THE CITY THAT DIED
tBy Willis Powell)

tBy W1iilS POWELL
There is city in Florida that might
easily have divided honors with Tam
pa, Jacksonville or Miami. but today
you seldom hear of it. It is dead. 1t
will probably never come to life.
The business men of this city had
faith in its future. They had ambi-
ton. They had vision. 1t was no
cheap boom town. There was a rea-
son for its existance. 1t had real
harbor that cost millions. 1t had deep
water that the government spent 9th
er millions upon A railroad built
miles upon miles Of sidewalks and
warehouses and elevators Its boats
came in loaded to the guards and took
on phosphate and lumber and other
freight and headed out for the seven
seas.
I'VE are bound to be great port.
was the slogan. Where else can
commerce gog" asked the citizens one
of another.
They appeared to be right Bust
ness doubled overnight Miles upon
miles of streets weer laid out; factor
les sprung up all over the town with
community centers about the factor
les. Everybody was making money.
everybody had more than he could do.
The people laughed at the efforts of
a fishing village close by that was
making noise: laughed at the pre-
tensions of hamlet across the bay
Today the fishing village has nearly
$4,000 population. and the hamlet
across the bay 10000, with a tourist
population OF $4,000.
And the city with such wonderful
future is today merely terminal OF
railroad
Why? Because it lacked strong
commercial organization
Faith in Lake county is not suffi-
cient. Unless we back up our faith
with our time and money. the great
wave Of population and wealth and
industry sweeping towards Florida
win go to other countries It has been
done before and viii do so again
Lake county is not the greatest
county in Florida. measured by popu-
lation and cultivated acres. but it is
on the ladder Of success going up and
the class OF poole we are seeking are
observant to that prosperous condition
and are seeking such counties as Lake
with its upward trend, rather than the
best county in the world on the ladder
of success coming down.
Let's make Lake county an indepen-
dent county and not as spillway for
other peoples prosperity. Let rs lead
mot follow in all things.

IN THE cHURcHYARD
The plumed black horses pacing go
In formal, hideous pomp of woe.
Lo, this mans mother there:
So must my mother fare.
Rough hireling hands, chat hav, not
known
Her living, lift the comm down,
And ranged on either hand,
Strangers and kin, we stand.
They there, we here, and she between,
So near me / could almost lean
And touch her bed; yet thus
Remote far?-from us.
All changed. all passing; save her
hair
Death sets no sign of lordship there.
Years frosted it before,
Now it shall change no more.
That cold, unsightly, pitiless box
Never again unseals, unlocks.
How close clannped edges fit.
Vain to press lips on it.
Hark! the first clay in handfuls
thrown,
And then the readers monotone.
Out under heaven here
1t scarce arrests the ear.
It stops. With dreadful instant speed
Men fall to work, as if indeed
There were life to save
BY filling up grave.
o set gray eyes of men she bore
Watching the trench fill more and
more;
Set eyes-no tear is shed;
A strong race she has bred
Still shovelling. shovelling on the
dead,
And then. one stroke with back OF
spade
To show that all is done,
Wage earned and resting won.
Kind hands range flowers on the loose
clay.
Poor. pretty dollhouse blossoms they,
Tarnished already; Death
Has touched them with his breath.
Is there no more, no more to do?
No more, no more: she has her due
Leave her, come home again:
It's cold here In the rain.
Leave her to Nature; so tbs best,
In that blind bosom lost, to rest.
Her separate life is done,
With Nature she is one.
Where Nature strikes the scar win
close,
And soon the sod together grows.
Her balm is Lethe; yet
We for remembrance fret.
And as each breath men dying draw
Rebels against the falling law,
And with a kind of rage
Heaven mp its bony cage.
SO strive we when on Death we think
Not into nothingness to sink.
All. if none soothe us, still
Nature is kind: Death win.

NOTHING INDICATES
LOWER COAL PRICES
Bennington HousehoIders Not Taking
Advantage of Rates to Order
Winter Supplies.

Since coal prices were established

dealers have delivered next winters
orders to a considerable number of
manufacturing plants, to the schools,

some individual residences. House.
holders as a class, however are not
placing their orders for delivery as
rapidly as conditions would appear to
warrant. The bottom price quoted for
the month OF April will be advanced

on the amount OF coal used by an
individual family is not large
increase, On winter consumpt on
of 10 tons it amounts it amounts to
only dollar, increasing 10 cents
month to September when it win a.
mount to five dollars.
This matter of ten cents month
increase in price is not the big feat
ure in the situation. Taking into con
sideration information derived from
all sources. from the mines from the
wholesalers and from the railroads, 1t
is apparent that there is little hope
for better prices on coal during the
coming year II the price moves in any
direction it will be upward. An ad-
vance in freight rates is being con
sidered at the present time and if it
goes into effect 1t will be reflected
in the retail price of fuel,
In the city of Troy one of the banks
is advertising that 1t will make loans
to responsible persons who desire to
put in their winter coal while the pre-
sent prices prevail. While there is
absolute assurance to that effect.
there is every indication that the
householder who has his coal deliver
ed during the summer will save more
than the difference between the price
established at the time OF delivery
and the price that goes into effect in
the fall Whatever changes comes a.
bout next fall and winter are not going
to help the consumer At least, there
are no signs indicating that the person
who waits is going to be benef ted.

Patrick j. Prendereast Also Relates
Good Walsh Story About
A Jew.

Patrick j. Prendergast. 103 Valen-

idea that the world in which he hap

dawned upon HIM. Sunday. while he

medical expert and the country's ex-
ponent Of Americanism. in tow dur

happened while the two were making
an inspection of the monument.
While DR.. Walsh was disputing Mr..
Prendergast's statement that the

scene. One of the men alighted from
the car and advanced toward the doc

smile an an outstretched hand, he be-
gan:
Doctor Walsh I'm really glad to
meet you. You don't know me, but

ture in the Montauk Opera house in
New York fortnight ago, feel that

Mr.. Prendergast says that within
five minutes after that introduction
DR.. Walsh and Mr.. Black had become
fast friends
Say" continued Mr. Prendergast,
who. although not an idol worshipper,
has feeling akin to that for his pa
triotic New York friend, "but DR..
Walsh is some story teller and he

perfectly legitimate, but also as en-.

has put the clever persons in Jail.
Millions are in the air and the air
is full OF grabbing hands. In the hotel

sales office OF the war department
keen eyed men bid for hundreds of
thousands and even millions of dol.
lars worth of war supplies that they
plan to dispose of at three, four or
ten times the purchase price.
Their talk is in big money. 1t is no

large lots only. 1t takes capital TO
play the cards in this fascinating
speculation in sheets, sardines, flaE-

station in North Troy were transfer
red to the first precinct in the south
end, The shakeup followed orders is
sued by Commissioner of Public Safe
ty Thomas Fl. McDonough late Satur-
day
When asked for the reasons for the
transfer, Commissioner MoDonough
said it was for the good of the serv-
ice. The change of territory, he de-
clared, should increase the eff

question of whether the reassgn.
ments would be permanent, he de.
clared he did not know

thing to do with the crusade against
jitney and bus drivers, started tn s
morning. While the men may be as
signed to the new posts for few
weeks it is believed they will eventu-
ally be returned to thier former pre-.
cincts.
The sergeants are not affected by
