Probably an Early Primary

The Jacksonville Metropolis says:
on the 18th of January the State Ex-
ecutive Committee of the Democrat
ic party will hold a meeting at the
Aragon Hotel for the purpose of at
tending to business pertaining to the
next elections in this State. At this
meeting the date of the next primary
will be fixed and other matters per-
tanning to the election will be dis
cussed.
P. A. Holt, of that city, has charge
of the arrangements for the meeting,
he having been delegated to attend
to the same by the State chairman,
w. H. Price, of Mariana.
One of the most important acts of
the meeting will be the fixing of fees
for all prospective candidates.
The interest exhibited in the APP
preaching elections gives rise to a
rumor that the executive committee
is in favor of the primaries being
held on an earlier date than usual,
and it is possible that such a move
would be gratifying to many of the
candidates.

Oil Test on Ancient City Streets

A thorough test of oil is to be made
upon one of the shell streets of St.
Augustine and at no cost to the city
as the result of an offer made by the
Gulf Refining company and which
was snapped up by city council of
that place.
1t is believed that the use of oil
properly applied will hold down the
shell dust and will greatly prolong
the life of the shell paving. The
company offers to supply the oil and
to send men and apparatus to place
it without any cost to that city what
ever. This will enable the oil prop
Osition to be thoroughly tested.
We suggest that the town council
of Titusville make the request to the
Gulf Refining company to make an
experimental test here in Titusville.

Jordon had been taken ill in the
night and was apparently relieved.
After his wife and sisters-in-law
did all they could a heavy sleep
came over him and he remained in
that condition when Dr.. McNutt,
who was not able to 60 when at
first summoned. arrived. He soon
discovered that what was supposed
ly a deep sleep was really his death

sleep. He had evidently passed
away sometime before the physician
had arrived, with those near and
dear unto him anxiously awaiting
by his bedside ready on the instant
to minister to his wants, and we
can readily imagine the terrible
shock to his loved ones to learn
that husband and brother was no
more
The funeral was held from the
historic church of the parish of st.
Jude's Sunday afternoon. The Rec
tor and Choir, preceded by the
Cross bearer, met the funeral cor
tege at the entrance of the church
yard, the procession passing up the
aisle during which the Chant of the
Burial office was sung by the
officiating Priest and choir antipho-
nally.
The sermon was on The Resur-
rection" devoid of any personal re-
marks relating to the deceased.
Specially selected hymns by the
family were sung by choir and con-
gregation, after 'Nunc Dimittis" had
been chanted, the remainder of the
services held at the grave where a
large concourse of relatives and
friends had assembled to pay their
last tribute of reapect to him who
had ever been a loyal citizen and a
true friend.
Charles o. Jordon had been a
veteran of the Civil war in the Con-
federate army serving as 3rd Lieu
tenant in the Allegheny Battery
of the Stonewall Brigade and had
experienced everything that a war
rlor Is called upon to do. He fought
in all the memorable battles from
Bull Run to Appomattox.
He came to Monroe in the spring
of 1869 and afterwards married
Miss Alice McClintic, the youngest
daughter of DR.. Moses McClintic,
and lived on the old homestead
from that time until his death.
Mr.. Jordon will ever be remem-
bered as a faithful, industrious,
painstaking and leving member of
his family and the community in
which he lived, and his cheerful
and generous disposition will be
sadly missed from those who have
day by day been with him in his
going in and out among them.
