plain Talk, But True.

For the benefit of all who may take
heed, and with the hope that some good
may be accomplished, we publish the
following at the request of a subscriber !:
The mother who allows her daughter
to float around the town on foot, or in
boat auto or buggy, until late hour
with counterfeit sport of weak jaw
and weaker morals, merely opens the
front door TO grief and disgrace. IT
yUu don't know what company your
daughter keeps, or what time OF night
she turns in, your roar when the gos-
sips get busy will sound about as pa
thetic as the wheeze of a mouth-harp,
The girl who insists on spooning with
any thing that wears britches ought to
be taken back in the bedroom and re.
lleyed OF her overflow of affection with
good stout hickory switch laid vigor-
ously across her hiplets. We had rather
see girl kiss niger baby than have
her change partners six times week
in secluded place with the lights
turned low. 1t is harder to marry off
a girl that has been fondled and paved
over by every yap in the community
than it is TO fatten sheep on soda water.
You can't gold-brick sharp-eyed suitor
with secondhand goods. There are
lots of weak-minded parents who are
going up against the judgment some
day with about as much chance as a
cross-eyed girl in a beauty show, and
their children will rise up and call
them blessed with the enthusiasm of a
one-legged man at club dance. Learn
them to work, love good books and pre-
fer home to the dance hall or streets.

The Fort Pierce News tells of the
presentation of the Healing Of Naaman
by the members of the Cecilian chorus
of that city last week, the occasion
briuGing out the people of Fort Pierce
and neighboring sections ia large num-
bers. The choral work appears to have
been given in fine style and the entire
work reflected creeit upon the promcs
teas, directors and participants. An
orchestra composed entirely of local
talent furnished the Instrumental mus
ic, and the principal characters and
members of the chorus sang delight
fully. The occasion appears to have
been one of great pleasure for ali and
its success should lead to the formation
of similar societies 10 many cities, Civ

NeW System

at Your Beck and call
Assistant ScaUenger SerVice to
Keep Back Yards, Vacant
Lots, etc, Cleaned Up.

A new system OF cleaning uv has
been inaugurated by the city officials,
and it should prove effective and have
the hearty co operation Of every citi-
zen.
For some time the scavenger service
has been inadequate on account Of hav-
ing to handle the trash and refuge
from yards, vacant lots, etc. To help
relieve this condition the marshal has
been authorized TO put on another
wagon with another driver whose duty
it will be to remove all the accumula-
tion Of paper, tin cans, and other trash
from every available place 10 the city
and he is further authorized to charge
each indiyidcal benefited thereby at
the rate of ten cents per barrel for its
removal.
AHVtS 20 nv tuSooAon oub enio iuOle-
tion is needed and there is hardly
doubt that every citizer will be willing
to pay the small price for the hauling.
It will relieve the regular scavenger
service and this should be much better
in the future. Let everybody get busy
with the driver and heep him busy un-
til there viii. be nothing for him TO do.
Tue own needs cleaning up--not only
in the residence section but some of
the back doors Of the business hous's
could keep the wagons busy for whole

ter was passed over.
Inc other matter that of finishing
the paving work was uppermost ia the
the minds Of th1 councilmen and citi.
zeps, and when it was presented, the
question of funds to hnauce the work
was brought forth. This started a
general, persistent and rambling line
OF conversation. comment and questions
which after half an hour of more or less
interesting parliamentary (?) debate,
brought forth the information that
nearly all the property owners were
ready and anxious TO pay their share
OF the cost Immediately upon its com.
pletion without taking advantage of
the three year installment clause. It
further developed that the city's

some money on hand now. The freight
being the only Item of immediate nec-
essary cash. the bank agreed to take
care of that till next council meeting.
Mr.. Adams stated that he had ordered
five cars OF rock for himself and the
town could use that and give him five
cars later
So after everybody had relieved them
selves in the conversational line mo
tion was made and carried authorizing
the city clerk TO order twenty cars of
rock to continue the paving.

The special sub-district school tax
election was held in ST. Lucie County
Monday May 9Th to determine the
amount Of special tax to be levied and
to elect trustees 10 each district
In Fort Pierce the election was very
quiet and no great interest taken, only
forty -four votes being cast. The pres

follows: A. C. Dittmar q votes, E. Q.

with few scattering votes for Others.
The three mill tax received q MAJOR
