The term of Mayor Hildreth, Councilmen Stevens, York, Hand, Treasurer Smith, Assessor Elwell, Collector Rodan and Recorder Williams expire in March next. The succession is a question being talked over among local politicians. The friends of Mayor Hildreth, Republican, will no doubt urge his nomination for a second term. James K. Taylor is also spoken of by party men for the same place. The Democrats will no doubt select for their standard bearer for the Mayorality J. Henry Edmunds. While the voting at the polls will be largely non-partisan, nominations will be made on strictly party lines.

They will stop off at the most prominent places of interest in the Southern States until they reach Fort Meade, which is 230 miles below Jacksonville. There they will visit Captain E. A. Cordery, the eldest son of the late Judge Cordery, who is one of the leading business men of the place. He is now very busy not only in the phosphate and pebble enterprise, but also in the construction and laying of a new railroad from Tampa to the Atlantic Ocean, which will be of untold advantage to all of that part of the country.

Eighty Years Old. P. P. Dace, father of Mrs. E. C. Wood,

with whom he resides, celebrated his eightieth birthday Tuesday last. Mrs. Wood gave a supper, to which a few

friends were invited, in honor of the occasion. Mr. Dace has been an invalid for some years, being confined to the house for

the past five years; but notwithstand-

ing his great affliction he takes much delight in talking of bygone days. His mental faculties are unclouded, and while listening to his entertaining reminiscences one can hardly realize that they are in the presence of a represen-

tative of a generation most of whom

have passed over to the world beyond.

May he live to enjoy other similar occasions.
