MAT their fruiiiDg season is earlier than
the blackberries. Ripeting as they DO
before the blackberries, their large size
and attractive appearance usually COM
mand for them d ready sale. As class
the cultivated dewberries are less pro-
ductivo than the blackberries and bear
larger fruit Of poorer quality. In this
locality they require winter protection,
which is easily given them by throwing
few shovelfuls Of earth on the pros
trate vines.
OF the early black raspberries Eureka
and Hopkins were the most satisfactory.
Mohler, Hilborn, Baboock No. 8 and
Pioneer were the most productive mid
season varieties, while Mills, Ohio and
Onondaga were the most productive late
varieties. Cardinal, Columbian and
ShafTer were the most satisfactory Of
the purple raspberries. For early red
berries Cline and Pomona are both
worthy of trial OF the midseason,
Clark and Pride of Kent were the most
productive, but they arc valuable for
home use or local market only. Royal
Church and Cuthbert are both produc-
tive late varieties, but the former crum-
bles badly and Cuthbort does not stand
shipping we'll. Olathe and Loudon are
| quite firm and have an attractive color
which should make them valuable mar
ket varieties. The yellow berries are
desirable for home use or local market,
and of these Caroline was the most pro-
ductive of all the raspberries fruited on
the station grounds.

The English use chemical weed kill
ers for the determination of plantains
and similar large weeds on the lawn.
The Implement used is described as fol-
lows in an exchange: One consists of n
steel cutting plate at the end of tubu-
lar shaft or handle, the handle being
filed with weed killer solution. The
cutting plate sewers the root, and by n
mechanical action small portion of
the poison flows from the tubular han
die ON to the root. The root is cut and
poisoned at the same time. There is an
other tubular form that may be used as

1ranspiantins E,ergreens.

There is a saying among horticulture
lists that evergreens are better trans
planted late in the spring than earlier.
Meehan's Monthly says: at is true that,
ms rule, evergreens can be transplant
cd much later than deciduous trees, but
it is not correct that they are more sue
cessful when planted late than when
given an early chance. Indeed most
kinds of evergreens, especially of the
family of the true pines, cannot be
planted too early in the season. The
larch is not pine, although of the CO.
niferous family, and this especially de-
mands early planting"

simple Methodist ceremony.
A number of friends aud rela-
tives were present at the HAPPY
occasion and Showered their con-
gratulations on the happy young
couple. The rooms were very
prettily decorated in palm leaves.
vines and flowers. Shortly after
the ceremony the guests were
asked to adjourn to the dining
room, where most delicious
! light refreshments were abund-
autly served and over which
the partakers made merry as
they dispensed the delicacies.
Returning to the parlor, the meI-
riment was resumed, and much
amusement was caused by jolly
Mr.. Hilburn in his attempts to
arrange for another solemn occa-
sion.
The bride was really most beau
tiful in lovely creamy silk anG
flowers which blended so harmo-
niously with her delicate, lily-like
complexion. The groom of course
wore the conventional black, anG
very handsome did he look.
Mr.. VanDusen has been for a
number of years a most highly
respected young citizen of Ocala,
and has gathered around him
many warm friends. He has beer

lent member of the Metropolitan

of the most popular young ladies
in town, admired and respected
by all and has a host of friends to

Good Road Directory.

The good road directory did not
meet though called to do so by
President Charles w. Torrey, in
the court house yesterday at 3
O'Clock. The only person to re-
spond was Secretary Trask of
Belleview. Captain Cribbett was
seen in the morning, but in the
afternoon had vanished.
DR.. Torrey felt very much dis
appointed and had reason to be
for six directors had promised
him to come and not one of them
did.
Since the organization of the
association, one director, Joe
Richardson, died, and j. Meffert
resigned, being too busy to attend
the meetings, though heartily in
sympathy with the movement.
The president thinks those di.
rectors who were notified of their
election and have not yet said
that they accepted, should do so.

depressing effect, as did his COM

1t was late when the board
convened. Minutes were cor
rected so that the five mill school
tax levied should read three mills
for Ocala Sub-SchOOl district and
two mills for Mcintosh sub

followed on approval of the ad-
journed meetings which had no
quorum; Allen contending such
meetings were not held, because
of that lack of a quorum, hence
were a nullity and should not ap-
pear on the minutes, but he was
voted down as Mcleod moved
their approval, seconded by Will
hanson. Passed.
Mrs. Farmer, on pauper list at
Marti City, was granted s. addi-

would effect a valuab bic hedge
