The great attraction seems to be

today Florida lands, suitable for the
raising Of any Of the big money crops
Of the state, can be purchased in their
natural state for far less than is asked
for those western lands
II has been frequently remarked
here in Florida that the state is being
far better advertised than ever before.
That is a fact, but ali the advertising

They nearly all buy on the monthly
payment plan, and it takes from three
10 four years in most cases, to pay up
the full amount of the purchase price.
This shows that it takes a big amount
of money to finance any of the coloni-
cation projects.
But the story Of how the West il
settling up is given just to show the
great demand for land and the golden
opportunity that awaits Florida if the
right move is made to attract tina:

tain trials which have recently taken
place in police court Of Stanford, and
also on the common observation of
many people in the community,
would surmise that Judge Owsley
may have some interest other than a
patriotic consideration OF the public
welfare, which constrains his oppo-
sition to penalty against the pur-
chaser of blind tiger whlskey. A
pointed reference to this interest was
made by me in his presence at our
joint discussion, aud will oe adverted
To more specifically In the speeches

Questions Of legislative policy are
not tit subjects for consideration in
contest for judicial office; but mas
much as they have been injected by
Judge Owsley into this canvass, more
particularly in his oft-repeated pri-
vate talks, resolved to declare my
own views publicly. 4
Referring to bis boastful declaration
that he has voted for local option in
Lincoln county, / will not deny IL,
for do not know. But have equal
ly good authority for saying that
when he did ST, IT VAS with an abject
apology and explanation TO saloon
keeper who held, and yet holds, his
personal obligation for about 5000 90
for whiskey which Judge Owsley had
purchased from him by the drink. 1t
is no uncommon thing for people, not
over astute, who are seeking some
personal preferment from the public,
to become sudden advocates of an at
tractiye moral sentiment. There Is,
nevertheless, distrust Of the SINGER
ily OF one who breaches morality and
practices immortality; OF the sincerity
Of the rampant temperance man who
votes dry at the polls and retires TO
his Office and votes wet out Of his bot
tie. There is also distrust OF one
whose reformation, If it has at all oc-
Cured, is colncident with his candid
acy for office. 1t may be that one may
jump Immediately from the swine
trough TO feast OF the fatted calf;
but when IL comes TO the point OF
seeking credentials for apostleship l
take II that the people would prefer
that he should "tarry a while at Jer-

Denny.

Since the death Of Mrs. James n.
Denny was reported at press hour last
issue, and the date and place OF tuner
al only could be given, we desire to
make a further statement In reference
TO this excellent lady.
She was formerly Miss Mary Beatie,
OF Missouri, and was a d?cendent OF
worthy and prominent ancestors. She
was 10 her fifty-sixth year, a devout
member OF the Presbyterian church, a
faithful wife, a devoted mother, and a
true woman In every walk OF life.
Those who survive her are her hus'
band, who has held many important
places OF public trust and has the con-
tidence OF his fellow citizens, one
daughter, Miss Katie Lee, four sons
Alexander, william, Samuel and Mar
snal, upon whom her beautiful traits
OF character are reflected. Such a
death proves not only a heavy loss t.
them, but TO the entire community In
which she lived. We, with the many
friends OF the family expsess our
heartfelt coincidence.

Fond Of Firearms. =.

AS the Montenegrin never, by any
chance, puts down his weapons, and a
couple Of murderous-looking pistols al
ways hang by his side, these pistols are
nearly always inlaid with silver. Be-
sides his firearms, the Montenegrin al
ways carries long dagger by his side.
The dress of the Montenegrin women
very much resembles that of the men,
excepting that the Turkish trousers ore
replaced by silk skirt, richly en-
broidered. The women never wear cor
sets, and, as rule, lose their figures at
an early age, owing to the hard labor
to which they are subjected by their
lords and masters. The language ex-
clusively spoken by the Montenegrins
is Snv dialect. The Montenegrins
were the first among the Slav races to
print books. The honor of having pub
lished the first S,av work belongs to
Georges Tsernoivitji, who, in 1s40, built
in his castle of Obod the first-known
Slav printing press, from whence came
those precious editions of hymn and
prayer books still to be found in Rus
sia. Public education has made gigan-
tic strides in Montenegro during the
present reign, and to-day there is not

