A PROSPEROUS PARISH.
REV. II. r. kINlNERNEY READ HIS
ANNUAL REPORT YESTERDAY.
An Excellent Showing Made the Past Year--A
Material Reduction II Debt Of the Parish.

At all the masses at st. Joseph's Church
yesterday the pastor, Rev. H. F. Kinner-
ney, read his annual report, which shows
gratifying condition of affairs. Rev. FIR.
Kinnerney returned his thanks for the
manner in which the parishioners re-
sponded and for the financial assistance
given him during the past year. Few
parishes in the diocese can make better
showing than that presented at st.
Joseph's at this time. Rev. FIR. Kinnerney,
In his remarks on the Iiberality of his
people, expressed the hope that two years
hence, which marks his 25th anniversary
as pastor Of the parish, he hoped to have
the parish free from debt, with church
property to the value of nearly $4,000.
The report read yesterday is as follows

The selections of the mixed quartet,
composed of singers from Providence
churches, were rendered in very finished
manner under the direction of George III.
Lomas, who presided at the organ.
Secretary Stratton prefaced his report
with the statement that as complete and
exhaustive summary of the years work
had been printed and distributed in the
news his remarks would be brief. Mr..
Stratton said.,-=
In presenting to the young man of our
two cities this my sixth annual report it is
with a consciousness that all has not been
accomplished that has been possible with
better direction and leadership. When We
see the great throng of young who frequent
the saloons and other resorts of evil with
in our limits-places that are destroying
the manhood and blasting the moral sem
sibilities of our young men and radiating
influences that are insiduously creeping
into happy homes and destroying the
pride and hope of refined and cultured
circles, as well as the tenements of the
laboring men-when we see how few young
men comparatively are identified with our
churches and who avail themselves of the
privileges of our association, we feel that
to lead in this work. We enter upon the
new year with feelings of gratitude and
thankfulness that after several years OF
financial depression, the people OF
Pawtucket and Central Falls have enabled
their Young Mems Christian Association
to pay all its bills and leave balance in
the treasury.
One very encouraging feature Of our
work the past year has been the increased
efficiency of our committees and the de-
velopment of individual workers.
The results of the past year represent in
q much larger degree than ever before di-
vision of labor and responsibility. While
it is essential to our success that we retain
part of our trained workers for a time,
we look with qualification upon the labors
of those who go from the activities of the
association into the activities of the church
because we believe the work of the associa-
tion is to discover recruits, train them
and send them along to do active service
for the church

ested in publication at Asheville, n.
g bids farewell TO the paper he was
formerly connected with and the peo-
pie he % faithfully served for twelve
yeats, in well written article to the
Banner Of last week. Dir. Bittinger
is one of natures noblemen, a fluent
writer and man of ability. He is a
natural born newspaper man, and to
his Jealous persecution of his duties is
due largely the success of the Ocala
Banner, which is recognized as one of
the ablest edited papers in the state.
The writer has been intimately ac-
quainted with Mr.. Bittinger for the
past ten years, and knows him to be
gentlemen worthy the confidence and

people of Asheville we extend con-
gratulations upon securing the citizen

Miss Blanche Hall, our charming

In last issue of THE BANNER we see
considerable kicking by members of
the Mckinley aid society at the APP
pointment of Mr.. Mcleod as commits
sioner from this district. For several
years Mr.. Mcleod was voter of this
precinct, but the Ocalians, realizing
his power as a free silver advocate,
had him transferred to Ocala, where
he made a strong and bitter fight for
democracy and the white metal dur
ing the past campaign. Let the 2x4
dailies howl at his appointment, but
Cracker Mack is our next commits
sioner.

