ADIRU. Mr.. BRYAN.

About the only consolation we demo-
Gratis can get out Of the election is that
It forever retires William Jennings
Bryan as the leading factor in the coun-
ellis Of the party.
The present editor Of the True Demo
crat has never favored him as q presi-
Dental candidate. His free and unlim-
tied sixteen to one coinage Of silver
policy was to Us one Of the most per-
nieious ever advocated by man ex-
pecting the support Of his eountrYmen.
In our feeble way we then protested
against his nomination. But when the
majority Of our party saw otherwise,
we did the best we could.
His second and third nominations
were also against our best judgment.
The great business interests Of this
country can not be expected to support
q candidate 80 erratic as Mr.. Bryan and
with policies so revolutionary. We
hope the last defeat will bring wisdom
to the leaders Of the party,
That it may result in the permanent
retirement Of Mr.. Bryan,
And the nomination four years hence
of a clean candidate who stands some
chance Of winning.

10 our FRIENDS.

On March 8, 1906, we began the pub
lication Of The True Democrat, and
from the first issue to the present time
we have worked hard, with various du-
ties upon ourself connected with theof-
fee IN all departments, until now bro
ken in health from affects of LaGrippe,
We are compelled to retire from so
great q responsibility, in the hope that
we may regain health and again become
fit for some avocation In which we may
earn living for our loved ones. You
have all been kind TO me, and while
have not accumulated much of the
worlds wealth, / have made all Of the
people Of my city and county, men,
women and children, both white and
eolored, my warm personal friends, OF
whom am proud, and value more than
worldly goods, for in such haYe treas
ure stored up more valuable than gold.
It has been my desire always to give
my readers q clean, honest home news
paper, and 20 far as have succeeded
you are the best judge. To you, must
now say goodbye az your editor, but ]
give you in Mr.. Milton A. Smith, my
successor, a pure, clean, competent
man, who will take up the work where
leave of, and who win, ] believe, 60
on with it and do even better than /
have done, Win you not be as good to
him as you have always been TO mel /
believe that a kind providence has di-
rected him to this field Of usefulness,
and gladly, now that / must, turn it
over to such true christian gentleman
as he, with all the good will within me,
with heart full Of love for him and
you all. Sustain and support him liber-
ally, and he will give you his best eff
forts, and it means hard work for him.
Now, to my good friends all over
Florida, particularly to every Florida
editor, must say good bye and God
bless you, for / love every single one Of
you, from the depth Of my heart. Nay
you all be prosperous and healthy and
happy through life.

In turning over this business to Mr..
Milton A. Smith, my good will goes

trOnage and encouragement and sup
port, now support and sustain him. He

The Woman's Club gave lite usual
Halloween fete last Saturday night,
October 81.
The affair was given at the gymna-
stun which was appropriately decora-
ted for the occasion, with lunches Of
cornstalks tied with the clubs colors,
pumpkins, black cats and autumn leaves.
OF course, there were the gypsy tents
made of sheets, decorated with black
cats and various other animals.
One very noticeable feature was the
large black "Silence," over the door as
you entered. The guests took the hint
admirably and silence prevailed. All OF
the lights save one dim one In the corn
err, were put out. Then the club, &c
ghosts came in the side door and
marched around the room 10 Chopin's
Funeral March. II really did look ghost
" and scary.
Programs ornamented with q black
cat, were then passed around an the en-
tertainment began. Everyone seemed
TO enjoy Il, while the gypsies did their
part telling fortunes. Pink lemonade
and doughnuts together with peanut
brittle were served during the entire
evening. It was q great success and Il
was WITH reluctance that the guests
finally departed.
