LIVE OAKS PROGRESSIVE MEN.
Rev. G. A. Ridley Tells of the Latest
Big Deal and Its Promoters.
(TimeS-UniOn.l

(Times-Union.)
Rev. c. A. Ridley, pastor of the
First Baptist church of Live Oak, and
who is always anxious and ready to
speak a good word for his city, Is at
the Aragon hotel, en- route to the
Southern Baptist Convention. which
meets this week in Richmond, Va.
Mr.. Ridley said he would also attend
1 the jamestown exposition while away,
and would be gone about two weeks.
Mr.. Ridley was one of the original
five commissioners appointed by Gov
ernOr Broward to this exposition and
has assurance from those in charge
at jamestown of special attention and
courtesy. That. Florida has no build
ing at the great exposition is not the
fault of Mr.. Ridley or any other men,
Der Of the commission.
In speaking OF Live Oak, Mr.. Rid
ley said: Guess you saw where Live
Oak men and money had h1ght the
finest tract of timber land and one
of the largest mills in the state?
Well 1t is fact. The deal amounted
to half a million dollars, and every
dollar of the money was Live Oak
money. The purchase was made from
the Muller Lumber Company, Of
Tampa, the mill being located at
Odessa. The purchasers were Thomas
Bowling, Charles H. Brown, William
G. Hair and Chap. H. Tedder. The
purchase covers the entire holdings
of the Muller Company south of the
Coast Line railroad, including So
900 acres of timber. saw mill, plan
ing mill, railroad, etc. Mr.. Brown,
when seen yesterday after his return
from Tampa, told me that the new
company would soon begin the ex-
tension of the railroad from Odessa
to Tampa and otherwise enlarge and
enliyen the work.
| Say what you Will but 1t Is very
evident that the genius of Live Oaks
young business men is attracting the
attention of men from everywhere,
and is entering into the shaping Of
commercial life Of the entire state. II
you ask the secret Of Live Oaks
growth and prosperity, i will point to
these men and assure you that there
in lies our past prosperity and future
hope. No town in Florida can boast
of so many young men, none OF whom
know anything of failure in a bust
ness way. Look at these men whose
names we have just mentioned. There
Is Brown who Is yet In his young
manhood and looks like boy. But
he don't do business like a boy. He
is a genuine. Then there Is Chap.
Tedder. only a young man, but he has
demonstrated his ability and proved
that he can win. Take Will Hair, FIVE

Denatured Alcohol.

Notwithstanding the general
interest excited by the free
denatured alcohol legislation of
congress, it is now found after
three months experience that
no startling revolution of in
dustrial or agricultural con-
ditions, such as were predicted
after the passage of the act, have
occurred, and further, the pro-
duction of ordinary alcohol has
been in no wise interfered with.
1t is stated that denatureL alcohol
can now be had at from 50 to 40
cents q gallon, price that pro-
hibits its active competition with
gasoline or kerosine at present
prices. II is stated that it is fair
to believe that eventually there
will be q material decrease in the
cost of its production and in its
selling price and then its use rs
fuel and in the arts will become
more widespread.
Under the amendments of the
law the manufacture of alcohol
on q small scale is now permitted
and y denaturlng warehouse may
be dispensed with when the capa-
city of the still is less than 100
proof gallons per day, the alcohol
being conveyed to the warehouses
for. denaturing by pipes or cars.
A rather optimistic writer on the
subject IN The Scientific American
believes that communal distiller-
les, operated as were the grist
mills of olden days, are the real
hope of the farmer.-LouisIana

Mrs. Charles b. Hendricls.

Mary Elizabeth Johnston, wife of
Charles B. Hendrick, died Saturday
morning at her home, No. "a Lynwood
place. Mrs. Hendricls was the daugh-
ter of John Knox Johnston, for many
years a well known citizen Of New

served her golden wedding a year ago.
She leaves two daughters, Minnie L.
and Charles B. Hendrick, and three
sons, Charles A., Rollin H. and Burton
J. Hendrick. The latter, a graduate of
Yale in the class of 1895, is a writer on
the staff of NcClures magazine. An
other son, Leonard A. D. Hendrick

Displaying Flowers.

