VIRTUE OF A. DEED IN TlifST executed to me by Otway Le aurt wife regred in Book of Mor No 32 at page 317, I shall on Mofev the 2nd day of Marcb, 1896, offer for jl to the bluest bidder at the courthouse door in Oxford, tue lowing lota of land: One lot bounded as follows, beginning at Jos.

They certainly have a right to be proud of Daytona as it is one of the most attractive places we saw in Florida. The train arrived at Palm Beach about 9 o'clock after a rapid run of 200 miles, some 75 of which was along the great Indian River and the editors were ushered into another one of Mr.

Flagler's Hotels, the Royal Ponceana, fitted up in the most luxuriant style with all the modern improvements. The hotel has aa electric plant of its own, and it takes over 5,000 incan destant lights to light it up at night. This mamouth house, situated as it is nearly 300 miles South of St. Augustine, is entirely different in the architecture from the celebrated Ponce de Leon at St. Augustine, being built in the "Old Colonial" style, and yet in its own way it is hardly less beautiful.

The site of this latest er3ction is a strip of land about half a mile wide, with Lake Worth on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other, a strip which, as as it is covered with palms, is fitly christened "Palm Beach," while the Hotel itself takes the Princely other professions, men who have the same calling must of necessity have interests in common, and that whatever of ability be enlisted in journalism tends to raise the character and influence of the whole profession. Consider the position of the editors and their power for good or evil. Ten thousand papers, counting big and Utile the great city papers and the small weeklies in the country may perhaps not nave on an average more than a thousand subscribers each, but eyen that would make a total of ten millions and as with every subscriber who has a family there are probably two or three rea ders besides himself, the grand total swells to thirty or forty, or possibly fifty millions of readers, so that the newspapers have almost the whole population of the country for their constituency Mr. H. M.

Field, in the New York Evangelist, in writing about the Na tional Convention says: "Observation of this convention of journalists has given me a higher opinion of the profession, and of the men who com pose its rank and file throughout the countrv. Minerling with the crowd dova Hotel, and Mr. A. O. Bonwell, of Danville, N.

the accomplished President, called the eleventh annual convention of the National Editorial-association to order and called upon the Rev. Dr. S. Hamilton Day, of Grace M. E.

church, St. Augustine, to invoke the divine blessing upon the editors and their companions and friends. Mayor Henry Gaillard then welcomed the National Editorial association and Florida Press association, and introduced the Rev. J. N.

MacGonigle, pastor of the Presbyterian Memorial church, St. Augustine, who arose and said: He esteemed it a double welcome that wa conferred upon him; that lie stood as a representative of the of the city and a so of the citizens of St. Augustine, and on their behalf he extended to the National Editorial association the heartiest welcome that it was possible for the citizens to give. 'We welco-ue you," said he, to the oldest city in North America. Fifty-five years before the Pilgrim Fathers landed upon Plymouth Rock St.

FEU. IS6 THE NATIONAL EDITOIiS. MEET AT ST. AUGUSTINE, FLA. Pencil Pushers Royally Entertained The Word Welcome Greeted the Editors on Every Hand.

We were one of the knicrhts of (be pen of grand old North Carolina that represented the State Association, along with the polished II. London, of the Chatham Record, the popular J. B. Shernll, of the Concord Times, Rev. W.

L. GrUsom, tho great leyer behind the Christian Advocate, and the warm-hearted and pleasant R. A. Dca of the Wilkes-boro Chronicle. We were a baud of brothers and native to the soil, and wore with pride the badge of North Carolina among the great body of men representing as they did 43 States and 12 Territories.

In most cases the editors were accomptiied by their wives, and as to our delegation, Mrs. Shernll and Mrs. Grissom had charge of their old men, whiie Miss Lucy, the accomplished and graceful daughter of Mr. Londou. claimed his attention.

Col. Doai was alone but hopes before leap yea; shall fade away his sweet dreams ot wedded bliss will realized as he is on the carpet full-fledged and mis ceptible to the charms of lovely women. Our route to Florida was over the splendidly equipped Southern lil way and its connection, the Florida Central and Peninsula Railroad, by way of Charlotte, Columbia and Savannah. The Southern Florida Limited is one of the handsomest most comfortable trains that ever slipped over the rails, making quick time with but few stops. Oar first stoppintr place was at Jacksonville, the great Metropolis of Florida, where we found a bustling city on the beautiful St.

John river of inhabitants, with all modern improvements as to electric cars, well paved streets, magnificent hotels, homelike and quiet, large wholesale houses and a busy population. This is a great winter resort and thous ands of people from the North spend the cold season in this lovely city. We ventured into the big building of the Times-Uniou, the paper of Florid i. and soon ound our-self in the editorial room and to our great surprise felt the warm grasp of a genuine Tar Heel who prov to be Mr. H.

