CAUSES CONFUSION
(DeLand News.)

That mo fence" law that was enacted for Il
portion of ST. Lucie county is very simple af
fair The gist of it is that trespass by ones stock
is declared to be unlawful, and measures for
curing redress in of violations of the law
are provided. There is no occasion to call it
mo fence" law; it is not such in any sense of the
word. The use of that term has been the means
of bringing in lot of confusion. 1t should be
called "trespass law" and the entire PROPOSE
ton treated on the same general principles that
have always and everywhere governed in that
matter. The only question at issue is the matter
of extending the trespass law so as to include
live stock. The question as to the rghtfuness of
the proposition is not even debatable-there is
only one side to it.

Autumn is most welcome. The arrival of cool
weather has beneficial influence on both health
and business. Lakeland with its high elevation
above level, enjoys the full sweep Of delightful
breezes no matter from what direction these breezes
may come From the standpoint of business the
improvement in patronage has been most noticeable,
the drop in temperature making desirable change
to heavier clothing and the adoption of different
kind of headwear. The haberdasher. the dealer
in fact all lines of trade show the effect of the fall
1t is inspiring to know that business shows
an upward trend that will be more marked from
day to day as the Christmas holiday season ap-
