DEATH OF EDITOR PRATT.

The state of Florida has lost . valued
citizen, and the press one Of its models
and exemplars in Joseph H. G. Pratt.
He was one of those to the manner
born, to whom the printing office was q
school, and his life proved that II was
not bad one for the scholar or the
citizen, the moralist or the man. The
friends who mourn his loss are all who
knew him, and the loss is that Of his
state, his county and his town. In
business, in politics and in private life
he was lOvable, and there is no higher
praise for any man. Times Union.
