Gladys Writes
To P. C.'S
prominent Citizens)

Dear Mr.. Council: want to men
ton to you that ! don't like the we"
,-or, the train of the lot back of the
ci,v Hall. l thought you might
know whom one should see about
having a nice, big sign put up there
70 hide the old iron and trash ana
then we could have a nice ADVERTISE
ment of Chero-Cola to look at IN
stead of that array of Junk.
There are a couple of little signs
along there now-cigarette signs
but YOU see they are just for men
and we could just as well have some
thing not only interesting but bene-
fetal for men, women and children
7 don't think cigarette sign ought
IN no mt where we girls can see 1t,
anyway. Suppose you are nice
lady-like girl that sings in the ehoir
and all that, and you have been
reared on the motto, DO 1t now,
and then you have to keep seeing
cigarette signs-not to mention
chewing tobacco signs.
am sure you will want to keep
temptation out of my way, as well
as to improve the view from the
train windows. Besides, you ought
to think of the comfort and pleasure
| that Chero-Cola is to people who
are travelling, especially these
warm days. So you would really be
doing the travelling public favor
if YOU could arrange for them to
have an occasional reminder of the
cooling and comforting effect of
bottle of Chero-Cola.
If you are too busy to look afte'
this. will be glad to write lettei
to whomever you think ! ought Il
in regard to this.
Very sincerely, your friend,
GLADYS.

Davy Crockett, who violates all
traditions connected with the name
he bears, by failing to be sure he is
right before going ahead, has anoth-
er article in today's paper in oppo-
sition to bonds, or rather in opposi-
ton to the material adopted for the
proposed system of good roads. This
article is simply printed in accord
ance with the kilograms principle
of giving everyone who thinks he
has something to say on this bond
proposition an opportunity to say it.
The article is unanswerable-be-
cause there is nothing to answer.
Mr.. Crockett asks for no informa-
ton, and vouchsafes none. He seems
to be peeved because a certain ma
terial has been selected, and the nat
ural explanation would seem to be
the well-known fact that he was in
terested in another kind of material.
He refers to an investment of three
million dollars" when, of course, the
investment is just half that sum-;
but then a million and a half dol
lars is small matter to our friend,
Davy. If that asphalt were to be as
thin as Davy's argument, we would
certainly demand some other ma
terial

In referring to certain matter in
Tallahassee paper, particularly
matter antagonistic to the candi-
dacy of Hon. w. V. Knott for Gov
ernor, we credited this matter to the
Tallahassee Record, when we meant
to write the Tallahassee Democrat.
The Record, instead of opposing Mr..
Knott, is doing yeoman service in
that gentlemans behalf, and it was
the Democrat which sprung, the beer

ON Mr.. Knott. This correction is
merely to make amends to both pa.
pers for the inadvertent use of the
name of one when the other was in
