Advertising rates furnished on gan; and likewise a considerable host application. 1 of Englishmen did business in Berlin and other German cities. It is noth ing but absurd falsity to say that these men, and women for that matter, bid-1 ed their time among an alien people with hate in their hearts: and, meta- { phoricaily speaking, with dirks in their sleeves and guns hidden about their persons. It cannot be truthfully sail of the people of any country engaged in the I present stupendous conflict that they ’ were responsible for that conflict, in will and desire either in its inception or its planning. When It came, like a boit from the blue, the people respond ed to the call of national patriotism; but it was not because of a fighting demand to kill the other fellow across the channel or across the border. It is even more ridiculously ab-urd to contend that the pressure of public opmion—rating public opinion as we do in this country- iirove Austria, Russia or Turkey into war. The people fight valiantly because the war lords told t ern it was their duty to fight. For those same war lords to shift responsi bility by the apology that war was made because the people demanded it is fiction, for which we sometimes use a synonym, familiarly known in this country as the ‘‘shorter and uglier w rd.” —- -------- xe» - ■ : J A CKSON VILLE POS1 -: Cheer Up, Cheer Up!

The present issue of the Post, is No 1, Volume 9, the eighth year of it’s existence closing with last weeks issue. For more than six years past the paper has been under the present management and during that time1 it has been the aim of the paper to advocate those things that tend to the betterment of the town and community and to give our readers a paper as good as possible under the condi tions existing. We have tried to faithfuly report everything of a local n iture that is news proper for publication and likely to in terest our readers at home or abro id. Our notes of the doings of the courts, while brief, have been accurate and reliable and have been commended by several patrons. A? to happenings in the state and nation at large, we have endeavored to mention some of the more important events specially those of general interest. During the past six years we have had the steady pa- tronage of a number of persons and firms in the city, all of which is greatly appreciated, but in this connection we desire to mention that there are a number of others doing business in this city who could use a little printer’s ink with profit to themselves and this paper. A newspaper is an index of the community in which it is published and is so considered by those at a distance: a paper filled with advertising of the local people indicates a busy, thriving community of wideawake people, while a paper carrying few ads denotes local conditions not sought after by pros pective homeseekers. We hope to make the Post a better and more readable paper during the present j ear than it has been in the past and to this end we need your help. Are you for us or against us, or are you simply indifferent? » London's Bridges. At a time when the population of London was well over n million and her houses lay for miles on each side of the river she was apparently well content with her one Ixmdoti bridge. At leng.lt in 1734 Westminster was seized with the desire to have a bridge of her own. Application was made lo parliament lor powers only to encounter the fiercest opposition from tile city, tile 4 ).()hO watermen, the in habitants of Southwark and the west country bargemen, all of whom im plored the commons to protect them against this new enemy. The result was tiiat the bridge was not built till 1750 Black friars, nt first called Bitt’s bridge, was finished in 17(5!) at a cost of £260.000. defrayed by tolls Water loo was opened oil the second anniver sary of the famous battle with great pouip by Hie prince regent in person, accompanied by tils royal brother, the Huke of York, the Duke of Wellington mid many distinguished people — Lou- don Answers.
