FROM THE SUNNY SOUTH.

a ■ ■ • ( !• John C. Alter Writes a Descriptive Letter of Florida. Mlama, Florida, Dec. 29,1902. Editob Journal — This city Is situated upon tne Bay of Bisoayao, seven miles from the southeastern rim of the everglades. Through a gap, or cut as they call It, in the outer reel yon may see the wild waves of the Atlantio casting fiajjces of foam high in air six miles away. The gulf stream passes the coast Tor many miles and back to the overglades is stone, of coral formation. This rocky rim is the check that holds the water in the vast swamps of the everglades. The Miama river is a worn channel in the porous coral rock, and forms an ontlet when the waters are high in the rainy season, which occurs in August, September and October. The bay is about twenty-five miles long and is affected by the tides very perceptibly. Fish of almost every salt water variety are caught here in abundance. There are bnt few dneks in this vicinity yet. They will stop in northern and central Florida until later when the cold weather will drive them here; so it is with many tourists. There are bnt few alligators this for sooth. Deer are getting scarce in most parts of Florida. They may still be found, however, in limited quantities, west of Ontler, in the islands of the everglades, west of Lake Okeechobee, and in northwestern Florida. Land owners will not allow hunting in this vicinity and there is nothing bnt quails to hunt. The scavengers of the city are carrion crows and buzzards protected by law. This is an ideal winter resort/ beautiful hard white streets of crushed coral, electric lights, water works, magnificent hotels. The “Royal Palms” contains 800 rooms. Lovely parks, plats, walks and drives filled, lined and interspersed with the finest palms, pines, cedars, guavas, Florida bush-cranberries, oranges, lemons, limes, roses, pawpaws and hundreds of other tropical shrubs, all in stately grandeur. In the distance across the bay a beautiful picture is given by the live oaks, cypress and palm groves. There are a hundred bicycles on the street to one of any other vehicle. All groceries are delivered in this way and most other work; even surveyors carry the chain and do much other work on these smooth streets on the wheel. Many new orange groves are being started, bnt the great freeze all over the state in 1894 was a great check to this enterprise. There are some bananas growing here bnt many are shipped from Honduras. The oity is bnt six years old and still maintains a healthy “boom.” Work is plentiful and wages fair, bnt room rent and board bills are exhorbitant. John.E. Alter.

The Spirit of Winter.

The spirit of winter is with us, making its presence known in many differrent ways—sometimes by cheery sunshine and glistening snows, and sometimes by driving winds and blinding storms. To many people it seems to take a delight in making bad things worse, for rheumatism twists harder, twinges sharper, catarrah becomes more annoying, and the many symptoms of scrofula are developed and aggravated. There is not much poetry in this, but there is truth, and it is a wonder that more people don’t get rid of these ailments. The medicine that cures them—Hood’s Sarsaparilla—is easily obtained and there is abundont proof that its cures are radical and permanent. Yes, the Journal prints sale bills and has the best equipped office in Jasper county for doing this class of work. Qet our prices before placing your work.

Our Man About Town

Discourses on Many Subjects and Relates Sundry and Other Incidents.

rpHBS might have happened in the * J*aper oironit court—bat It didn’t. Connell—-“I Insist on an answer to my question. Yon have not told me *U the conversation. I want to know everything that passed between yon and Mr. Jones on the oooasion to whioh yon refor.” Reluctant Witness—"l’ve told yon everything of any consequence.” “You have told me that you said to him, 'Jones, this case will get into tee court some day.* Now* l want to know what he said in reply.” "Well, he said, 'Brown, there isn’t anything in this business that I’m ashamed Of, and if any snoopin’, little, yee-hawin’, four-by-six, gimlet-eyed lawyer, with a half a pound of brains and sixteen pounds of jaw, ever wants to know what I’ve been talking to yon abont, yon can tell him the whole story.’ ” v * * * TUTR. Devoe remarks in his way that ■*■***■ the year 1903 is likely to develop some very eccentric weather. Wa-al, now. If that isn’t the most astonishing remark we ever heard at Pumpkin Center. Then he goes on and in a very lucid way gives his ideas for January which we copy verbatim for the readers of the Jorunal. There will be drought in some section and too much rain In others. This unequal distribution is likely to cause severe local storms. lßt to 6th, snow or rain, followed by cold wave, moderating on the 6th. 7th to 9tb, a storm over the Mississippi Valley will cause local snow and rain storms, followed by cold wave from 10th to 11th. 12th to 15th, a storm will form over the lower Mississippi Valley and move northeastward, causing rain over the Gulf and South Atlantic States, and snow over the Northern and New England States. 16th to 19th, cold and blustery. 20th to 23rd, a storm will form over Texas and move northeastward, causing snow blockades over the Western States, and rain over the Southern and Eastern States. 24th to 27th, cold wave. 27th to 31st, a storm will scoot over the Gulf of Mexico and move up the Atlantic Coast, causing snow from Georgia to Maine, followed by a very cold wave. Protect orange trees. V A class in our city schools was Instructed to write an essay on ‘‘The Month,” and one boy produced the following: “The mouth is the front door of the face. It is the aperture of the cold storage of anatomy. It is the hot bed of toothache and the bnnghole of oratory. The month is the crimson isle to the river; it is the fountain of patriotism and the tool chest for pie. Without the month the politican would be a wanderer upon the face of the earth, and go down to a dishonored grave. It is the grooers’ friend and the dentists’ hope. It is the temptation lunch counter when attached to a pretty girl, and a tobacco fiend when attached to a man.” V

