THE COURT PHARMACY CHANGES
HANDS

One of the most notable changes
in the mercantile circles recorded in
this city in some time was consumma-
ed Saturday when the Court Pharma-
cy was sold by. Mr.. Alfred Beck to
MIR. Emmett E. Robinson.
Mr. Beck took charge of this hand
some pharmacy FIVE years ago and
from the first day that he purchased
it until the day he parted with it he
has done a most remarkable trade.
There was a magic personality
about him that seemed by some sub
tile intuition to attract trade to him
and his place has been kind of head
quarters not only for the elite of the
city but for all classes and especially
for those who indulge the taste for
soft drinks, ice cream, sherbert, water
ices and their sweet concomitants.
Mr.. Beck has made himself ex
tremely popular with the young PEG
pie and he says that his trade has far
, exceeded his expectations and he de-
sires us to say that words but feebly
express his thanks for the more than
liberal patronage that has been given
| him.
Just what Mr.. Beck's future plans
will be he says that he has not yet
nut1inad for himseIf
Whatever fate marks out for hin
he will carry with him the good
wishes of this paper.
We hope that Mr.. Beck's successor
will be as financially successful as he
has been. Popular and possessing
pleasing and insinuating manners
there seems nothing in the way to
prevent it but everything to accele
lrate it,
Mr.. Robinson will use his utmost
efforts to please and not only hopes
to retain the Court Pharmacy s
present patronage but hopes to en-
large it. =
This paper hopes the new proprie
tor unbounded success.

FLORIDA INVESTMENTS

A news dispatch from Kissimmee
Fla, contains the following:
This city has experienced the great
est season in its history in entertain
ing winter visitors from all parts OF
the world, many of whom have been
so well pleased with this section that
they have purchased homes and will
remain during the summer Every
hotel and boarding house has been
filed for several months, and while
some visitors have only remained a
few DAYS others came into take their
places.
Many investments in orange groves
have been made and improvements IN
residential property have been con
tinued.
The same thing might be said OF
other cities and sections of Florida,
which is more prosperous now than
before in its history. Florida has
matchless climate that attracts when
relentless winter holds other sections
in it's grip. While enjoying balmy sun
shine, visitors come to know of great
material resources that Florida pos
sesses and make investments that
have helped to place Florida in the
forefront in the matter of develop
ment.
Many of these visitors build resi-
dences, some of them being modern
palaces, erected at enormous expense.
A notable example of this will be a
residence to be built at Miami at a
cost of a million dollars.-Columbus

their Easter egg hunt Saturday
afternoon at the home of Mrs. E. P.
Rentz on Fort King avenue. Quite
a number of the teachers of the Sun

to give the little folks the time of
their lives. Every little child had a
basket to gather Easter eggs in and
each was allowed to take the basket
and eggs home as souveniers. Games
were played on the lawn and fruit
punch and rabbit cakes were enjoyed
by the little folks.

|, PRAYER OF THE MAN IN THE
sTREET-(No. p

A fear, o Lord, is upon me; fear
that is getting more and more as
go even more busily engaged in az
fairs. I am afraid that / am becom-
ing merely money-maker.
Many things confirm this fear, and
make it a dread by day and by night
I see around me men who have be
come mere money-makers. Bit by bit,
thew have dwindled down to that low
estate, from fine ideals in their youth.
Now they are profit grinders. men
without vision, the mire closing over
and shutting them from the stars and
the sun and the sky. If these have
fallen away, could fall away also.
There are signs that l am thus fall
ing away. l don't care for some of
the things | once cared for. Poetry
and music, the singing of birds, the
peace of the sunrise hour, the burst
of springtime over the earth, great
books and the laughter of children
these don't interest me as once upon
time they did. l find myself going
after the pleasure that money can
buy.
It's bad condition to get into. I'm
in danger. A danger all the more
fearful because it creeps so stealth
lily.
Therefore l come to you, o God of
wonderful power. You are the I'M
seen helper You work in the inside
places. 1t is there | need help.
Come then, o God, and work quick
ly. Save me from being immersed in
the money struggle. Don't let me grow
sordid. Send back to me the ideal
isms of my boyLood. Teach me to
treat money as means to an end /;
and not permit it to become an end
in itself.
So l shall make life instead of a
living. My pleasures will be the end
that money cannot buy. And l will
glorify you for the victory Amen

Home Folk Pay a Tribute to South
Dakota's New senator.

