Since her adventure in the fire
which completely destroyed three hand

were through,
and we went visiting, me and you,"

Where the hammering "red-heads"

And the buzzard raised" in the

And lolled and circled as we went by
Out to Old Aunt Mary's.
And then in the dust OF the road
again;
And the teams we met. and the coun-

And the long highway, with sunshine
spread
AS thick as butter on country bread,
Our cares behind, and our hearts
ahead

Why, / see her now in the open door,
Where the little gourds grew up the
sides and DER.
The clapboard rooml-and her face.
ah me!
Wasn't it good for boy to see
And wasn't 1t good for a boy to be
Out to Old Aunt Mary's?
And, o my brother, so far away,
This is to tell you she waits today
To welcome us-Aunt Mary fell
Asleep this morning, whispering, Tell
The boys to come" And all is we'll

OF PENSACOLA,

The Camp Fire movement has grown
wonderfully since its inception and
under the direction of Miss Daisy
Spencer the Camp Fire Girls and their

Miss Leila Abercrombie is leader; The

During the winter months the girls
have been so engrossed with studies
that they have not done quite as much
work as they expect to accomplish.

many meetings of the Camp Fire Girls
this summer, and the outdoor life will
do them a world of good, after the
years study.

IBERIA MEETING.

The meeting at iberia to APP
prove the course of Senator S
Ransdell and Thornton on the
g Igar schedule was largely at
tended.
We are of the opinion that
the meeting was i'll advised and
accomplished nothing. At best,
it was but counter to the Rus
ton meeting. The voterSof this
State entertain widely different
views on this subject. These
views have never been crystal
lied into definite expires sion, nor
can they be, as long as the pri-
mary system is in vogue.
1t is not possible under pri-
mary to pledge a candidate to
any fixed policy nor can the views
of a majority be ascertained.
A public Official has only his
conscience to guide, him, hence
it is hardly worth while for a
partizan faction to meet, rcsO-
lutte, denOunce, or approve his
position on any matter.
No man can say how the voters
of the State stand on the sugar
schedule of the tariff bill. 1t is
matter of opinion. The near
estexpression on the subject was
the vote cast for Broussard. Not
withstanding his abject devotion
to the cause Of high tariff on
5 Igar, he was elected. The men
who voted for him knew that he
would sacrifice everything for
Tins interest. Resolutions at
this time, criticising Ransdell
and Thornton will not be received
with much weight. Nor will the
action of a faction, approving
their course carry conviction.
Under the present system the
issues are not susceptible of proof,
SO let us keep cool and await
results. We may, some day,
know how the people stand. Even
then we may find that we are
wrong.

The citizens of the United

There is q lull in the discussion
of the State bond issue. Gov
ernor Hall has not yet announced
any dilinite plan for taking care
of the States obligations which
mature carly next year. With
present financial conditions there
appears but small chance to sell
the bonds authorized to retire
the eleven millions outstanding.
The fact that there is but short
time remaining in VIII ich to call
a constitutional convention in
dicates that Governor Hall will
take the chance of making tempo
rary arrangements with the
banks to meet the States in