G. Myrover, of Fayctte-ville, N. C. He is on the editorial staff of the paper, and a polished, fluent writer, and is doing well in the Land of iowers, Southern iu warmth and Northern in yigor. The Times-Uuion in extending a welcome to the representatives of the craft of this country says: The Nationa' Press Association will meet in bt, Augustine this week, and the mem-bers are the representative men of the different sections fromVhich they hail.

Probably no other organization in Uie country embraces a membership as wideawake and as capable ot impartial udgnifciit as these knights of the p-n. They are men, a'niust without exception, who keep fully posted on current affairs, and who have given the best work of their lives fur the ot the public, most often, ala! to a.ly utiappreeiaU d. A great majority of these dt legates are editors of weekly papers pub. ished in every section of the country. While the great dailies wield a power that is a'rnost inco r-prehnsible, the vast number of weeklies in the couutry have an aggregate power that is almost even greater, and as a general rule their editors are men of bih moral character and unimpeachable Integrity.

These scribes are with us now, and their impressions of Florida arid her people wid be spread broadcast over the nent during the few weeks foi; their visit. Ltt us entertain them royal and show to them, in every possible way, the natural advantages of the State. Wherever they go they should be received as honored guests, and the best we have shouid be served to them without stint. To these editors, these members of the press to whom the country vesthe perpetuation of its institutions of highest civilization, the intelligence of its citizens, and die upouiiding of iis commerce and international trade, the Time-Union, on behalf of trie state lorida, extenas a greeting, cordial and sincere. a' From Jacksonville we went to the quaint old city of St.

Augustine, with grand and imposing hoteis, surrounded by grounds full of tropical plants. On the arrival of the editors they found the town in gala attire; flags were flying everywhere, and everything presented a holiday appearance, even to the people, who were in their Sunday dresses. Business was almost entirely suspended to see that the keys of the city were presented to the visitors, and that they should have a kind remembrance of the hospitality that can be afforded by the Ancient City. The editors were driven to the various hotels, where they were assign ed rooms for their stay. After din ner, they scattered through all of the quaint old streets, and meandered Eastward, Westward, Southward and Noithward, taking in the sea wall, the old fort, the Ponce de Leon, barracks and other pointsof interest.

We were pleased beyond measure with what we saw, and agreed an ideal spot had been chosen for the convention. Many remarked that of all the cities in the United States, old St. Augustine was "the prettiest, and that of all the people in the United States those of St. Augustine were the most hospitable. At night the editors and the Flori-da Press Association were informally received in the West parlor of the elegant and gorgeous Ponce de Leon, where two hours were spent in inspecting the errand Hotel.

''The Ponce de Leon, the finest hotel in the world, is a picture of transcend ent beauty. The entrance grounds to the hotel are filled with sparkling fountains, tropical verdure and blooming plants. The Ponce de Leon is one of the famous group of Spanish Moresque palaces, the other two being the Alcazar and the Cordova, all owned by Mr. Flagler."

Our physicians in the children's department have spoken highly of their experience in their outside practice with Castoria, and although we only have among our medical supplies what is known as regular products, yet we are free to confess that the merits, of Castoria has won us to look with favor upon it."

As to its proportions, this huge Caravanserai is 445 feet long about the length of our great ocean steamers and six stories high, and can hold comfortably eight hundred guests! The dining room has a seat ing capacity of 900 people so were told. Speaking of dining reminds us of the menu served whic1 was full and complete in every The creation of such a paradise of comfort and luxury comes not by accident; but has to be all conceived in a human brain, and determined by a human will, before it takes form and substance, and its foundations are planted in the solid earth. To form such a plan and to carry it out requres not only boundless resources of wealth, but what is still more rare; the boldness to undertake such an enterprise in entire uncertainty of what the result may be; and the courage to carry it through, in spite of all warnings and p. evictions of failure. The number of such men, indeed, there are but few in a generation; but Florida has had the good fortune to find one, and his name is Henry M.

Flagler. Palm Beach is a most delightful winter resort. Here saw people wearing straw hats and attired in summer clothing, and enjoying midwinter bathing in the surf, as the water is quite warm, the temperate remaining about 76 degrees the year round. We visited the cocanut, orange, lime and lemon groves and pineapple fields. The editors enjoyed a trip to Pitts Island, situated in Lake worth, 8 miles from Palm Beach, one of the features of this justly popular resort.