Yankton, Nov. 9.-The citizens of
Yankton en- masse, regardless of par
tisan politics, assisted by many invit-
ed friends from over the state, did
honor Friday evening to Hon. K. S.
Johnson, elected to the United States
senate from South Dakota. An i'm
mense line of autos, led by the band
and marshaled by horsemen, paraded
the streets. The autos were decorat-
ed with large poster pictures of Mr..
Johnson and many bore banners with
appropriate notices. School children,
college boys, firemen in uniform and
other organizations joined the line of
march to the college hill residence of
the senator-elect, where Mr.. John
son and his family were escorted to
an automobile and conducted down
town to the bandstand occupied by
prominent citizens of the state. The
street scene was a dramatic spectacle
with fireworks and a ring of college
boys who gave successive impromptu
national yells.
Speeches were made by many.
Among them were numbered Ex-Sen-
ator Robert j. Gamble. Mr.. Johnson
in fitting words acknowledged the ap-
probation of his loyal supporters.
Following the address the crowd
came and went at Armory hall, where
Mr.. Johnson received the congratula-
lions of friends. Light refreshments
were dispensed.

miles west of Canova. A large
amount of stock has been sold and
delivered all along the line of the
proposed road and it is thought that
the surveying will have been COM
pleted before winter sets in. Epiph-
any has been a very strong trading
center for a number of years and al
though 1T has been handicapped by
not having a railroad it can soon
boast of IN of the finest school
buildings in the state. This building
will be modern in every respect and
the very best possible material and
workmanship is being put into 1t. 1t
will not be as large as some, but none
better. The estimated cost is placed
at over $4,000. The electric line
will be a godsend to the people of
Epiphany who have waited faithfully
for so many years.

UNAUTHORIZED SOLICITOR
Magazine Salesman Reaps a Harvest
in Day County.

Waubay, Nov. 9.-In August an
individual giving his name as Stew
art visited towns in Day county and
solicited subscriptions for a number
of prominent eastern publications. A
number of people paid him from 81
to So. Not receiving the publications
subscribed for through the supposed
agent, some of them wrote the east
ern publications. and nov have been
advised that the solicitor had no au-
thority to take subscriptions and col
lect money. The publisher of the
Etude, a musical publication of Phil
adelphia, denounces the solicitor as
a fraud and imposter. 1t is believed
he secured an aggregate of several
hundred dollars from residents OF
Day county alone and may have vic
timized residents of other counties in
the state.

BOY FIREBUG
Estherville, Ia, Boy Starts Fires to
Enjoy the Excitement.

E%stherville. Ia, Nov. 9.-The fire.
bug which for the past few weeks
has been terrorizing the citizens OF
Estherville by setting fires was
caught. Fire Marshal Ford Connolly
found a fashlight in the ruins of the
w. Il. Elliot barn which belonged to
vern Elliot. The lad vas taken from
mis- class at high school and taken to
the city fire hall, where he was ques-
toned by Fire Marshal Connolly and
City Councilman w. A. Beymer for
three hours, when ne confessed that
he was guilty. When asked his mo-
tive for such actions he remarked
that 1t was to go into the crowd and
hear them talk about the firebug.
When the Blazer barn burned young
Elliot was the one who claimed he
saw a man set it on fire and gave a
description OF him. and also accom-
panied the detectives and police in
their search for the mar answering
the description.
In the past two weeks Elliot has
ruined eleven barns and also pleaded
guilty to setting the handsome Meth
odist Episcopal church fire, besides

setting eight other barns which were
extinguished before any damage was
done. When asked if he was not
aware that he was apt to be shot, he
remarked: II knew where each
Waterman was located and worked
from the opposite side of the barn"
There vas a detective hiding with
in thirty feet of the Elliot barn, and
Mr.. Elliot was milkink his COW with
in ten feet of the structure when he
slipped in and started the fire In his
fathers barn. He then went into the
house to wait for the excitement. He
was always in the crowd at each fire
to enjoy his work. He is 16 years
old and was counted one of the
brightest boys in high school. His
parents are well to do people, owning
several hundred acres of Emmett
county's best land.
