Within the short space OF a fort

This morning the state is saddened

The Streak of
Romance in Us.

Life is real--that's the truth: real,
30 real that it is Ike dry dust in the
throat. Even tho matter ot-fact. prac-
teal person has to cough once in q
while to escape choking.
But the streak OF romance is the
twilight dew which refreshes and
strengthens us for the on-coming sui
try day. which ever is awaiting US.
Few of US are so poor and unfor-
tunate as not to possess in some de-
gree of thickness or thinness the
streak Of romance, that faculty by
which We transmute dull brass into
pure gold, and so-thank goodness
remain blind to it's inevitable tarnish-
ing.
If ever it is going to show 1t will
show in youth.
Then for a while even the dullest
OF us sometimes strike divine fire from
the hard anvil of everyday existence.
AS a general thing, however, we
smash thumb while doing 1t. and
thereafter nurse the same su!ky and
resentful silence, steadily refusing TO
have another try.
Once in a while you run across a
poor soul who even in youth lacks the
streak of romance.
Love to him is a meteor of a more
or less inconvenient and expensive at
tachment. marriage a matter Of good
food and good housekeeping, benevo-
lence a cold matter of business and
labor a mere means of making a
living.
Yet the matter Of fact mortal pities
the romantic, the enthusiastic, the alb
sent minded Jack o-dreams who lives
awakenings, who raves today, to weep
tomorrow. who follows with headlong
footsteps the mill O. the wisp of hap
piness which dances before him,
always out of reach, over the hills and
holIows OF life.
But Jack dreams reaches heights
and touches depths which forever are
unknown sweet quantities to the mat
ter-of- fact mortal
The streak Of romance fades and
vanishes with most by middle age
vanquished by life and it's realities
and sad indeed and terribly monot-
onous is life thenceforward.
Whom the gods love, die young. 1t
is said-yes, mercifully die before life
has lost the beauty and sweet fra
FRANCE of that love which is the only
thing that makes it worth while.

Hon. 3. L McLin for number of
years past the Commissioner of Agri-
culture of the state of Florida, died
suddenly on last Wednesday night
and on the day following Mr.. John c.
Luning was appointed by Governor
Gilchrist to fill the vacancy.
Mr.. Luning is an old Albany boy.
and he has many friends amongst the
older residents of this city who will
be glad to hear Of his promotion. He
has been State House official for
eight or ten years past. For several
years he held the position of AS
sistant Agricultural Commissioner. but
for the past two or three years he
has been filling the responsible posi-
ton of secretary Of the trustee Of
the International Improvement Fund
of the state Of Florida. His appoint
ment to the Office of Commissioner of
Agriculture by the Governor is the
strongest testimonial that could be
given Of his faithTulness and efficiency
in the public service.
John Luning is man Of sterling
character and possesses to a degree
the faculty Of applying to the material

The Situation In General.

State politics are beginning to warm
Ut some. The solicitors job looks
like it is going to be some scrap it
self. There are now announced Hon.
Jno. ?. Stokes and Hon. Moreno Jones.
Eoth of them are high gentle
raen. and either would fill the Office
acceptably if elected. So the good
people can't elect d bad officer out of
this crowd of contestants.
The congressional fight looks as If
il might warm up some also. Hon.
Emmett Wilson of Pensacola, and Col.
W. w. Flournoy of DeFuniak Springs,
are in the race after Hon. Dannitte
H Mayes. All of these are fine and
honorable gentlemen, and either would
do his duty If elected.
The Gubernatorial race is still COM
ing on with a rush, and the four con-
testants seem to be neck andneck.
So far they are all fine men, and it
will be hard. yet awhile. to tell who
is who in this race.
The congressman at large race has
three contestants. and they all seem
to be very popular. but no doubt be-
fore long things will begin to get warm
in this race.-Milton Gazette.

would say that the aldermanic form
of government is all right when the
aldermen are all right, and so is the
commission form when the commits
