Florida Newspaper Matters


Tampa Tribune, has recently
bought a valuable block near the
government building and the DE
Soto hotel in his city and intends
erecting thereon one of the finest
and most attractive newspaper
homes in the Southern States.
Col. Stovall and his Tribune have
done such a great work for the
state in general and South Fiorl-
da in particular that his success
and prosperity are source of
genuine qualification to thousands
of Floridians. The Herald editor
particularly rejoices in Col. Stov-
all's success.
Owing to i'll health, l.. c. Rea-
gin has sold his interest in the
Tampa Times and gone to North
Carolina in quest of recuperation.
Many friends hope for his speedy
restoration and early return to
newspaper work in Florida.
Goode M. Query, for several
years managing editor Of the
Tampa Tribune and one of the
most brilliant reporters of the u
nited States, has resigned his po-
sition and accepted work on the
Jacksonville Metropolis. He is a
scion of that noted Georgia fam
lily, of which Dupont Query sew

Robert w. Bentley, former man.
aging editor of the Tampa Times,
has succeeded to Mr.. Guerry's
place on the Tribune. He is a
writer of ability and, more thar
that, a gentleman of high charac-
ter, whose services the Tribune is
fortunate in securing.
w. l.. Straub, pugnacious and
powerful editor of the st. Peters
burg Times, has become postmast-
er of his city, fact that requires
him to give up editorial work,
whereat the press expresses justi-
fable regrets. All congratulate
him, but deplore his enforced 81

ed. Chris Codrington of the De-

the commissioners of Volusia
county. You can't buy him "for

grouchy.
Harry w. Johnston of the Apa-
lachacola Times, was re-nominat-
ed for county judge. He is an
able man and editor; and, as the
business men of his city do not
appreciate his excellent
paper, it is nothing but right that
they should give him something
to enable him to live while he is
boosting their town and county.
G. G. Woodward of the Plant

position that will pay him $4,000

has beat all his brethren.

What is a banditY The 1890 e.
ditiOn of "Webster's Unabridg-
ed" defines a bandit as "a lawless
or desperate fellow "a robber bri-
gand. F." That, of course, aplies to
but when he commands five
hundred or a thousand men,
should he be called a bandit?

The Dentist as Martyr.

A dentist writing to the Voice Of

professions for the relief OF pain,
dentstry is not only one of the most
important but one Of the most

lieves US of disabled and aching

he is made the butt Of the pro-

TO our good health.

The Advantages Of Selling Cream.

Some farmers are churnins but.
ter and selling il for less than they
would receive from the sale of the
cream which is used in making the
butter Professor c. H. Eckles of
the Missouri College Agriculture OF
points out three very good reasons
why il is TO the advantage of the
Missouri farmers to sell cream rath
er than to make butter to be sold
at the local store, Cd Selling
cream means less work for the
women than making butter. (2)
The cream will nearly always
bri ne as much as the butter and
often considerably more. (3) The
CT cam buyer offers a market for
any quantity of cream at any time.
Any system that will tighten the
duties OF the women on the farm
without decreasing the income
should certainly be adopted. When
cream is sold all that is necessary
is to see that the cream is cooled
after being separated and to take it
along to town twice week in win
ter and three times in summer.
1t may be that a few farmers
wives will find special customers
that will take the butter at a price
equal to that secured for cream but
that does not apply to many Even
then surplus butter will be left on
hand at times. Again there may
not be enough to supply the custo-
mers and dissatisfaction will result
When selling cream these troubles
do not come to annoy ANY guam
tity. much or little, dan be sold to
the cream buyer at any time and
cash received on the spot
As rule unless the home made
butter can be sold at an average
price of q cents or more the year
around the income will be more ii
the cream is sold. At an average
of 25 cents the income will be
about the same but a large amount
of work viii BE- saved by selling
the cream. II the farmer does not
have a cream separator he should
get one if 1 COWS or more are milk
ed. A machine will more than pay
for itself within a year when lC
cows are kept By the additional
butter saved Four COW, with d
