section OF Florida enjoying vacation
from his PASTORAL work and visiting
his sister, Mrs. A. P. Monroe, of Pine.

Speaking of politics, Jim Thomas OF
Spar is going to be the logical man
for tax assessor, if he continues in the
race. He has the oldest claim, he is
thoroughly competent, his record as
q democrat is beyond question, even
his father before him helped TO hold |
mp the democratic standard in Marion |
county in the dark reconstruction pc !
riod. The entire family has been |
FAITHFUL tO-not a few-successfuls in |
ahe county-not a few by any means |
and yet this is the first favor that
aho Thomas family has ever asked |
Those who have been so faithfully
served will express that fine senti
ment of gratitude
and crossing every other petty polit
zeal obligation do their duty most no
bly to the Spar candidate.
