and at the moment The scene will
httingly proclaim that women are not
isss fair nor men less brave than when
the reign of the troubadours was felt
like a heart-throb throughout the
world and the reproach of woman led
to fierce personal combat and her fair
name was treasured as the "holy of
holies."
When we state that this beautiful
feature of the day will be under the
immediate direction and supervision
of Mr.. Edw. l.. Mcintosh, of the Ri
fies, an expert hOrseman and thor
oughly familiar not only with the
rules but the spirit governing the Eli
iquette of Knight Errantry, ii Is suffi-
cient to say this part of the programme
will be magnificent success-a true
picture of the dazzling scenes when
chivalry held full sway and controlled
all noble and manly emotions.
The committee on arrangements has
not only provided feast" for the
Glow of soul,n but realizing that our
country cousins will stand in need of
some substantials while the eye is fed
on so much beauty, has prepared a
barbecue at which ample provision
will be made for all and hamper bas-
kets to spare. The viands are to be so
! temptingly prepared as to even invite
epicures to eat. This part of the pro-
gramme is under the direction of Capt.
IL. X. Smith, who is a cOnnoisseur and
is taking special pride in the prepara-
tions, He knows that the eloquence
of orators and the resplendent beauty
of "fair women and brave men," will
not stay the cravings of hunger. so he
is determined that for once at least the
wants of all shall be fully satisfied.
He has obtained enough wooden plates
to feed multitude and says no one
shall be overlooked. The dinner will
be served pic mic fashion, All will
fare alike and all sumptuously. The
bill of fare will include beef, mutton,
pork, rice, bread, pastry, and all the
scceteras that go make good dinner.
Ii will he cooked and garnished in
manner to give az appetite to a
wooden image much less to hungry
men.
Over the gates leading to the bar
becue this sign will be conspicuousIy
displayed: Eat, drink and be mer-
ry."
And yet that is not all
The lighter part satisfied with the
dazzling gaieties; the grosser part with
the substantials, there is yet reserved
q feast for the intellectual.
The committee on arrangements has
wisely made it day ministering 10
the whole wants of man the light,
fanciful and tickle; the gross and car
nal; the higher and intellectual.
Food, both dainty and solid, for the
latter will be supplied by Hon. Frank
Clark, one of the most polished, or
nate, spirited and captivating speakers
tbe state lays claim to. He never fails
to win both laughter and applause and

nate enough to hear hlm. He is a
side-splitter and soul-searcher
He will be ably assisted 10y Col. I. p.

Ocala never does things by halves.
She tabooes the shabby genteel." She
bores with "a big, proud augur. She
goes tie full length. She rides the
big elephant. AS novel and attrac-
tive day the Goth is to he memorable
in her historic annals of memorable
days. For genuine levity the decree
has gone forth that it shall be un.
riValled.
A ''horse swapping fair" while nov.
el here, is common form of amuse-
ment in the older states; is always
looked forward to with pleasure and
always largely attended. 1t affords
peek measures of fun.
Bring in your swapping stock-any-
thing in the shape of four-footed ar.
imal, and see if you possess better
trading qualities than your neighbor.
The motto selected for this particular
feature of the day is the old familiar
one to politicians: "Do others OF
they'll do you"
The more animals brought in; the
more swapping done, the more amuse-
ment. It is expected that there'll be
cavalcade of blind horses, SPAWN
horses, horses with the lifts, tackeys,
scrubs and bronchos, but there'll be
no embargo against trading for good
stock. Remember that. Bring in the
best you've got. Let's show the world
what Marion county can do in the
line of handsome. improved stock
Let's make it, good people, day SC
historic that it will set the pace fol

famous as horse swapping mart.

Linseed Oil From Tiaxseed.

Flaxseed OIL or linseed oil, is obtained
by pressure from tho seed Of flax. The
seeds are usually stripped from the dry
lax stalks, a handful at a time, through "a
set of iron teeth, standing in row, half
an inch at the top and quarter OF an inch
at the bottom. The seed bolls are then
well dried and thrashed and winnowed TO
remove the outside hull, or capsule, from
the seed. The latter are then ground in
mills and tho powder is subjected TO power
ful hydraulic pressure. which extracts the
oil. Sometimes the seed is roasted before
grinding because the heat destroys the
gummy matter in the interior coating of
the seeds. The oil is therefore secured
more free from mucilago, but it is of "a
higher color ana of more acrid taste than
that expressed from the raw seed. st.
