ADVE RTISlNG

There is really only one opinion
among business men relative to adj
vertising. Every one believes in it,
but the real difference of opinion
comes in when the matter is up of
whether this publicity shall be given
free gratis for nothing, by the news
papers, or whether the journals shall
be compensated for the expense and
allowed a living profit.
If the government were to run a
live newspaper and allow any firm
10 use it's advertising columns with
out cost to the individual or firm the
question would never be risen as to
whether or not anybody believed in
advertising. But as the government
is not in the newspaper business and
as the journalists have to eat and
wear clothes, it becomes necessary
to charge for advertising space and
hence many good men often think
they can get along without this SER
vice--that is they say so.

HON. GUS A. MORTON MAY EN-
TER SENATORIAL RACE

Among the prominent Levy county
citizens in the city Wednesday was
Gus A. Morton, the Williston trucker,
who was kept busy shaking hands
with his Alachua county friends.
While seated in the lobby of the
Borwn House Mr. Morton was asked
if he intends to be a candidate for
the state senate from Levy county
the coming year, to which query he
very cheerfully replied that he is IAN
awful good runner, but SO far he has
been a loser" He also volunteered
the information that Mr.. Sim Bitch,
son of the well-known railroad COM
missioner, and Mr.. Shelton Philips,
are candidates, or will be, but judg-
ing from the inquiries he is receiving
Mr. Morton will more than likely be
a candidate for the highest office
within the gift of the people of Levy
cunty.
In the event that Mr.. Morton enters
the race, he has secured the services
of Robert D. Medlin, Uncle Bob" as
campaign manager, which is assur
ance that the contest will be full of
ginger. "-Gainesville Sun.

A YOUNG LADY THROWN FROM
ONE AUTOMOBILE Is RUN
OVER BY ANOTHER

A special from Arcadia says that
on Sunday afternoon Miss Orva Wood
was thrown from the seat of one
automobile and run over by another
machine and was painfully injured.
The special says that Miss Ward
was riding with T. X. Dishong, a
local grocery proprietor. in his auto
mobile. He attempted to pass from
behind the car of w E. Daniel, a
broker, who was driving slowly along
Oak street the Dishong machine was
tilted sharply by a pile of crushed
rock on the side of the street and
Miss Ward was pitched in front of
the wheels of the other car, and run
over before it could be stopped. She
fell fat on her face and the car pass
ed over her back and shoulders.
Doctors Cline and McSwain, who at
tended her, say that unless there are
internal injuries she will be as well
as ever in a few days.

NOT so, BROTHER.

While the war feeling lasted in the
south the occurrence of the Gettys-
burg anniversary on the same day as
the national independence celebration
killed the enthusiasm of the southern
people for the latter anniversary;
hence it was little observed in the
south for some years.-Tampa Times.
The Times is off it's base in the
above remark. The battle Tor battles
we should say at Gettysburg occur
red on the first, second and third days
on July. We were present and took
a hand in the battle and know there
was no fighting at all on the fourth.
Both armies held the positions they
had occupied on the morning of the
second day and both were busily en-
gagged in burying the dead and sue
coring the wounded, which in the two
armies reached the fearful total of
forty thousand men. Otherwise the
day was as peaceful as a Sabbath day
at home.
The Times must have gotten Get
tysburg mixed with the surrender of
Vicksburg, which occurred July A.,
1868, the day after the battle of Get
tysburg ended.
But neither of these events, We
think, was responsible for the non
observance of the great national holt
day in the south for a long time after
the close of the war The horrors of
reconstruction" socalled, which were
enough to blot out every vestige of
national feeling in the south, were
responsible for that very natural re,
suit. We went through it all, suffer
ed and thought and felt with our peo-
pie, and know whreof we speak

