success as they did with the" vii.

be an added attraction which
the last play was not fortunate
enough to have.
The Orchestra. which is com

der the able leadership of Mr..
Behnke.
The singing teacher. Mrs.

be very good, judging by the
musical talent most of the girls
have. The public will soon have
a chance TO judge this chorus

Surely no further dissention
should arise among our people
through the merger question.
The battle of the ballots so far
as st. Johns is concerned has
been terminated and the result
is a matter of general knowl.
edge. A number of business
men of the city have asked the
opinion of the legal department
of Portland, and Attorney La
Roche. IL seems, has decided that
everything is regular so far.
The mergerites are apparently
most confident that the law has
been fully complied with and ex.
press no fear concerning the re-
suit of any legal suit that might
be instituted. So there Is no
reason whatever for anyone to
become embittered one with an.
other over the matter. We un-
derstand that IL was not the pur-
pose of the business men TO
thwart the will of the people,
but 10 be assured that no legal
complications would arise after
merger had taken place. Coun-
Gilman Tallman. nc the council
meeting Tuesday evening. touch
ed the keynote of the situation
when he declared that we are
all neighbors and friends and he
hated TO hear the word enemy
used i'm connection with any Of
us. This was a broad and char
liable view TO take. and should
find a responsive chord in the
breasts of all. IL had been said
that some of the more radical
mergerites advocated the remoy-
al of certain appointiye officers
of the city because of activity
shown in the interest of the an
ti-merger movement. This would
seem like an ungracious and un-
charitable thing 10 do. and il is
most pleasing to note that the
city council is disposed 10 look
unfavorably upon such a propo-
sition. Surely these appointive
officers deserve no punishment
for following the dictates of
their convictions. IL is a God !
given freeman's right. The on.
ly question 10 be considered is |
whether or not they are giving |
satisfactory and efficient service. |
If so, surely they are entitled To |
serve out the two months re- /
manning before merging can take |
place. ITO the victors belong |
the spoils." is an old saying that
was much in vogue when might
ruled rather than right. But in
these enlightened times people
are guided 10y a spirit of justice,
fair play and magnanimity.
Certainly discharge of appoint.
i've officers for no other reason
than expressing their convic.
tions on a subject that all were
more or less interested i'm would |
have a tendency TO widen the |
breach rather than aid in ce-
menting good fellowship. SO il
is pleasing to note that the city
council has not taken such a
drastic step, and are disposed TO
be broad minded and magnani-
nous, even though some of them
may feel annoyed by the legal
question that had arisen.

CITIZENS ENTHUSIASTIC
Over Prospects of Getting Road ia
Connect With Dixie Highway
Committee at Work

Since the late meeting of citi-
zens in the Board of Trade rooms,
when the matter of a branch high
way to connect with the Dixie
Highway and put Punta Gorda
and Fort Myers in touch by direct
connection with that great nation
al thoroughfare as proposed was
discussed, the prospects for the
two chief tourist towns of this
southwest coast section of south
ern Florida getting on the map in
this particular has aroused no lit
tie interest.
The committee composed of A.
#. Dewey, A. w. Gilchrist, F. NJ
Cooper, A. B. Tucker and G. A..
Waltmire, which was appointed
at the citizens meeting, has been
active. Ex-Governor Gilchrist has
personally interviewed the COM
missioner of the Arcadia district
in the interest of connecting
stretch of road north of Fort Og-
den, and he with other members
of the committee conferred with
the commissioners of Lee county
on last Friday on matters involved
in the undertaking.
The plan that is being proceed
ed upon will call for the con-
struction of but a few miles of
road in addition to what is al
ready provided for under the bond
issue of the Punta Gorda special
road and bridge district, at least
in so far as this southern portion
of DeSoto county is concerned. 1t
is feasible plan and seems to
have the endorsement of all inter
ested parties. Commissioner Whit

HEARD IN PUNTA GORDA
How Bad Backs Have Been Made
Gtrong-Kidne Ills Corrected

All over Punta Gorda you hear
it. Doan's Kidney Pills are keep
ing up the good work. Punta
Gorda people are telling about it
telling of bad backs made sound
again. You can believe the testi-
mony OF your own townspeOple.
They tell it for the benefit of you
who are suffering. If your back
aches, if you feel lame, sore and
miserable, if the kidneys act too
frequently, or passages are pain
full, scanty and off color, use
Doan's Kidney Pills, the remedy
that has helped so many of your
friends and neighbors. Follow
this Punta Gorda citizen s advice
and give Doan s a chance to do the
same for you.
Mrs. G. w. Bair, Punta Gorda,
says: "Doan's Kidney Pills have
been a family medicine with us
for years. My back had given me
lot of trouble and | had deep
seated pain across my kidneys.
just as soon as | started taking
Doan's Kidney Pills, | got relief.

them with equally good results. +"
