In 1912 he sailed out of this bay and
headed due north in search of Bimini, the
tabled island containing the spring of per-
petual youth. Leon did not stay long IN
Florida and returned to Porto Rico until
the great discoveries of Cortez In Mexico
aroused his spirit of adventure. In 1a21
he fitted out two ships and made another
trip north determined to stop at Bimini.
Landing on the Florida coast. he was at
once attacked by the Indians and so severe
ly wounded he had to be conveyed in haste
to Cuba where he died. His body was
and deposited beneath the altar of the
Dominican Church of San Juan. There it
rested for more than three hundred years,
when in 1863. the leaden caSket that con-
tanned the remains of the conquistador was
disinterred TO be placed in new receptacle.
The intended monument was never built
and after more than forty years above
ground, the remains of the d!scoverer of
Florida and the subjugator of Porto Rico
yet lie unburied. In corner of the mUsty
little chapel attached to the church one
may with some diplomacy, see the lead
case which contains the dust of Ponce de
Leon. The casket is only about three feet
SQUARE bound with leather straps and
sealed in the center with the great munich
pal seal. On the monument against which
it rests the inscription in Spanish reads:
This narrow grave contains the remains

The teamsters are not the main thing

even the Clerk. There are others, "
and still more, too.
What we want and what we need are
men for Mayor and COuncilmen who
have the whole town interest at heart,
especially mem who are not owned, body
and soul, boots and heel,taps, by any
bank or any other corporation.
We are expecting some big develop
ments within the towns next corporate
year. to deal with which will require a
municipal body that cannot be BAN
boozled into giving away IA single popu-
lar right i'll the shape of franchises or
any other shape.
Ours Is a progressive town and we
want 1t to move ahead with pace equal
to the times in which we live.
To do this we must have men who are
not in any ~Hg allied with any corpora
ton, or the agents of any corporation :;
who have no strings tied to them that
any corporation can pull, or whose
doors are open to anybody to come in
without knocking
We want men that will study the in
terests and work for the welfare of the
whole town, and not men who have re-
pudiated payment of their shares of
street-paving cost, nor do we want a
single man i'll the towns service who up
holds such reputation.
In the face of business like this all
talk about favoritism to transfers is too
little for serious people to consider.
Give us men, mem, MEN, MEN.