Here we saw the semi-tropical growth in all its luxuriance and is an out door museum of Southern curiosities. On Tuesday, in company with our esteemed friend, R. A. Deal, of the Wilkesboro Chronicle, we bid many of the editors good-bye and turned our faces towards the dear "Old North State," and a truer and better Tar Heel than ever, more in loye with my profession and mv people.

THE OLDEST AND THE BEST Cough-cure, the most prompt and effective remedy for diseases of the throat and lungs, is Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. As an emergency medi cine, for the cure of Croup, Sore Throat, Lung Fever and Whooping Cough, AYER'S Cherry Pectoral cannot be equaled. E.

M. Brawley, D. Dis. Sec. of the American Bap tist Publishing Society, Petersburg, endorses it, as a cure for violent colds, bronchitis, etc.

Dr. Brawley also adds: To all ministers suffering from throat troubles, I recommend AVER'S Cherry Pectoral Awarded Medal at World's Fair. AYER'S PILLS Cure Liver and Stomach Trouble fiom day to day I never heard a pro fane word, or a course jest, or anything unworthy of gentlemen. Could as much be said of the men who compose political conventions? And so when I hear flippant sneers at editors, as if they were men of light intellectual calibre or of low moral principles, I deny it and resent the imputation. Of course, as in all professions, there are rivalries that lead editors to speak harshly of one anoth er.

But even in this are they more culpable than lawyers at the bar I speak from an experience of oyer 40 years, in which I have known a whole generation of editors from the time of Horace Greeley, and I can say truly that they have been as hard worked and as high principled as the men who adorn any profession. Such a history in the past is the best promise for the future. If it is to fill its place of power it should not be disparaged. Rather should it be raised in public ecteem, so that the new generation of editors that is coming on the stage, may be inspired with new ideals and new ambitions. If such be the Press of the centur3'that is soon to open it will be a power for good second to no other in the making of our country." On Thursday evening, January 23rd, a complimentary ball was tendered the association by the St.

Augustine Light Infantry at the Casino, in the Alcazar Hotel, where the flowers of the Ancient City showed in their resplendant beauty and grace. The music was grand and enjoyment supreme to those who participated. The oyster roast tendered by the adies on the beach, some 5 miles from the city, was greatly enjoyed oy the ladies and gentlemen or the Press gang, and the visit to the large lght House was another link in the chain of pleasure. The reception and tea also by the ladies of St. Augustine was a delightful affair.

It was giyen in old Fort Marian the scene of so much misery and romance in years gone by and will ong be remembered by those pres ent. Seldom, if ever, were so many gathered within the battle-scared and aged worn walls. Tne tables were bountifully burdened with choice viands which were charmingly served by the ladies. The gardens in St. Augustine were growing and blooming as they do with us, in May and June, and the tables at the hotels were well supplied with different Aegetables, fresh rom the gardens.

During our stay the weather was so pleasant and balmy that we did not need an over coat or a fire, and hence the old town is a grand winter resort, along with scores of other places in Florida. There are many places ot interest in the quaint and ancient city. Among them are following: The sea wall, constructed by the United States government in 1835, at a cost of $100,000. This is three-fourths of a mile long, ten feet high and two feet thick; the St. Francis Barracks, which was formerly a monastery, the home of the Francis can monks: the old Fort Marion, which covers about four acres, is built of shell rock, with walls nine feet thick at the base aud four and a half at the top, and twenty-one feet high from the center court or ground floor, the old city gates, still stand ing at the head of bt.

George street; the cathedral, finished in 1791; the old slave market in the plaza, where slaves were sold in the olden times; the post office building, which was formerly the Spanish Governor's residence. The new part of the citv has nice wide streets and some ot them nicely paved. There is one street only seven feet wide. It is Treasury street, and persons standing opposite sides of the street can sake hands with each other across it. All the streets of old St.

Augustine are very narrow, and this, with the overhanging balconies, give it much the appearance of a foreign town. We visited the oldest houses in the United States. It was built by the French Huguenots in 1562, and was occupied by monks until 1580. It was purchased by Dr. Carver, a dentist, in 1882, and is now occupied by him as a residence.

The Monumental Presbyterian church erected by Mr. H. M. Flagler, the great developer of East Florida, and in memory of a deceased daughter, is a beautiful and imposing structure and built out of coqaina, a kind of shell rock found on the eastern coast of that State. Mr.

