On whom somebody had thrown

Sllwanee, or Suwannee?

The esteemed Tallahassee friend
who last week, wrote The Herald
to correct its spelling of Suwan-
nee, wrote at the same time to the
Palm Beach Post, in which the or
biographical offense was repro
duced, and chided that paper for
not also correcting The Herald.
Here is what she wrote and
what Editor Thorndyke said in re-
ply:
"'I want to ask you why you
did not take the editor of The
Punta Gorda Herald up on his
spelling of the word 'Suwanee.
