ords show that we can at least meas
ure up to an average.
Farming is being more and more
prosecuted along scientific lines. The
most modern and approved methods
are called into leGuis.tion and in con-
sequence the farm yield is becoming
greater and farming less a drudge
and more and more a pleasure.
Men of means are investing their
surplus earnings in farm lands and
farming bids fair soon to become one
of our most profitable industries.
Our advice to those who want to
better their fortunes is to investigate
conditions here and buy themselves a
home while lands are yet plentiful
and cheap, and they have such a large
area from which to male a selection.
Our health is good and our climate

water and they slowly settle to paddle
a short distance until some unaccus-
toned visitor startles them, when they
dive quickly to the bottom, bite on to
a reed to keep themselves under until
the danger is past, then come to the
surface and scuttle rapidly away into
the protecting shade of the thick
swamp.
The stranger sometimes surprises a
crane or a blue heron standing by an
ancient budding cypress stump. but
they quickly rise to the first alarm
and fly down stream trailing their
long legs behind them, and just
around the bend of the river he may
come upon the magain where they
have alighted on some naked guarded
limb that reaches out over the water.
For quite a distance, in among the
knOtty cypress roots, are seen the
flaming spikes of the wild saliva
bringing the waters edge is the rank
growth of the water hyacinth and out
Of its thick green leaves rise the pur-
pie stalks. The little white star-like
flowers of the water grass float on the
surface of the water and are met by
the delicate tendrils of the festooning
vines which hang like a thick curtain
from the lower limbs of the sweet
gum. In some places the growth of
the hyacinth is so rank that it almost
chokes the narrow river, but the cur
rent is sufficiently swift to break it's
way through, and detach separate
plants which float down stream like
little fairy islands. The picturesque
aspect of the log RATS that one is apt
to meet on the way down the Ottawa
ha to the st. Johns river is largely due
to these tiny detached gardens.
The long, snake-like RATS following
the bends of the river, the brown bark
of the logs just showing above the
water, are wreathed and garlanded
with hyacinths, until instead of de-
tracing from the beauty of the scene
they add greatly to it, and seem in
deed indispensable part of the picture.
ne presence of the RATS indicates
that the ST. Johns river is at hand and
that soon, all too soon, the mouth of
the Oklawaha will be reached and
the traveller will have to steam out
into the broader and less picturesque
river. With a heavy sigi. he leaves
all that weird beauty behind him, and
realizes that he is again back in the
everyday world.
However, with that realization

Courage is resistance to fear, mas,
terry of fear, not absence of fear. Ex-
cept a creature be part coward, it is
not compliment to say it is brave; it
is merely a loose misapplication of
the word. Consider the dea-incom-
parably the bravest of all the crea-
lures of God If ignorance, of fear were
courage. Whether you are asleep or
awake, he will attack you, caring
nothing for the fact that in bulk and
strength you are to him as are the
massed armies of the earth to a suck

night and all days and nights in the
very lap of peril and the immediate
presence of death and yet is no more
afraid than is the man who walks the
streets of a city that was threatened
by an earthquake ten centuries be

merchants wait until the last day before
they renew their licenses. On May 80
there was total Of "a licenses issued,
bringing in an approximate amount OF
S793.
This has been a good year for the Ii
censes. Altogether there have been issu-
ed Gas licenses, including traders licenses,
liquor licenses and the various other
kinds of licenses that are required. Alto
gether there has come into the Clerk S
Office total Of $r3,o5I from all these
sources which is considered to be some
what above the amount of last year.
From the corporation liquor licenses,
Frederick city received $500 and EN-
mitsburg received $3.50. Practically all
the merchants in the county have renew.
ed their licenses. Any who have failed
will be required to close their places o.
business for the coming year as the IL
censes are only issued during the month
Of May.
The liquor licenses brought in reve-
nue. of S2,3oo. The traders licenses
amounted to 1884. Hotels paid 81, 26c
while the other amounts are distributed
