TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT

We notice that G. E. Lewis is now
signing orders as captain of Company
B, First Regiment. What's become of
the kitten ?-Ocala Star.
This is about as near the truth as
anything you ever get in reference to
Governor Cats, or any member of his
family. Mr.. G. E. Lewis is in COM
mand of the Tallahassee home guards,
and has never signed an order as
captain of Company B, First Regi-
ment. Democrat
Gracious goodness and Great Scott!
The lid blew plumb off the teakettle.
How it does aggravate little Chi
lnese bonze for anybody not to kotow
to his joss.
The other day, the Star said it be-
lieved Captain Cats was fine young
soldier and it didn't want to see him
Inundated Was that apart from the
truth, Editor Smith?
In regard to Company B, we made
mistake which we corrected several
days ago. Of course Editor Smith
didn't see the correction.
We make many mistakes, but we
always correct them when we find
them out. But we regret to have to
say that Editor Smith of the ITALIA
Ihassee Democrat is not always manly
and courteous enough to correct his
mistakes.
But as Editor Smith is too small
mentally and physically, to be angry
with, we shall have to forgive him.

FELLOWSHIP

Fellowship, Sept. 3.-This section
has certainly had some rain for the
past two weeks, but don't think it has
damaged what little cotton there was
in this vicinity. Some of the farmers
are gathering corn and the yield is
fairly good.
| notice, Mr.. Editor, you spoke
about Mr.. L. Fl. Pillans saying there
was a bumper crop of cotton. Don't
you see the point why this report
should go out? I've been over a good
portion of the county and the yield
in proportion to the acreage is going
to be mighty small, but the grade of
cotton is good considering weather
conditions.

CITY KEEPS PENN'S PROMISE
Philadelphia StiIl Maintains Camping
Grounds for Indians.

Historical Philadelphia we all know,
or should know, well, but there are
very few who have ever heard of some
of the old, out of-the- ordinary things
that go to form quaint Philadelphia.
one scarcely connects Indians with
the city nowadays, and yet at this
present time If tribe of Indians
should care to visit Philadelphia they
would find two camping grounds
awaiting them in the very heart of the

Is down on Second street. Years ago.
when Penn made his treaty with the
Indians, he promised them that n
place would be kept for them and
their descendants forever. where they
could camp when they came to Phila-
delphia; and while these plots of
ground are not large, yet they still
stand there in fulfillment OF Penn's
promise.
The old shot tower down on Second
street belongs too. to Quaint Phila-

WAS A FAITHFUL HORSE
Stccd That Paul Revere Rode Has No
Place I'm History.

Paul Revere's name was made i'm
mortal when he rode from Boston TO
Lexington and Concord, warning the
patriots along the way Of the British
approach, and his fame has been Sc
curely enshrined in the hearts of all
Americans.
Historians have honored them
selves In honoring him. Poets have
round Inspiration In praisng him. He
IS an idol of childhood, an example in
the prime of manhod and a solacing
memory of old age.
HOW few characters loom up like
great peaks above the mountain
ranges of time!
And Paul Revere was one of these
lie was one of the precious few great
enough to grasp an opportunity to do
an incalcuable good to mankind.
Put says the Christian Herald.
While we give deserved glory to Paul
Revere, let us no longer forget that
there was another hero in that wild
midnight ride.
There was the horse.
ANY other horse might have dono
az we'll" you think? Well. so might
any other man have done as well, per-
haps. So might we flippantly dispar-
age any hero.
Bit the fact remains that 1t was
Paul Revere's horse that did It. And
the harder work fell on the horse. But
for the true horses faithfulness, Paul
Revere would have been a failure.
