Notice to Ice Consumers.

On account of the confusion and
heavy loss incurred by our deliverymen
In supplying ice TO our patrons, on
promise 10 pay tomorrow, or next
week." we are compelled to require our
deliverymen to obtain a payment, either
cash or coupon, for each and every de-
livery of ice, and also TO collect cash for
all coupon books sold, at the time OF
sale.
We have had so much trouble through
our drivers being requested to leave
small amounts of ice without payment,
that we are obliged to take this out OF
their hands, and if they do give credit,
they will be held personally responsible
for such amounts.
We will have an inspector OF routes
accompany each wagon from time to
time, and shall be glad TO have any com
plants made 10 him, or the office,
direct.
We are anxious TO give our patrons
the best possible service and will ap-
preciate any reports of any troubles
which may occur.

gineer These bridges were constructed
under the joint supervision OF the ooard
of county commissioners, the board OF
bond trustees and R. F. Ensey, engineer.
The first road contract for tine Spring
side road, known as Emerson contract,
was entered into jointly by the Board OF
county commissioners and The Board OF
bond trustees-R. F. Ensey, engineer.
The construction of this road was I'M
der the Joint supervision of the board OF
county commissioners, the board OF
bond trustees and r. F. Ensey, engineer.
AT this time, the type of road TO be con.
structed, was decided upon by the board
of county commissioners. The govern.
meut exhibition. road was constructed
under the direct supervision OF Mr. u;
II. Winslow, government expert ROAD
builder. His formula was adopted toI
future roads.
The successive road contracts were
entered into jointly by the board Of
county commissioners and the board oil
bond trustees. r. F. EnSey, engineer,
succeeded by C. F. Canova, engineer
Every act of either or both bodies, was
ratified by the board of county com
missioners. The active work OF the
board of bond trustees was here ended
They still control the destiny OF The
trust, subject to the will OF the people
Ii is safe to predict that the financia
problem is safeguarded.
The fact that the bond trustees were
able TO accumulate during the time th'
bond moneys were on deposit, the sun
of SIS, 1876. A earned interest, renders tht
future financial problem much simpler
Furthermore, il enabled the bond trus
tees to pass over from this fund TO thu
construction OF the Seville-Como road
the sum of S2,b2S,76, otherwise all o
this road could not have been con
Structed.
1t may be we'll to state that latera
drainage was recommended by Mr., L
H. Winslow and Engineer K: +. EnScy
and that until this system OF drainage !
carried out the result of road construe
ton will prove unsatisfactory.
We also call attention to the report c
Mr.. Henry ]. Langlois, United State
Highway Engineer, on March dh' l9l-
for further information relative TO prope
treatment and care of our roads.

In an able editorial on the prankS OF
the primary, Editor ]. H. Reese of the
Kissimmee Gazette, makes the following
among other interesting comment:
1.-The greatest fault TO be found with
the primary plan, perhaps, though It's
faults are numerous, is the expense nee
essary 10 conduct campaign under ii.
The filing of an expense account serves
a salutary end by causing candidate to
keep within his own limits; on the
other hand, if he has the money he is
going to spend as long as he has it, 1t
is the game of gambler; the last sou
will go if necessary to gain the desired
prize. Money is not the end sought; il
is the position, the power, the vainglory
for which money is battered willingly
apon the shecrest margin of hope. The
primary makes ii necessary TO spend
money, but there is a ray of light
through the darksome clouds about the
system: those candidates who were
nominated spent less money than those
who were defeated Park TrammelI
sDent less than any of his competitors
ior governor; in the Third district Sena
lor Flournoy spent more than either, OF
bOln, Oh MS COIlpCti'Olo, anu ~ VI"
even enter the second primary; Hilburn
spent more than Clark did in the Sec
ond, and Toomer spent more than
L'Englc in the race for congressman al
large. g.
"Ifthere be lesson in the recent pri
maries, il is here that we find it, All
spent more than they wanted TO spend
all spent more than they were able tC
spend, and all spent more than they
should have spent; at the same time
money was not the controlling factor
and men must look further, too, thar
factionalism TO find the solution for the
pranks OF the primary.

ceived about the same vote that Mr.
Watson, conservative, received; Mr.

"But God hath revealed them unto

you Hdtu ICNGdlCu
us by His Spirit" Cor. 2:10.
Eye, ear, Imagination, the most vi.
yid, cannot discern the rich provi-
sions of God for those that love Him.
Look as we may, listen as we may,
fancy as we may, enjoy as we may,
there is still an inexperienced reserve
of grace and goodness which God
has ready for US. We cannot sense
ii with our faculties, nor measure it
by our capacities. Well, what them
Shall we sink back into an indolent
agnoSticiSm? No! We cannot dis.
cover and make out the mercy and
mind of God ourselves, unaided.
But where even the wings of Fancy
fail, there is a power that reaches
down TO tell 10 human spirits these
undiscernable things that God has
made ready for them that love Him
Our text today is the adversative of
that of last week, though it is a part
Of it. 1t expresses the counterpart OF
our inability TO find out the goodness
immeaSurable. We cannot see, hear
or imagine these good things, but
God hath revealed Il e n unto US by
His Spirit" The Spirit reveals our
sin TO US. He reveals Christs right
eousnesS TO us. He discloses the
judgment that falls upon sin, and
that cannot fall upon righteousness.
He discovers TO us the motive for
lorsaking sin aud fleeing unto right
eouSness. He reveals in us reborn
life He makes us know that that
life must progress till it comes up TO
the fulneSs of the measure of the
stature OF Christ, and until it knows
even as it is known.

gresham at large, is now in financial

In a special dispatch TO his paper, the
Pensacola Journal, Col. Frank L. MayeS
one of Florda'S delegates at the Balti-
more convention, says: THE proceed
ings of the Democratic convention this
week offer the most conclusive reasons
why national conventions should be
abolished and candidates be nominated
in primary. They call national con
venton a deiberative assembly. 1t is
nothing of the kind-it is mob. Not
one-tenth of this convention has, al any
lime, been able 10 hear what was going
on or TO understand it." What Mr.
Maves states regarding the inability of a
large proportion of the delegates to hear
or understand when they do hear is true,
but when he says the convention is not
deliberative assembly, we must be per
mitted to dissent. If our memory serves
lis the gentleman from Nebraska made
it necessary for the convention to dc

many of the delegates desired. Mr.
