Government will eventually place a
Navy Yard and arsenal there.
The shores of this splendid bay are
mostly high and dry, ranging from
eight to twenty-five feet above sea
level and fringed with massive live
oaks, magnOlias, hickOrys, pine and
palms with beaches of clean white
sand. All inland people who have
visited here are delighted with the
pretty locations for homes and many
purchases for that purpose have been
made in the last year. Not only
around fiourishing Panama City, the
teaminql of the Atlanta & st Andrew
r. r., but for miles on either side
people are buying locations for houses
and talking of the beauties, health
fulness, and practicability of select
ing and buying suitable Localities for
camp meeting grounds, military
camps, fish and countsy clubs, tourist
hotels and Chautauqua, while prices
remain so reasonable. For yachting
and canoeing this bay cannot be ex-
celled
The shores of st Andrews Bay are
backed by rich, fertile, black lands
on which all truck, such as cabbage,
pOt"tOes, sugar cane, straw berries,
peanuts, melons, beans, corn, &c,
can and have been successfully raised
On our hardwood ridges, tobacco is
making its way. Oranges are now
growing in the groves planted in the
fifties. Grape fruit, lines, lemons,
| figs, peaches, pecans, Walnuts and
every variety of grapes do exceed
ingly well here.
Stock raising is inexpensive and
successful, for nature has provided
ample grass for the stock, with acOrns
and ground nuts for the swine. For
the spOrtsmen, small game is album
dant, with an occasional bear, some
deer, and many wild turkeys. Oysters
and fish of every variety abound in
these waters. For healthfulness our
/ bay country has no equal.
| Slowly but surely the truth and
merits of st Andrews Bay are coming
to light, and many men, and the
Government, are spending and con-
templating the expenditure of much
money on Improvements on and
about it.
! There is the proposed trolley line
to skirt our bay; the Atlanta & St
Andrews r. R., just completed to
| Panama City, which place is situated
/ very nearly central for all our Bay;
| the Birmingham, Columbus s; St An
drews R. R., having terminals ar
ranged for, and the Georgia South
west & Gulf R. R., proposing to build
line from Albany, Georgia, to some
point on st Andrews Bay, and the
governments present survey of the
pass with view to deepening the
same. All Southeast Alabama, South
west Georgia and West Florida are
looking toward this harbor for their
gateway to the whole world.
When the great Panama Canal is
finished, st Andrews Bay will be
nearer the Occident, China, and the
Innias than New York, and further.

Woman a House Painter.

At Forthwith avenue and Lexington
street woman, clad in overalls and
jumper, is painting her own fiat build
ine, says the Chicago Daily News.
Mrs. Lydia Johnson, q widow, be-
lieves in the ability of her sex to do
almost anything man can do, and
when taking care of fiat buildings is
considered, she has proved her belief,
for Mrs. Johnson does the paper hang
ing, kalscmining and painting in eight
apartments and does not hesitate to
decorate window frames three stories
up.
She is carpenter Also can hit a
nail with hammer ten times out of
ten, and in winter puts up the storm
windows. She has fitted each window
with a combined screen and awning,
patented by herself.
She mixes her own paint and goes
about the task with smile, which she
thinks should enter into every can of
paint. When the colors are ready
Mrs. Johnson cleans the woodwork
with wire brush, leaving fresh sur
face, and then, to complete the job,
washes the windows.

the PRIMARY LAW

The introduction Of the prim-
airy election law has worked a
revolution in politics. 1t has
been in operation but short
time but during that time it has
practically tolled the death knell
Of the party boss. The voter
has discovered that he has a
power he never before dreamed
he possessed. The people rule
now in fact as we'll as in theory
and woe betide the party boss
who sets himself up in oppOsi-
ton to their sovereign voice.
The primary law has defects,
but in the main it is all right.
In some cases it tends to foster
large number of candidates
and under it's workings, at least
in Minnesota, a minority candi-
date is occasionally chosen.
But the advantages are so
much greater than the disadvan-
tages that he would be a bold
man who would openly advocate
it's abolition. The law can be
amended and improved; it must
not be abolished. The people
are satisfied with it quite gener-
ally, and what the people say
goes" in this country.
The tendency to abolish party
is to be regretted to some ex-
tent. Political parties are de-
sirable for many reasons, but
when they sink to the level of
mere corrupt machines to carry
out the behests of the bosses, as
they have in Minnesota, a little
disruption will not do very much
harm. The primary is here to
stay. The boss knows it and
had better get in line Or be re-
legated to political pbloquy.

The conviction Of "Sherm'
Smith Of contempt of court
comes as no surprise to those
who are acquainted with that
worthy. Smith is an exponent
of all that is corrupt and disre-
putable in politics and now he
has capped the climax by being
convicted of contempt of court
for attempted jury tampering
The evidence showed that he
was tool of the Wood Brothers,
the well known bucket shop"
artists. And yet this man Smith
has occupied a high seat in the
councils of the republican party
of Minnesota, having served two
terms in the legislature and been
one of the influential factors in
Hennepin county politics. No
wonder the republican party in
Minnesota is in a bad way with
fellows of the Smith stripe in
power. Some more vigorous
house cleaning should be done
if the party expects to regain
it's old time prestige.

That the county printing went
to the st. Cloud Times was not
the fault of the other editors in
the county, who, with one ex-
ception, made strong effort to
get the work. They claim that
they could have given better
service at less expense to the
county, aud inasmuch as their
combined circulation is greater
than that of The Times and Der
Nordstern, to which papers the
county commissioners assigned
the work, there is some truth at
least in what they claim. In the
interests of the taxpayers and to
enable the published proceed
ings to reach them all, the pub

Gun Fired by a Rabbit.

An extraordinary incident occurred
close to the village of Milton, near
Newport Pasnell, on Friday. A COM
mercial traveller while driving along
the road stopped to speak to two
gentlemen who were shooting rabbits
alongside the hedge. One of the gen.
tlemen laid his gun on the ground
while he placed ferret in a hole. A
rabbit boiling at this moment ran over
the triggers of the loaded gun, which
it released with its feet, the traveller
having a very narrow escape
