"Hurrah For DeSotO!"

Well may the Arcadia CHAMPION
exclaim in exultation: Hurrah
for DeSoto! Even if she did not
get the first county prize she stood
a close third in line and carried
many first prizes. Great is
DeSotow Yes. And every man,
woman and child who stood to
gaze with rapt admiration upon
DeSoto county's booth at the state
fair, must have thought if he did
not utter the same words, Great
is DeSoto." \
7 Had Commissioner Ed Scott
been able to read the minds of the
many visitors, he would have
swelled with pride. He did see
their delighted facial expression
and that should have been suf-
fcient to make him understand
that his county through its SPLEEN
did exhibit, was being honored and
praised by all. Indeed any county
standing third OH the list in COM
petition for the chief prize at an
exposition of such surprising merit
may we'll be spoken of .boastfully
by every one of its citizens.
DeSoto county carried off the
first prize fol one of the most im-
portant of all the exhibits at the
fair-the largest and best display
of vegetables. The trucking bust
ness is growing into great
source of wealth throughout the
whole country. As population in
creases and cities grow in size,
this industry will advance in inn
portance and be productive of still
greater financial benefit. There is
no state in the union where vege-
tables of almost every variety are
grown so successfully as i'll Florida,
and marketed SO early i'll the
season. The wonderful display
made by DeSoto county is a
guaranty of this. But that even
this splendid exhibit should have
won the laurel when i'll competition
with others of such commanding
excellence was, as we have stated
a sufficient ground for boastful
pride.

Scott, DeSoto carried off four o
the prizes for individual exhibits
Mr.. Pearce having made tn,

There are looks that wound and hurt.

THE SERMON.
Last Sunday morning the sub
ject appropriate to the sacramentaI
occasion was a discussion OF the
problem of the universe, How God
can be Just and the justifer of the
sinner. Text, Job 9: ;, How
shall a man be just with God?' and
ISAIAH As: 2l, "A Just God and n
Savior. y
When Brutus was consul OF
Rome conspiracy was discovered
in which his two sons bore a con-
spicuous part. The penalty was
death. Was ever a father placed
| in such trying situation'
If father love pardons what be-
comes of law and justice' If Bru-
tus the Judge condemns and exc
cutes his own SONS justice is salts
fed but father love is crushed.
The old man, true to the laws OF
his country was compelled to exc
cute his own children. Now we
have the problem before us, In
stead of Brutus it is God. Instead
of guilty SOILS it is the whole
world brought in guilty before
God" Instead of human law, it
is the immutable law of God which
says the soul that sinneth it shall
die" law embedded in the ma
ture of things.
To have clear thought OH the
subject let us say,
/ 1t is not the question HOW
CAN A SINNER GET TO HEA-
VEN?
Brutus' sons might have beer
freed and brought into the Palace,
but they would still have been re-
garded as guilty traitors.
A sinner placed in Heaven is
still regarded as a sinner till justice
is satisfied.
2. IT IS NOT A QUESTION
OF HOLINESS.
If a man could be perfect all the
remainder of his life what of the
sins of the past? A man may pay
cash to the end of his days for
what he buys, but it does not
settle off the old score on the mer-
chants books.
3. IT is NOT A QUESTION
OF MERE PARDON.
Had Brutus pardoned his SONS
they would never have been re-
garded guiltless by the citizens OF
Rome. But the question is
4. HOW CAN THE SINNER
BE PARDONED AND REGARD
ED INNOCENT?
SOLUTION PROPOSED
a, Blot out the past? 1t canno,
be done. What done is done.
b. Let loving God pardon him
We have seen Brutus cannot par
don. Roman law said the traitor
must die. The moral law of Goo
cannot be set aside. If gravitatior
is suspended in one instance the

a. Blot out the past? 1t cannot

b. Let loving God pardon him
We have seen Brutus cannot par

cannot be set aside, If gravitation
