A FLORIDA WINTER DAY

This is the kind of day that makes
us glad we live in Florida, for here
and now we have the true winter,
clear, crisp and bracing, the atmos-
phere tonic, outdoor work and sport
a delight and the weather just cool
enough to justify fire indoors for
the thin blooded and the invalid.
No shroud of frozen snow envelopes
the corpse of the poor, dead, shrunk-
en- world outside; no depressing
thought of stock eating their heads
off during the long, dreary months
of unproductive winter on the farm
and consuming the profits of the
summers TOLL no red-hot stove
working overtime day and night in
home and store, devouring costly
coal for months on a stretch, with
grouchy mortals gathered about it,
weary of the winter and yearning
for the springtime that seems a Gen.
fury away; no billiards. with their
CHASTITY toll of people caught in them
and frozen to death; no showed in
trains with resulting coal and food
famines in the towns and cities.
We miss all these, and in their
place we gather our strawberries and
pick our oranges and grapefruit and
pillow our mellow soil in preparation
for the crops that so rapidly succeed
each other, Gull our roses and in
many other ways get the best out OF
life while we feel gentle commits
Grafton for the luckless denizens of
fierce chimes and mild wonder that
they will abide therein when the
lord has been good enough to place
Florida in easy reach.

w. G.. Nixon, the president of the
St. Louis and San Francisco Rail
way, is SIS years old and has been
employed in railroad work for thir-
ty-five years. He started in with
the Santa Fe as Waterman in 1878.
When he left 1t in 1906 to become
vice president and general manager
of the Frisco, he had risen to be Sec
ond vice president and general man
ager of the larger system. One of
Mr.. Nixon's notable performances
with the Frisco has been an increase
in the revenue trainload from PA
tons in 1906 to 255 tons in 1912,
accomplished in spite of the fact that
the road did not have with which
to extensively reduce grade or buy
more powerful locomotives.

The Ocala Banner says that Thomas
Edison is not only great man in
the realms of discovery but possesses
a wonderful mind in other directions.
In proof of this the Banner cites Mr..
Edison's recently expressed opinion
that law is no longer justice as ap,
piled by OUR courts but merely a
mass of formulas and technicalities.
If Mr.. Edison relied On that discov-
cry to make him a wonderful man
he would find himself in so much
company that wonderful men would
be the most plentiful commodity in
the country. The woods are full of
them, Bro. Harris, and, without be-
ing exact as to dates, we think we
made this discovery about our courts
and publicly announced it while Mr.
Edison was yet unknown to fame and
before the phonograph or the Edison
light were born.

himself and his hired man. that his wagon with
a double load does not get out of repair much

ARE THEY IN EARNEST7

Many citizens are asking the above question
concerning the attitude of the city commissioners
the street paving matter. For about two years
this matter has been under consideration and the
business men had hopes that the present admins.
tration would add a monument their fame through
the paving of the streets in the business district,
but now that the time for action is here the reply
is that there cannot be any street paving because
the governor vetoed the recent paving BILL where
by II would have been mandatory for property
owners in paving districts to pay for the street in
tersections. AS II Is the property owners pay for
the abuting frontage, and the people at large ~
lie for the intersections. In other words the com
mssoners say that the city cannot pay for Its in
tersections and while the property owners are
willing pay for abuttng frontage Logan City
must forego this Improvement because the city can
not pay its share Poor Logan What sad com.

to check up and what is the matter. We 90
know how the situation appears to the peop'e
it appears to that nearly enough money has
been spent, or will have been spent by he time
the two years of the present administration are
up, in raising salaries and creating offices, to have
almost paid for these intersections. We have just
figured out in a few moments wherein $4,000 of the
peoples money has been, is being handled in
this way, that is if our figures are correct and we
shall submit them later for verifcation, or correc

LEARN TO LAUGH

Learn to Taught is the slogan that has been
spread through the ranks of employees of one Of
the big western railroads. A statement issued to
all employees is what is termed a "cheerfulness"
campaign and says: "A good laugh is better than
medicine. Learn how to tell story Learn how
to keep your troubles to yourself. The world IS
too busy to for your ills and troubles Learn
hide your pains and aches under pleasant smiles
Meet everyone with a smile. A good humored man

WOMAM'S EMANCIPATION

Woman's emancipation is not to be gained by setting fire 10 buildings or assalting public men. It is heie, already this country, but 1t has not attained to it's in- evitable fullness. It was brought about by the force of ideas.
 Every great reform, every great effort for humanity, has always behind it the convictions, the de- votion, the self-sacrificing, pre- sistent labor of one dauntless spirit and the United States found this in Mary Lyon, who, in spite of sneers and scoffs, rid icule, reproduction and o hloquY fought on without regard to her self until she establithad the first college for women on this continent at Mount Holyoke.
 This was the real beginaing of woman's emancipation and from this source has sprung every thing else that has come to her since. and from this beginning will spring everything that is 10 come to her in the future.