Flagler, besides building the church sup ports and pays the eloquent pastor. On Saturday morning thejEditori- al train composed of 11 sleepers left St. Augustine over the East Coast Kailroad, 300 miles long and owned by Mr. Flagler. Arrived at Ormand 2 p.

and remained until Sunday afternoon, taking in the many at tractions of this winter resort. The beach at this place is grand and a bicycle or buggy can roll for 40 miles without hardly making an indenture in the sand as it is so closely packed. On our way to Palm Beach the train stopped a short time at Daytona, one of the most beautiful little to wns in the State. The citizens turned out en masse, with all kinds of vehicles and drove us all the sea. Tlie g.

ntlman then named the various settlers and conquerors who had made the story of city, showing how far back the record ivent, and then added, that it is com monly believed that this is the original site the Garden of Eden. We have also said became to the conclusion that it was here that the original bieach of the Monrce Doctrine occurred. Naturally we pride ourselves upon our age, and you, the National Edi'orial association, constitute the last of a long line of distinguished visitors, whom we now bid welcome." lie then named the different nationnali-ries and the years of their occupation of the territory here, and remarked that one power h.id had possession which was enough to stop a dynamo or paralyze a Wes trn editor. The reyerend gentleman Mien decribed the physical peculiarities of the city, ten arking that the power of mod ern enterprise guided by cultivated art had raised a temple ot beauty lrom the crude materials so abundant about us. Uefore the ad ress was concluded, the speaker made a graceful reference to the City Gates, at which point M-s.

A. M. Marcott. handed htm a lovely liorial key, twenty inches long, made of white carna nuns, metor roses and maiden hair fern, prepared by the executive committee of the citizens of the city. Mr.

MacGonigle said, addressing President Bunnell, that, with this key, the president was to shut the gales and not allow any'one to go out until he was satis-tied of the warm welcome of the hearts of tne citizens of St. Augustine. Piesideut Bunnell, recuvng said: "The gates are locked," and that "We are prisoners in your hands, not desiring to be released. Secretary Page received the badges for the delegates of the association, in separate envelopes, each containing also a souvenir stickpin for the ladies accompanying the delegates, from Mrs. Anna M.

Marcotte. Those for the delegates are a full size silver pen having embossed thereon ''1S95, N. E. 1S9G," and a silver pendant, with "St. Augustine, on the rim, and the city gates in relief in center, backed by yellow ribbon.

The ladies' badge is the pendant on a stickpin. They were sterling silyei and lasting tokens of the eleventh annual meeting of the National Editorial association. As soon as the distribution of badges was completed President Bunnell delivered his address which was replete with good and whole some suggestions for the members of the association. In closing he quoted from Emerson, said: The chief want in life, is somebody who shall make us do best we can. As a closing thought I ask Why not personify this great Association, changing it into the 44 Somebody" who shall make us as editors and publishers, do the best we can for ourselves and our subscribers, for community and county, foi country and the world, for humanity and God.

Then whether individual skies are raiubowed in prosperity or grown gray with tears of adversity, this Association will not have been created in vain. The different sessions of the convention were of an interesting and instructive character as many able pointed papers were read on every branch of the business, editorial, mechanical, how to run and manage a newspaper, etc. The best effect of such a Convention as this is that the contact ot one with another, the interchange ot ideas raises the standard of journal ism among them. Ihey come to feel that their interest are one; and that if one member "suffer in reputation all his brethren suffer with him and share his digrace. It is a great thing to have them feel that the interest of one is the interest of.

It will lead them to recognize the fact, as in WOMEN are not the only ones who are sensitive about their ages. A man doesn't like to be told that he is getting ld. A man doesn't like to get old at all. But worse than getting old, is the appear ance of age. Health keeps a man young.

It doesn't make any fcw V. uiiieieriee lie naa lived eighty years. rr i i It they have been healthv -vears. hp will he hale and heartv and won't look within twenty years as old as he is. Good digestion and rich, red blood make people look youthful.

Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery makes rich, red blood. It makes health in the right way. It works according to the right theory, and in 30 year of practice, it has proved that the theory is absolutely correct. It begins at the beginning begins by putting the stomach, liver and bowels into flfcrfect order, but it begins its good work on the blood before it finishes with the digestive system.

It searches out disease germs wherever they may be and forces them out of the body. It promotes the copious secretion of the digestive fluids, and assists in throwing off refuse matter. It makes the appetite good and the digestion strong. It isn't a violent medicine. It isn't strong medicine.

It does nothing but good to every portion of the body. It doesn't do harm in one place while it is helping another place. It is meant to help the whole body and it does help it. vv henever a man leels himself failing- in health, when he feels that he is Bret- ting old too fast, that his vitality is low, and that he is losing nesn, ne snoula waste no time in getting the "Golden Medical Discovery." It will build up quicker than an3'thing else in the world. It will give him rich blood and solid flesh.

It will make him feel half as old and twice as strong. Druggists sell it.
