We have had fine weather here this winter with the exception of a few cool nights. There has been plenty of rainjor

this time of the year,, more than usual for this country. Garden truck is doing ,well. I have planted garden the second time and the last planting is doing fine. This is a fine section for all kinds of citrus fruits, but there is not much good truck land in this immediate vicinity. Eustis is a fine resort situated on the shores of Lake Eustis, which is seven miles across. This town is 300 feet above sea level and forty feet above the surface of the lakes. Lake county is traversed by the highlands of the state and dotted with the most beautiful clear, deep water lakes, and in the center of of this is Eustis. ■ I am located on Dr. C. L. Chase s place, two and one-half miles from

Eustis and the same distance from Tavares, the county seat. This place is called Mt. Homer, and is a flag station on the place. This is a nice place for a town and a portion of it was laid out into lots at one time, but they failed to boom it, and now all that is left is the resider ce I live in, which is a good one. The place is adjoining a fine lake and is in sight of Lake Eustis. The doctor has a good boat on the lake and that makes it handy for me to fish. I have had several good meals of bass, (which they call trout here). The doctor has a fine orange and grape fruit grove here. His orange crop is estimated at 1,500 boxes. He had some fine grape fruit, but I have shipped nearly all of that. We have plenty left for our own use for some time. We also have lemons, tangarines and bananas to use, and will have oranges until May. I am one of the consumers in that line, it was in the contract that I was to have all the fruit I could consume (eat). This is a fine place to winter and I like it very much, and the main feature about it is I think it is one of the healthiest places in the state.” Democratic Caucus. The Democratic caucus held in the office of Butt & Xanders on Saturday last, though only fairly attended in point of numbers, due to /the inclement weather, was never theless productive of excellent results. Those present were very enthusiastic over the presidential possibilities for the coming campaign, and made no effort to conceal their pleasure that such was the case. The iniquitous tariff formed the chief topic of the general discussion which followed the election of Geo. L. Xanders as chairman of the meeting, on, which Dr D. S. Hontz gave a short talk. A resolution was passed endorsing the old time-honored battle cry of the Democratic party—“tariff for revenue only.” It was generally conceded that on this plank alone the Democratic party would elect the next president of these United States. The following precinct committeemen Were elected for the various precincts: First precinct, Di. Geo. 0. Smith; second, B. F. Heopingarner; third, Eston E. McClintic. There being no further business, the caucus adjourned. Embroidery Sale. I will place on Sale, Saturday January 13, THOUSANDS of yards of New Embroidery at about half price.

SYRACUSE, INDIANA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 11, 1912.

NAPPANEE REGISTERS KICK, SYRACUSE GETS NEW DEPOT The B. & 0. train schedule recently adopted for Nappanee is about as “rotten” as it ever has been. Two local trains a day, east. People who want to go east any distance must take a local train to Garrett or some other point where they have train service and await another train. This t is a reminder of the promises made by the B. & O. representative with a member of the state commission and a committee of citizens who met on common grounds here in respect to the road’s treatment of Nappanee in certain directions. It is passing strange that Nappanee, a town which pays this railroad company more money than any town between Chicago and Chicago Junction, Ohio, should have to beg, plead and fight for everything the town gets which is due it in train service.—Nappanee News. The Journal takes exceptions to the statement above made by the Nappanee News with reference to more money being paid the railroad company by that town than any other town between Chicago and Chicago Junction, Ohio. The Journal is reliably informed that Syracuse pays the company more than any TWO stations between Chicago and Garrett, and all we ask for is a new modem passenger station, which we hope to get this coming season without the aid of the Railroad Commission. We have needed a new passenger station, as well as an adequate freight station for a number of years, and our Agerit has made good promises all along, the latest being that we sWlhave these improvements this coming season, or as soon as the double tracking through our town is completed, and we hope he knows what he is talking about and we won’t be put off any longer. Warner-Grey. Russell Warner and Miss Lily Grey were quietly united in marriage at Milford, Friday, December 22, 1911, oy Rev. W. K. McClendon. Both of the young people were residents on the south side of Lake Wawasee near Vawter Park, and are respected by all who know them. The young couple will make their home with the grooms parents Mr. and Mrs. M. L. Warner. The Journal with cheir wide circle of friends wish for' them happiness and success. Prof. Buchhein, music teacher of Indiana University died at his home in Bloomington Wednesday, January 3rd. Mr. Buchheim was a music teacher of rare ability and many of our readers have had the pleame of hearing play at Winona. Arnold Beckman had about two years instructions in music under Prof Buchheim. Work has been stopped at the S. P. C. Companies clay pit and their railroad and also at the railroad bridge and the grade on account of the extreme cold. A child of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Rink is quite sick with the chicken pox.

