabIus, who was choked
by hair in some milk; that Of Louis
VI, who met his doom because a pig
ran under his horse and caused him
to stumble; that Of Saufeius, who was
poisoned by the albumen in a soft boil
ed egg, and that of Zeuxis, who died
from laughter at sight OF bag he had

it was under the impression that
Colonel Sparkman was not doing MI
in his power to assist In getting an
appropriation for that purpose, the
Tribune was instrumental In getting
another gentleman to oppose him N

The result of the Tribune's opposl

is pleased.

be the part of a traitor for any Tam

When the people Of South Florida

of flies to yellow fever. Mobile need
not fear an appearance of yellow fever.
Later in the season when fever was
discovered in New Orleans. this fly
theory was presented. to the consider
alton of DR.. Goldthwaite, who jocular-
L. remarked that if there was any
thing of value in the theory. Mobile
would escape the fever. No fever aD-
peared that year in Mobile. Whether
there is anything Of value or not in
the theory is something to be found
out. The mosquito theory is not so
hOary with age that it can laugh at
ali others, and there are competent
members of the medical profession
who believe that the mosquito is not
the only medium through which the
disease is prOpagated. The fly theory
is told here as it is believed in New
Orleans, and given to the scientist
for what il is worth; for their con-
sideratiOn or for their f1ippant dis
missal as unworthy of discussion.
Watch the flies.

Editor Harris. Of The Ocala Ban
ner. has the following to say relative
t. the challenge TO a joint debate re-
Gently made by r. Hudson Burr:
What the editor Of this paper said
in reply to Mr.. Burr's challenge 10
meet him in Joint debate is empha-
sized by Governor BrOward's speech
in Jacksonville. Both Of the daily
papers there reported what the gov.
ernor is SAID 10 have said and the
reporters of both the papers agreed
FL their reports Of his speech. The
governor now denies the published
report OF these newspapers and seeks
cold type for a vindicatiOn Of his ut
terances. This is what he should
have done Al first. When a man puts
his thoughts in print there can be
no misunderstanding and no de-
malls. Mr.. Burr can make any state
ment he chooses on the stump and
when he Is confronted with the same
in print. can easily claim that he was
misuuOted The newspaper is the
field for the settlement. and rightfuI
settlement, of all controverted sub
iects.
The proposition Of Edftor Harris is
undoubtedly fair to both parties ald
!. has the added advantage Of allow
ing each party to the controversy an
opportunity to study the remarks Of
his opponent before replying, thus
obviating the possibility of going on
half cooked as IL were. The columns
Of The Banner have been opened TO
Mr.. Burr and it would seem to be UP
to that gentleman TO start the ban
rolling.

Relation Between Flies
and Yellow Fever.

The Mobile Item discourses at con
siderable length upon the relation be-
tween flies ana yellow fever, and
cites several instances tending to
prove that when flies are plentiful
an epidemic of fever is out of the
question. The fly theory is a new
one and, while II wiz undoubtedly in
spire ridicule in some quarters, The
item gives it for what il is worth as
follows:
Is there any relation between flies
in New Orleans who are firm in their
conviction on this point. They be-
leve that when flies are plentiful
there is no danger Of a yellow fever
epidemic. When flies are scarce. then

Features Worthy Of Consideration.

Aside from the fact that the Herald
Square moving pictures embody the
very latest and best subjects to be had
In the moving picture world, there are
other things interesting to the theatre
goer. They are guaranteed to be per-
fectly steady and distinct, without the
usual flicker which is so trying to the
eye. The machine is made absolutely
fire-proOf, thereby eliminating this
source of annoyance. There are no In
termissions during which restless indi-
viduals, under various pretexts, climb
over those who prefer to retain their
seats, coming back with rush when
the next picture is started. The enter
tainment, when once beg In, continues
smoothly to the end Those who enjoy
a spicy yet In every way clean enter
tainment, will do well to secure seats
early when the Herald Square Moving
Pictures are offered.
