Hon. C. H. B. Floyds latest contrbu,
ton to his Experience in the Legisla
ture," has TO do with the members from
Marion county-Preacher Rodgers and
Ray Bullock OF the former, among
other things he says:
There is the absolute masculine and
the absolute feminine. Preacher Rodg-
erS is pretty close 10 the absolute maSCu-
line. He is as masculine as the Rocky
Mountains, or huge Coal.burner engine
on the Pennsylvania Limited. He is not
afraid OF public opinion, or the devil, or
anything except God. He fears God
He is soaked with the old time religion
He has the Abraham variety. The soul
gets cold as well as the body gets cold.
Here in 1911 we live in the Siberia OF
Religion. The world now is chilly,
frozen. But fire steadily burns in
Preacher Rogers.
"Why, this man is a Patriarch! Think
OF Baptist preacher big enough 10 have
opinions different from the people in
the Baptist church. Why he was the
only one who voted against the so called
anti,race track bill! This thing, that
Gibralter did. This man Rodgers is a
man. He makes me think of England
and ASSyria and Niagara Falls and the
mid day sun and the Pacific Ocean and
the seven or eight stars that seem TO us
TO turn forever around Polaris."
Mr.. Floyd might also have stated that
Preacher Rodgers zeal for religion, or
something else, caused him to join the
forces of Pleas. Holt last year in the
fight for the perpetuity of the liquor
traffic in Florida.
OF Representative Ray Bullock, Mr..
Floyd says:
"The best part of T. Roosevelt comes
from the sort of stock that Ray Bullock
has in him, viz: the blue blood of the
south. That is what makes Teddy such
wonder TO the Thin, Stingy blooded
northernerS who never have enough

RurnIarious Crabs.

Sand crabs in the West Indies dur
ing the summer live in holes on the
seashore just above high tide mark, re-
firing into them during the day and
coming out at night. They have sin
gular habit in their nocturnal excur-
sions of entering houses, the doors Of
which in warm weather are usually
left open, and taking possession Of
small articles of clothing, such as col
lars, neckties and stockings, which
they effectually conceal in their holes

Predicts Close and Bitter Contest

The most interesting political fight OF
1912 will probably take place in the
Second Congressional district, where
Clark, Hilburn and MacWilliams will
contest for the honor. Clark has a
strong following, but it is very doubtful
if he can beat both Hilburn and Mac
Williams in the first primary, and in
this case the second will witness the
most bitter political fight in Florida in
recent years. The Broward Taliaferro
contest of 1910 will be only ten-cent
side shoM beside this contest.-DeLand

FROM COURT HOUSE TO
DWELLING
The Old Hall Of Justice Mt NOrridge-
wOck, Transformed Into a Home by
Carroll Staples.

The old court house at Norridge-
Wock which from 1920 to 1873 marked
NorridgeWock as the Shire town of
Somerset county has been transform
ed into a dwelling house. The house
is owned by Carroll Staples, a grocer
there. The original walls --e the
same as they were when built al
most a century ago, being of brick.
and on top of the brick walls has
been built a hip roof It makes a
unique home and Mr.. Staples feels
that he is living within the walls of
justice at all times.
The transformation of this build
ing into a dwelling house recalls to
many of the older citizens what 1t
meant to the town in years gone by.
Norridgewock then was considered
the chief point of the county and was
marked as being of considerable i'm
portance, it being the Shire town.
Then Norridgewock had about twice
the population lndI II now mas. Inc
story of its decline which was caused
by the removal of the Court house
to Skowhegan is interesting. The
story is that prior to 1873 Governor
Coburn wanted the steam railroad to
run from Norridgewock to Skowhe-
gan. The citizens of that town pro-
tested. Governor Coburn, it is said,
realizing that he could not, without
their consent, get the road through,
decided that SkoWhegan should be
the shire town. So in 1873 he pre-
scented to the county money to build
beautiful red brick court house in
Skowhegan, thus making Skowhegan
the county seat This move aroused
the citizens of Norridgewock and they
fought hard to save the change The
county Jail was not built at Skowhe-
gan until 1898. The Jail at Norridge-
wock WAS built in 1910. The Court
house which has been transformed
into a house, when originally built,
cost $4,000.

Manley Holt of Hinckley has a Hol-
stein four-year-old heifer that takes
the place of one of the curiosities of
the county. The heifer weighs about
1900 pounds and on one side of her
are natural markings in her color
showing distinctly the pictures of
three people. Up o. her shoulder is
the distinct picture of a negros head;
on her body is mans head showing
his body, and close to him full out
line of woman's head and shoulders
This heifer is a beauty but as yet
has never had calf and serves no
purpose excepting as pet and curl
