SAY THE NICE THINGS ABOUT
TARPON SPRINGS,

One of the greatest stimulants is the

WITH Tarpon Springs and always have
a good word to say about it. They
say, 81 like Tarpon Springs-it's a
good town and has many attractive
surroundings. l am coming next year
and stay longer"
Now we are reminded that we must
not only have this spirit of optimism
within us but we must express it out
wardly and it will do more good. Let
us take the trouble to assist the Wis
itor to enjoy the many attractions of
Tarpon Springs and vicinity by telling
the stranger of them. Ask him if ne

the sponge market on the Anclote riv-
er at the north of the city, where the
sponges are brought in by the sponge
fleet, sold by bids at the exchange on
Tuesdays and Fridays, and where the
sponge vessels are being repaired and
built: tell them about the beautiful
Anclote river and the 'Cootie river,
both of which can not be excelled in
the delights of Florida tropic scenery
and in the pleasures of fishing, in any
part of Florida. And there are many
other attractions and outing pleasures
for the stranger that can be suggest
ed. Even though our visitors may
have heard of these things, it makes
them feel more at home and welcome
and comfortable. Tarpon Springs has
been growing fast and solidly, for the
past five years especially, and the
prospects never looked brighter. Think
well of Tarpon Springs and speak well
of our home town and section. It's the
best part of the state and there are
plenty of good things to talk about.
If we have any bad taste in our
mouths some morning from something
that seems to be going wrong, let us
not talk it to every one we meet, but
let us go to the source where it may
be corrected. Let US always talk well
and for the best of our town.

HELP THE CASTAWAY.

Many fellow comes to the point
Of death and then rallies, and lives.
But the castaway in life who catches
ledge and pulls up on the shore is a
rare specimen of the genus homo.
The fault is often not in the castaway
but in the bystanders, safe on the
shore, who push the clinging fingers
from the slender hold. Often it is
the derelict's own fault that he is
drifting, sometimes tits fate over
which he has no control, but at all
times the kinship of man to man
should be considered. A CHEEKY
smile and a warm handclaps do not
cost much but they are commodities
