income: and also has cotton on his
farm just North of town. He ex-
poets to build more houses this fall,
and to put more land in cotton.
Then he Intends to divide his time
between Texas and Kansas, looking
after his interests here in the fall
and winter; and there in the spring
and summer.
Thus, he has worked out a COM

their summer home in Wellsford

more and larger windows, but what
we said above still stands.
The members Of the Presby terrain
church feel that the installation Of
the windows is largely due to Mrs.
Horace Hendel Sayre. Mrs. Sayre
has rot been N our midst but a few
years, yet her interest in things
Presbyterian is as lively as though
she had been in the church her whole
life. Her energy is something Won
derful. The members of the Pres

Recedes and fades away;
Lift up your heads, ye heavenly hills,
Ye gates of death, give wayl
His soul is full Of whispered song
His blindness is ali right
The shadows that he feared so long
Are full of life and light.
The while his pulses, fainter, beat,
His faith doth 30 abound,
He feels grow firm beneath his feet
The green immortal ground,
That faith, to Father, a courage give'
AS bright as the sun that shines
l know that his Redeemer lives,
And he shall live, know,
The palace walls he now sees,
Where dwells his Lord and King

The most beamiAg countonanee in
Tallahassee today is that Of Joe Ford,
whose recent aequittal from the charge
of murder, gives such universal satss-
faction to his friends. Being a man
who attends strictly to his Ovp business,
and who respects the white rIUn as Wes
as the better element among his own
color, Joe has brought upon himself the
hatred Of the turbulent class Of negroes
here. But, as was shown during his
late trouble, Joe's course has been the
better one, for, although circumstances
looked very black against him, his
former good reputation, and the assist
ance given him by Influential citizens
towards securing the best legal advice,
have brought him tEiumphantly out OF
all his trouble.
Joe has resumed his duties as janitoE

The first day of the sale at Duval

Of opening to hour &C night, when the

gathering there until Il was ali but just
possible to get and keep standing room.
The store contains all grades Of the best
goods, marked down in plain figures on
each article, and the large force Of po-
hte, attentive and accommodating clerks
were kept as busy az bees IN \ hive,
selling all sorts of goods, while the
package wrappers and cash boys were
on the run all the while.
This was the first day Of the sale,
which 10 on for ten days, and which will
close on Saturday, the 2ist, and from
the experience of the first day, none
will doubt that every day will be a live,
hustling, business day at Duval Bros.
The managers of the Davis Company
surely know how to conduct those big
sales. They know how to advertise them
TO get the crowds, and then they know
how to properly handle the people when
they get them to the store.
This sale, above anything Of the kind
that was ever attempted In Tallahassee,
