During our vacation we took
particular note of stores, their
stock, the display of their goods
and the general appearance of
their places of business. Espe-
cially was our attention directed
to the appearances of grocery
stores, for many inquiries were
made US about the cost of living
in Florida and the class OF goods
carried by our merchants. We
make the statement, without de-
slrlng to be invldious, that of the
many places visited, which in size
and trade correspondent to Ocala's
places of business, did we find
one store that made a speciality
of groceries that In quality of
stock, attractive appearance of
of the display made of goods, and
the reasonableness of prices for

compare with Ocala's Teapot
Grocery. The gratifying refiec-
ton made us proud Of our Teapot
merchants, Abe and Jake Brown,
and the high position they occu-
ply In the grocery world as pur-
veyors to the public.
The editor made another dis
covcry, that the merchants he met
with and whose places of business
he visited in towns of the size of
Ocala in no wise compared with
our Ocala merchants as liberal
advertisers. In fact some of our
friends who had been reading the
Star remarked that when 1t came
to advertising their merchants
were not In it with Ocala's along
that line.

AND BELT BUCKLES

So many dainty little devices are necs-

would be hard for most people if it were
not for the importation OF the imitation

TANK SHOOTING IN INDIA.


Tank shooting, owing to the numer-

are called, with which nearly the whole
OF India is covered. seldom fails to al

of October, and commence leaving
about the end of February, and during
their stay are to be found in every suit

method followed in this sort OF shooting
IS generally the same. and the follow

numbers during the last few days. two

a large tank about ten miles on. on

RAG TINE DOOMED.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.1
That trick of music known to the pro-
fessional as syncopatiOn, and to the
public as rag time, IS responsible for
evil of no uncertain character. In this
city the onslaught of The Georgia
Campmeeting'' brought about the res
ignatiOn Of the president of one Of
our greatest financial institutions The
the worst day on - Change" but he re-
fused to countenance an inpr0mptu
'cake-Walk' every time that a hurdy-
gurdy stopped in front of the building
and struck up the popular melody. Now
we note that the tenement dweIIers in
New York have been driven from their
usual pleasure places on the piers by
the orders issued to the bands to play
nothing but popular airs Popular
airs" to a band master means only one
thing, and that is ''rag-time.''
The trick of ''rag-tine' is an old one
revived with great success by modern
music writer's. and for the most part
the resurrection IS to be regretted. For
every single composition in that
rhythm that is good there are a hun
bred or more that have to be borne
with and whose sins have to be for
given It is the easiest form Of must
cal expression to write, and when all
things are considered it really ex-
presses nothing. In its place syncopa-
ton has high musical value but when
a whole composition is based upon It
becomes a musical crime. The human
ear and the human heart desire some
thing more than a suspended accent to
give it lasting pleasure.
Rag time is doomed to pass away
in the very near future or all signs lie.
When the public begins to tire Of a
style of music and keeps away from a
pleasure place because that class of
of all else, the end can not be very far
away.
