The Sanford Chronicle says:
Zone hundred and ninety families
are coming to Sanford this year from
Canada" AS one Of the Time-sHe
aid correspondents says: Florida
may not be ready, for various rea-
sons, for new settlers" The Item
would call his attention To the fact
that they are coming by the hun
dreds each year and If he and his
section don't want any of them and
will make no effort To get them, by
making the improvements necessary
to attract the. settler, they will GER
taInly go To sections that are more
attractive, whether they would do as
well financially or not as they would
by coming this way.

Address to eachers.

To the Teachers of Eastern District of Carroll 1 County.
 l have again been appointed County Examiner.
 I shall follow the same general course in the future that I have followed in the past.
 Because of a dearth of teachers in the county I have raised grades and given parties license. I trust that in the future that this contingency will not arise, and I shall certainly refuse to raise grades so long as other appli- cants can make them.
 No excuse can now exist for lack of qualifications, as there are number of good schools all over the county that are in ses. sion from six to nine months in the year.
 The issuance of a license upon the proper showing is an official duty and no personal friendship, or malice should have any bear ing with the Examiner in the dis charge of his official acts.
 If any favors are to be given they should go to those on first examination and not to those who have presumed to teach the branches on which they are ex- amined.
 The State Superintendent of schools has requested those un- der him to construe the law in reference to the extension of cer- tificates to the plain letter and intent of the act which request is surely timely and should be followed by all Examiners.
 The same rule will apply be- tween the Examiners of the two districts of the county in the fu- ture that has been iE force in the past, viz:- That those living in a district must be examined in that district.
 If any one who lives in the Eastern district wishes to teach in the Western district his pa pers and money will be trans ferred to that district without cost to him.
 While Carroll county in the way of schools has nothing of which to be ashamed, still there is room for improvement.

Turn over new leaf, young man , in life's history and VOW to do so no more, but instead assemble with those who do know and who will always be found doing the right thing at your church, and there in humble submission to His will, offer up to your, Mas ter prayer for his blessings.
 Do not desecrate this good day in the wicked and sinful way tbat you have been doing in the past, hold this Thanksgiving as holy day.

How to Observe
 Thanksgiving Day.

The last Thursday in Novem- Der is the day set apart by this great country of ours, (these grand and glorious United States) for Thanksgiving day, a day wherein every man, woman and child should bow their heads in prayer to our Maker for the multitude of blessings which He has seen fit to bestow upon each and every one of us, though wicked and sinful we might have been all of our lives. He has been good to the sinner as well as to the saint, he has caused the rain 10 fall upon the unjust as well as the just, and yet how far we fall short of our duty to our Maker! A great many people, certainly misconstrue the object and purposes of Thanksgiving day. There are some who with gun and dog take to the fields to shoot the innocent and un5us- peetng quail or squirrel; many others, for ary kind of sport, fun or frolic, amusements of any nature,  anything but the real purpose for which this day was intended. Some few have a different view and these will remain at home and talk, and discuss their neigh bors, their faults and habits, not for q moment do they speak of the good traits of these friends and neighbors, but gossiping and tattling seem to be the ruling en- joyment of the day. Then there is class, who we'll know the ob- ject and purpose of Thanksgiv- ing day and this class though small, yes, very small, will re- spect this good day and spend it as the day should be.
 A few of these good people will meet in their holy sanctuary and there lift up their voices in prayer to their Master for the many blessing and comforts showered upon them and theirs. This class of people are few and far between, yet the good Lord will hear and answer these prayers. My dear young men, stop and reflect ere you desecrate this great and good day. Celebrate it IS it should be and as it was intended to be, a day of prayer and thanksgiving to our good Master for his good ness and kindness to us through all of our lives. As the day rolls around we oft times reflect, when we see the youth of the country

ALLEGING that it is in violation of the federal law prohibiting the operations of lotteries, Prosecut- ing Attorney Horsley has in- structed the merchants of Springdale that tn ey must dis continue the custom of holding monthly drawings in which vari- ous articles of merchandise are offered as prizes. Business men in other towns in Washington county are said to have com plained of the system in vogue in Springdale, which attracted crowds to that town and increas- ed the business of it's merchants, to the detriment of those of the other towns. It is stated threats were made that the attention of the grand jury would be called to the alleged violation of the law unless the drawings were abandoned. The merchants of Springdale who have been con- ducting drawings claim to have been entirely innocent of know ingly violating the law, but upon the advice of the prosecuting attorney have agreed, so it is stated, to discontinue the draw ings. One of the big drawings was to have been held Saturday, but it was announced early in the week that it would not take place.