heavy bloom, and from the present out

shipped from here the coming season.
For the past few days Governor
Bl0xham has been the subject of Sc
we're criticism by his many friends at
this place, and his recent action in
appointing Colonel Henderson, vice.
president of the Florida Central Il
Peninsular railway, to succeed Senator
Call in the United States senate, has
brought forth storm of dissatisfac-
ton. Your correspondent recon-
mends the immediate removal of Sem
atOr Pasco and Congressman Davis,
and the appointment of II. B. Plant
and ii. M. Flagler in their stead.
Awake to a sense of duty, fellow free
silver democrats.
Cabbage are now going forward in
earnest, but growers are much discOur-
aged. The freeze did this crop consid-
cradle damage, and they continue die
ing from its effects and are prone to
rot, cOnsequentlylthere is much COM
plant of arrival in "bad Order.n The
crop has been held back for better
prices, but must now go, as the heads,
from the heavy rains, have taken in a
supply Of sap, and it is now "cut or
bust" The poor outlook for cabbage
money has caused heavy increase in
bean, cane and tomato acreage. Some
few are talking tobacco and cotton,
but the experience with the latter the
past year will deter many from plant
Ing. However, as the Florida Central
d Peninsular railway has received the
United States senatorship, we can
surely obtain relief through some
channel. FARMER.

Death Of Mr.. J. ]. Smith.


Died suddenly from heart disease,
Saturday, February 81, 1897. near Cit
ronelle, Citrus county, Fla, Jesse
Smith, ST., aged So years, / month and
10 days.
He was born January Il, 1914, in
Sumter district, S. c., forty miles
from Camden. He was reared by his
grandfather, q relative of one OF the
signers of the Declaration of indie
pendence.
He moved to Georgia when 10 years
old from there to Alabama, where he
married Elizabeth Ann Larry. While
there he bravely shouldered his mus
ket in defense of his country against
the Indians.
He moved to Columbia county, Fla,
in 1852; from there to Marion county
in 1864 then to Citrus county in 1866.
His faith was strong in the Method
list doctrine, of which church he was
member.
his friends, lived very active life,
and had, by his indomitable will, en-
ergy and good judgment, amassed a
competency, and at the time of his
death did not owe a dollar. He was an
honest man, and possessed in a re-
markable degree many sterling quail
ties. In his friendship he was dis
Greet, strong, true and Interchangeable.
Uncle Jesse,n like all mankind,
had his peculiarities. His greatest
popularity was in fair dealing with
his fellow men, telling the truth
and paying his debts. He was the
embodiment of honor; his word was
his bond. He told the writer a few
days before his death that " he could
give up all he possessed rather than his
honor"
At the time of his death he was sit
ting by the fire, conversing with his
daughter-in-law, Mrs. J. J. Smith,
and his granddaughter, Miss Rhoda
ECulliDs 1ACO CtNW bOthAh6 -
his demeanor, when suddenly his
head fell forward, and in few mo-
ments his spirit had flown to the One
that gave it.
Before his death ne arranged all de-
tails of his burial, and every wish he
made was carried out. He was buried
in the Crystal River cemetery by the
side of his wife, who preceded him to
the spirit land nearly eleven years
ago.
In his death our county loses one of
its most substantial citizens; his son,
James J. Smith. and grandchildren
aud great grandchildren a most affec-
tionate father and grandfather, and
his friends a safe counsellor.
To his family the heartfelt sympa-
thy is most generously extended.

A legend of anc.snt Rome rel I
,hat while the capitol w,@ itiiilssiFg.
there came one ,isy to to. f,r.htenl
King Farquin the Proud, = poor old
woman carrying nice o~,kz OF proph-
ecies of the Sibyl, hi,h she offered
TO sell for three hundred pieces of gold
The king laughinrly hade her 20
away, which she did but after burn
ing three of tho books, she returned
and asked the same price for the re-
naming six. Again treated with
scorn, she retired, burnt three more of
the volumes, and then came back de-
handing the same sum for the three
which were left. Astonished at this
conduct, the king consulted his wise
men, who answered him that in those
nine books, six OF which had been
lost, were contained the fate of the
city and the Roman people.
Today the marvellous Sibyl, who
grows the grain, yet goes a-hungered
who weaves the silkeu robes of pride,
yet goes threadbare; who mines the
coal and the precious ores, yet goes
cold and penniless; who rears the gor-
geous palaces, yet herds in noisome
Easements, she again appears. This
old, but ever young Sibyl, called labor,
offers to modern society the fate of
civilization.-Samuel Gompers.
