Commissioner. What does this
mean?
Is it possible that the lambasting
the present board have received
for their action with a high hand
in appropriatng the peoples money
has scared everybody off?
1t is a serious question Mr.,
Voter, for set of men simply be-
cause they fill the Offices of county
commissioners to appropriate the
peoples money to trips and corpo-
ration's benefit as the Fair Appro-
priation was. WE HOPE SOME
GOOD MAN WILL OFFER that
Will recognize the law as 1t is.
THE COUNTY COMMISSION
ERS HAVE NO RIGHT TO
NJ AXE APPROPRIATIONS
EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BY
LAW. They have no right to
make appropriations on petih-
ons. This is not the way it is
written in the law books, and they
each and every one in taking the
oath of Office affirm that they will
support the Constitution and be
governed by the Laws of the State
of Florida.
Our village is very quiet and ex-
ceedingly dry. Truck is suffering

corn to come up.

The "Secretive Sex"

Inc ocCTctlVS SSx.
Having had quite an extended
experience with women in a bust
ness way / want to endorse the
following clipped from the Spring
field Republican as in harmony
with my experience;
When handsome compliment
has been made, why not make it
widely known? 1t is necessarily
gratifying, both to the one that
made it and those who received it
The Advance is quoted as follows:
And now a St. Louis man says
if there be such a thing as the
secretive sex, " that sex is woman
He said it in explanation of his
announced determination never to
employ another man as his private
secretary. He has had men in
confidential positions, and he has
had women, and his vote is for the
women every time. A woman
doesn't betray her employer, is
the terse way in which he puts it
A woman will not leopard the
interests of her employer by using
knowledge gained in the Office for
her own benefit. He gives a
specific case. A certain railroad
was to build a new spur. In some
way it became known throughout
the office of the road where the
right of way was to be. Most of
the men in the office made hurried
attempts to buy the land, in order
to make profit off it, There
were as many women in the office
as men, and some of them had the
financial sense as strongly de-
veloped; but not one woman tried
to buy the land. By the activity
of the men of the Office, the plans
of the road were revealed long be-
fore the time. The men were will
ing to take the risk of embarrass-
ing the company which employed
them. The women were not. OF
the less subtle treacheries, the st.
Louis man cites cases, also. He
says he never has known a woman
who would deliberately sell infor-
nation to a rival about her EN-
ployer, but he has known many
men who would.
Similar testimony as to the honor
of women in business matters has
been professed before. 1t is one
of the reasons why most men pre-
fer women stenographers, because
they may, as a class, be relied
upon not to reveal the secrets of
their employers. There are those
who deny that being ''secretive,
is natural virtue of women, but
one acquired through necessity
Well, however that goes, it is
valuable to all employers.
