The press of the state has considera
ble to say about the aid counsel who
prosecuted thr claim of the state I
against the old F C P K R now i I
thy Seaboard Air Line and th pay j
nient of hack taxes amounting to over j
6 00i which claim dates hack some I
twenty odd years but none had more
I
to do with lighting the claim to finish
I
that Attorney General W B Lamar
I
now th accomplish Congressman
from the third district Kest Florida
1 Ce knew he was present before the I
S supreme court each time the ease
I
was up Im hearing and plead for the
states inter st and was untiring in his
official capacity to collect the claim
rind has succeeded for which as a
faithful efficient and able attorney
general lie deserves credit and in our
way of thinking he had more to < Io I
with collecting the claim than any at I
torney runncctcd with it We are I
pleased to note the states success but
I
cant help remarking what a pile of
money it costs the state to collect a j
just claim from a powerful corpora I
tion They fought it to a finish and
Ml no stone unturned in their desper
ate efforts to evade the payment of the
same The Star would like to know
just what it did cost the state to col
lect the claim Ve are of the opinion
that of the fi Mli fully half of it can I
lie charged to expense account

glues in this county in four days
iiumterville Times
Now this statement if all right and
We would not for a pretty take any of
I
the honors of these sales from Mr Da

an Al persuader and promoter in his
line but there are others who had a
hand in these deals notably J < I

also a high ranker as a salesman who
was with Mr Davis on this successful
trip and who put in some vocative mu
sic too nor must we forget Captain

and points out certain eligible persons
farmers and truckers who are likely
to need improved fanning implements l

If you are troubled with indigestion
get a bottle of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure

Dyspepsia Cure was recommended and
I used a few bottles of it and it is the
only thing that has relieved me Would
not be without it Have doctored with
I
local physicians and also at Chicago
and even went to Norway with hopes I
of getting some relief but Kodol Dys
pepsia Cure is the only remedy that
has done me any good and I heartily
recommend it Every person suffering
with indigestion or dyspepsia should I
use it Sold by Wm Anderson

I
A case in point is a little tea party two
bright chubby tuts indulged in the oth
er day in Otahi Thy had heard their I
mothers talking about making tea j
I
cake s and one dav while these mothers I
i
j were having a social chat the children I
impaired to the home of the visiting
mother near by invaded the pantry I
and kitchen and began their baking op
erations They first seemed a pound of
tea poured it in a pan then added to
I that a goodly quantity of cottolene a
bottle of vanilla extract some rosewater
I
tel salt and a plenty of water which
I hey proceeded to stir with the vigor of
a true mixologist This part of the task I
I was about completed and they were I
I
II seeking the Hour barrel to add that I
ingredient to make the tea dough of
the proper consistency when the ab
sence of the children was noted and a
search was made for them and they
were found deep in the mysteries of
preparing to bake a tea cake Con
sternation reigned for a moment at the
I
invasion of the mothers and in the excitement
I
citement that followed a beautiful tea
cup was wrecked When questioned
how it happened one of the little ones
persisted she did not break it The
mother demanded to know how it hap
pened Why mamma sobbed the
little one I just looked at it it was
so pretty it just failed off of the ta
ble and broked If an artist could
have witnessed that teacake bake and
caught all the lights and shadows of
the wonderful performance what an
interesting picture it would have pro
duced worth its weight in gold
