We note with sorrow the death Of
our old and highly esteemed friend
John Walter Cook. of the Nation
neighborhood. We mention with pride
the last conversation with him. We
mentioned the fact that according to
nature he could not hope to stay here
much longer as he was getting old.
His answer was mo, but the thing to
do is 10 be ready when the end comes. ="

Mr.. J. f. Chittenden the former ed
itor of this paper paid this Office a call
Wednesday and viewed with a great
deal of satisfaction and contentment
the amount Of detail work and worry
transpiring hourly in this office, and
composing room. The opportunities Of
printers, and that labyrinth of lab
yrinths, the subscription list had no
terrors for him. He sat on the desk
and leaned against the subscription list
with impunity. In the face Of the
howlings Of an angry subscriber he
merely smiled and put on bold, brave
front. He was as merry as a rabbit
that spit in bull dogs eye, related by
congressman Stanley, and commented
on by Golfers this week. Heinforms
US he is out of the newspaper business
and content. He is in the insurance

An Ideal Irrigating plant.

It was DIR pleasure this week to
examine the new engine and pump
just installed at w. o. Rails tan
gerine grove in the west side of

The engine is a III horsepower

line engine, which is thing Of
beauty and a JOY forever But it
is III the capabilities Of this ma
chine that its real beauty lies II
runs as steadily and smoothly as
the most perfect steam engine has
a positive governor and speed con
trole which will give any desired
speed by the simple adjustment of
a convenient thumb-screw The
engine is equipped with automatic
sparker, which saves electric bait
teries, and may be started in ten
seconds time
Connected to this engine by a
belt is a rotary pump which draws
its water from an artesian well and
pumps it either throughout the
grove orinto a convenient tank
J, P. Campbell, representing the
Southern Machinery and Supply
Co, Of Jacksonville installed this
engine and pump this week, He
has also sold irrigating machinery
to several other prominent grove
owners near Arcadia
We are glad to see this for an

Some charming pieces are shown as the
work of Miss JAue Carson 81 Cleveland
and others, including brooches, watch
fobs, lamps, jewel boxes, tongs etc.
The writer Miss Della Austrian, is very
optimistic concerning the outlook for
women in this craft. There are other
women" she says, Gin the East and
West who are doing artistic work in
metals and in the fashioning of Jewelry.
They are one in the opinion that this
work gives delight and worthy remun-
GRAFTON to such as possess talent and
perseverance,. They say that there
was time when strong prejudice
was felt against women craft-worh ers,
and that Americans preferred to buy
their jewelry in Paris instead of pat
ronizing the artists OF their own coun-
try, but that this is no longer the case.
American women want artistic and
able work, and because these workers
possess the talent and perseverance,
needed they have won recognition
and are enjoying the fruits OF their
efforts"
