v. M. FOUNTAIN.

In the illustrations found elsewhere
is an interior of the establishment of
Mr. V. NJ. Fountain, dealer in cloth
ing. shoes and haberdashery.
Mr. Fountain has been in business
for himself in DeLand about two
years, but his thorough knowledge of
the trade. his long acquaintance in
the markets of the North and East,
where for many years he was buyer
for other firms, has enabled him to
build up a splendid business in
short time His stock embraces the
latest as to styles and the best as
to fabrics. Mr.. Fountain has recently
moved into new and more commodi-
Gus quarters, which his increasing
business made imperative.

only by strangers and newcomers,
but our own people as well, where
the money comes from that makes the

a rule plentiful and business brisk.

If must be remembered that ours
in not farming country, and the
section surrounding DeLand is rather
thinly populated, For many years
OH people were devOt1ng their entire
energies to the development of the
orange industry, and of course, as
the trees were young and not bearing
there was no revenue from this source.
Still, there was always good business
here. When the groves finally reached
a bearing age of course there was
more money and better business -,
However, the disastrous freeze OF
several years ago wiped out Tor the
time being the orange 1ndustry-Dut
not our business interests by any
means. Notwithstanding the heavy
blow. when millions were swept away
in night. our business people put
determination to achieve success from
disaster. That they succeeded IS
shown by the many well filled stores
of DeLand today, and the crowds OF
purchasers that constantly throng our
streets.
DeLand draws business from many
miles around, not only from the rural
sections but also from many OF the
smaller towns. This is because our
stores are metropolitan in their scope,
and the stocks carried would do credit
TO a town of ten times the size OF
DeLand.

The refrigerating and electric plant
is operated by an automatic gasoline

failing an expenditure of many thou

determined that his customers should

A fine line of northern and native

Elsewhere we reproduce from

of Mr. A H. Woodall, and our home
people and the newcomer can find
at "Woodall's" about anything they
can find in any hrst-class grocery.
Mr. Woodall is an experienced gro
ceryman, and his long experience in
the grocery business in this section
has enabled him to build up large
and profitable business in short time.
Mr.. Woodall carries a complete
stock of domestic and imported goods,
and the newcomer to DeLand can
be assured of fair and honest treat
ment at his hands, and prompt and
efficient service, and that all goods
sold over his counters will be exactly
as represented.

Mr. Scott Hodgkins' extensive wa

only thoroughly first class work, and
as a consequence his business has
grown in a few years from a very
small beginning to one of large pro-

syrup factory, where farmers bring
their sugar cane to be made into sy-

1t is a fair question to ask whether
it would not be more in accordance
with the principles of Justice and the
achievement of a far greater good
if our Industrial and business system
were directed in such a spirit of fair

the wage-earning classes would receive
a large share of the rewards of their

shall try to inspire our children with
the love of birds and animals and con-

Society. which gives us many valuable
hints.
We shall try to tell Mrs. Alden
about our Sunshine children in differ

are known by name and in this city
their greetings are a constant delight.

Art of Living With People.

Then we never can learn the lesson
of love but by living with people. We
may learn the theory of loving and be
able to preach about it, and write
delightful essays on the subject, but
that is different altogether from get
ting the lesson into our own lives.
Nothing will teach us unselfshness
but the practice of unselfishness under
the pressure of necessity. We cannot
learn patience with others save in eX-
periences which put our patience to
the test. The same is true of all the
virtues and graces-they can be ac-
are the best means of grace to us.
Just as the plOwman takes furrOw
by furrOw. one ended before another is
begun, so our duties come to us not in
battallions, but singly. Our Iife's plan,
if w read it Alright, is beneficently
designed. We are not abandoned to
blind chance Confusion and entangle-
ment can come only by our choosing
to refuse guidance and to shape our
lot for ourselves So it will seem to
us when we have come to the end of
it and can look Iback-a divinely order
ed whole, which even our failures can
not mar; for God asks of us only our
best: and if we give Him these, we
need not grieve 6vermuch if some of
the burrows refuse to run straight.

CRUSADE AMONG THE DIARIES
Health Commissioner Conducts Cam

Health Comm'ssi aer Cornell 10 on a
campaign of cleanliness among the large

much the quality OF the milk that is now
occupying the commissioner, but the con-

day morning he wrote to the Waterloo MIX
and Creamery company, stating that that
company's product must show a vast i'm
provement, and that quickly, or he would
take steps to close the Omaha plant.
Part of DR.. Connells letter reads: You

you handle your milk. You must immedi-

APPEAL FOR CITY WORK HOUSE
Judge Crawford Writes to County
Board Asking IL to Take
Initiative.

Police Judge Bryce Crawford has written
q letter to the county commissioners asking
them to take the initiative In establishing
a work house for the correction Of county
and city prisoners. He calls attention to
the insufficient accommodations at the
county and city jails and declares that no
pretense of corrective or reformatory work
can be done in them. They are sufficient,
he said, for prisoners awaiting trial, but
ought not TO be used for persons under
going punishment for crime Continuing,
he says
Set aside ten or fifteen acres Of the poor
