SENATOR DRANE A DEVIL
' IN HIS OWN HOME TOWN
A Good Woman's Deed


..What became of him?" some one
asked.
well, he had a sad ending, re-
piled Senator Drane, and / shall
never forget that either. l had been
away from Franklin about two years
and it SO happened that on the hrst
day of my return, as was walking
down the main street of my little
home town shaking hands with boy
hood friends, noticed quite crowd
across the street and, of course, /
went over to investigate. There /
saw Kelley lying dead drunk at the
edge of the sidewalk with the town
marshal standing beside his pros
trate body getting ready to carry him
to the calaboose. But also in the
crowd was a woman of the town,
who had been notorious there for
years, and / heard her say to the
town marshal that Kelley was sick
and needed attention. She pleaded
with the marshal not to send Kelley
to the calaboose but to let her take
him home to her house and nurse
him. Finally, the marshal agreed
and Molly think that was heI
lname-sent for a horse and buggy
had some men help her get Kelley's
unconscious form into the vehicle
then she got up in the seat, took the
reins and drove home. After getting
there she sent for the doctor, who
kept on going to see Kelley, day
after day, for two weeks, and Molly
paid the bill, but despite all the ply
stefan could do and all the goot
nursing and care he received from
Molly, the past life of dissipation
told, and after two weeks illness
Kelley died. He had burnt the can

Increased valuation of property is
brought about by good roads in this
way: Where there is waste land ly-
ing unproductive and assessed at a
nominal valuation, build a road
through It and quickly on both sides
the land is brought into cultivation,
and smiling homes and thriving groves
are substituted for the waste places.
Good roads will not cause the assess
ment of any mans farm to be increas'
ed in anything like the proportion
they will increase its selling value;
but they will induce new settlers to
locate and build homes and groves on
LANDS that are now almost worthless
because of their incessibility. And II
is through this process that increased
valuation will largely pay OF the
bonds for good roads.

Well, we hate to use that beer-bot-

hour or more a bottle of beer offered
by your rival candidate Wood deserves
rebuke. The Pensacola Journal sug,
gests that you might have smashed
it over the head of one of Florida S

The description of the duties of

gives us the impression that it is
Just the kind of Office we would like

Jordan for trying to take it away
from Mr.. Crawford, nor the latter
for trying to hold on to it. Leaving
