nights Saturday Evening.

The funeral of Gordon, the little
5-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. J. A.
Mcdonald was held this forenoon,
the services being conducted by Rev.
Father O'Dwyer, at st. Phillips
Catholic church.
The church was crowded with
sympathizing friends of the family,
who were present to attest their
sorrow at the untimely demise of a
bright and happy boy who had been
cut down in his youth, just when his
young life meant so much to his
devoted parents.
Father O'Dwyer spoke words of
tenderest sympathy and comfort, of
deepest Christian hope and promise;
and the music was rendered with
peculiar beauty and sweetness. So
impressive were the services that
there was scarcely a dry eye in
the church when the final words
were spoken.
A large cortege followed the body
to its last resting place, in Green
wood cemetery, where the little form
was laid to rest.
Little Gordon Mcdonald was
known to many residents OF Bemidji
and his pleasant smile and joyful
laugh were rare treat to those who
are fond of the little folks. Being
a child of cheerful and kindly dis
position, Gordon was beloved by
his little playmates who will miss
him sorely.
The little fellow was taken i'll with
spinal meningitis, one of the most
fatal diseases that af1ict children,

The "KnockIns Bird"

A good story cropped out recent in Nogales, Sonora. It appears that some months ago a certain dealer in wet goods who ran a cantina, with a musical adjunct, in the building which was destroy ed, insured his property with Uncle Joe Faymonville "the insurance man." So far everything was proper and Tn good order. But about this time certain "knocker" appears on the scene and "knocks" the policy which Agent Faymon- vile had issued. The wet goods merchant ''listened to the KNOCKING bird, so to speak, an6 cancelled his policy with Fay.
 Then comes the fire. The wet goods man loses everything he has on earth, and has not a dollars worth of insurance.
 As consequence, there has re- gently been on exhibition on h. ternational Line the sickest look ing wet goods merchant in all 
 "Fay" says that he will contract to pay that "knocker" a regular salary, because in this case he saved his company $2,000.0O orc.
 The moral of this story is don't listen to the KNOCKING bird.

Wedding at Jupiter

At 5 o'clock Wednesday afternoon,
Nov. 18th, the strains of Mendels-
sohn's wedding march were heard in
St. Martins Episcopal church, at
Jupiter, and Rev. c. P. Jackson with
the groom, Mr.. Rex Chadwin Albert
son, waited at the altar for the bride,
Miss Susan Parkinson Carlin, who,
leaning on the arm of her father,
Capt. C. R. Carlin, was a dream of
beauty, clad in a creation of white
silk over white satin and the flowing
veil, carrying a bouquet of asparagus
fern and pink duchess roses. They
were preceded by Mrs. VIM. Arthur
White, matron of honor, sister of the
bride, who wore a gown of white
embroidered batiste.
The church was beautifully decor
ated with palms, potted plants and
hibiscus. The aisle was arched with
cocoanut palms, with potted plants
on either side and electric lights
shone out among the palms the length
of the aisle and across the altar,
which was outlined with white feath-
cry flowers. The ceremony was fol
lowed by a reception, after which the
happy couple left on the evening train
for Miami, taking with them old
shoes and a quantity of rice.

Transportation Very Important

Transportation is the greatest in
terest next to production. All wealth
comes primarily from the valuable
products of the soil, of the mine, OF
the forests and from the fisheries.
These products must be got to con-
sumers when they are Immediately fit
for use and to manufacturers when
they have to be handled by various
industries to fit them for consump-
ton. The cheapness with which they
can be got to market is matter of
the first Importance.

ABOUT COUNTY PRIS-
ONERS HIRE
GOVERNOR ADVISES CARRY
ING OUT The Law

The attention of the governor has
been invited to the fact that the
boards of county commissioners of
several counties refuse to allow cOun-
ty prisoners the amount provided for
the prisoners in chapter 1868, laws
of Florida, which is as follows:
TT shall be the duty of all boards
of county commissioners hiring out
convicts to work, to make provisions
for each convict so leased or hired
out, to receive on being discharged,
transr ortation back to the place from
which he was sentenced, or its equi-
valent in money for such purpose, in
addition to the sum of three dollars,
when his sentence is for a period of
less than four months, and for all
prisoners whose term of sentence
shall be more than four months, the
sum of five dollars, the same to be
paid out of the hire derived from the
lease of said convict"
To which the executive officer
replied:
This is certainly a humane law. 1t
appears as if the public sentiment OF
such a county should see that such
provision is enforced, without the
necessity of the governor taking ex-
traordinary measures to enforce the
same.
The state allows its prisoners at
the rate of two months off in a year
on account of good behavior, Some
counties allow this to their prisoners
and some do not. The result is that
prisoners from those counties who
do not receive this incentive to good
behavior, and who work side by side
with prisoners from those cOuntie:
who do receive this benefit due tC

Give Homeseekers the Facts

People are pouring into Florida.
They are not tender-footed. They
want to make Florida their home;
but they wish to be treated right.
We urge again our readers to tell the
truth about the land. The days of
old Bill Kendrick are past: He
could sell scrub sand hills for young
hammock" Lots by the hundred
were sold at Silver Springs, Avon
Park, St. Andrews Bay and other
towns-on paper. Even General San
ford, now resting on the other side,
is said to have brought a colony to
Sanford. Those efforts were egreg-
ious failures. Yet, the places were
all right. Look at Sanford today.
1t is the great celery section. Silver
Springs is yet one of the famous
places, one of the prettiest spots in
the world. St. Andrews Bay is com
ing again. Florida is all right, says
the De Soto News, but there is more
in the time and in the man than ir
the land. Show actual results to the
homeseeker.

A Good Example

A progressive grower who has had
better'success than most,of his neigh
bors is quoted by the Miami News
Record as explaining thus: Il have
quit buying crates, paying for pick
ing and packing my low grade fruit.
Analyzing the returns of years, |
found that only my best grades re-
turned to me satisfactory prices, and
the average was considerably reduc-
ed by the low class stuff at the bot
tom of the list. | tried the expert
ment with full cars of my best quality
and size, and the proof was over
whelmingly convincing | got more
than had dreamed cf. | am not
shipping fruit for peddler's market; +;
willing to let the imported stuff have
the field because the prices obtained
netted absolutely nothing" He later
carried this policy further, removing
the smaller stuff from his trees that
would never grow to any desirable
size. early in the season, thus con-
serving the vitality of the trees. The
result, he says, is that the remainder
is larger, healthier and brighter
fruit. He says he has seen the policy
of careful selection of the best to
send to the market tried on crops of
all sorts, vegetables and fruits, and
always with satisfactory results. 1t
is obvious that there is more money
and less expense in sending only the
best one has to market, but all have
not the good sense that this man has
shown.

good behavior, naturally become dis
satisfied.
There is no law compelling the
county commissioners to allow this
benefit on account of good behavior.
1t seems as if those interested in the
welfare of the prisoners should create
a public sentiment that would cause
the county commissioners to allow
this discount on account of such good
behavior.
