Tamfa gave Ex-Frealdeat Clbvelaxd and part? a very creditable receptloa at Port.Tampa oa their return from Havana laet Thursday afternooa.

About two hundred citizens went down to the Tort oa tha afternooa train, and while do attempt at great display was made a very pleasant Informal reception was given. The Kx-Freeldent'a party visited tha big hotel aad were drivea out to Tbor City. They all expressed their surprise at tha size and Importance of our city and were gratified to note tha many convincing evidences ot our prosperity nd future promise. Taa Editor of the JocaxaL very deeply appreciates the kindly mention of the press of the State of his appointment as postnrsster at Taa-, pa.

The postoQce will keep pace with tha city's rapid progress, for tha next four yesrs, at least. AS OCALA SAW Col. F. t.

Harris, editor of the Ocala Banner, who waa one ot tha Ocala delegation to meet Cleveland at Tampa last week, on his return home published the following complimentary account of hat he aa in our city "Notwithstanding the delegation sent ta Tampa to Invite Mr. Cleveland to visit oar fee mi-Tropical Exposition, failed in their mission, the trip was none the less enjoyed by them. We left here at 2 o'clock in the afternoon and reached Tampa at 9, takla; supper at Lakeland. It had been four years since our lat visit to Tampa, ia which time the city has been stricken with yellow feer, notwithstanding which. It has made a supriaingly rapid gronth.

TUr City has been built; a fine bridge has rpanned Hillsborough river; the city has been with electric llghta, both gkb and incandescent; a splendid system ot water works have been compleu-d two banks hsve been established; rows ot elegant brick buildings line both alJes of tha bualaesa streets; brick and stoae pavemeau have laid down; a street railway, drawn by a dammr engine is In successful operation, and three or foar saaxamoth tobacco factories give activity to trade and employment to several thousand people. The population the city has been quadrupled. Mr. Vbor alone, wa were told, iiays out twentv thousand dollar a week to his employes', and tha bank footings show th.it twt'tity thousand more are paid out wttkly for other kinds of lsbor. The pt-ople arc active and hop ful and buslcos is brink.

The nant Investment Company Is build ing a Botel larger than the ronce de Lon. and which will rival it la splendor. It prtsenta a river frontaga ot five hundred and eleven feet, and with its winjs Is over 1.100 feet long. The architectural design of this bote! Is Turkish, and the workmanship and finish will be beautiful beyond description Thee magnificent balldiags, the 1'oncc de Leon, Alcazar and Cordova, at St. Augustine, and tha Plant hotel at Tamva.

be- fin to rive faint glimpses of Florida's leture. It will be the winter rendezvous of the wealth of the nation, and as a pleasure resort will pale into Insignificance the tame and splendor of Naples and Venice in their most halcyon days. Had it no rich land, do beautiful springs, rivers and lakes, no choice and rare pro-dactton of field and garden, its wof: and delicious climate would slili be a rich In-heritage. Florida Is destined to have the richest and densest population of any Stale in the I'nloo. It Is the history ot all peninsulas, and Florida, with its lovely climate, valuable wood, early and rare fruits and Cowers, will no exceptlaa to the rule, but tbere is every reason lo believe that he will break the record aad ba richer in population aad wealth, aad the luxuries that these things bring than any other peninsula uu iU? glove, Her Flaglers and Flanta, ber railroads and hotels, will bat hasten these predictions.

Our delegation were shown special courtosiea by Msyor Jackson, Mr. Fessea-dea, Mr. Salomonaon and others to whom wc la teir aame return special thanks." Job Printer. Take Not Ire! First class job printer wanted. Steady emplaysseet at Uif wages will be given to tha right man.

I detent a winter reaort. For two or three montba oat of tbe year one la alive ber. tben one aeeina to stagnate.

Jot bacanae a handful of people foraootb, dalg-n to drop In npoa as and tben drop out. For myself. 1 do not trap any of tbe benefit ot tba saeaoa. It teases but very little as far ss my happiness Is eon-eeraed. wbetber tba toan full of people, or Jut full of eunptlneaa.

aad by emptiness yoa will plea understand tba unfortunate, ail year-ranndera. Of rourae wa ara na-furtuData. It yoo doubt It tell soma Northern visitor that you live In Florida and If you do not aae a look of deep eornprston creep Into bis eyea. It Is because yon are blind. Tbe average visitor caa not realize the fact tbat one can actually bave a home hare, but tbe a vUltnrs do not know everything.

What the do know la Jut what you do not. It Is rarely you meet a man. worn -aa or child who baa ba la tbe tate a month, who ran not tell you )uat bow to plant and raise a trreve. Your dire experience counts for nothing with them. As I have hinted before, I wish I did have mora real personal Interest In tourists.

I wish my heart would beat a little faster as tba train comes In. but It does not. It keeps on the same old time while fellow mortals all around me no bettor or worse than myself, are In the seventh heaven af happiness, or way down tu tba slough of despond. Mr. Uandy, of tbe Tropical, gave me a moat excellent piece of advice last winter, "Keep a hotel Mrs.