•pHE story is related that in the near ■“* by city of Remington a prominent family hired a new servant who was “used to work in the best families.” The man of the house had an experience a few evenings ago, however, which made him wish that he had tried the old kind of a girl. “No, de lady doan want no latest map ob Guby,’’ said the servant who had just been hired that morning, and had answered a vigorous ringing of the front door bell. He laughed and protested. “But I am not selling a map of Ouba. lam the—” “Well, she doan want no book ,bout de Philypines, needer,” insisted the very black girl with the very black

free. “Confound it, who aaldi anything abont books and Philippines?” he answered, slightly exhausted* “Doan yon oonfound me, man, kase I jess won’t tak* no aas. And fathermoh de lady ain’t got time terday ter Ink at de hfot’ry oh de late wah.” “Hang the warl I am—” “Oh yes, yohse de agent fer de pictar’ ob de battle ob Santyagy. Well, jiss go ’long tor de nex* house. We dqan need no new piotnr’s.” "Look here, girl,” and he made at the dOor in an effort to pnsh past her. “.Let me in here: Pm the owner of—” She grabbed him by the back of the neck, shook him as a dog wonld a rat and pitched him oat on the pavement. “How dare yer try ter enter dls here house ’oaten my premission?” she said, as she surveyed the wretch of humanity lying at the foot of the steps. “Es yonse de owner of de Porter Rioone sngar plantations yer oan’t sell no gold bricks ter dis family es long es I’se de confidenshell chambermaid here. Good day, sah,” and she went in and slammed the door. “That’s what a fellow gets for leaving his night key in his other pants pooket,” soliloquized the wreck, as he gathered himself up and went around to the back gate to try to get into bis house that way. TTTE notioed quite an editorial warning in a paper that comes frequently to our offioe. It ran as follows: “We take this early opportunity to correot an embarrasing error which crept into the last issue of this paper. We trust that the aggrieved patrons will speedily cease.to harbor resentment over the statement that many of the formers out way were suffering from hog cholera. The paragraph caused widespread excitement and three lickings; so, now, we ask each and every one to please read ‘hogs’ in place of ‘formars’ In that particular item.”

A Scientific Discovery.

Kodol does for the stomach that which it is unable to do for itself, even when but slightly disordered or overloaded. Kodol supplies the natural juices of digestion and doeß the work of the stomach, relaxing the nervous tension, while the inflamed musoles of that organ are allowed to rest and heal. Kodol digests what you eat and enables the stomach and digestive organs to transform all food into rioh red blood. Long’s Drug Store.

The February Designer.

The Designer for February provides for its many readers a store of good things in which are oleverly oombined practicability and attraetiveness. The latest fashionable features in millinery and dress are given prominent plaoe, but not to the ezolnsion of other matters, especially those in which womankind are particularly interested. The dosing chapters of “The Apology of Ayliffe,” Ellen Olney Kirk’s charming love story, are given in this number; so too are two delightful short stories, “Cupid’s Aids, 1 * by Qulielma Zollinger, and ‘Genella,” by Virginia Rudder Grnndy. “ Women in the New Business Life,’’ by Waldon Fawcett, and the highly entertaining and instructive department “What Women are Doing” show conclusively that the feminine sex are usurping some of the laurels heretofore awarded to their fathers, brothers and husbands. A concluding paper op “Attractive Corners” is furnished by Mary Kilsyth, and Adelia B. Beard contributes an odd and clever parlor drama, “Good Will Conquer After All.** Among the shorter articles are “The Thoughts of Tiny Folk,” by Bertha BL Bush, “Tired Errors and OverwodMl Eloquence,” by Lowber Craig, sad “The Passing of the Rag Bag,” by Haryot Holt Oahoon. Many beautiM fancy-work designs are given month, crochet, lace and embroidery all being represented, and Valentine poetry and suggestions for Valentine entertainments give a specially seasonable air to its pages. “Fashions and Fabrics,” “Points on Dressmaking,** “Toilet Table Chat,” “Etiquette Hints,” “Book Notes,” “In Mother, land,” “Helps Along the Way,” “Floriculture” and “The Kitchen Kingdom” are among the regular departments of The Designer and ana all of unusual interest this nuaubcc. Mourning attire Is made a special feature among the fashions.
