Messrs. Nevin and Son, the

with about the best shows of the
season on the night of January 2nd

Brown Potter and Kyrle Ballew in
Charlotte Corday as the opening
attraction for the New year. It
has taken much work and a per
sistent effort on the past of the
management to secure this f.tnu i •

I for one bespeak for it and for
Nevin & Son the hearty support
which is s© well deserved.

The East Rome horror of Friday
night is but one of many of that
class. There is scarcely a day that
the wires do not bring the news of
he death of helpless children who
have bean locked in by careless pa
rents or negligent guardians.

The sickening horror of the
thing! Here is a mother a negro
mother, nut at service earning
bread for her fatherless picanin
nils wham she has trusted to the
care of another negress. That ne
greas builds up a fire, on a bitter
cold night, and locks ths three in
fanta in and takes her departure
for the slums of the city.
Then tbe old story, the building
burns and the innocent and help
less children are burned, sacrifice
offered up ou the alter of criminal
aegligence. A woman who can be
eo reckless of human life deserves
no mercy, not even pity. Bhe
should be made te suffer the direst
punishment meted out to the most
•cruel and heartless murderess. As
it is the law seems to be powerless
to reach her bu<- she can b» abhor
ed on humani y and ehuned by
mortals. Remember the brand of
Cain is on her wicked brow and bid
her “move on.”

Jacksonville, Fla., December 29.
—At 6 o’clock this morning the
mercury in Jacksonville went down
to 27.7, the lowest poiat reached
by it since the early winter months
of 1886.
There has been much anxiety
[ during the day as to the fate of
the orange crop in various portions
iof the fruit belt, but so far as in
-1 formation has been received no
[damage has been reported up to 6
o’clock p. m.
Officers of the Florida Fruit Ex
change say nothing is to be feared
! until the mercury touches 26 de
jgrtes and remains there several
• hours.
■ At 6 o’clock tonicht the mercu-
• ry had fallen tc 81 and the weath
:er bureau has prophesied that it
i will fall as low as 27 before morn
:ing. But if the wind continues to
! blow as at present, there will be
I very little danger. Nearly half ths
[orange crop has been moved out of
J the state.
