ceased and following delicate oper-

DeLand Railway Officials Try to Obligs
the Public

That DeLand does not receive the
railway service to which it, as one OF the
principal stations on the line between
Jacksonville and Tampa. is entitled,
THE News does not hesitate to affirm
But when it is stated in the public press
that it is impossible to secure civil
answer from the DcLand employees OF
the railway company, an untruth that
is probably injurious to the town is sent
out. The young lad who runs the De
Land Supplement probably has good
intentions, but like all lads ne goes off
half-cocked. The 'editor' is not a
citizen of the town, or voter here Git
he is old enough to votc), and has not
been here long enough to learn cOndi-
tons
He probably does not know that De
Land is one of the very few towns in the
United States Gf there is another) in
which free freight delivery is given.
This is secured through {. a. Miller,
and the railroad is entitled to no credit
whatever for it. But we have it Just the
same.
There is probably no class of people
who is called upon to answer so many
fool" questions as the railroad man.
The editor" of the supplement -
supplement to what is not statcd-has
probably been asking some such qucs-
tons as youngsters will do. MIR. Powe
ought to take the boy on his knee and
answer the question. How can the lad
learn anything if he doesn't ask ques-
tions'
THE News man has lived in DcLand
some 81 years He has known &c Powc
since the two of us went sws&xSing to-
gether and took off all Our clothes half
mile or SO before we got to the lake; we

CHRISTMAS EXERCISES
ATTHE DE LAND CHURCHES

No very elaborate programs are to be
presented this Christmas by any of the
DcLand Sunday schools, but simple
exercises, and trees for the little folk,
will be enjoyed by most Of them. On
account of the continued illness Of
Rector Roche, St Banabas will not
attempt any celebration. Neither will
St. Peters celebrate as Sunday school,
On Christmas Eve the children of the
First Methodist Sunday school will have
their Christmas exercises, consisting Of
music, recitations, etc, and the indis-
pensable tree; exercises to begin about
: o'clock.
On Friday evening at 100 the chill
dren of the Christian church will be
treated to an evening of stereoptican
views, finished off with the usual tree.
On Saturday afternoon the little folk
of the Baptist Sunday school will have
their exercises and tree.
Probably on Christmas evening the
Grace Methodist Sunday school will
have its usual tree, with very simple
exercises.

The DcLand depot was burned to the
ground this morning.
The front of the building was discov-
cred on fire about 80 o'clock by the
Waterman at the College Arms hotel
An effort was made to get central at the
telephone station, but this was finally
found to be impossible, and an ALARM
was then brought down town on foot.
William Johnson, Agent powe's as
sistant at the station, and his mother
roomcd over the station. The fire had
gained such Roadway when they were
awakened that they escaped with only
their night clothes, Mr.. Johnson run
ming down street barefoOted and in his
night gown to give the alarm,
The alarm was finally given and the
fire apparatus gotten out. 1t arrived
too late to save the depot building, or
any of the freight house; but was effect
lively used in saving the Dreka ware
house. This was accomplished only by
hard work on the part of the depart
mCnt.

(Which was full oi freight at the time)

DE LAND DEPOT
BURNED TO GROUND

During the fire live electric light wires
fell to the ground and there were several
narrow escapes from clcctrocution.
W B. 'udgcr, who was chief of the
DcLand Fire Department many years,
happened to be stopping at the College
Arms Hotel. He was quickly on tn"
scene and fought fire with his old tim"
vigor.
G.. \. Drcka, with his usual thought
fulncss. was on the scene with buckets
Of coffee which he gave around to the
volunteer tirrmvn.
The loss is hard to estimate just at
this time, but will probably be between
S5,OOO.O0 and SO 100000.
For several years there has been more
or less of a demand to have the location
of the depot changed to some place west
of town. and do away with the running
of trains through the town, and along
one Of Our best streets, The opinion
has been divided as to the advisabil!'y
of making this change, It is probable
that the officials of the railroad will nov
insist on an expression Of opinion from
our people before rebuilding.

Palm Beach county is Florida's young
est as it was only created by the last
Legislature. That it is not going to be
behind the other counties of the State is
made certain however, by the unan-
unity with which the big issue carried.
Palm Beach county is on the band
wagon with the other progressive coun.
ties which have lately voted bond issues
for the improvement Of the county
highways Out of the amount realized
from the bond issue it is planned to con-
