traction for him.
Upon the day that he felt that
money would cure a great proportion
of his ills, Hall was realizing how
slow was the process in his present
environment towards attaining a
competence. Unknowingly, the vague
thought of being able to ask Nellie
to become his life partner had a Ger
tain place in his aspirations.
eff the farm were only free of
debt" he reflected eff that money
had only materialized!"
He was greeted at the farm by
Nellie in her usual bright sympathetic
mood. He stayed to supper. AS
usual he gave to little big-eyed, visit
full Lois, the few pennies he never be-
grudged her.

chided Nellie gently, as the little one
scampered away.

antly.
Because she seems to lose them
all. 1t is strange, but she never asks
to go to the village and buy sweet
meats, like ordinary children. The
pennies always disappear mysterious
ly and she never tells where they go
to-"
Perhaps she has a secret boarding
placer" suggested Hal, with a smile.
The aIusion caused Nellie to be-
come thoughtful and serious. It sug-
gested some of the misery ways of
Mr.. Eastman towards the last years
of his life. The old man had once
had a visit from burglars. They got
nothing, but the circumstance had
made him fearful and suspicious.
After that event he had hidden money

Nellie had found few coins in an old
tin pot in the garnet, after his death.

According to the lawyer of the es-
tate, because of the documents Hal
had received from his father, what
ever Eastman had left would first be
applied toward the payment of the
Sturges debt.
Nellie could not but hope that this
unselfsh new friend of hers would
finally receive some benefit from the
estate. She now even spoke of divid-
ing with him her little earnings from
the farm produce.

SANTA ROSA WANTS
AMOS FOR COMPTROLLER
: e>~>>>>>~>>>>>>><
(Santa Rosa Gazette-)

While the 1916 campaign is some
time in the future, it is not so far
distant but that the people of the
state have been casting about for
competent men for the various posi-
tions to be filled at that time! In this
connection We but voice the senti-
ments of practically every voter in
Santa Rosa county, as well as many
others throughout the state, when we
advance the name of Hon. E. Z.
Amos, as the logical candidate for
comptroller of the currency. Mr.
Amos is a native Santa Rosian, born
in Milton, among whose people he has
grown to manhood, and by whom he
has been called to positions OF trust
and honor, only to demonstrate by his
integrity, ability and devotion to duty
that he was worthy of greater re-
sponsibilities.
He was early admitted to the bar
and built up a successful law practice
in his native town. Milton, later was
called by the people of his county to
serve as their legislator, where his
splendid work won for him statewide
recognition, which had its fruition in
his being chosen to the reSpOnSi bic
position of state auditor some ten
years ago. This position he has filled
in so able a manner that he is now
being urged by his friends throughout
the state to enter the race for comp
troller. While he is undecided as yet
whether he will enter the race or not
the voters of Santa Rosa county as
unit will insist upon him becoming
the standard bearer for this position.
Realizing that he has not only the
mental ability requisite for successful
ly filling the position but that his
years of service state auditor have
given him exactly the training to take
charge OF the states finances.

Notwithstanding the mental stress
relative to the conditions induced by
the European war, and the local inter-
est in the political situation, it should
not be forgotten that the business of

that the daily round of duties and ac-
tivities have the same, If not greater

conditions at home and abroad that
are giving color to life at this time.
Never before since it's inception has
the annual agricultural fair assumed
such Importance as 1t does now, in

turbulence in European centres. Never
before In the history of Florida, ex-

pursuits were of so much value and
of such paramount importance. No

of our produce, but the world is look