When displaying flowers in vases, as
on a mantel or center table, one thing
ought to be borne in mind, and that is
the palmer the vase the better the
flowers will show.
Somebody says that the difference
between a vase and a ''vahze" is that
the latter costs moro than $3.50 But
a "vahze" that costs. ss5 or SIS Is now
called an amphora, and both the
"vahze" and the amphora, were never
intended for use, but to be placed on
the stands or in inches as evidences
that their owner has money to burn.
To put flowers IN either would spoil the
effect of the flowers, for the eye would
be attracted by the beauty or material
Of the receptacle and the flowers would
be overshadowed.
To get the best possible effect Of flow-
ers, says the st. Louis Globe-D Democrat,
put them In the plainest possible vase
or bowl that win not attract attention
then they will be appreciated for them
selves and on comparison will be insti-
tuted between them and the receptacle
that holds them. A double handful OF
oxeye daises, black-eyed Susans, rud-
beckias, cornhowers, or any other COM
mon blossom will show to more advan-
tage in brown earthen pitcher than
in the costliest amphora ever carved
out of parian marble.
The japanese understand this princi-
pie. All their flower vases are OF the
plainest possible construction. But the
fiower-loving Japs 60 to the opposite
extreme In displaying their flowers, and
try by judicious arrangement to get the
best possible results from very few
flowers. They seldom display more than
half q dozen flowers in a vase, and try
always to have more foliage than
bloom, making green the predominant
color; thus setting off to the best ad-
vantage the tint of the flower against
neutral background. That, however,
! is a matter of taste A few flowers we'll
displayed give an effect of dainty ele-
gance. Americans like flowers in the
mass, but the good taste of both agree
regarding the simplicity Of the vase.

VARYING SENTIMENT.
The Future Outlook as to the Course of
Values.

New York, July THE action Of the
stock market during the present week
has reflected some conflict of sentiment
over the future course of values, or
some mixture of doubt among those
who have operated for higher prices.
Occasional irregular fluctuations of
prices have been the result. The bull
party, on the whole, has held the
ascendant and has been able to main
tain prices and make some show Of
strength in the market Sales to real
lie profits by those who bought stock
last week caused an early reaction, but
after these had been absorbed prices
again showed q hardening tendency.
The conviction seemed to be main
tanned that the worst of the unfavor-
able factors with which the market
has had to contend was safely passed.
Not the least formidable of these was
| the burdensome money settlements,
which weighed upon all financial mar
kets. The maturity of the half year
| in itself was matter for congratulation
| in the absence Of disaster in meeting

are evidence Of the enormous trans
actions which are put through not only
| In New York but in London and Paris
and especially in Berlin, where the
changes in the different items of the
report Of the imperial bank of Ger
many exceeded any previous record.
Even after the settlement was com
| -
emanate from the German capital and
were an unsettling influence on other
foreign centers. Foreign money mar
kets, however, were quick to relax
from the strain of the settlements.
The relaxation in money abroad failed
to develop any revival of investment
demand for securities and brought
corresponding disappointment. In New
York, the money market was slower to
relax rates on call ruling higher early
in the week than last week. The course
of the foreign exchanges also indicated
a waiting demand for our gold as soon
as any relaxation should occur In the
local money market. The belief be-
came general that resumption of gold
lexports to France was imminent. In
Istead of that, there was shipment OF
81 900, 600 to Holland, after which for
eign exchange rates declined and the
movement to Paris was averted. The
Bank of France is still seeking to re-
plenish its gold holdings, but London
Erelnquished some supplies late in the
week, with the effect of relieving the
demand upon New York.
