" » We arrived in Jacksonville, Fla., alt­ er two days' and two nights' ride on the Dixie Flyer of the C. & E. 1. rail way. Jacksonville is a beautiful city situated on the eastern coast of Florida, four miles inland on the St. James river. It has a population of 70,000 inhabitants, 40,000 of which are negroes. It was qaite a change to discard our overcoats and even feel warm in our shirt sleeves, and to see palms and flowers of all kinds in abundance. Going put to the Atlantic ocean, we spent several hours in swim ming and sitting on the beach. If cer tain I y was great. After a two weeks' stay in Jackson viile, We took a boat ride down the his­ toric old St. James river, passing the old fort erected by the Spanish in the sixteenth century. We stopped off at St. Augustine, the oldest town in the United States. Leaving pprfc at 8 p. m., we saw as pretty a sunset as w4 have ever witnessed. As we steamed on thru the night we conld see alligators by the hundred, blinking their eyes in the moonlight. Thousands of these reptiles are taken from this river annually, the old ones being shot thru the eyes, as the ball will not penetrate the shell. They are being hanted at night only. The night was a most beantifnl one, and thru the kindness of the captain of the vessel, I was' told many interesting facts regarding the peninsula. The next morning found us both on deck at 4 a> in.*, and what we saw more than paifl us for arising so early. Orange groves on either side; pineapples ^nd the Kreen foliage glittering with dew was a sight to behold. Hundreds of wild I neks arose and tlew within fifty feet of the boat. Arriving at Sanforil, Fla*, we spent, several days picking oranges off the trees and eating ripe pineapples. Our next stop was at Tampa, Fla., a city mf fifMKMI population, one half of which are negroes. Tampa is another beautiful city, bnt it has been intensely hot there the last two months. We remained in Tatn pa three weeks and then sailed across the Gulf of Mexico, landing at Mobile, Ala , after a four days' trip on the gnlf. Hoping that this letter finds all well, and wtyh a promise to write more later, I am, ~ Truly yours, O. B. GILBERT. The Lurid Glow of Doom * wafi Been in the red face, hands and body of the little son of H. M. Adams, of Henrietta, Pa. His awfnl plight from eczema had, for five years, defied all remedies and baffled the best doctors, who said the poisoned blood had affect­ ed his lungs and nothing could save him. "But," writes his mother, "seven bottles of Electric Bitters completely cured him." For Eruptions, Eczema, Salt Rheum, Sores and all Blood Disor­ ders and Rheumatism Electric Bitters is supreme.

HANLY BKOS. ebilorflrw Woodstock Republican: Among the pledges made to the people by Attorney David It. Joslyn in his primary cam­ paign was one to the effeet that if elect­ ed he would prosecute i in partially all violations of the present stAtntelaw, in­ cluding the local option law, that came properly before him, and another to the Kjlw.t that he would turn over to the county superintendent of schools all funds derived front fines that, properly belonged to the schools of the county. These two promises Mr. Joslyn is making good. At the recent term of the circuit court he fearlessly prose­ cuted violaters o^ laws, among th& ntftn- lwr being several infractors of the 1<WK1 option law at Harvard, from whom heavy fines were extracted by the conrt. On March 4 Mr. .Toslyn presented to Superintendent Conn and Judge Smiley his first quarterly report, showing fines received and fees due the attorney, and turned over to the county superintend­ ent a check for $2H 1.4)7, the amount due, and Judge Smiley approved the report and allowed thf? fees 111 usual fosrm. There were in the report twelve items of receipts and fifty-eight charges of fces, embracing the amounts allowed by the statutes for the state's attorney's services in various courts of the county 11 behalf of the people, which services have been well and skillfully performed, with results that are now of record. This report by State's Attorney Jos- lyn is highly - gratifying to his many friends thrnont the county, as well as to those who were not his supporters. who like to se§ a public official do as he agrees, and if be continues thru- oat his term as he has begun, as there is no doubt that he will, there will be no jnestion as to his unanimous re-election to this important office. Mr. Joslyn has the native and ac­ quired ability and the fearlessness to make an ideal state's attorney, and a determination to make good is highly reditable to his good sense, and the fact will be recognized by the people in a substantial manner. In justice to a faithful public official (and The Republican hopes it will never be backward in this regard) we give the facts above stated, which we know will be gratifying to the people pf the coun­ ty, no matter what their political af filiations or bias may be. in this so decep- ive. Many sudden ieaths are caused by it--heart dis­ ease, pneumonia, heart failure or r apopl«?xy are often the result of kid- I ney diseksfr. If | Icidney trouble is _ allowed to advance t he kiuney-poison- - -- fed blood will at­ tack the vital organs, causing catarrh of the bladder, brick-dust or sediment in the urine, head aclie, back ache, lame back, dizziness, sleeplessness, rervous- ness, "or tlie kidneys themselves break down and waste away cell by cell. Bladder troubles almost always result from a derangement of the kidneys and better health in that organ is obtained quickest by a proper treatment of the kid­ neys. -Swamp-Root corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of Ix.isnj compelled to go often through the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and immediate effect of Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is soon realized. It stands the highest be­ cause of its remarkable health restoring properties. A trial will convince anyone. $Sv/amp-R.oot is pleasant to take and is so!& by all druggists in fifty-cent and one-dollar size bottles.
