Some evidence of how wealthy persons have patronized Florida resorts during the jrast winter is shown ’ y the fact that within the past few days the Seaboard Air Line hauled north no less than twenty-seven private ; . said to be the largest number ever mov :d cut of the state in a single season over one line. A good many of the lawns in the city need a little “tending” to in the way of getting after the dandelion. The properties and lawns would look much better if they were all rid of the yellow flowers. Get after them before they go to seed and save them from spreading. At the St. Joseph's school Father Seimetz has the boys and girls picking the flowers and then has them destroyed. The plan is a good one. Try it.

it. H. Austin of this city, who is operating the skating rink here, can icstify as to the accuracy of the railroads. When he had his rink furniture and fixtures shipped here, in some way an overcharge of four cents was made. Wednesday he re ceived a voucher check from the V. a company for lour cents. He stepped up to the First National and had his check cashed. He was cautioned not to spend the money foolishly.—Columbia City Post. Sunday, 9th, is Mother's ■lay, when white carnations are to Ho worn by sons and daughter.. This is a beautiful custom, and while wo could not for a moment suggest any less devotion to the memory of mother, we think it would have been proper to have made the occasion “Parents’ Day” Perhaps if dad had half a chance such as parents' day might bestow, he would straighten up more or less, brush his wrinkled clothes, shine his shoes, put on a clean collar and do credit to the occasion. The Burk Elevator company of this city is ready to build an elevator at Craigville, where one was destroyed by fire a few months. At that time the company lost heavily, having considerable wheat in the building when it burned, but undauncd by the loss, preparations for rebuilding were soon started The foundation work lor the new structure was started this week. Plans and specifications for the new building are ready, and one bid on the c< ntract has been received but it has not yet been let. It. is expected that the new elevator will be ready for the fall business.

A feature of the present outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease to which the federal authorities attach much importance is the unprecedentedly iarge number of hogs which have been affected. Both actually and in proportion to the total number oi animals stricken, this has been much larger than in any previous outbreak in this country. The chief reason, the authorities say, is the spread of the infection through uncooked milk and ether creamery by-products returned to the farms to be fed hogs. Inf'Cted garbage, it is thought, is also to be held responsible for a .portion of the loss. Lazy men sit around on store boxes in town between meals, while their wives hustle to make living, are going to find life just a little different after the new law which went into effect April 20. Men who fail to provide for families, who desert their wives and children, who are afflicted with that tired feeling will not get a dose of Perura, but a dose of cold legislation that is they will be forced to exercise their muscles at a dollar per day for the county, and the money will be turned over to their spouse for household ex penses. John Badders, on Friday of last week, received a blank letter from seme party in Decatur containing two one dollar bills. John says he has no idea who the sender of the money could be as there was no writing o any kind to establish the idenity of the sender except the postmark on the envelope, but thinks it may be from seme one owing him for a long time and has became conscious stricken alter being converted at the Honeywell tabernacle meeting recently held in Decatur. If the party will send in his nr.me he will be given due credit tor money- received. —Monroe Reporter.
