The aggregation of small
shows, called carnival, that held
forth here all last week, packed
up to leave, Saturday night, but
was tied up by some kind of a
court process until yesterday,
when it left for Lakeland. 1t
seems there was a disagreement
between the owners, which result
ed in the resort to court. They
made no money here; on the con-
trary, it is believed that they lost
several hundred dollars. The
three days delay in leaving must
have cost them that much.

The Herald is not personally ac-

knows nothing of his policies, but
the fact that he represented his
home county in the last leglsla-
ture goes to show that he is gen
tleman of standing and influence

senator. He will no doubt VISIT
all places in the district and let
the voters know his attitude on
all questions affecting the inter
ests of the people. All shoulc
