There is a rare bird on exhibition at

we do.
Mr. Hal Morrison,the Atlanta artist,
has been spending sometime in the
neighborhood of St. Marks, procuring
specimens of fish and birds for his

he found in that locality, Mr. Morri
son, says:
“It is found in only two places on
earth. One is in Louisiana and the nth
erin Florida. There is no existing spe
cies that is closely akin to it, and those
found now perhaps are the remnant of
a nearly extinct kind.”

while they partake of a delicious sau
cer of pure ice cream. Take your
Lest girl around to the Tec Cream

The Alliance and Democracy.
Grover Cleveland’s latest utterance
is worthy of the leader of the democ
racy.
His review of the principles of the
Farmer's alliance is at once trenchant
and inspiring, fie stamps them as
being essentially democratic, and wel
comes the great army of agriculturists
into the fight which is the heritage of
the democratic party.
Democracy springs from the people.
It represents, in its last analysis, the
man between plow-handles, whether
the field he furrows borders on the
great lakes, or is laved by the waters
of the gulf. The farmers of the United
■States, blinded and misled by tricky
politicians, areawaking to their rights,
the protection of their homes and the
happiness of their children. 'This de
termination fines expression in rural
organizations, in which the masses pro
test against the classes.
It is democracy underanother name.
The great heart of the people is
aroused, and, touched by the magic of
Cleveland's words, is strengthened for
the battle of 1892.—Constitution.
Read the declaration of principles
of the Alliance elsewhere, and then
read what Mr. Cleveland has to say of
them. He touches a chord which will
vibrate among the sons of toil, from
Maine to Alaska. The farming classes
will star.d by Grover Cleveland,
1892.