of S.. 90 per COW, and the cattle were
nearly all the time on the Rhodes
grass"
Another writer says that even on
the Tween, in North Queensland,
where the paspalum grass grows so
luXuriantly in the summer months
that the cattle are unable to keep it
down, Rhodes grass is rapidly coming
into great favor with many of the
dairymen because it is known to
germ1nate so rapidly, especially, in
poor soil, or on elevated situations,
forest ridges, etc. 1t makes equally
as productive as paspalum grass in
the rich alluvial fats and volcanic
country. This writer further says
that, in the central dairying dis
tricts Of Queensland and the western
portion of New South Wales, where
the climate is dry, Rhodes grass is
proving equally. as great a boon to the
settlers as paspalum has to those in
the moist coastal country, and that,
without doubt, it will in a very short
while, when it's merits become more
widely known, prove one of the most
beneficial grasses yet introduced, as
it can be so easily cultivated over
such an immense area of land.
The cultivation of this grass is
most strongly recommended to stock
owners, especially to those residing in
countries subject to long periods OF
drought, and the results are assured
to be very gratifying.

THE INSPIRATION OF GENIUS

Genius work in different ways.
Some geniuses are off and on with
their work at any time while some
have to work as the spirit moves
them. Horace Greeley dubbed the
former "hack horses" and said that
while not so showey as fast trot-
tiers" they were more reliable.
William Allen White, of Emporia,
Kansas, belongs to the latter class.
He was to have been the chief speak
er at a meeting of insurgent republi-
cans at Colorado on July %, at Mont
rose.
The promoters of the gathering had
not figured on that something called
genius. Neither had William Allen
White when he promised to crate. 1t
took hold of the fair-haired Kansan
at Estes Park witout warning and
now he finds himself in the middle of
novel.

WHY A UNION DEPOT

Mr.. E. H. Mote a former citizen
of Ocala, now OF LeesDurg, writes
as follows: why a union depot
should be established at Leesburg. I"
The same argument will hold good
for the erection of union depot at
Ocala
Mr. Mote says:
The railroad commissioners of Flor
ida and the representatives of the
Seaboard Air Line railroad were in
Leesburg Friday and left the town
with the impression that the people
did not want union passenger sta
ton; of course if that sentiment does
prevail in Leesburg, | have nothing
more to say, but | think the matter
as indicated above, should have care
full consideration, and if the above
impression is erroneous and the peo-
pie of Leesburg are in favor of a
union passenger station at the pres
ent location of the Atlantic Coast
Line passenger station, the railroad
commissioners of Florida and the rep
resentatives Of the Atlantic Coast
Line and Seaboard Air Line rail
roads should be advised of that fact
in the very near future. AS l under
stand it, the citizens of Leesburg are
interested in doing that which is best
for the town, and will lay personal
interests aside in this matter and all
pull together for the upbuilding of
Leesburg and vicinity.
From the standpoint of advertise
ment alone, | believe there is nothing
we could do that would be a better
advertisement for our town than to
have it known that Leesburg has a
Union Passenger Station;" strang-
ers, upon learning this would immedi-
ately say that Leesburg must be a
prosperous, growing city to have a
union passenger station. Having
been in Leesburg for about thirty
SetA ., nave neal u II SdlQ TINE anu
time again that a union passenger
station is what we want, and now is
the OppOrtune time to let our wants
be known. If this opportunity passes
us and the Seaboard Air Line build
their passenger station near the old
site of the old depot, then the ques-
ton of a union passenger station for
Leesburg has been settled for an in
defnate period.
1t will not cost anything to petition
for a union passenger station. as
above indicated and from my view
point, it cannot possibly do any harm
in any way, shape or form. If you
want to go to Ocala or Jacksonville,
or many other points north or south,
if We had a union passenger station
here and were going on the u o'clock
train and the A. c. L. train should be
late, the S. A. L. train on time, you
could take the S. A. L. train without
having to transfer your baggage
across town, and parties coming in
on one road and wanting to go out on
another, could do the same thing.
