prayer: Last year he came out as a
candidate for justice of the peace. We
had nothing against him, although he is
a Methodist and we a Baptist, and
would have supported him, but when
we asked him to put his announcement
in our paper he hemmed and hdwed.
and that, too, after we had offered him
the half rate which we usually extend
to the clergy. Then we told him that if
he would give US s. we would
print his announcement. What
did he do? He wrote out
lut of notices and stuck them up
on the trees. Could an American citi-
zen brook such an insult. We think
not. Is a citizen of this great common
wealth called upon to bear such con-
tempt? We do not think he is; so. with
the pen of just retribution, we 'pricked
this bull calf till he reared again. We
threw ourselves into the campaign; we
glutted our vengeance. We saw the
reverend gentleman defeated, and then
we quietly sought our humble abode.
Now. this man must run Us into one of
his prayers. He must hold us up before

An Ancient Knight who Once

So important were Christmas cclebra-

was the earnestness bestowed upon
their preparation, that a special officer

preside over the festival with large
privileges, very considerable appoint

time came to be no insignificant imita-

speaking at present of the officer who

1t requires 60 of heat on sixty consecu-

The large ants carry away the bulk of
filth, and what is left the microscopic ants
come along and clean up. There are many
kinds of ants. They vary in size from an
inch in length down to the microscopic. In
clearing UP filth they all take u hand

De r ladies, if you act in the role of muir

When goods or clothes are brought here

LAKE WEIR, FLA, Oct. 15.-Ocala is a
busy city. Several new buildings are
being constructed, new sidewalks are being
laid, and preparations for the Central Sub
Tropical exposition have been begun. The
site chosen for this industrial exhibition is
a forty-acre tract of land on one of the
highlands west of the city, and less than a
mile from the public square. The main
building will be 300 feet by 100 feet. Tracts
of three acres will be given to those coun-
ties that will make permanent exhibition of
the culture of fruit trees, grapes, shrubs,
vegetables, etc.
The exposition will receive for exhibition
all kinds of tropical and sub-tropical fruits,
agricultural, horticultural and Horticultural
products; machinery of all kinds in use in
the south, manufactured articles, canned
goods, etc.
Arrangements will be made for the exhi-
bition OF live stock, with view to the i'm
provement of the breeds of horses, cattle,
sheep and hogs. Ten acres will be donated
to this purpose. The exposition will be a
grand exhibition of the industries of Flor
ida, the other southern states, and the ad-
jacent isles Of the ocean.
