They favored this Office with a pleasant
call.
One of the most pleasant card parties
of the season was that given by Mrs.
Clarence Summerlin at her pleasant
home on River street last Friday after
noon. Sixteen la lies were present and
the interesting game of five hundred
occupied the afternoon. 1t was a
Dutch" party, the decorations, score
cards and elegant lunch were all chara-
cterstc of the Faderland.
The attention of our readers is called
to the new advertis 4ment of p. p.
Cobb in this issue. A cordial invitation
is extended to every inhabitant of st.
Lucie and adjoining counties to attend
the grand fall dry goods and millinery
opening of this popular emporium.
The advertisement gives a fair idea of
the range Of goods that our people may
expect, but only by personal inspec-
ton can the richness of the selections
be fully appreciated.
Building operations in Fort Pierce
are progressing at a satisfactory pace.
Superintendent Jones is pushing work
on the new court house, and unless
some unforeseen accident should occur,
this magnificent building will be COM
pleted by Christmas. The TRIBUNE
building has been sheathed, the metal

Death of Mr.. r. E. Brand

K. f. Brand, regular winter visitor
to Jensen, and formerly resident there
died in that city last Sunday at noon, at
quite an advanced age, death result

ensive interests in Newark and Plain

vested in mortgages in st. Lucie county

Fort Pierce, was the week end visitor
of w, II. Leonard at Beuah Cottage
on Saturday night and Sunday morning.
Other engagements necesSltated his
remaining in town until the late train
Sunday morning.
The roughness of Indian river, or
other seeming discomforts did not
lessen the interest manifested by sew
eral young people attending the recital
at Fort Pierce Friday evening. The
program was strictly adhered to. The
only fault, if such it could be called,
was the rapdity in which the numbers
were given, with but one exception,
and that the gem of the evening. The
dance which followed was among the
pleasant features.
Thursday Miss England served the
Walton Country Club at the Club house
rnd at the usual hour The club is as
suming larger proportions as new
members have entered the lists and
others are about to do so, which is
certainly an agreeable announcement.
AS usual, games prevailed. A picture
of the charming hostess, as one of the
prizes, was secured by Mrs. j. H. Le-
Tourneau, of Eden. A good time was
enjoyed.
Captain George F. Cook, manager
of the Cook Steam ship Co., now fiy-
ing between Miami and Jacksonville,

Point and other prominent places in
the near future. Plans will be made
at this time for one of the company's
ships to touch at Sewalls Point and
Stuart, where large piers and ware
houses will be erected. The people
are very enthusiastic over the trolley
line which is to be built connecting
Fort Pierce and Sewalls Point, with
the Cook Steamship Co., thereby con.
solidating freight from all intermediate
points for the steamers.

THE Ease Coast is still on the map,
thanks to kind Providence. The recent
hurricane merely touched the extreme
south end of the East Coast, and the
reports that were sent out of the de-
yastation of the whole coast was mere
~ the widest guess. Three-quarters
of the East Coast did not know that a
storm was raging, except upon receipt
of the government reports, and even
then large number of our citizens felt
that the weather bureau had missed
its guess again. Fort Pierce in the
middle of the "deyastated region was
only enjoying a cloudy day, with an oc-
cassional shower and the usual four
mile breeze.

THE special Everglades edition" OF
the Miami Metropolis, containing forty
eight pages, was one of the finest in
destrial and agricultural editions ever
issued by Florida newspaper. 1t was
filled with valuable information con-
corning the climate, soil, fruit, vegeta-
bic and farm crops of the Everglade
country and all of Dade county, and
the probabilities and possibilities of de-
velopment when the drainage opera
tons now in course of construction are
completed The entire edition was su-
perbly illustrated with half tone views
If garden, fields and groves, and a
showing of the rapid development of
Miami in the construction of many
elegant buildings that would be a cred

TOPOGRAPHIC errors are one OF the
chief banes of newspaper man S eX-
istence. In the rush of newspapers
making proofs" are read hurriedly' or
sometimes not at all, and occasionally
the result in the printed product is
astonishing. For instance, the story is
told of an editor who recently wrote a
"puf' for the belle of the ball, saying
"Her dainty feet were incased in shoes
that might have been taken for fairy
boots" hut the laundering composltor
made it read: Her dirty feet were In

LIEUTENANT Peary is making a dis
gusting spectacle of himself in his ef-
forts to disproye that DR.. Cook discOv-
cred the north pole. True, Dr. Cook
was not backed with government
commission and financial assistance,
and his success is the more creditable.
Those who know DR.. Cook, believe him
to be man of his word, and there is
no more reason to doubt that DR.. Cook
Dissolved the pole, than there is to
doubt that Lieutenant Peary taxed his
report of reaching the "farthest north
on his previous expedition. Scientists
and artc explorers have already ex-
amined DR.. Cooks notes, and pronounce
that the discovery is genuine.

These ciassifications, it will be not
ed, are in some instances, purely ar
bitrary, and overlap one another, but
not to an extent to destroy the impress
sion of the showing as whole.
The failures said to have been due
to lack of capital-342 out of every
1000-from the most significant fea-
ture of the entire exhibit They mean
that more than a third of those who
failed in business last year owed their
misfortunes to lack Of working capital
and that they tried to do more trade
than their resources warranted. The
enterprises represented in this COM
pilation included business concerns of
all descriptions. individual and corpo-
rate together with stock exchange
houses, and the figures graphically
illustrated the dangerous habit of
American business men to undertake
operations beyond the supporting pow
er of their available means.
That only is out of every 1000 of the
failures in 1903 are attributed to COM
petition indicates that conditions in
that respect are far less distressing
than a certain class of agitators would
have the public believe. A far more
disquieting showing is that relating
to failures due to fraud. That rs out
or every 1000 failures should have
been due to lawless practices denotes
a condition of business morals Ia
which the need of improvement is
both large and urgent.
How little the element of gambling
the bugbear of reformers of certain
classes, operates as wrecker of bus
mess enterprises appears in the state
ment that only 10 out of every 1000
failures in 1908 were due to that
cause. In the light of these figures
stock gambling" must be acquitted f
many grave charges so frequently
made against it, and the last item in
the list, loosely called speculation"
has reference to this.-Wall Street
Journal.
