Liquor Advertisements.

The Chipley Verdict has very
timely editorial on this subject from
which we publish the following ex-
tract. We fully concur in the stand
taken by the Verdict.
1.-THE Verdict has turned down adj
vertising of this character which
would pay it $50 per month by the
year, during the past thirty days.
The people of Washington County,
by majority vote, say that no
liquor shall be sold in the county.
We contend that the Verdict nor any
other paper published in said dry
territory has the legal or moral right
to act in the capacity of soliciting
agent for mail order whiskey dealers
by publishing their ads. at any old
price. So we turned ours down, and
1--WE need the money" too.
Several papers in dry towns
throughout the state are running these
apparent syndicate ads. and it is about
time the legality of it was questioned.
Would be glad to have Hon. G.. l..
Wilson, candidate for State Attorney,
enlighten us on the subject. The
legal trend, Of course"

Financial Condition.

We enter new year with many
lessons learned, with chastenel
spirits and added wisdom. Since the
events of October and November we
have seen what the very nearly unani-
nous opinion of business and finan-
cial authorities declared out of the
question six months ago-a period of
falling bank clearings in large ma
jority of financial centres, of railway
earnings reduced not only in net but
in gross, of textile mills suspe nding
or curtailing production, and of cor
poration dividends passed, reduced,
or paid in substitutes for cash. In
short, business recession is here, and
this despite the adoption during the
panic days of the last two months Ct
such extraordinary measures of as
sistance as the importation of nearly
500, 200, 900 of foreign gold, the de-
post of vast sum of public funds in
the banks, and a rapid expansion of
bank circulation. The panic was re-
lieved, but the underlying causes of
it which had to do much less with
the currency supply than with the
relation of the business we were
transacting to the volume of our
available investment capita, still re-
main to be dealt with. We have
carried prosperity little too far;
/ liquid capital has been transformed
too rapidly into "fixed" capital; de-
struction of property in wars and ac-
cidents of nature and the extravagant
expenditure which forms an inevita-
BILE incident of all periods of expand
ing business, have all played their
part in disarranging our economic
machinery, and we now confront the
reckoning.
| Yet the American people will face
/ this situation, as others like it have
been faced, with the confidence born
of the greatness of our resources and
! the essential soundness of our pros
perity. Never was problem more
complicated by diverse and contra
dictory factors than is that of the
year 1898; but it may be safely pre-
dicted that this problem will be
worked out in manner worthy of
American enterprise and resource
fulness, and that the future will be
E. Al
past.-Boston Transcript.

Death of Juanita Green.

Our community was saddened We'd
nesday morning on the arrival at our
dock of the steamer Tarpon with flag
at half mast, to learn that ALA Juanita
Green had died at eleven o'clock
Tuesday night, while en- route from
Pensacola. Little Juanita was a gen.
eral favorite here, and her death cast
gloom over the entire community.
Some weeks ago while at school in
| Eufaula, she was alta eked with very
severe form of diptheria. She was
apparently slowly recovering and her
parents with the advice of their ply
stefan concluded to bring her home
thinking possibly that she might make
a more rapid recovery in this genial
cline; however the fatal disease had
so weakened her constitution that she
passed away unexpectedly as stated,
resting in her mothers arms.
ALA Juanita Green was the oldest
child of Walter w. and Alvesta Green,
was born January 4th, 1895, being
therefore little over thirteen years
of age. For the past three seasons
she has been attending the Alabama
Brenau, at Eufaula Alabama. She
was bright scholar being very ad-
vanced for her age, and greatly be-
loved by her teachers. With other
studies she was taking a special
course on the violin, being quite a
proficient player on that instrument,
as we'll as the piano.
A. H. Brake took charge of the re-
mains, which were taken to Gay this
morning, to be laid at rest in the
family burying ground at the old
homestead. Services were held at
the grave by Rev Joyner. The family
and some of the friends were taken
to Gay on the launch Leonore this
morning, while other friends went by
team.
Kind friends did al that they could
to soften the blow 80 the sOrrowing
parents and special Kindness and
consideration ~-.owr by Capt
Barrow and his fellow officers of the
Tarpon. The parents have the heart
felt sympathy of their mum erous
friends on the Bay in this their great
/ bereavement. Little Juanita has left
us but the sweet remembrance of her
quiet, gentle, and serious nature will
! long remain with us.
