Progressive Spirit

The citizens of Punta Gorda and
vicinity are imbued with the pro
grssive spirit, which is shown by
their determination to share in the
benefits to be derived from proper
connection with the great high
way system being planned, They
have shown a willingness to CO.
operate in the plan to secure to
themselves the great benefits that
are to be derived from such con
Inection, and this cooperation VIII
soon result in the establishment
of a worthwhile road that will
link Lee and De Soto county to-
gether in a way that will insure re-
coginition. This is the proper spirit
and is what was to have been ex-
pected of the citizens referred to,
who have always shown progress
siveness. The building of the road
pledged, which will lead south
east form Punta Gorda, instead OF
Arcadia, connecting with the Lee
county north Of the river and
crossing at Olga, thence to Fort
Myers, and connecting there with
the other roads now being built
or contemplated, will eventually
result in a system that will be far
Ith6r reaching than perhaps many
now imagine. Few things are OF
more Importance than road-bulld-
ing, if indeed there are any and
the cooperation and progressive,
ness shown is cause for congratu-
lation.-Fort Myers Press.

A False Report Denied

IL w. Smith wishes to announce
to the public that J. W. Stanley is
not connected with him IN the
Bakery any more and has not been
for two weeks.
Working in the heated bake
shop caused him to break out with
priclsly heat, and some one seeing
it reported it that he had pella-
|gra.
From that it was spread broad
cast about the town and the
whole surrounding country that
Smith had baker working for
him who has pellagra; and, If we
had all had small pox, yellow few
er and the measles, it could not
have hurt our business any more.
This false report has ruined my
business that cannot be estimated
lin dollars and cents.
Since Stanley went back to the
country and is out in the air, ms
skin is all cleared up and he has
mo more prickly heat
Pellagra is not cured in a day.
neither is the false report OF It's
existence lived down in so short
a time.
j. w. Stanley was examined by
1.-TWO doctors in Punta Gorda who
said he did not have pellagra. Or.
ISimmonds of Arcadia, said ne did
mot have it. He was also examln-
led by two doctors in Levy county,
who said he did not have pellagra,
j We feel like this report was
Ispread to iniure our business, and
we hope that this positive state
ment will have weight with the
better class of citizens and that
they will continue to patronize me
as before.
Ny bakery is always open tc
visitors and will be glad to have
them come and inspect my place
at any time. | have been in bust
ness in this town for thirteen
wears and have never had any
thing to hurt me so bad as this
false report.
Respectfully,
