Young Man Has
I'Ialented Family

Mr.. and. Mrs. w. s. Moore are the
parents of fine son, who was born
Friday afternoon. We make no pre-
diction as to the young mans future.
If he wishes to become scientific
merchant and prominent citizen, he
will be taking after" his father, II
he is of literary turn of mind, he
will resemble his mother, who was
Miss Mabel Drane. If he Is states
man, he will be following the foot
steps of his grandfather, Congress-
man Drane. If his time should re-
uuire military man, he may take as
his examples, his great-great-grand-
father, Capt. Anthony Drane, and HIS
uncle, Lieut. Ossian Drane. And again,
should he desire to become an artist,
he has but to follow the footsteps Of
his great grandmother, Mrs. Frances
Boswell. One thing seems to be set
tied, however; his name will be Ste
phen Anthony Lakeland Advertiser.
The Advertiser failed to say that il
the young man desires to be musical,
he will find in his grandmother, Mrs.
Herbert Jackson Drane, all the musi-
cal talents necessary to successful
musician. as Mrs. Drane has been the
organist for the Episcopal church in
this city for the past thirty years, be-
sides possessing splendid voice
which is always heard with pleasure

DAWN
(By R. Z. Lufsey.)

(By R. E. Lufsey.)
A roseate glow in the eastern sky;
A twitter of birds on the branches
near;
From across the marsh comes the
heron's cry,
As he greets his kindred as they
appear.
The night has been cold, and damp,
and drear;
And, somewhere, out on the bleak
morass
A little one trembled with doubt and
That the long, dark night would new
er pass.
Covering, there, on the lonely fen,
Whimpering low as it's fears in
creased;
Dwelling afar from the haunts OF
men:
But, now, every cowardly fear has
ceased;
For Dawn is showing her face 10
the East,
And the first bright glow of the ris-
ing sun
Gives promise of day, and a joyous
feast
That God has prepared for each lit"
tie one.
Many a mother sees only the dark,
When the news comes back from the
battles hell,
And hope has dwindled to, only, a
spark
But God is, still, living and all Is
we'll
Soon one will come, the glad news
to tell,
That Dawn is abroad in the eastern
sky;
And louder than shrieking OF shot
and shell
Will come the glad note Of the freed
mans cry.

YOUNG MEN OF AMERICA
DO THEIR OWN THINKING

You will like the explanation that
Arthur Brisbane gives of the super
iority of the American soldier. He
says the reason there is every hope 81
great and decisive victory for Amer
lean arms is because the young men
of the United States are taught to
think.
This country teaches young men
to think for themselves in the public
schools, where all are equal" says
Brisbane. I'm the struggle for sue

who thinks, goes to the top, ana
Thaw, the millionaires son, who
doesn't think, goes to the insane asy-
lum.
This individual thinking is reflect
ed in the cables that tell about the
fighting.
| For instance, Fred Brown ana Us

geants, were taken prisoners after
their last cartridge was fired. They
were taken to the rear to be ques-
toned under guard of German Of

ward the German rear, they had
knocked down their guards, taking

Alexander won his battles against
considerable odds because his father
hired Aristotle, the greatest thinker

Total Millage
For County Came
As Last Yeal

The millage for the year 1888 has
Just been fixed by the County Com
missioners, and it remains the same
as last year-27 mills. An increase in
tax values of about 100000 is
shown, and material reduction in
the tax levy could have been made
had it not been necessary to raise
about $4,000 to complete the bonded
system of roads. There is shortage
of that sum, due to the building OF
the roads through the incorporated
towns, which was not contemplated in
the original bond project, but which
reads have been built out of the bond
money. The cost of these roads will
be refunded to the county by the in
ccrporated towns and villages out OF
their taxes, but this does not relieve
the shortage now; hence there was
sufficient millage levied to take care
OF the completion of the system OF
asphalt roads. The amount expended
by the county for building roads
through the Incorporated places, and
which will be refunded, is S157 460. SO !:
the amount necessary to complete the
road system is pproximately $140, 00G
Only about seven miles of road yet re-
main to be completed
The assessed valuation of the coun-
ty for the year is approximately $40,
100000.
The following shows the distribu-
ton of the tax levy for the COMING
wear.
