FINE AND VALUABLE TOBACCO

Some people think any old kind of I

cabbage leaf does for wrappers forI

smokers but if they would call aroundand see the material that Mr Charles i

Peyxcr puts into his fine smokers theywould soon note it takes a pile of

i money to buy a bale of extra Sumatrawrapping tobacco A bale of 147pounds costs without duty 243 and-

oI

< the duty on same is 319 but then thefilling these wrappers encase is no

SF small matter in itself Probably Mr

Peyseris the only cigar manufacturer-In the state whrj uses so expensive ag wrapper Speaking of the Quincy to ¬

bacco display at the State Fair madeby Mr Ward of that section Mr Praid that tobacco is almost as highpriced as any leaf in the marketshowing the virtues of Florida soil

r7 for growing tobacco

THE WOMEN DID ITs

I

150 plates were laid for the BankersBanquet Friday night at St Peters-burg

¬

Twenty negro waiters had beeni engaged for the nights service at top-

notcht prices but instead of respondingpromptly kept the guests waning half

r an hour and then the twenty negroes+

+ marched out to the dining room anda demanded an extra IJO for the nights

work Without a word twentyfive wo-

men¬

rof the Village Improvement So-

ciety¬

t headed by Mrs Wood their presi-dent murclkHl out into the cookery-and began serving their guests when

jt I a gallant banker seeing what wa upcalled on his comrades for volunteers

tom and every man at the table rose forservice It is needless to add that thenegro in the woodpile fell to himself

ys and was ordered to march out But allhonor to the loyal women of St Peters-burg

¬

who seeng a crisis rose to th-eroccasion and rode it safely through Is

in it any wonder today that this incident-is the theme of every tongue whose eyehas read of the banquet proceedings

Sweet Briar in the Banner ap-t peals to Editor Harris to come to the

support of General Albert Gilchrist for1 governor and to be good and kind toour young and impulsive senator WJ BTyan We are confident we canname who Sweet Briar is and Gen-

eral¬

Gilchrist should feel honored bysuch substantial support a support

IM that means influence and votes and ifhehsi enough Sweet Briars pverthen state such as sing his praises in

f Marion he is the next governor ofFlorida sure as shootingt

I

l Think of it fifteen thousand people I

looked on admiringly and applauded I

Vigorously the George Washington celef bratkm by the 1100 pupils of the Stu° Petersburg school Saturday What 1

other town or city in Florida or anyI

other state can make a similar show-ing

¬ I

All of which Is said to eminatefrom Mr Tomlinson the patron saint-ofr the St Petersburg school who

f deems it a sacred duty to teach theyoung a love of country and he sure is I

4 siding in doing that great and gloriousj work down in that section of the state-

S

J All honor to all concerned for so glor-ious

¬

a day for the renewing of so glor-ious

i a memory as that of the Father-of his fCountryt

If-

f Editor Jordan of the Punta Gordatti Herald has a good word to say of HonilH J C Crompton superintendent of pubft lie instruction for Lake county because

7 he aspires tobe state superintendent ofrtei s schools And why not as Editor Jor-

dan has known Mr Crompton for aI i quarter of a century and knows him to-

tw be etninently qualified for the position-

in in every particular fofi the workM
