Make the Most of Yourself

1t is the duty of every man to
make the most of himself. What
ever his capacities may be, he is
sure to find some place where he
can be useful to himself and to
others. But he cannot reach his
highest usefulness without good
health and he cannot have good
health without pure blood. The
blood circulates to every organ
and tissue and when it is pure,
rich and healthy it carries health
to the entire system, but if it is
impure it scatters disease where
ever it flows. Hoods Sasaparilla
is the one true blood purifier. 1t
cures salt rheum, scrofula, ca
tarrE, dyspepsia and rhematism
because these diseases have their
origin in the blood.

White Fly VS.. Brown Fungus.

The Star takes great pleasure
in commencing the action of H.
X. Smith and Harry Clarkson in
sending off after brown fungus,
which they will put on their trees
to kill the pest of the orange tree,
the white fly. There should be
unity of action in this matter and
every person who las an orange
tree and wishes to preserve it
should get some of this fungus.
Don't expect your neighbor to
do for you what, under the cir
cumstances, is your bounden duty
to do for yourself.
The "white fly is q destructive
insect and the "brown fungus" is
sure death. Do your duty to
yourself and fellow men in this
matter.

Br00kSviile Bank Settlement.

Proceedings have just been had
in the circuit court by which the
court made an order for Receiver
j. j. Hall Of the Brooksville State
Bank TO dispose of all of the bank
assets, which enabled him to
make an immediate and final set
tlem4nt with the creditors of the
bank Of A. cents on the dollar.
The bank owed $1,000 divided
among 139 creditors. @. G..
StapyIton, receiver of the Mer-
chants National bank of this city,
came over yesterday from Or
Inond to assist in the business.
He got 81, ,582, which he let the
hungry Star man gaze upon, for
the National City bank of New
York, with which the bank
had pledged that amount of the
BrOoksviIle banks paper. +. b.
COogIer of BroOksville was rep
rcsenting the National Bank of
Jacksonville, Fla, which institu-
tion held $4,000 in notes of the
BroOksville bank as collateral for
what the Merchants bank owed
them. G. G.. Martin of Brooks
Vile was attorney for the receiv-
er. 1t was largely through the
in5trumentallty of Vice-Presl-
dent Judge w. S. jennings that
this satisfactory state of affairs
was arrived at. The receiver will
not be discharged for a short
time, pending the settlement of
some minor matters, but the af-
fairs are practically all settled
and the creditors have their
money.

Some OF our country exchanges

Mr.. Bryan q great man in any sense
Of the word, and this from a Demo-
cratic standpoint. He vas a lawyer
without practice, a politician cut of
a job, and making q %precarions liy-
ing on the staff of q one horse news-
paper and offered to surrender that
for a position as press agent for a
theatrical company. However he is
entitled to credit for bringing the
cheap money snake from its hiding
place and giving the people a chance
to hruise its head.--Crowley Creole.

While we don't come under the
