reproduction of it until Hon. T. A. Jen-
nings is heard from on the subject.
Why should the present administration
have a candidate for Governor Had
not each Of the present holders Of posi-
tons better be looking out for his own
election. The Governors Private Sec

snarl up his or her lip when some re-

DO not worry about it, my brother,
for every community, unfortunately,
have at least few Of just such charac-

takes a variety Of curious things to
make up this good old world of ours.
The reports of Messrs. Holloway,
Groom, McLin and various other Off
Gals are neatly printed on a very good
grade of paper No one can now con-
scicntQusly complain Of the work Of the
State printer. -Palatka Times-Herald.
And no one, that we know Of, is kick
ing. The present printer is doing neat
and prompt work, and is justly being
complimented for it. He IS different
from his predecessor, !. b. Hison, VINO

an appropriation to build a lock and dam |

this lock and dam will not only prevent
the ultimate devastation of the rich
