NEWTON A. BLITCH

Widespread sorrow is felt in Flor
ida at the news of the death of aged
and honored Newton A. Bitch, who
passed away at his home in Tallahas-
see Sunday evening. Mr.. Bitch was
born in northwestern Marion county
II years ago. The part of the county
he was born IN was later transferred
to Levy, and Mr.. Bitch represented
that county in the state senate and
house of representatives for twenty
years. Mr.. Bitch was Confederate
soldier, going into the Southern ranks
when a mere boy. His services were
never forgotten by his comrades, and
when he died he was commander of
the Confederate Veterans of Florida.
He was a member of the Baptist
church and truly pillar of that de-
nomination. He become a member of
the state railroad commission in 1907
and was regularly elected by the peo-
pie every time his term expired. His
private life is a shining example to
younger men and his public record is
dntarnished
Mr.. Bitch was an older brother to
the lamented DIR. S. II. Bitch, also to
Mr.. B. K. Bitch of Blitchton. Mr..
]. S. Bitch. superintendent of the
state farm. is his son, and he was
related by blood or marriage to q
number of the leading families of the
state.
He was a kind and courteous old
gentleman, who had for many years
worthily filed an important place in
the public affairs of his state and the
affections and friendship of many
people. His passing makes a void
that will be long felt.

FIGURES WON'T LIE

Something seems to all the figures
sent out by the board of health of this
state-as a late circular from that
body assures the reader shat cancer
kills one person in every ten in the
United States" With an estimated
of at least 100000 as
a minimum. that statement asserts
that eleven million people die from
cancer each year.-Kissimmee Valley
Gazette.
According to the Gazette's figures,
the entire population of the United
States dies every year.

VOICE OF REFORM.

There was quite a lively discussion
at a meeting OF the master BARRIERS
yesterday"
"What about?'
'"The suggestion was made that
publications exploiting pugilists and
chorus girls should be banished from
all first class tonsorial parlors."
"Was the motion carried?"
"Eo. Some of the master BARRIERS
contended that their clients had not
been educated up TO that point yet,
so the motion was lost"

CORN, COBB, STALK AND ALL

Many people doubt that people in
Kansas burn corn instead of wood or
coal. They wouldn't doubt it if they
had been there. What is meant by
burning corn is not the shelled corn,
as fasteners imagine, but corn, cobs,
shucks, leaves and stalks It was done
frequently on the western prairies IN
pioneer days, and is by no means i'm
possible to do again.

PASS THE BUCK TO HUBBY

Unless the law is changed so as to
allow women to have their poll taxes
paid by their husbands, we fear that
lot of our ardent suffragets won't
vote often. In Ocala, they have been
bothered more about that dollar that
might be needed to enable them to
vote than about their entire list of
Christmas presents.

This applies to the ladies who want

OLD PETE GOES TO HIS
REWARD.

With q full life of one score
years and ten, old Pete of Nc
Donald, Mississippi, lay down in
the field where he had frolicked
as a colt and labored as q mule,
and quitely passed away.
Old Pete was born during Pres.
ident Benjamin Harrison's ad-
ministration, thirty-one years
ago. He was born on the farm
where he died, without change
of master. All of Mr.. q. M. Hitt's
five boys learned to plow behind
old Pete, and when these boys,
three of them now with families,
gathered around his grave q few
days ago there was not much said,
and we are told, there were eyes
wet.
Pete was an exceptional old
mule with a heap of good old
horse sense. 1t is true he began
to grow a little mulishly stubborn
with his declining years. Several
years ago, while giving Mr.. Hitt's
youngest son few lessons in
plowing, Pete became disgusted
(probably with good reason) aud
with the mule-headed determi-
nation peculiar to his breed he
Left the garden and the boy, and
took refuge in the pasture. This
was the only time in his long and
useful life that he refused to re-
spond to the call of boy or man.
Dan Patch, Man O. War, or no
other beast has ever excelled him
perseverance and industry. He
set an example that other mules
would do well to emulate, espec
tally that emblematic distant
cousin Of his that leads the co.

world. He worked to a plan and not at hap
hazard. He called to his aid the best artists and
artizans. J. S. C.. and Jacob Abbott in their note
worthy biogra phes of historical characters, in
writing of Pericles, closed description of old
Athens in these words: And this magnifcence
not the result of centuries of toil-it was the
work of fifty years-Athens became vast work
ship in which artisans of every kind, all in their
various degrees contributing to the execution of
the plans of the master minds Phidias Ictinus
CELEBRATES Mnesicles and others" The Athens
of Perices has been inspiration for lovers of
the beautiful in all ages since his day. The city
didn't merely grow" but was faithfully and eff
ticiently built to a plan. Modern Paris is a
made over" city, work inaugurated by Louis
Napoleon when whole streets rebuilt and
the buildings reconstructed. Washington City
is being built to plan, and some day America S
capital will be one of the most beautiful cities
on earth. Since the beginning of the world war
there has been but little building and extension
work in American cities. Street, lighting and
other improvement work is contemplated and
under way in Jacksonville, Tampa, Pensacola,
Miami, Lakeland and other cities of Florida.
Would it not be well that the future be kept in
view and plans worked out so that mistakes may
be avoided and rules of beauty applied as well
as utility.
