AN AW.E LEGISLATOR.
"In this issue appears the announce
ment of Senator Flournoy for Congress
man from the Third District. Senator
Floiiiiioy lives at DeFuuiuk Springs and Is
considered one of the strongest members
of the bar in West Florida. Ho lias rep.
resented his district in the Stute Senate
and on the floor of the Senate demonstra
ted thnt he was as able a legislator ashas
been sent to Tallahassee. He Is a very
able man, and has courage to spare. It
was he who threw down the gauntlet to
Oovemor Gilchrist In the lost session and
for several days had diplomatic relations
off between the Senate and the Gover
nor's office." Havana News.
PLATFORM CLEARLY DEFINED.
"Win W. Flournoy has announced else
where in these columns as a candidate
for Congressman of the Third District. His
announcement is forcible and his platform
clearly defined. We shall have the plea
sure of hearing him speak to voters dur
ing the campaign" Graceville Advertiser.
FLATTERING VOTE IN HOLMES.
"Col. W, W. Flournoy formal announ
cement for Congress from the third dis
trict appears in doublc-coldmn form in
this issue of the Advertiser and we ask
our readers to look it up. Col. Flournoy is
no stranger to the people of Holmes
county and there is no doubt but what
he will receive a flattering vote in this
part of the district." Bonifay Advertiser,
BEST MAN FOR REPRESENTATIVE.
"Col. Wm. Flournoy has his announce
ment in this Issue. Read it carefully and
note the difference in t.ie ring of the way
he add e ses the people and the stereo
typed' old form of the other two. He goes
abjut his business at all times In a busi
ness like way, always using the best of
language, and his ability is not to be
questioned, for be is today adjudged one
of the best posted men in the State, and
if the people will follow after his talk
through the press from time to time it
will be an easy matter to see that he is
far the superior and the best man of the
three to represent the people of this dis
trict in Congress. He Is more than en
titled to the position and he is going to
win." Laurel HiU News.
A VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN,
"Hon. Wm. W. Flournoy of DeFuniak
Springs, was In our city Tuesday in the
interest of his candidacy for Congress.
The Colonel looks well and says he will
make vigorous campaign from now un

ment." Milton Gazette.
ENERGETIC AND SYSTEMATIC.
"See the announcement on another
page of Hon. W. W. Flournoy, of De
Funiak Springs for the Third District.
Mr. Flournoy has been considered a prob
able candidate for some time. His abil
ity is general conceded and his energetic
and systematic manner of doing things
makes him a formidable rival of the other
aspirants for the honor." Vernon News.
WILL BE SUCCESSFUL IN THIS TOO.
"Elsewhere in this issue will be found
the formal announcement of Col. W. "iV
Flournoy, of DeFuniak Springs, as a can

Entertainment was
Good.
The entertainment given at
the Opera House on last Satur
day evening by Mrs. Win. Cal
vin Chilton, the monodram
ist, which was the fourth num
ber of the Woman's Club Ly
ceum Course, was attended by
a large audience and heurfjiy
enjoyed by all.
Mrs. Chilton chose "Polly of
the Circus" ami with perfect
ease she passed from one of
the thirteen characters to an
other. Her delineation of the
minister was exceptionally
good, also of Polly and the
old negro woman.
The Woman's Club, and the
town in general, were indeed
fortunate in having the plea
sure of hearing Mrs. Chilton.
Tomato Club.
For several years much attention
has been paid in somfe parts of the
South to Boys' Com Clubs. This
has resulted in untold improvement
wherever tried.
As has been announced before in
these columns, a corn club has been
organized in Madison County. There
are now nearly sixty boys enrolled
and a few more are to join..
The Department of Agriculture
. nr v i . btnrf..n,kAn,n,
in Washington is taking up the mat-
6 .......
ter of tomato work for the girls and
has arranged through the efforts of
Supt G. W. Tedder and Mr. J. S.
Cobb to have some Girls' Tomato
Clubs at a kw places in the county,
M T H HI.Wn l,ou Kaon onnnlnl.
ea to assist in organizing mcso
cMs and to assist the girls in the
canning of their vegetables at the
proper season. Any one interested
in this work can secure fuller infor
mation from Supt. Tedder. Mr.
CobU, or Mre. Bishop.
It is necessary for both the corn
and tomato work to be started very
soon. The boys should break their
land at once with a two horse plow,
if they have not already done so.
The girls should get their tomato
seed bedded so as to have plenty of
plants at the earliest time to set
out The Department of Agricul
tufe will furnish plenty of seed to
all the girls. They should get
their names in soon, however, so as
to get the seed in plenty of time.
