Stamp collectors have always been
the best detective agency In the matter
on counterfeit stamps. Telegraph
forms In England are filed away. and
after a lapse of time are ordered 10 be
destroyed. Hence, stamps used on
forms do not get into collectors hands
unless by connivance or evasion OF telc.

large fraud took place through the use
OF counterfeit one-shilling stamps on
telegraph forms. After 20 years q

Ghosts would frlghten many

germs. Yet the germ IS a real
danger. If this microscopic ami
malism could be magnified 60 a
size in proportion to it's deadli-
ness it would show like giant
python, or fire-breathlng dra-
gon. The one fact to remember
is that the germ is powerless to
harm the body when the blood is
pure. 1t is far easier to keep the
germ out than to drive 1T out af-
ter 1T obtains a hold in the sys-

cal Discovery is the most power

medicines. 1t increases the guam

blood, and enables the body to re-
siSt disease, or to throw it eff if
disease has obtained a footing in
some weak organ. Wherever
digestion is impaired the nutri-
ton Of the body is diminished, ,
for the blood is made from the
food which is eaten, and half di-

The Fairfield Picnic

uciI uuChiIuSo, Vic iuduJ piSooJ
young ladies present. 1t rained
for two solid hours, and Old Ju-
piter Pluvius seemed to glory in
the way he sent the moisture
through the seive. Hence, push
ing, progressive Fairfield, with
It's auditorium not yet covered,
left the crowd of 400 of the yeo-
many of northern Marion and
southern Alachua in deplorable
plight. Closed carriages were
we'll patronlzed; every nook and
corner of shed room, dwelling
and railroad station held Its
moist but packed audience. And
then to see human nature rising
superior to the depressing sur
roundings marked a Mark Topley
crowd for jollity that couldn't be
duplicated in Marion or any 9TH
er county.
The greatest regret of the day
was expressed in the disagreea-
BILE weather that initiated so Sc
verely against the good ladies
and their partners, who had made
elaborate preparations to cater
to the appetltes of the crowd in
summer drinks and dcIicacies,
the proceeds of which were to go
towards erecting q. new church.
1t is doubtful If those people re-
allied the first cost on their ma
terial.
NOTES

brought in large excursion par
ty, among them being DR.. Mont
gomery and DR.. Watkins, the
latter one of Alachua's able leg
islative representatives.
Hon. M. L. Payne was there
in his glory, with 'two in hand"
and his fine family.
County Commissioner w. b.
Allen, with his estimable wife
and five girls, all future beauties
of Mclntosh, were close second
to the Payne family, joined for
ces with them, took advantage of
a rift in the clouds to spread
their tempting array Of edibles,
invited IN dozen or more of
their friends and supplied them
with diuner fit for the gods, in
which this scribe was included.
AS we did so did others, and the
result was that all were bounti-
fully led and fragments remained
for another regiment.
We can only repeat that that
section of Marion county is the
fat side and rib bone of the BAN
ner portion of the state. No
matter what the drawback in
the season, there is always plen-
ty to eat. Fairfield moves on tC-
ward progress and expansion.
Among the ladies who took an
active interest in the church ben
eft were Mrs. Gattrell, Mrs.
Bobbitt and Mrs. Edwards.
e. P. Thagard fell into good
hands, for he was on old stamp
ing ground and among friends.
Hon. w. K. Zewadski received
great personal discomfort from
the weather and superabun-
dance of tempting edibles. His
appetite was good, his capacity
better, but the edlbles were best
and outdid him. This was fol-
lowed by severe attack Of men,

great a storage of ideas which he
had absorbed to be used in an adj
