LINWOOD BULLOCK DEAD

Lin Bullock is dead; and al

was like shock to the city when it

twenty, son of Gen. Robert Bull

lock. Mrs. Thomas Wright of
Lake Weir, and Mrs. L. Wright of
Macon, Ga, and the friend Of ev-
erybody, man, woman and child,
rich or poor-everybody liked Lin
Bullock. He was an honored
member of the Ocala Rifles, who
followed him TO the grave at 4
O clock this afternoon, where he
was buried with military honors,
Rev. c. M. Gray of the Episcopal
church preaching the funeral ser
mon, from that church, and many
sincere mourners were present to
pay their last respects to the dead
boy.
Deceased was i'll for two weeks
and suffered untold agonies, but
bore his sufferings with fortitude
and only gave up his life after a
hard struggle with the grim mon
ster death. He was conscious up
to few moments before the end,
and seemed happy and willing to
80.

cd in the United States and ex-
ported from the same.
This industry in above states,
from small beginnings few years
ago, has now become their leading
industry. With the amount of
fine grade domestic and imported
scrap tobacco, stored at Flori@a
cigar factories, and always pur-
chasable at low prices, and the
limited amount of capital required
to prepare and put up package
smoking tobacco, this should be-
come an important and profitable
Ocala industry and attain in time
prestige in Eastern and Western
markets as is now held by the
Florida cigar manufacturers. The
brand of a Florida smoking tobac-
co would surely prove an attrac-
tion to consumers.

what 1t Did tor a Lone r lOr1da
WidOWer.
A marriage took place out on
Orange avenue two and a haf
miles from the city, last evening at
8 o'clock, that was romantic in the
extreme. Some time ago /.
Rifenburgb, a widower sixty-seven
years of age, realizing his lonely
condition, conceived the brilliant
idea of advertising for helpmeet.
He proceeded to put his idea into
execution and placed an adIet in a
northern paper. and Immediately
there came replies and photos
OF these he selec cted Mrs. Ida
Sanford, aged thirty-two, and quite
pretty, and months correspond
ence resulted in his sending her
money to come to Ocala on. She
arrived Friday afternoon and was
met by the gentleman, and after ar
ranging the preliminaries they were
married as before stated by Judge
Hill in the presence of the family
and few friends, after which q
bounteous supper was served.
The funny part is that the
groom forgot to state in the CORE,
spondence that he had several
children, and this the bride rather
drew the line on, but compromise
was finally arranged.
