At Icemorlee Sun day Mr. Snider baptized eighteen rersons. Little dure lirown, daughter of Mr. John W. Brown, who lives at the Shannon place three fourths of a mile noiu town on the Griffith road, was attacked Wednesday morning on the , ji'iblio road about the city limits. Her sailant was a white boy, judged to he about fifteen years old. Clure Is thirteen. At ten thirty she hafl start -! to town with some other children hut stopped at the residence of Mr, Ayers for another companion, while the other children ciuue on. Finding that the one she had stopped for vould not come, she walked on to catch up with the others. Along where the old pest house stood she .-aw a boy sitting by the road. He accosted her, seized her. put a hand kerchief in her mouth and dragged her into the grain field. She pulled the handkerchief out of her mouth and screamed. About this time the boy desisted and told her that if she told anybody he would certainly kill her, and scampered off. She did not know him but thinks she would rec ognize him. The affair Is being In estigated. The child was scratched about the neck and face and badly shocked. Such a thing in boad day light, on what is practically a pumic street, was never before heard of here. It is not often the case that a man holds one office as long as he wishes to and voluntarily retires and is men elected to another one In the same locality before he get well out of the nrst. But this is tne nne experience nf Mr. John Griffith. Mr. Griffith came out of the office of sheriff as nooular as he went in. He has been elected Mavor of Monroe and his friends expect him to turn the same trick tn that office. And he does not keep hi popularity by administering sugar coated pills to every man he meets, which is the usual idea of pop ularity. He retains It by reason of the confidence the people have In his Interrlty and sincerity. He is one man who saya exactly what he thinks always, does like tie pleases, ana is h same kind of man after election as before. That is why the people like him. But we did not start out tn rive Mr. Griffith a "boost." be cause to needs none. But we did start out to say this: He Is our may or. We all know that he Is a man of great energy and sound Judgment, that he is as honest as anybody. Now let's help him to be the very best kind of mayor, and help him to make us a better town. The "new board" like all the other boards that we have had. Is going to do the best It can. Nobody need expect It to do any more than the others have towards supply ing the best needs of the town, for this can never be done until we have a different system of town govern ment. But they are all honest and earnest men; let'i co-operate, with them, and help them to give the town the best of service. Let'a not criti cise unnecessarily, let's pull forward and not back. Encourage the board, encourage the mayor. Merely elect ing one sot of men to office doesn't give good government. The work Is then only started. Officials are al ways about as good as public senti ment requires them to be and no more. Florida Phone' 195. GRIFFIN Mr. M. F. Blakeney of Altheima.

The Journal is requested to say that the city banks will be closed on Monday, that day being a legal holiday. Judge W. O. Lemmond is a man with the real sport man's blood. He says be got bis money's worth at the Chautauqua the first night and all after that Is pure profit. her ices will be held at Allan Presbyterian church, tonight, on Sat urday at eleven o'clock, on Saturday night, and on Sunday morning at eleven, followed at the last hour with communion service. The board of school trustees of the city held a meeting this morning and re-elected Mr. D. A. Houston chair man for another year. I'rof. W. K. Moore was re-elected superintendent of schools. The board will meet Monday for the purpose of electing the teachers for the various grades. Mr. E. G. Faust has refitted his bar ber shop in a most attractive way. Good or bad taste is as apparent in the turnishings of a barber shop as in an art gallery, and Mr. Faust has hit the right side. The chairs are the latest sanitary models and the other furniture is of birch wood and marble. From the attractive electric sign on the front to the shine chair everything is as nice as can be and Is a credit to his business. "You would not permit a guano factory in town, would you?" excluim Mr. Dixon last night In his lecture. Nay, nay, Mr. Dixon, we would not. But permit guano warehouses to "e hca("d right around the public aii::ire. i::h1 if any one wauled t3 lo a J' li an List Hut ion right on the p.ihlic l-wn there is nothing to pre i; m i-i'int; it. or course we have i l vv against ruano warehouses bv '.i". loialed around tin squire but j.nj'ly has he.-'n fcoll: h enough to : attention to that. Mr. Frank Dixon's lecture last night on town needs was tin true doctrine and the things whic'j we must come to before we h.ive towns that are fit places to live. Our little- old town Is Just like every other little old town built upon ignorance and carelessness. . Let's paste Mr. Dixon's three great points in our hats and continue to talk about them. The points: A town building plan by which a beautiful place may be sub stituted for the ordinary hodge podge: a real health department: and a real public school system At a Joint meeting of the board of aldermen of the eity of Monroe and the county commissioners this morn ing. Mr. J. D. MrUae was elected Re corder to succeed Mr. 11. B. Adams Jr.. resigned. The other applicants for the office were . O. Lemmond C. U. Harden and M. L. Flow. Mr. Adams resigned in order to give more at lent ion to his law business. Being a partner with Mr. Frank Armlleld Mr. Adams will be more needed In the law office since the death of- his father. Mr. Adams was elected by the people and he made a good Re corder. The common exp-ession is that the Chautauqua program already giv en has been worth more than the whole cost, and the prugram has not much more than fairly been started Each number Is an entertainment of the very highest class. While all are by the very best artists in their line, the variety Is such that every indi vidual in the audience gets an abunin dance of entertainment, no matter how his tastes may differ from oth ers. It is a great means of adapt ing the product of the most skillful musician, the flnesMhlnkers, and the moU gifted orators and performers to the needs of an average communi ty. The outlook Is so broad, the sug gestion so fine, the spirit for good things so infectious, that the occasion Is bound to mean a great awakening and a forward movement In Mon roe.
