A Deferred Calk

In q certain town in Ne county or
Wexford there Is a house the door OF
which must be xalsed a little to be
opened. and for this purpose the
hatchet Is generally used. One night
lately knock came to the door, and a
youngster was sent to see who was
there.
"Who is there?' he inquired.
"Me." said a voice outside.
The youngster, knowing the voice.
shouted back lin such n tone that the
person outside could hear HIM:
Tts Mrs. Murphy. Get the hatchet!
Needless to say Mrs. Murphy didn't
wait.-Pearson' Weekly.

"HaiI Co1u n, bias" First Rendition.

HHan (Otu m Dla
Hall Columbia" was written in l19s
by Joseph Hopkinson when congress.
In session at Philadelphia, was debat-
ing what attitude TO assume In the
struggle between France and England.
Party feeling ran high, and the air
was surcharged with patriotic enthusi-
asm. A young actor In the city who
was about to have a benefit came to
Hopkinson in despair and said that
twenty boxes remained unsOld, and 1t
looked as If the proposed benefit would
prove a failure. If Hopkinson would
write him a patriotic song adapted TO
the tune of "The Presidents March,,
then popular, 1t would save the day.
The following afternoon the song was
ready. 1t was duly advertised, the
house was packed, and in wild enthusi-
asln the song was encored and re-en-
cored.

Chew What You Know About and

chewers and pounds OF tobacco
chewed, to the population, IN those
States where SCHNAPPS tobacco
was first sold than there are IN the
States where SCHNAPPS has not

to bring out it's natural, stimulating
Qualities. SCHNAPPS pleases all
classes OF chewers: the rich, be-
cause they do not finda chew that
really pleases them better at any
price; the poor, because it is more
economical than the large 1Oc. or
15c. plugs and they get their mon
ev's worth of the real snappy stm-
ulating flavor so appreciated by to-
bacco lovers. All limitations con-
tain much more sweetening than

way to hide poor tobacco improp-

Sex md Rebirth.

The theories concerning the posi-

listed we do so either as men or women
according to whether we were women
or men afOretimc. This largely ac-
counts for the suffragctte and for the

Only choice selections Of this

The Bio state Fair.

Wednesday next is the opening
day of the great Florida state fair
at Tampa, and the day will be the
most brilliant and memorial one in the
history of the Paradise of Flowers.
The hospitable citizens Of the Gate
way of the Gulf have already made
preparations for the care and enter
tainment of thousands Of Floridians
and visitors from other states, the
latter of which will come to Tampa by
train loads and visit all sections of
the state in search of permanent
homes. Never before has such an
advertising campaign been conducted
in behalf of Florida as that which
has just been brought to a close by
the fair association and railroads,
and letters received indicate that
the attendance of homeseekers will
be immense. The rates given by the
railroads from all sections are the
lowest on record.
The opening day will be known as
"Press Day." in honor of the editors
of Florida, and a feature Of the day
will be the annual banquet at the
Tampa Bay hotel in their honor.
This banquet will also be attended by
state officials, members of the legis-
lature and other prominent visitors.
Governor Broward, promptly at the
noon hour, will open the fair gates,
and addresses will be made by other
prominent STATESMEN. The parade
and opening day will be unrivalled in
their brililancy. Every department
will be in absolute readiness at the
opening hour, and the fair will appear
to as good advantage as on the clos
ing day. New buildings and other i'm
provements, upon which thousands of
dollars have been expended will be
apparent TO those who attended the
fair last year.
The Florida state fair, owing to the
success achieved last year, has be-
come famous as the greatest state
fair held by single state anywhere
in the country. a fact in which ev-
cry public spirited Floridian should
take pride. Every man, woman and
child in the state should attend. They
are assured the best of accommoda-
lions at low rates.

To the Editor Ocala Banner:
Below will be found the semi-annual
apportionment of the one mill tax by
w. NJ. Holloway, state superintendent
of public instruction. $S2,602.14 is
amount apportioned, which is the
largest semi-annual apportionment Of
the one mill tax in the history of
public schools in this state.
This amount of money is appor-
toned on the basis of the average at
tendance of the state which isSS, 1872,
the same being the largest average
attendance for any year by several
thousand. The average attendance
for the last scholastic year shows an
increase over the preceding year of
nearly six (6) per cent. This is
indeed fine showing, and speaks well
for the educational system of Flor

the drainage amendment The Gov
ernor made statement that if a per-
son owned a homestead in the mid
die of the Everglades and it was not
swamp and Overfiowed land he would
not have TO pay one penny of taxa
ton for drainage and that the talk
of the unlimited power given the
drainage commissioners is a mere
bug-a-boo TO brighten the timid vot-
ers. That the internal improvement
board had made reports to every leg
islature for the last sixty years and
will continue to do so if the drainage
amendment is adopted. That the
drainage commissioners will not have
as much power under this amend
ment as the comptroller or any state
attorney is now invested with. That
he Is confident that if the amendment
were thoroughly understood by the
people it would be adopted by an
almost unanimous vote.
