PUBLIC RETRACTION
ENDS A LIBEL SUIT

The following retractlon having ap-
peared in the Slatington Star, of
this week, the libel suit of Governor
Tener against the editor, has been
dropped:
Tener's Administration.
Although Governor Tener has been
in Office less than two months, he has
already given ample evidence that
the interests of the commonwealth
are in safe and capable hands. His
inaugural was pervaded with a spirit
of high ideals and expressed his
steadfast purpose to remain true to
the trust which the people had re-
posed in him. His suggestions to the
Legislature show him to be careful
and conservative in the expenditure
of the public funds. We believe that
he will be very jealous of the good
name of his administration and that
his endeavor will be to serve the peo-
pie we'll.
Entertaining these views, and they
are the result of our observations
since the Governor has taken office
we sincerely regret that in our issue
of November 8, last, we used Ian.
guage which was not only uncompli'
mentary, but very unjust to him. II
was written and published in the heal
of political campaign and followed
the too common practices of attack
ing the candidate of the opposing po
litical party without due regard tt
his worth. We cannot claim tha
there are any facts, without know
ledge, which warranted the use O.
the words. We, therefore, nov
make Acknowledgement of matter
of common justice, that a wrong wal
committed when in the issue referr
ed to we applied an unseemly epithe
to the Governor. 1t is due to hin
that this public reparation should b,
made and we have thought it tn,
manly thing to make it.

TYLER HILL.
ial to TIE CITIZEN

pptCldl W LIE VI
TYLER HILL, Pa, March IL
On Friday evening last, company
of between fifty and sixty farmers
assembled at the Tyler Hill school
house to hear the relative merits of
the Dairymen's League and the
Grange discussed. Mr.. Vail, Mont
gomery, N. Y, who is travelling in
the interest of the League, explained
the method of its organization, it's
history, it's object, and it's workings.
The idea originated in a Grange of
Orange county in 1906. At first a
temporary organization was formed
until enough farmers joined to rep
resent $4,000 cows, when a perma-
nent organization was founded. At
present $4,000 cows are represented.
The hope now is to secure a repre-
sentation of 100000 COWS, for which
objects the League has six men on
the road. After Mr.. Vail spoke,
Thomas Jackson acted as secretary
in the absence of Porter Ross, the
secretary of the local branch, and
secured enough names to represent
SO more cows.
Mr.. Vail had to leave in order to
get a night train and NJ. G.. Noble

meeting was arranged for Saturday
evening, March IS. Everyone is

John extends $50 miles farther south
where it has it's source in Lake Win
der.
We only made one stop between
Blue Springs Landing and Sanford.
This was at Fort Florida, fishing
station. AS the boat approached the
net, which was stretched across the
river, was taken up but Immediately
after the boat passed it was stretched
across again, Fastening to get a big
catch while the fish were stirred up
by the passing of the boat. There
was great wire box on the dock.
This Is called trap" in which the
fish are placed and let down into the
water where they are kept alive until
they are ready to send them into
market.
We reached Sanford dock about
half past twelve o'clock. After eat
ing a hasty lunch we boarded a gaso-
line car and were soon on our way
to the great celery gardens. On our
way out we caught glimpse of Lake
Jessup, lake two and one-half miles
wide and four miles long, around
which are many beautiful homes. In
this lake they have caught black bass
weighing twelve pounds.
Land For $50 An Acre.
We passed through a mile of palm
hammock lands. These lands are
selling for $50 per acre and some
poor mortals will be deluded into
buying them thinking he is getting
them cheap when it will cost him
| $400 an acre to get cleared and
ready for cultivation. Soon we
reached the gardens-acres of cab
bage, tomatoes, beans, corn, potatoes,
ETC., but the great sight was the cell
ery-miles of it. Last year they
shipped 5000 car loads of it, eight
carloads going as far north as Alas
ka. A gentleman on the car told us
that one farmer this year sold eleven
acres of celery and lettuce for SILL
! 600. This was sold in the field and
crates furnished They have the ad-
vantage in this climate because they
can raise more than one crop in a
year.
In some sections these lands have
flowing wells, 1926 feet deep, by
which they irrigate the land. The
tiling is so arranged that it can fur
nish drainage also. One acre will
irrigate five acres.
After an hours ride through this
interesting section we found Oursel-
YES back in the city of Sanford with
few minutes to spare before train
time. This time was used n looking
up postals that illustrated our triI
which we wish you might see as you
read this letter.
The Deserted Everglades.
While on board the train for home
we met a gentleman who was one Of
a party who, with guide, had driv
en- all the way through the Ever
glades. For seventy-five miles of the
way they never saw human habita
tion or met a human being except {
few wild Indians. He related some
thrilling experiences which we woulC
Ike to give to you but time forbids.
We will close by saying that oul
whole party voted the day the mos
pleasant and profitable one we haC
spent in Florida.

He contended that corporation should
lie bound by fewer restrictions than at

the only one that could build up bust
ness in the archipelago.
