ty canning agent, has received the
following letter from State Agent
Miss Harris:

| beg to advise that Wilson and
Toomer Fertilizer Co., of Jackson
Vile, Fla, has offered a prize of $50
to the county who has the greatest
percentage of all girls registered in
the Tomato clubs carrying their
work through and making a final re-
port. ! hope therefore that you will
use every effort to have every Girl

increasing the chances of your coun-
ty of winning this prize.
Your percentage will be based on
the list of club members enclosed in

Sensational stories about alliga-
tors, snakes and other pests in Flor
ida, circulated by jokers or by just
plain, cheerful liars, do the State
much harm, for all these tales are
swallowed eagerly by people up
North, who already have the idea
that this is land of swamps, tenn
ing with reptiles. For instance, a
few days ago several papers carried
a yarn about a young man being
killed by an alligator in the With
lacoochee river near Knights sta
ton. The fact that the name of the
young man could not be learned
and that no one has been reported
missing from that neiehborhood,
serves to cast very serious doubt
upon the story. Despite the popular
belief to the contrary, alligators
rarely or never attack human be-
ing, and stories of their doing so are
usually manufactured bypersons who
just naturally love to lie.

The editor of this paper has been
invited to attend the International
Congress of Mayors and Civic Lead
ers to be held in London beginning
July 20, and also to participate in
the International Urban Exposition
to be held in Lyons, France, under
the patronage of the French Repub-
lie. The only trouble about the
thing is that, though it is stated
the expense of the trip would be only
1875, no check for the amount ac-
companied the invitation. Inasmuch,
however, as some liberal-minded peo
pie were willing to lend money to
candidates whose chances Of being
among the elect were pretty vague,
we take it money is easy, and we
ought to be able to make a touch.
Come forward, we patriots, and as
sist us in learning how to save the

One of the greatest economic
movements that was ever inaugural
ed in the South is the organization
of the Girls Canning Clubs under
the auspices of the agricultural de-
partment. Carloads of canned
goods are shipped into this State ev-
cry year, while at certain seasons
carloads of choice fruits and vege-
tables so to waste because the low
prices TO be obtained do not justify
shipments to market. The girls
canning clubs bid fair to utilize
these waste products and make Flor
ida an exporter instead of an import
er of canned goods. If the move
ment goes no farther than to educate
the people to put up enough fresh
vegetables for family consumption it
will have proven Of enormous eco
nomical value.

Store and Dwelling Burned In
The Early Merging.

Last Sunday morning the store and
dwelling belonging to Mr.. Elmer E.
Buhrman at Foxville was destroyed by
fire.
As stated to US, Mr.. Buhrman had just
arose and was starting fire to prepare
breakfast. Owing to bad flue the fire
caught the woodwork of the building and
in few minutes the entire structure
was in flames.
Owing to the scarcity of water at this
time it was useless to try to save the
structure. With the help of neighbors
who came to his assistance Mr.. Ruhr-
man saved some goods from the store
and also some of his furniture.
Some insurance was carried but not
sufficient to cover the loss, which is esti-
mated in the neighborhood of one thous-
and dollars.
