| Successful Tobacco Grower,

Mr.. Darius Lapham, who occu-
pies the F. E. Bugbee place on
Ft. King avenue, now owned by
81. Burdorf, of New York, de-
termined last spring to go into
the growing of tobacco and has
succeeded so well that he is now
harvesting three acres and a
third, of what is deemed excellent
tobacco. We have seen most of
the patches grown around Ocala
and so far have seen none that
compares with Mr.. Lapham's
crop, in perfect stand and uni
form growth. Before he began
cutting his tobacco, which is now
being cured at Roots stable, the
patch presented very beautiful
picture, so pleasing to the eye
and inspiring to the heart of the
tobacco grower that Mr.. Henry
Curtis, of Quincy, an authority
on tobacco, was so impressed
with the perfect stand that he
haG our artist, Mr.. Gottlieb, take
a number of views of the patch.
The Star congratulates Mr.. Lap
ham on his success and trusts
there will be many to initiate his
example.

A Good Hotel.

The Montezuma hotel is be.
coming very popular again and is
regaining it's old time popularity
under the management of Mrs.
Palmer. The table that is being
set this summer is exceptionally
fine and the cooking is very su-
perior and the patronage of the
house during the past few months
fully bears out these statements.

The full intensity of living is
reached only by the perfectly
healthy. Sickness discounts the
capacity for enjoyment. If his
body is all out of order and run
down, he will not be able to en-
joy anything, no matter how full
of enjoyment it may be for other
people. If he is just little bit
out of order, if he 'is not sick,
but doesn't feel just right" he
will only be able TO enjoy things
in a half-hearted sort of way.
The nearer he is to being perfect
ly well, the nearer will his capac-
ity for enjoyment be perfect. Ii
this condition doesn't exist

the Maple Ridge highway. resides Pardon Bell.
The family consi' ted OF Bell and his wife; Win
fred Bell, . son by a previous marriage, who is
a deaf-mute; two younger children, and n half
demented sister OF Bell. On Labor Day Bell drove
away in his wagon. and later the younger
children went %berrying. Tho mute, Winfred,
who is % years old, went down the road toward
the west, and was followed n short time after
ward by his stepmother. The nearest neighbor.
Joseph Gray. lives a quarter OF n mile away. and
between the farms and in front OF them arc
stone walls. Gray's orchard Is on the left Of the
junction formed by the walls. When Mrs. Bell
was last seen alive she was near this orchard.
She did not return to her home that night or on
the following day and a search was instituted.
II was by no means thorough and resulted in
nothing.
by the orchard on Friday night last they noticed
a peculiar odor. Investigation rev. alcd the fact
that thu M It GSmo from from the the p Iav nsar body ,Ss Of 3n the miss IS

limbs were rigid and closely locked together.
On the head was a stone weighing fifty pounds,
so carefully placed that the face was uninjured.
Other and smaller stones were placed about the
R%ulation.
Coroner Smith and District Attorney Hale OF
Canton were at the scene of the murder to-day
investigating the case. They are all at sea. as
there are few clues to work on. The mute step
son, Winfred Bell, was arrested In Malone, at
the Northern New York Institution for the Deaf
and Dumb. TO which he had returned last week
Tuesday. The only thing against him is the
finding of n watch. which was worn by the muir
dored woman. in his possession. Other theories
implicato the husband or the dementcd sister.
while many believe the murder to have been
the work OF traInps. after an attempt at assault
or robbery. Mrs. Bell was much younger than
her husband and did not live happily with him.
She had much trouble with the stepson and the
demented sister-in-law.
