the glad hand We would much rather
the blondes were left at home, though.

each other trying to get acquainted
with them, and soon 1t would be a case
of step children instead of stepdaugh-

TWO BOND TRUSTEES
NOMINATED MONDAY

Pursuant to the call issued by the
Fort Pierce board of trade at meeting
held last week, a mass meeting of the
voters of the second school board dis
trict was held in the Improvement club
hall, Monday afternoon, for the purpose
of nominating two candidates for road
bond trustees for the second district.
The meeting was called to order by
FL Hemmings, secretary of the board
of trade, in the absence of President A.
D. Penney. who, in few words, ex-
blamed the object of the meeting and
called for nominations for chairman of
the meeting.
An organization was perfected by the
election of F. L. Hemmings, as chair
man, and John H. Wynn, secretary.
Upon the adoption of motion that
the caucus would receive the names OF as
many candidates for road bond trustees
AZ should he presented. and from the
list so presented a secret ballot should
preyail to determine the choice OF the
tax PAYERS, the following names were
presented: E. S. Williams, A. {. Dit
mar, C.. M. Horton, r. Whyte and X.
Is. KallICTSOfl. ne iiIiol icHu''n ~
the election of E. s. Williams and \.
b. Rauerson as the candidates of the
tax payers of the second school district
for road bond trustees. BEFORE the
ballot the name of G.. M. Horton was
withdrawn from consideration. but de-
spite this fact he received IA compll-
mentary vote. -.
The candidates thus put forth by this
district is again a matter OF little con
sequence which one is elected. Both
are honest, capable and competent mer
and the election of one over the Other
can be nothing but matter of indlvl-
dual pre- ference. and the road affairs OF
the county will be in competent hands,
as far as the member of the board from
this district is concerned, regardless OF
which is elected.
The other districts of the county are
expected to soon take similar action
and it is a safe prediction that all SIX
of the candidates what will be noml
mated will be amply capable of justl!

the county, If the same is voted by thu
people at the election to be held Dec. !

1t is small wonder that they turned
to the Florida Citrus Exchange for
protection, and asked to share the
benefits of its matchless system of dis
trbution and marketing. They have
tried all methods only to find them
selves in prcdcament from which
there is no other escape. They must
perforce take the selling business into
their own hands, as did the peach grow
ers of Georgia, and this they are doing
by joining the Exchange. They are
coming into the local associations by
dozens and forming new ores constant
ly, and within fifteen days the whole
territory in the Ridge Country will
be fully organized.
A Sub Exchange will be formed at
Fort Pierce, embracing the local ASSOC
Citations in st. Lucie county, and there
is little doubt at this writing that a
majority of the crop, or more than 5O0,-
900 crates will be under contract to the
Exchange before the actual shipping
season begins.
K. l.. Goodwin has taken a most
active part in waking up his fellow
growers to the acute danger of their
position, and explaining the advantages
of Exchange membership, with the re-
suit that several local associations have
been formed, and are now awaiting
their charters. A Sub-Exchange will
be formed as soon as these locals are
permanently organized. Mr.. Goodwin
has already signed up over $50, 600
crates, and planned an active campaign
for the next ten days that wi reach
every grower in the district with de-
tailed personal explanation OF the
workings of the system.
He has already made several ship
ments through the Exchange with emf,
nently satisfactory results, and the ball
is already in motion. Two cars will he
shipped from this vicinity this week,
and go to an assured market. Temper,
arily the business is being handled
through the sub-exchange at City
Point.
Enthusiastic meetings were held on
Saturday at White City and by the
Ridge Growers Association, and as
direct result, new local association
will be formed in the county, contribu'
ting approximately $50, 900 crates.

Dublin Bootblaeks, 1880.

Among the populace Of Dublin in
1850 the shoeblacks were numerous
and formidable body. The polish they
used was lampblack and eggs, for
which they purchased all that were rot
ten in the markets. Their implements
consisted of three legged stool, bas-
ket containing blunt knife called a
spud. painters brush and an old
wig. A gentleman usually went out in
the morning with dirty boots or shoes,
sure to find shoeblack sitting on his
stool at the corner of the street. The
gentleman put his foot in the lap of the
shoeblack without ceremony. and the
artist scraped it with his spud, wiped
1t with his wig and then laid on his
composition as thick as black paint
with his painters brush. The stuff
dried with Il rich polish, requiring no
friction and little inferior to the elab-
Grated modern fluids. save only the in
tolerable odors exhaled from eggs in a
high state of putridity, which filed
any house which was entered before
the composition was quite dry and
sometimes even tainted the air of fash
ionable dra wing rooms Polishing shoes.
we should mention, was at this time a
refinement almost confined to cities,
people in the country using grease.

An lnsuItihc Parrot.

Bayard Taylor related the following
about parrot once owned by a lady
in Chicago:
When the great fire wars raging an
owner saw that she could rescue moth
ing except what she instantly took in
her hands There were two objects
equally dear. the parrot and the old
family Bible, and she could take but
one. After a moment of hesitation she
seized the Bible and was Fastening
away when the parrot cried out In a
loud and solemn voice, Good Lord,
deliver usr' No human being could
have been deaf to such an appeal. The
precious Bible was sacrificed and the
bird saved. He was otherwise clever
bird. In the house to which the parrot
was taken there was. among other
visitors. gentleman rather noted for
volubility. When the parrot first heard
him it listened in silence for some
time; then, to the amazement of all
present. 1t said very emphatically,
"You talk too much!"
The gentleman, at first embarrassed,
presently resumed his interrupted dis
course. Thereupon the parrot laid his
head upon one side, gave an indescrib-
nbly comical and contemptuous Hint"
and added. There he goes againv

Ruling On Sale OF Interstate
School Tickets.

The Pennsylvania Railroad has
issued circular stating that the
Inter State Commerce Commission
has advised that the sale of schdo'
children's tickets between points in
different States is discriminatory
and unlawful, and that, to the
management's regret, the sale of
such tickets will be discontinued
on and after February 10 next.
Sale of such tickets within State
lines will be continued. The
stoppage of such tickets will be a
tax on several Tome Institute stu
dents who live over the line in
Pennsylvania, as we'll as a number

Delaware College and the Business
Colleges of Wilmington.
