Eugene Matthews, editor of the

Speaker of the next House, in the last
Issue Of his paper says:
We had delightfully."- quiet and
pleasant Christmas in Starke and so
far as we have been able to learn
there was not a disturbance anywhere
In Bradford county 1t is a great
deal more satisfactory to the Tele-
graph to print this modest paragraph
than to have to cali into use flaming
headlines followed by the story of
bloodshed, heart-broken wives and
fatherless children and the other sick
ening details Of the crimes that go
band in hand with the drunken orgie.

things, and may He keep us steadfast

of taxes collected shows the amount
assessed and collected for each fund
but nothing is known of what is done
with it after 1t is collected. Fortu-
nately the county commissioners of
Florida are honest men, otherwise the
graft that would grow out of such a

Some of the county boards pay for
the publication of their proceedings,
