THE MlS-SPELLED WORD CON.
TEST

All the contestants in the race have
now missed one or more words, and
nearly all are in the game to stay, rs
was evidenced last week. Those who
have missed only a few words should
not be discouraged as their chances
are good for winning one of the prizes
if they will jast keep at it.
Nine have missed only one word,
and some of these will necessarily be
penalized on account of having been
caught on catch" words.
Several of the contestants sent in
proper names as mis-spelled words,
last week and of course this will
count against them at the final sum-
ming up.
Take your time in looking up the
spelling of the words, as many make
the mistakes of thinking that they
know how they are spelled and fall
down" on the simplest OF words.
Also, please remember that where
there are two ways of spelling a
word, either is correct, whether the
commonly used or the more obsolete
one appears.

A "BARGAIN BALCONY"

On account of the constant growth
of the business of Fishel & Sons de
partment store on North Magnolia
store, and the consequent lack OF
floor space, they have been compelled
to erect in the rear of their store
room a balcony containing some 400
square feet 1t is raised about mid
way between the floor and ceiling
and though it somewhat darkens that
portion of the place, gives them con

Major Thos. H. Johnson, who is a
game lover of sport, says that he had
not gone 'possum hunting since he
was a boy, and on Friday night time
turned back in its flight" and the old
spirit again came over him, and
whilst he was thus yearning for a re-
petition of the old times he met up
with July Brown, the most famous
posum hunter in Florida After
some parleying, to make long story
short, they got their dogs together
and started for the woods He said
that he never had such luck even
when boy The catch amounted to
six fat 'possums, of the Bill Taft"
variety, and the biggest raccoon he
ever saw. The coon, when dislodged
from his hiding place in the top of a
tall sapling, lighted almost on the
major, and the dogs killed him at his
feet. Within the week a good many
tables will be ornamented with pos
sum meat, and, when cooked right,
Major Izlar is authority for saying
that it is the sweetest meat that ever
graced a spit.

We had exceptionally warm wealth
er up to Sunday afternoon. When the
daily papers reached us then we OBJ
served from the weather reports that
decided change would occur within
the next thirty-six hours. Before
twenty-four CT the thirty-six hours
had expired the change had taken
place and it was almost like "a wolf
on the fold Nearly everybody was
complaining of the heat when sudden
ly a gust of wind as if it were laden
ed with icebergs told of the change
in temperature. We were once wont
to believe that the wind bloweth
where it listeth, and thou heareth the
sound thereof, but canst not tell
whence it cometh, and whittier it
goeth, but those weather bureau
fellows seem to be keeping up pretty
we'll with it now and those who dis
obey their signal warnings do it to
their hurt The change in the wealth
er arrived Sunday at least on
schedule time.