Vannevar and I warrant von will bave Interest In arrivals." In order to break tbe monotony I don't know but tbat I HI, or eloe persuade my husband to start a land office. Of course there are people whom one Is Interested In, one's own friends, but this Is an Interest apart from tbe heart-rending misery of Impecunious hotel-keepers and land-agents or their wild hilarity, and it Is luyt those unattain able height 1 wish to 11 nib. I long to feel tbat my next new bonnet depend on the ulMlnc and he really doe seem to be awfully ulsnlng Just at present. Still the hotels are not quite empty. The Baron and Itaroness Munchausen earns In tbls morning.

Tbe llama's tlilrd visit here. He came armed as usual. It Is rrnlly too bad have hud so many titled people In Tarpon. In n.y novel-nadlng days. I imagined tliat beauty and tile were synony mous term.

I used to readravlhlng des cription ot the Duchesses and Countesses and Lalv Lillians and then would wander ally to the mirror and try to see If I could not detect something which might lead me to hope tbat some day I migbt aspire to tbe world of the "upper ten with Its glorious women aud Las Jsorne men." but tbe com mon' place tvl'lon reflected back woul seem to say me nay. Now, however, since I can at any time gaze ray CII upon these glorious women. 1 ttilak It twauty won them their titles, almost anv one may as pire to wear the straw berry leaves. No I am aot reflecting oti either Huron or Itarones Manebansen, for although tbey certainly are not the bero or berolue of tbrwe volame novel, they are so uncommon ly sensible In their manner, tbat one can not but respect them. Thanks to C.

A. for unraveling tbe tnys U-ry of Caroline Harrison's vith dav. It has renily worried me lest they should bave gone Into the Whlu House with un seemly baste, the work not half done. Evidently C. A.

Is seeutomed to New Eng land household. I wni'Bbir uiy grand father once, had a treasure of a sarvant girl, ho hd lu bar time a treasure of i beau. This young man used to visit ber f-ondny evenings extending her courtship Into the ase sins' hours. As soan as Mon day bad fnlrly corns In, tils industrious lady love with Ms assistance fil'ed all ber tubs, and by the time the fimllr were up, the wash was on the line. Now on tnaugura Hon day, Caroline and IWnJamln may have done the same thing, although considering tbe fatigue they were ever to meet on such a day, I must say It was very foolish of ttjeru.

verv. I really like C. A. and I bare had verv serious thought of bunting her op ome day, but It I bave to a ear llloom era, all! not. Kigbt there 1 set doan my foot and setting down my tot altii such vlfor, I hare Jarred the surroun ling couatry to such an extent that I my husband flying homeward evidently with the fear of au earthquake before him, ot It mir be Is fust hastening In from the rala.

evening (Jot. aad Mrs Saflord gave a most reception la honor ol the II. It. I- and Mrs. Webster and M.ss vveite-.

The bouse and gr re I rUHantly Illuminated and evrry one a ho could attend, taking their last opportunity to spend a few boars In tbe company of our pastor aud family who en go at-road. Tost the receptloa a a a brilliant success, goes without saying. The Mclsl Worker met last ek with Mr Webster aad as it was practically the last meeting of the season, Mrs, wer. iter served Innchaon. Each plate was dreerate with a pretty flower, a souvenir of tbe pleasant hours speat together.

Later Mis Mabel Webster, who. I quite a skilled amateur pbologTaphar. took a picture of as all. grouped on the pisza. I tiave not --u the proof, but I am told tbe Ukenese are very good- I was In hope they vsould not be, I wa In hopva ther would flatter abominably.

I a ant the people of to Imagine the woman of Tarpon angelic, and I am afraid it thttt picture Is true to life, they will not. I aui sure there are no wings peeping around my shoulders. We hnd tha pleasure yesterday af a call from lien. Otis, of I-o wll who, with Mrs. Otis, Is tbe guest of the Tarpon.

The t.eneral I an old soldier, accustomed to wlilsWiag id bulli-t, but be most decidedly object 1 to the free and easy manner In ahirh, tbe bullets were whtstltag aero? the bayou yeterday. He was la company with 11 r. and Mrs. Knapp and Just as bey-were eoailng up the bayou a bullet fell within two feet of of.them. Sunday shooting Is abominable enough of Itself but worse when life it endangered, as certainly the party haoting so wildly Into vacancy, eud.inerej It yesterday.

Another bundle of papers from my kind friend, this time with his name. written across tberu. ao at last be ba pity on a woman's curiosity. 'ue of the papers contained aa account ot tbe Iuke of t-utber-laad'a marriage, aud although I know It was arUtea by one ot hU sduiirers, 1 am at a loss to kaow it I complimentary or uot. We might omproruL-e by calUng It tun-blguous.
