The return of the saloons to Pontiac
has caused quite bit of activity in
some directions. Principally in the
direction of the county Jail and the
city hospital Last week the activity
was quite bit added to. Alexander
Wiley while drunk shot his wife and
then put bullet into his own head.
The miserable man and his wife have
since both died. The husband had been
drinking much of the time since the
saloons returned to Pontiac and his wife
was taking in washing to support her.
self and two children. She was bend
ing over the wash tub when the hus.
band shot her. Her young daughter
said the mother had some money pinned
to her apron which she had earned
through her weekly washing for eight
families. Wiley was arrested for drunk
enness two weeks ago, and had been
drunk most of the time up to his muir
derous and suicidal act. And the "reg-
ulated" saloons of Pontiac promised
that they would not sell liquor to men
in the habit of getting drunk. The
law and order business league" of Pom
tiac should meet again and pass some
resolutions that might be consoling to
the children Of the dead father and the
murdered mother.

WORK PROGRESSING On THE
TAMPA AND JACKSONVILLE

The fact that actual work has been
begun on the extension of the Tampa
and Jacksonville Railroad will be
cheering news TO practically every
county in the state as great interest
has been shown in the progress Of the
work and there is every indication
that the stockholders will be success
full in consummaring plans that will
make the road mean much TO Jackson
Vile. Tampa and intermediate points
The following item regarding the
actual work on the extension Is taken
from the Gainesville Sun Of recent is

| all:
| The contract has been let TO J. r.
Emerson and Oliver and Kite Of this
city TO grade and prepare the roadbed
/ TO seven miles of track on the south
end of the Tampa and Jacksonville
Railroad. upon which work was begun
this week.
This is conclusive evidence that the
stockholders of the T & j. mean bust
mess and that the road will be extended
south as rapidly as il is possible FOL
the work 10 be done \ force Of sufh
cient strength to rush the work on the
seven miles to completion without de-
lay will be placed on the work Mon
day. and il Is said that the laying Of
Irail will begin as soon as the grade l.

There are great things in store TO
this city If the improvements contem
