CARD or THANKS AND APPREcIA.
TIoN FROM PROF. BRINsoN

Ocala, Fla, January 8, 1920
To the public of Marion County:
My dear Friends
1t is common knowledge that have
resigned as superintendent of public
instruction and that Hon. w. d. earn
has been appointed to succeed me.
1t is fitting that in taking this action
should leave some word with the PEG.
pie who have entrusted the great res
possibility of experimenting the edu,
cation of their children to me.
AS was pretty generally known did
not contemplate entering the race in
the primaries for fourth nomination
and at this juncture without. the least
suggestion upon my part the state
superintendent saw fit to recommend
me for appointment as supervisor OF
negro education for the state to the
General Education Board and they saw
fit to gladly accept the recommends
ton.
l attended a conference of their
state agents and the officers of the
General Education Board and other
boards at Richmond, Virginia, on Dec.
16 and II and after careful consider
alton of their proposition agreed to
get with them.
1t is new position and new field
in FLORIDA though there have been men
furnished for the other southern states
for some years by the same people and
I found them to be southern school
men of the very best type and the
other southern states have accom-
plished much good work in the matter
of the schooling of the negro and the
training Of teachers for this work.

surrender the work of the office be.
fore the expiration of my third term
but this is compensated by the feeling
that I am to be followed by one who
served faithfully and satisfactorily in
the office for three full terms in years
gone by who will put into the office
his accumulated experience in school
work and other public matters.
The people of Marion county have
been good to me and I have devoted
eleven years of the best service of my
life to the effort to maintain and ad.
vance their school interests and !
wish to at this time express my very
sincerest appreciation of the conf
dence shown in calling me to the
superintendency of their school affairs
for three terms.
May not at this time pause to make
a hasty survey of the present school
condition.
To be frank, my friends, it is far
from satisfactory and the very best
thought and labor of the school teach.

BIC EATERS GET
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take glass Of Salts before breakfast
if your Back hurts or Bladder
bothers you.

The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trouble,
because we.eat too much and all our food
is rich. Our blood is filed with uric
acid which the kidneys strive to filter
out. they weaken from overwork, become
sluggish; the eliminatiye tissues clog and
the result is kidney trouble, bladder
weakness and a general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like Jumps of
lead; your back hurts or the urine is
cloudy, full of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three times
during the night; if you suffer with sick
headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid
stomach, or you have rheumatism when
the weather is bad, get from your phar-
macist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take q tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys;
to neutralize the acids in the urine so it
no longer is q source of irritation, thus
ending bladder disorders.
Jad Sahs il inexpensive; cannot in
jure, makes delightful effervescent
Whitewater beverage, and belongs in
every home, because nobody can make
mistake by having good kidney flush

There ar eat least score of people
travelling with Miss Blue Eyes and
while not all of them are blends, and
there are, naturally few mere men
in the group, the majority of the enter
tainers are good-looking, young women
who can sing, dance and wear very
pretty clothes in a becoming manner
The principals are right on the spot
with their lines and comedy work, and
the Incidental songs, dances, choruses
and ensembles are all enjoyable. Miss
Jensen, in the title role is as pretty as
a picture and her ingenius role is sa
tisfactorily sustained. Her song in the
last act was one of the best of the
evening. Miss Morton, as Sylvia, is
a big favorite, and the law partners
as played by Foulk and Macarthur are
clever There are a number of inter-
polated songs and dances, notably the
whirlwind dance of Lamb and Good
rich, where all excellent and the whole
show is entertaining.

amusement Miss Blue Eyes is recon-
mended. Union.

FROM FRYING PAN TO FIRE

A story goes that once upon a
time live fish was placed In a
frying pan. In its agony it gave
one nightly flop and landed in
the hotter Goals Of the fire.
We fear the story Of the fable
is being enacted in real life TO-
day
There is groking unrest among
young men on the farms-an un-
rest which constitutes a distinct
peril to the nation.
Stories of abnormally high
wages paid for even unskilled Ia
Dor in the cities have fired the
farm hand with that greatest Of
all American curses desire
to get rich quick.
In imagination ht sees the
money rolling in, but there his
imagination stops. He never
thinks of it pouring out again.
And in the big cities, despite
the high wages paid, there is
quite as much pouring as rolling.
lust why bright eyed, keen
minded and energetic Young men
OF the country should prefer the
exasperating perplexities Of the
city to the peaceful certainties Of
the country is difficult to con-
eeive.
From infancy they have been
trained in the hard headed school
OF experience which has enabled
their fathers to achieve success
LII an era when the hand of fate
was against every farmer-when
they was no adequate recon-
pense for their labors- the
star Of hope was obscured by the
low prices Of their products.
Yet all Of this splendid train
ing seems to be without avail.
They want to leave the farms.
Fathers have pleaded. Moth
ers and sisters and sweethear,s
have shed bitter tears. But tne
unrest is there-it will not sleap.
True, the city newspapers are
filled with enticingly worded ad-
vertisements calling for help, but
when sifted down they are more
often found to be jobs that the
city man does not want. The
farmer lad is asked to come IN
and take the crumbs that remain.
1t is an unfortunate condition
which faces the country, and one
which must be met.
Ii the deplorable depopulatfon
OF the farms continues there can
be but one result. The farmer
will live in peace and plenty be-
cause he can always raise suffi-
Gent for the needs Of himself
and his family. But everywhere
the cities will cry for food when
there is no food to be had. And
the young man who leaves the
farm will be among those who
experience the joys Of a gay life
and an empty stomach.
