Carson, March 6.-1It required but trif-
ling stretch of the Imagination to make
eastern visitors believe that they were
camping out when they awoke this MORN
ing. Window sills we're banked high with
snow and without great flakes we're spat-
tering everything with a soggy splash. A
coating of sush and snow obscured the
sidewalks and the highways we're ankle
deep in mud.
Chief Dave, OF the Piutes, who made a
friendly call on Chiefs Corbett and Fitz-
simmons to-day. informed the pugilists
that they need hardly expect good roads
for their morning constitutionals hereaf-
ter. Dave Is Of the opinion. however, that
March II will be clear and warm and that
the "fighting bucks may battle In war
paint without discomfort.
The big fellows were not worrying over
the capricious elements as much as might
be supposed Their present perfect con-
dition accounts for this feeling of con-
tentment Both of them know that they
are fit now and only require enough work
to keep their joints from stiffening.

boarding up the interior of his gymnas-
lam, thus converting IL into small hand
ball court. This done, he produced a SCI
OF tennis balls and shuffied
around the little room and
gave Roeber a few points in Corbett'
favorite game. When he had worked
up a little perspiration Bob turned to a
new punching bag and whacked the
stitches from two seams before the end
of twenty-one minutes. After this the
regulation amount Of boxing and wrest-
ling followed, concluding with vigorous
rundown.

"fleecy staple,' which, while not
high in price and seductive to the
general tiller of the soil, is a pro-
duct that in the hour of deepest
financial distress, always brings
the ready cash to pay our tax
bills to him who will grow it and
keep the humble roof over our
heads.
Nor does the committee pro-
pose to ignore that portion of our
population. the colored people,
who grow largely the great bulk
of cotton that this season, low as
the price is, will bring into the
tills of the merchants of Marion
county $4,000.
They, too. shall be provided for
on Fraternal Day, have their bar
becue and frOlic, too, as we'll as
their Caucasian nelghbors.
Several committees were sug-
gested, namely: finance, barbe-
cue, amusement, etc., and it was
ordered that Chairman Camp
bell be authorized to appoint the
heads Of those committees, and
they in turn should name their
assistants. OF course it is under
stood liberal prizes will be offered
in the various contests, so as
much interest as possible will be
brought into the day and the oc-
casion.
The Star feels confident it will
be a big success and what we, as
people must do from now until
the Goth Of October, is to give of
our time and substance so that
the good name of Ocala along
this direction will be maintained
and further advanced in honor of
unity, loyalty, fraternity and CO.
operative success.
We shall have much more to
say of this occasion as time
moves on.

FARMER AND MERCHANT.
Carlos L. Harter Precisely Describes
The Situation.

In the last issue of the Banner
Carlos L. Harter, an Industrious,
intelligent and progressive fruit
grower and farmer near Sparr,
contributes an article, many
points of which are admiral bly,
conceived, on the vital question
of the relations that should exist
between the producer and mer-
chant or middle man, on the aid
the latter should give the former
in disposing of his surplus crops,
and especially such products as
our lands are adapted to and our
farmers can grow largely.
Among other products he in-
stances corn. Good.
Now let the Star suggest that
the leading farmers of Marion
county send representatives to
their centers of trade, and par
ticularly to the prominent mer-
chants of Ocala, to confer with
them and ascertain the number
Of car loads of corn brought to
Ocala from other states and dis
tributed by our merchants.
Now, if at such a conference
our merchants would agree to
supply their trade with home
grown corn at price similar
commodity could be laid down
from abroad, the farmers agree
ing to supply said corn, say from
the middle of September or first
of October until the first of April
or May, the question of creating
an industry that would be mutu-
ally beneficial to the producer
and handler, would come near
reaching a solution.
Without going further into the
question at issue the Star again
respectfully submits it to all par
ties Interested.