kASPARILLA

This sterling household remedy is most
successfully prescribed for world of
troubles" For arrangements of the di-
gestive organs it is a natural corrective,
operating directly upon the liver and ali
mentary canal, gently but persistently
stimulating Z healthful activity. Its
beneficial influence extends, however, to
every portion of the system. aiding in the
processes Of digestion and assimilation OF
food, promoting = wholesome, natural
appetite, correcting sour stomach, bad
breath, irregularities of the bowels, con-
stipation and the long list of troubles
directly traceable to those unwholesome
conditions. Kasparilla dispels drowsi-
ness, headache, backache and despond-
ency due to inactivity of the liver,
kidneys and digestive tract. 1t is a
strengthening tonic of the highest value.
IT It fails to satisfy we authorize all
dealers to refund the purchase price.

"DlRCkbeard.v

About this time one of the most IA
nous of sea robbers was harassing the
Atlantic coast of North America. and
from New England to the West Indies
he was known as the great pirate
Blackboard" This man, whose real
name was Teach, was a terrible fellow
in appearance as well as acts. He wore
long, heavy black beard, which it was
his fancy to separate into tails, each
one tied with a colored ribbon, and
often tucked behind his ears. Some of
the writers of that day declared that
the sight Of this beard would create
more terror in any port of the American
seaboard than would the sudden ap-
pearance OF fiery comet. Across his
brawny breast he carried sort of
sling, in which hung not less than thres
pairs of pistols in leathern holsters
and these, in addition to his cut.ass and
knife or two in his belt, made him
n most formidable-lookin fellow, In
the early part of the eighteenth century
Blackboard made his headquarters in
one OF the inlets on the North Carolinn
coast, and there he ruled as absolute
king, for the settlers in the vicinity
seemed to be as anxious to oblige him
as the captains of the merchantmen
were anxious to keep out of his way.

HERMIT AND HORSE.
An Aged Illinois Character Who Fas-
tens Himself to = Plow and
Turns Up the Soil.

Congressman Robert r. Hit, chair
man of the house committee on foreign
affairs, and who represents the Ninth
Illinois district, occasionally receives
n letter from a queer old constituent
who resides on an island in the Mis-
sissippi river. The land is in Illinois,
though it is cut off from the mainland
by a slough which the swift current
has cut through the soil of 10 Daviess
county.
This old man, now in his seventy
third year, has resided on the island 27
years. He is hermit of the most ec-
centric character. living entirely alone
and away from sight or sound of any
isolated, his rude hut being hidden in a
network of willow brush and wild grape
vines. His hut cannot be reached with
out the aid of boat and guide, who
must find his way through a maze of
sloughs which wind around in a thou
sand acres of lowlands. The old man
is disturbed only by high water which
has three times invaded his abode and
washed him Off the island. He would
like to have Mr.. Hit induce Uncle Sam
to build a dam across the lcwland to
protect his little farm on the island
The old man is named Gottlieb Lett
sof. He was born in the province of
POmerania, Prussia, 73 years ago. He
comes from family of warriors. Two
of his sons distinguished themselves in
the war with Austria in 1866 and again
in the Franco-Prussian conflict in 1870
He says he has written his congress
man that if any help is needed to whip
the dons he will emerge from his home
in the brush and take a willing hand
Leitsof cooks. eats and sleeps in a
little room ten feet square. 1t is a
part of hut which he built with his
own hands. He has flock of chick
ems, COW and two cats. He farms the
land without the aid of man or beast
He has constructed queer plow after
his own odd ideas. 1t is made from the
forked branch of a tree. The forks
serve as handles and thills. To the butt
is bolted an old iron p.owshare. The
odd feature about the contrivance is
that the share points backward. The
aged Prussian harnesses his own body
and bitches himself to this p.ow. His
harness fits over his back and around
his waist. He couples onto the share
by means of a wire reaching from his
harness. Then he stands between the
thills, with which he takes ho.d with
mis- hands. He walks backward Ike
horse in his breeching. The share takes
hold in the soft soil and p.ows and fur
rows four inches deep. This is all that
is necessary in such rich land.
In this manner he has broken up
many acres. lie raises enough stuff to
support him and keep his stock. His
taxes are always promptly paid. In his
old age he performs all kinds of hard
work without experiencing any dele
terious results. He takes q turn at
hunting and fishing, is good shot and
