Cn ench side of the King s float was the Royal monogram, and tn. wEole was brillian.iy illuminated.
 Title Float.
 Immediately following the float car- rying King Prfscus VIII came the title float This creation was a mas terpicce and depicted the four seasons something symbolicai. Spring by lii- les; summer by gigantic sunflowers; autumn by chrysanthemums and win ter by a blasted and lifeless tree trunk.

 At the family dinner. which was a feature of the day, every one of the six sons and daughters was present. They are scattered through three States. but they all gathered under the old parental roof once more. Mir. and Mrs. Roberts have never had a death in their family.

At least some of the editors who
went to Tallahassee in the capacity OF
legislators are not satisfied with the
manner in which the states business
is being transacted in the capitol by
its cabinet officers. First Editor Joe
HUMPHREYS of the Bradentown Jour-
nal registered his protest and now
comes the editor of the Palatka News,
who was a member of the lower
branch of the legislature, and says:
Senator J. H. HUMPHREYS, editor of
the Manatee River Journal at Braden-
town, in the last issue of his excellent
journal, says: Sixty days in ITALIA
hassee has convinced the writer that
the peoples interests might be better
served by making a lew changes in
the cabinet officers" There is no mis-
taking the fact that Senator Hum
phries expresses the concenSus of
opinion of the members of the legis-
