JOHN CORDES
Com. End Dist.

John Cordes, Democratic can
didate for County Commissioner
of the 2nd district is we'll known
to the people of Meade County.
John will receive the hearty sup
port of the voters of his Dist.
on Nov. 5th. Mr.. Cordes is a
Progressive Democrat. He has
lived in Meade county for nearly
twenty-eight years and knows
something of the hardships and
privations which the early set
tiers have undergone in laying
the foundation upon which the
prosperity of the county now
rests. He remained with Meade
county when times were hardest
and the future prospects looked
gloomiest. He is one of the
heaviest taxpayers in Odee
township. He believes in guard
ing against unnecessary bills
and IN keeping expenses as low
as good business judgment will
permit. If there is candidate
in the field any more deserving
of your vote, or any better quail
fed to fill the office he is seeking
than John Cordes, let him come
forward.

Geo A. Neeley for Congress
The man who does things
that will live in history.

Last Friday was another big
Democratic Day in Meade, and
enthusiasm was not lacking. To
the music of the Meade band the
crowd gathered at the opera
house where Hon. Thomas H.
Gresham, delivered very able
address. The county candidates
were present and helped make
the meeting success. A lack
of space prevents our going more
into detail regarding the after
Moons program, more than to
ay that it was a dandy and the
Democrats received additional
assurance of a sweeping Demo-
cratic victory on next Tuesday.

formance of the week.
 Miss Cleveland, the clever star of the company, is well fitted for the re- quirements of the leading role, and as she will have the support of the entire company, a strong and well balanced performance may be anticipated. The play will be handsomely staged, and the costumings and accessories will be in keeping with the high charac ter of the dramatic rendition of the play.
 Of course, the prices will remain as ever, 10 and 20 cents for the matinees, which will occur Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, and 20. 30 and 50 cents for the evening performances. Seats should always be secured wei in ad- vance, for the demand is exceptional, and it is difficult at times to get a seat in the big auditorium.
 Manager Isham is preparing a de- iightfuI surprise for his patrons, in che form of a new box office, which will be located inside the lobby, and which will not on be a tremendous improvement, but will add grea ,ly to he attractiveness of the entrance. The old box office will be replaced by another door, adding at least 50 per eent. to the facilities Of the house, and making it possible to empty the theatre, after a performance, ins de If one minute. The old ways were good enough for the old days, but now hat the Lyric has become the only nome in the city for the legitimate rama, Manager Isham is determined hat it shall SurpasS in beauty as well IS in merit of productions.

POLI'S

Real vaudeville-at Poh's only-in- atrsurates another great week on Monday, when a splendid bill of stel- lar metropolitan faVorites will be pre- sented at the popular local playhouse, and the theatre-goers will be assu- ed of another seven days of the finest entertainment.
 Features ga ore mark next weeks bill. and it would be hard to pick out the greatest favorite. Every variety of bright entertainment is to be found on the bill, which will fur uish that all around diversity which Is vaude- viIIe's greatest attraction.
 One of the feature acts will be pre- sented by Cook and LoTenz, the mil nonaire hoboes", two of the funniest tramp comedians on the stage today. Cook and Lorenz created such a furore in vaudeville that they were success fully starred for several seasons in musical comedy and everywhere creat- ed a great success Their humor is of the most contagious kind and no one can resist joining in the laughter at the comical antics and iudicrous sayings of this pair of hobo kings.
 Faithfully billed as the greatest animal act on the stage, Howard's Dogs and Ponies will be another of the great features of the weeks bill Towards ponies are famed as being the greatest equine performers ever gathered together and trained, in the worlds history, and their work is so extraordinary that 1t places the act far above the plan of the ordinary vaudeville animal act" The equine performers go through their work with apparent enjoyment and need no urg- ing from the trainer in performing the most difficult and intricate feats. The act is clean and is handsomely staged and will furnish a great attrac- tion throughout the week.
 Fresh from Metropolitan successes in their new act, ''The R ght Girl'', Mcconnell and Simpson will undoubt- ed1y score a big hit by their clever comedy work. The sketch is excep- tionally good and is full of opportuni- ties for "the big laughs, and Lulu Mcconnell and Grant Simpson are just the pair who know how to make the most of these opportunities. They have been seen here before in other acts and always have proved to be immense favorites
 The classiest musical act in vaude vile, "The Three White Kuhns", wi prove a positive riot. The Three White Kuhns" are three young fel- lows who have made a great name for thenseIves throughout all vaudeville dom by their great work in vocal and instrumental selections, and to their success is largely due the popu arity of the three men and a piano. act. Their offering is put over'' with the snap and ginger that makes for sue aazs- and they are always sure of as

Western drama is always pleas ing, especia ly when it is presented in first class manner, such as it is cer- tain to rave at the hands of the Car penter stock company. and as in the days of it's first presentations. it will be sure to meet with complete and decided success from the opening per

When the Florida East Coast Rail- road opened up its extension from Knights Key to Key West, Monday, the most remarkable piece of railroad engineering the world ever knew-that of laying track over bridges and is- lands 120 mi es out to sea-wtll have been completed and put in s-Rvice.
 This railroad has ordered number of swift car ferries for a service be- tween Key West and Havana, ninety miles across the Straits of Florida, so that by the end of this month there will be what is practically a single railroad, from Jacksonville, Flo ida, to Santiago de Cuba, at the far south eastern end of the is and of Cuba Soon the traveller can board the Pull man car in New York. If he reaches Key West at night asleep he will wake up in the morning still in his berth, to find his car standing in the sta tion of the United Havana Railways in Havana.
 And soon the refiner in Central Cuba can load a car with bulk sugar, unsacked, for delivery in Rocky Noun tain territory. The railroad to Key

 The building of the road has been a | tremendous task, and during the hur-
 ricane season, a dangerous one. Since
 February 6, 1908, the line has been | open to Knights Key, a dot of land eighteen miles out in the Gulf of Mex i ico.
 | After crossing a thirty-mile arm of ] the Everglades an embankment i built by dredges out to the blue mud i of the swamp, the railroad starts out
 on its voyage over a succession of coral rock keys separated by narrow
 straits of gulf water scarcely wider ! than creeks. Key Largo, twenty seven miles long, is crossed, and then l the road approaches Long Key; thence | out upon the largest viaduct of the route-two miles of reinforced con crete abutments and arches, ho' ding

 miles of bridge, in water thirty feet
 deep and very rough during storms, in addition to being constantly agitated by fierce tidal currents. Thence to Key West the road runs along the hacks of large islands separated by dep, but not wide channels.
