Success to him. Zolfo Advertiser
The Florida editor easily ranks win
the average citizen. He gets up carry
and works late. He lends his effort 10
every public enterprise and ceases MS
labor only when his pulse stops beating
Few editors ask for office and none have
office thrust upon them, The rich ones
are few indeed. Ocala Banner
Ocala is the only city in Florida that
we know of which has citizen able to
huy the entire issue of bonds of one OF
the coming prosperous cities OF the
State. This was done 10y DR., Walter
Hood. of this city, who bought all the
bonds foatcd by Fort Pierce, on the
East Coast, giving therefor par value,
--Ocala Banner
A lady Clergyman tells us that in
twenty-five years women have increased
in statute two and one-half inches and
men have decreased in the same degree.
If the sexes are thus getting apart five
inches in twenty-five years, II Is not
difficult to calculate how long it will bc
before man will be utilized by woman
merely as a lap dog or as a bangle for
her bracelet. Courier Journal,
A man who tries to build up his town
is worth a ten-acre field full Of rich,
doubling ThomaSes, even if he is not
able to buy hen and chickens, The
Lord deliver us from the fellow who is
eternaly trying to throw a damper
over any sort Of improvement, Every
town and community has its full share
of just such and it would be better to
coloni2e them into some section entire
ly surrounded by territory of man
eating cannibalS. -Chipley Banner.
None but the initiated know the ac-
curacy required in a printing office. The
average reader who detects mispclcd
word on letter upside down feels that
his work upon earth is not accomplished
until he has called the attention of the
ovcr-worked editor to the garing defect.
He does not notice the thousands and
tens Of thousands of letters that are in
place, or the multitude of words cor.
rectly spelled but his eagle eye is glued
on the one that is out of place. Fra,
tcrnal Record.
Up to the present time the business
outlook for Florida for the year 1906
seems TO be most tlattering and
throughout the entire State there are
few, II any. reports Of business failures.
The close of successful tourist season
will leave the hotel and boarding house
people in a good condition financially.
and it should also be borne in mind that
the winter visitors also spend no small
sum while here. All these little items
help to swell the total, and every dollar
that Is started t. roll about the cities
and towns is bound to be captured by
some one. But don't be discouraged if
they are not all caught and handed d..
rectv to YOU. If the grocer gets the
dollar first he may take it to the dry
goods man, and it soon starts rollins
around the city, and is sure to do ser.
wee at several places. All that is
neededis to start the dollar. Gaines.
