Tuesdays Town Election

The town election Tuesday,
passed off quietly and pleasantly,
though an unusual. interest was
taken in, it. This interest caused
a larger vote than ordinary to be
polled, the total being 1856. In
the general election on the 9Th, on
ly SO votes were cast.
There was lively contest for
mayor, marshal, councilmen and
treasurer. Only the office of clerk,
assessor and collector was not con-
tested. Candidates for the con-
tested Offices, aided by their
friends, worked quietly and ener-
getically throughout the day and
brought out nearly the full vote
Of the town. Good humor pre-
vailed; there was no unpleasant
occurrence of any kind.
The vote was as follows:
For mayor-Adam Silcox 70, S.
+. j. Trabue lis.
For marshall. G. Caldwell 70,
j. FL. Lipseomb 1913.
For councilmen-T. G. Crosland
40, j. S. Golf 104, II. G. Goldstein
Sc, A. j. Kinsel 66, J. Harvey

Weeks SO.
For clerk, assessor and collector
Il. e. Robinson 148.
For treasurer-T. S. Griggs,
119, E. w. Rountree 60.
Trabue is reelected as mayor;
Lipscomb, reelected marshal, and
Robinson, clerk. New officers
chosen are: Crosland, Golf and
Goldstein, councilmen, and T. S.
Griggs, treasurer.
The successful candidates can
be trusted to work faithfully for

every citizen should do all that
he can to aid them in carrying
out their duties.

Florida Farmers Growing Wheat

In line with the request of the
government to produce more food
crops, Florida farmers are re-
spending nobly. 1t is a well rec
ognized fact that Florida eondi-
lions are not well suited to wheat
growing, yet realizing the neces-
sity Of growing as much of this
crop as possible, in many sections
Of the state the farmers are put
ting in at least a small acreage.
The following reports from the
county agents give an idea Of
what is being done along this line
in some counties.
Duval county: A great many
farmers will plant from one to
two acres of wheat this fall is
suitable seed can be obtained.
Putnam county Wheat is being
tried out in a very small way, to
determine what it will do in the
potato section of the county.
Jackson county: About 200
farmers in this county have pledg-
ed to grow wheat this year. Some
Of these farmers have never
grown wheat before, and some are
planning to increase their acreage
to this crop.
Gadsden county: Much interest
is shown in the planting of a
small acreage to wheat.
