MR EDITOR :- The old Town hall as it Is at the present day is certainly an ob ject of ridicule, and a few words of en- lightenment may not be amins. The land on which the Town hall stands re- verts to the original owners when it ceases to be used for a Town hall. The building is large enough for all town purposes exept one town meeting a year, and the Opera house is ample and con. venient. Why should the people of Franklin tax themselves 850,000 for a new Town hall when the old one can he repaired and made neat aud tidy for $1,000. TAX PAYER.

Last Monday evening the club mel with George W. Bacon, North Franklin Mr. Bacon said he had no paper to read. but would give a talk; "In the first place I want to welcome you all here and assure you all that we are just as glad to see you as you are to come. Our lessons and experiences are so common that 1 have but little to say about them. Our

A week ago tonight we listened to a very tive paper on "Fruits," and in those early days the fruits were the staff of life and later they were called bread.

Concerning Gorman's entertainers, who appear at the Opera house Saturday evening, we clip the following:

"The company consists of a score or more of good singers, some of them being also clever comedians and grace. ful dancers, and the events ou the lone program follow que another so rapidly that there was something duing all the time. There were choruses, male and female quartets, duets and solos; some remarkable acrobatic feats by one of the company, who seemed as much at home when standing on his head as when on his feet; a naval drill and a cake walk, done as ouly colored people can do It. Most of the specialties were very pleas ing and helped, with the singing, to make the entertainment entirely satis. factory."-Burlington Free Press.

FERNANDINA, Fr.A . Dec II, 1900 MR JOHNSON-DEAR SIR :- We are al. ways glad to hear from our friends, and think our friends will like to hear some- thilng of us and of our surroundings. We left New York Dec. 7 by the steam . ship Rio Grande, which Is 300 feet in length and capable of carrying 2,500 tons and 100 passengers. Mrs. Richardson, not being accustomed to sea fare or sea sickness, did not enjoy the first twenty. four hours as she had anticipated. The Rio Grande made an unusually quick passage with favorable wind and weather. We were landed at Fernandina Monday, Dec 10 Fernandina is the shire town of Nasan county, with guod school and church privileges The colored people ontnumber the whites and have their own schools and churches. They number something over 300 scholars and the whites have 165, each school employing four leachers. Fernandina is at the north-east corner of Florida and claims So have the best harbur on the east coast of the state. The city is situated at the north end of Amelia Island, which is about twenty wollen long and one to two miles wide, and I believe Is the only city in the conuty.
