MIST YOUR BIBLE OFF AND
READ THIS.

The following, taken from the
south Missourian Democrat, gives
ne several oddities and facts about
the bible that are rather interest
ing. The article is as follows:
.'In the old prison at the Palace
of SkilIs,. Madrid. many years
ago. Nklearned Prince of Gran
ada heir to the Spanish throne,
was imprisoned by order of the
crown, lest he try to unsurp tn.
throne. He was kept in solitary
confinement for thirty-three years
and when death at last released
him from this living tomb, the fol-
lowing researches taken from the
bible: the walls Of the cell told
how the brain sought employment
thropeb the weary years.
"Rthe bible the word Lord
is found 1893 times, the word 'Je-
hovah' 1855 times, the word rev
eren' but once. and that in the
9th verse of the 18th Psalm. The
9Th verse of tfr 18th Psalm is the
middle verse Of the bible. The
9th verse of the Sth chapter Of
Esther is the longest verse, and
the 35th verse Of the 11th chapter
Of St. John is the shortest. In
the 10th Psalm four verses are
alike. the Sth, the 10th. 21st and
31st. Each verse Of the both
Psalm ends alike.
"N0 names or words with more
than six syllables are found in the
bible. The 9th chapter of Isaiah
and the 10Th chapter of the End
Kings ARK. alike, the word ssgirl"
appears once in thu. bible and that
in the Bird verse and Bird chapter
of Joel. There are found in both
books of the bible 3 $50, 483 letters,
1853 words. 81 1878 verses. 1149
chapters and &c books. The Goth
chapter of. the Acts of the Apos-
tells is the finest to read. The most
beautiful chapter in our bible is
ny .The four mos: RspirRg prom
ises are John, 10Th chapter and I'd
verse; John, 9th chapter and 9Th
Psalm and 18th verse. The LIST
verse of the 10th chapter Of
Isaiah is one Of the new convert.
All should read the 9th chapter
of Mathek. All humanity should
learn the 9th chapter of st. Luke
from the Goth verse to it's ending"

About fifty-eight years ago a vision
of blonde loneliness made it's entrance
into the world, in the form of young
Gilmore D. Beggs. Madison, Florida
saw him first and the Madison schools
educated him. When he left them, he
became a student at the South Geor-
gia Agricultural College at Thomas
vile, and later at the University of
Georgia
Upon leaving school he became a
printer. and subsequently, the owner
and editor of the Madison Recorder.
After several years service in this
capacity he was admitted to the bar.
In 1887 he moved to Kissimmee,
Florida, and engaged there in the prac-
tice of law. From Kissimmee he
moved to Pensacola where he has
practiced law ever since Governor
Mitchell appointed him judge of the
criminal court of record of Escambia
County. He served in this capacity
a short time and resigned, later to
become one of the committee to aa-
judicate the claims of property in the
water front of Pensacola. In 1899
came his appointment as one of the
trustees of the University OF Florida.
In 1902 he was again appointed
Judge of the criminal court of record
and held that position until 1913. He
resumed the practice of law after his
last term as judge and has been ac-
lively engaged in it ever since.
In 1918 Judge Beggs was elected a
member of the Board of Public In
struction.
Probably the biggest step the Judge
ever took was that which so many
wise men take at some point in their
careers. He married Miss Lily Clubs.
daughter of the honorable A. V.
Clubbs and one of Pensacola's bellies.
The Baptist Sunday School is now
the richer, for the attendance of the
family of four.

Florida Has Been Discovered

Miami has counted the people she will have
twenty years from now and the number is 10000
That's something like counting chickens before

believe the figures conservative. and that the popu

All Florida is going to show wonderful growth in
the next two decades; and few cities are going to
treble their present size in that period Miami will
do it or better. Tampa, Lakeland, Orlando and prob
ably St. Petersburg will make the indicated mark.
Many other communities will at least double in pop

certain progressive communities that just can't be
