JsR Davis AnAOuAcss.

He makes the following announce
ment in Tuesdays es-Union:
Editor Times Union please announce
that am a candidate for state house
janitor before the people of our dearly
beloved state. / want this office, not
so much on account of my competency,
but because my family connections are
in bad financial condition.
If elected, and want the job, will
appoint my son chief janitor at good
salary; then nv son has sister who
will be clerk in the Office at a good
salary. Not having much to do they
will apply, naturally, for every vacant
clerkship at the capitol until both are
drawing double salaries from the state,
Then my son has an aunt-in-law, or
some female relative of the family, who
can write for the newspapers, and can
get her a fine job that will easily place
her in the front ranks of Florida's ia
vorite feminine fslicitious fairies She
will also want two jobs besids writing
for the newspapers. OF course, as jani-
tor would have charge of the grounds
surrounding the capitol, and see to their
glory and loneliness. would have an
Adams apple adorn the center, without
a Beard, because don't know whether
the apple had a beard or not, and the
chances are against it. Next would
have a beautiful tree with it's lovely
foliage and it's Burr-s, and I'd know it
was Dunn: before close attention had
ceased.
OF course, I'd have to have Broome
to sweep clean, and Buchanan to use
it properly and cOncisely. ! wouldn't
~ hrsn NH 70 hn
employees, but would take up Grill
one, which might not wake up the citi-
zens of Tallahassee, but it would let
them know all were there on time. I'd
plant a Palmer tree for its beauty,
even f l had to Gilchrist to get it and
ship ia Jennings. These are beautiful
trees, and woUld adorn the grounds ever
30 much.
l would not let the public Trammell
on the beautiful grounds, nor Crane
their necks viewing the scenery. I'D
make Groom for Bar-cus and he's will
ling-so that it wouldn't be so crowded
at the capitol. | may think of other
needed / provements at the capitol
and on it's grounds which may
make known later on, and will
notify the good people of the state.
In the meantime, reserve your votes
for me for Janitor. JEFF l.. DAVIS
White Springs, Fla, June 10, 1907.
Quit your foolshness jeff, for first
thing you know, you will be pulled be-
fore a court, or into a mGndGm-us-dU

lie utterances in relation TO matters

John L. NeeIey For Railroad Com
missioner.

Perhaps no political announcement
that has been made i'm this State for the
past several weeks will mean more to
the voters or be received by them with
more favor than the one that was sent
out from Tallahassee last week to the
effect that John l.. Medley would be a
candidate for Railroad Commissioner TO
succeed Commissioner John l.. Morgan,
who has announced that he will not be-
come a candidate for reelection.
When the Railroad Commission was
organized in 1897, and the men cOnsti-
tutng the first Commission began cast.

that for this position man Of patience,
of ability, of untlrng energy, of devO-

Secretary would fall the hardest work

this position the commissioners were
fortunate in securing John L. Nicely,
and the success Of the Commission, the
rapid manner in which il won the favor
and support of the people Of Florida
was due in no little part TO the able and
expedIent manner IN which Secretary
Medley handled the business coming be-
fore that Sody.
Mr. Medley resigned his position in
1901 to enter upon the practice Of his
profession IN Tallahassee, and since that
time has made rapid advances in his line
of work until today he stands at the
head Of the bar Of the Capital of Flor
ida. He is earnest and sincere in his
every endeavor and will make Florida
one Of the best Railroad Commissioners

Miss RebeCCd F. burlington.

At her residence in Scotland Neck,
after 4 short illness preceded by
poor health for some time, on Sun
day, June 2, 1907, about 6 p. M,
Miss Rebecca F. burlington, in the
seventyfourth year of her age,
passed through death into life to be
with her Lord and Savior.
She has been a faithful and de-
voted member of the Episcopal
church in Scotland Neck for many
years. The church has had no truer
friend. no one who has been a more
sincere, earnest and continuous adj
vocate of the church's precepts and
practices than Miss Rebecca Pur-
rlngton. She has been in all things
continuous worker for her church.
She has never relaxed her efforts to
do all the good she could for the ad-
vancement and welfare of her
church. OF her it could be truly
said, she loved her church. She was
ever endeavoring to do good and to
promote the truth of God as she held
it and believed it. Her whole and
sole wish was to do all the good she
could for others and to be as nearly
like her Lord and SAVER as possible,
striving to follow His blessed ex
ample in spirit and in truth, and to
walk in the light as He is the
light" that she might have fellow
ship" with all Christian people.
Such was Miss Rebecca Purrington
She will be long missed in her
church and in her church's work in
Scotland Neck.
I'm the way Of righteousness is
life and in the pathway thereof there
is no death" So that the example
and the prayers and the services of
the faithful must shed abroad con-
tinuously in all directions sweet hal
lowing influences for good that will
never perish.
The burial was in old Trinity
church cemetery at 4:30 p. M, June
3, 1907. A goodly procession follow
ed the remains to the grave. Beau
tiful hymns, such as Miss Rebecca
dearly loved, were used-the 419th,
ct is not death to die" and the
394th, 80 Paradise. o Paradisep'
These hymns were sung with voices
tremulous with sorrow at the loss of
our long cherished friend and sister,
who has knelt and prayed and com
muned side by side with us at the
altar of God for the last time on
earth. We shall see her gentle pres
| ence no more till we meet in that
land where death is not known anc
partings never come.
Many beautiful wreaths and lovely
crosses of flowers, tributes OF re
spect and tender affection, garnlsheo
the grave. Flowers, these stars Of
earth, these golden flowers, emblem'
of our own great resurrection, EN-
blems of the bright and better land.

and the tomb. u. w. L.
