BAILEY PROPOSES
NIGHT SESSIONS.

Some interest was injected into the
Senate proceedings by the announce
ment of Senator Bailey, of Texas, that
ne had become enamored of the Gus
tom OF the British Parliament of
meeting in the evening. The Texan
said he realized the futility of asking
the Senate to conform to that custom
just now, but urged that the custom
airy rule providing that the Senate
shall meet at "12 meridian" be
amended to read SO post meridian. :"
Mr.. Bailey did not put his suggestion
in the form of a motion, and the
usual rule was adopted. 1t is a safe
prediction that "the British idea" will
find little favor in the upper house,
although its sponsor purposes to press
his suggestion later on.

boat house 24x40 feet for Mr.. Geo.

Excellent reports of the spread of
the Florida Citrus Exchange move
ment are made by Organizer Reid,
who has been doing missionary work
on the East Coast.
The growers Of that prosperous
and productive section of Florida are
joining the exchange and seem de-
voted to its purposes.
Indeed, it is difficult to understand
how any grower who desires to bet
ter his condition, to benefit from inn
proved and organized methods of
shipment and sale, can be true to his
own interest outside of the exchange.
The plan is at least worth fair
trial. No objections can be urged to
the system as it has been adopted.
1t has demonstrated its value under
the test of actual experience in Cali
fornia. Nor can there be honest OBJ
jections tothe headquarters selected.
In each instance, wisdom has guided
the exchange in making its choice.
An item Of the popularity of the
idea s.reported by Organ
izer Reid. In ten minutes, at De-
Land, $4,000 boxes of fruit were
pledged. Much the same sort of
success is attained at every other
point visited.
The exchange is sure to be sue

Oak Hill In for a Drainage Canal

Oak Hill section is; quite deeply in
terested in a drainage canal, which
is proposed to extend from the head
of Indian river to Turnbull bay. the
latter being about two miles north
of New Smyrna.
The Oak Hill correspondent of the
DeLand News writes as follows, on
this subject:
Oak Hill took up the subject and
got a surveyor to survey a route
from Indian river up the creek
through the cypress north to or near
the line between townships l8 and l9
and found a fall of p or 3 feet: then
they commenced at the lagoon and
went west up Whites ditch and
across the big saw grass just north
of the line and into the cypress.
Then they found New Smyrna peO-
pie were interested in a canal, and 50

where Oak Hill people left off tC

months on them and it is propoSeC
to have a canal 100 feet wide at heaC
of Indian river and Is feet at Turn
bull bay and 80 feet wide in the mar

Miss Conkling's Song Recital

To rather small but thoroughly
appreciative audience in the Titus
vile Opera House Miss Lena Conk-
ling rendered programme of about
ten or eleven selections last Friday
night and her fine soprano voice was
probably never heard to better adj
vantage. =
She just simply captured the ad-
miration of all and charmed every
musical person present by her voice,
which though perfectly pure, power
full and of wide range, was under
perfect control and shows gratifying
improvement within the past year.
Miss Anita Canova, of Rockledge,
acted as accompanist and fulfilled
that part perfectly. Miss Canova
played several very difficult piano
solos and she and Miss Jessie Lock-
hart, of Rockledge, rendered two
duets, giving variety to the enter
tainment. Miss Canova has musical
talent of a high order that shows
considerable training and attention.
We believe she is destined to become
a brilliant and accomplished pianist.
The engagement here completed
Miss Conkling's tour of the south
east coast from Miami to Titusville;
she having won the highest words of
praise at each recital. Miss Conk-
ling expects to spend another year in
the music and art department of
Stetson university at DeLand before
taking a course at some conservatory
of music in the north.
She carries with her the best wishes
of all her Titusville friends toward
winning the success she so well de-
serves.

No other medicine for woman's ills
has received such widespread and un-
qualified endorsement. No other med
icine we know of has such a record
of cures Of female ills as has Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
For more than 80 years 1t has been
curing female complaints such as
Inflammation, liberation, local weak
nesses. fibroid tumors, irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, Indigestion
and nervous prostration, and 1t is
unequalled for carrying women safely
through the period of change of life.
It costs but little to try Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and,
as Mrs Barclay says, it is worth noun
tains Of gold - to suffering women.