OUR SPECIAL WEEKLY WASHINGTON LEUER From time to time one will see in the papers references to the use of glass for street paving, and Uie inference is unavoidable that ®e time is near when we shall use glass, not only to pave the streets, but to build houses and to supplant almost every other material for almost every other use. This promise is given something of a blow by recent consular reports to the effect that a factory in France to make glass paving blocks has failed and gone out of business. What the printers and publishers of the country are doing has been made the subject Os a special bul-. letih by the Census Bureau, which finds that there are 22,143 publications in the country, with an aggregate circulation of 165,468,190 copies per issue. Os these 2,502 are dailies (exclusive of Sunday), with an aggregate circulation of 24,217,127, and 15 097 are weeklies, with an aggregate circulation of 40,822,- i 965. With all due respect to the j Census Bureau if it has really es-' tablished these facts it has done something no other agency has ever i been able to accomplish. ■. It seems pretty certain now that i Col. Roosevelt will be a candidate for the presidential nomination. President Taft will not strike his colors m advance of the convention, i it is said, so there will be a pretty J trial of strength between the two. It seems just now as if the one who will suffer the most by the recrudescence of Rooseveltism will be LaFollette. As for other candidates. there are few worth mentioning at present in the ranks of the Republican party: Among the Democrats the situa= cion is still unchanged. Wilson, Clark and Harmon continue to be the most discussed. Bryan has a very strong influence and it seems to be felt that without his indorsement no man can get the Democratic nomination. He is friendly to Clark, but he has been somewhat lukewarm toward the Missourian of late. Nevertheless, Clark seems to be growing steadily if gradually, while some of his rivals are losing ground. Take it all in all, the situation is one of absorbing interest to all students of politics. President D. C. Collier of the Pan-ama-California Exposition is rapidly, but carefully, building up a great organization for the Exposition. There was considerable surprise manifested when he succeeded in getting John A. Fox to leave the National Rivers and Harbors Congress and cast the weight of his acquaintance and energy with the Exposition. Mr. Fox for five and one-half years was special director of the Rivers and Harbors Congress, where his technical skill as a civil engineer was a great help to him in his work. It is said that on the shoulders of Mr. Fox, more perhaps than on those of any other man, rested the responsibility of working up and maintaining interest in the waterways program. He is a native of Louisiana, and his acquaintance throughout the South has often proved of great aid in the working out of his plans. He will be in Washington for some weeks in close consultation with President Collier. 'Together they will map out a program which will engage the undivided attention of the new commissioner-at-large. For Sale—One medium size Cary 1 safe, in excellent condition, being j practically new. Too small for our purposes. Butt & Xanders. I A good stock of new pianos al- i ways on hand at Rothenherger’s.

Fine Detective Work. i “Man acting suspicious, had bloody suit case, refused to let people touch gunny sack he was carrying, i Cair seat was sprinkled. Left train at South Berid. Investigate. Such was the telegram received i by the South Bend police department from the head offices of the | Lake Shore railway. Special Officer i Reed of the Lake Shore at South Bend received a similar message. Investigations started immediatly. It was found that a man and woman who boarded the train in Michigan, had bought a hog cheap and portions of it into a suit case. Blood from the hog had peen bottled for the purpose of making blood sausage. On the train the the bottles broke and blood soaked 1 the car set cushions. Hence the i. mystey. Goshen Democrat. Important. The next regular meeting of the I. 0. O. F. will be held January 16 1912. Important business, also in--Ist all at ion and degree work. Each member is especially requested to be present. f A. E. Snavely, Secy. i W. D. Smith of Huntington, a 1 traveling salesman, while making j this town last week, spent a night ! and day with his cousin W. F. j Smith at his country home south ;of town. The cousins had not been | togather for thirty years and their \ visit togather was much enjoyed.
