Tax collector Willard is going to
get after peddlers and travelling
statesmen VINO sell goods at retail
from house to house. At the last
meeting of the board of county COM
missioners the injustice to town and
country store keepers who pay license

in allowing itinerant merchants to
sell without license, was discussed,
and the tax collector requested to
enforce the law.
Rev. 7. P. Hay of the Presbyte-
rian church preached to the Presby-
terians of Gainesville last Sunday,
at which time he formally an
nounced to the church of that city
the fact that the Suwanee Presby-
terry had dissolved the pastoral rela-
ton which has existed between the
church and Rev. E. w. Way, at the
request of the pastor. Mr.. Hays

in high terms by the Gainesville
papers.

and Hartig immedeatly proceeded to
tie the knot. 1t is not stated at what
hour the wedding breakfast was

The name of that distinguished
Floridain, Col. Robert w. Davis, is
now connected with the next gov
enorship of Florida, but are these
parties sure that Col. Bob will accept
this honor III preference to the United
States senatOrship? There are
friends of his who want him to enter
the race for senator. Whatever may
be the political future of Col. Bob
Davis, no man claims a warmer spot
in the hearts of the people of this
state than he.-VOlusia County

A very quiet wedding occurred in
in this city at the residence of Mr..

Sanford, Fla. The ceremony was
performed By Judge NJ. l. Coke.
Only a few intimate friends of the
couple witnessed the nuptials. Mr..

wishes of numerous friends here for
many years of unalloyed happiness.
They will make their home in this

Harry Tracy, the Outlaw" was
brought to bay in cornfield in regu-
lation style at Frys opera house last
Monday night before a good sized
audience. There were several MUIR
ders in the play, for it was Harry's
method, it will be remembered, to
perforate sheriffs and deputy sheriffs
on sight. These fellows, however,
had the good sense to die back of the
scenes, so that the real carnage was
left largely to the imagination. Be-
sides the drama proper, there were
many clever specialties, and the
dancing, bicycle trick riding, ETC., is
said by spectators to have been worth
more than the price of admission.
The show as an entirety measured
well up to the average entertainment
visiting Palatka.

Good Health

and pure blood are ,inseparable. If
your blood is bad, your health must suf-
fer. Poor blood allows the body to lose
vitality just as a poor fire under the
boiler allows the steam to run down.
From poor blood to impure blood is but
a step, and impure blood is mother to a
large percentage of human ills. DR..
Harter's Iron Tonic is an antidote for
both poor and impure blood, for it is
both builder and purifier "a food
and a medicine. 1t is the best combi-
nation of the kind known to medical
science, and its success for nearly half
a century has led to its endorsement by
thousands of medical men who have
been unable to find substitute.

EXPLAINS THE REASON.
A. NJ. Smith Tells the Cause of
Present High Prices of Meats.

A. NJ. Smith, who has an oppor-
tunity for determining the meat
situation, gives it as his opinion
that within six weeks the prices of
meats will be no higher than in
former years. The ouly exception
to this will be for extra cornfeds.
The reason for thinking so is that
the grass stuff will at that time be
in sufficient quantity to bring the
market down to the normal con
dition. There is no scarcity of
beef stock, as the West is full of
choice young steers which will 90
on the market ms soon rs the grass
will make them fat, and this will
Immediately relieve he beef situa.
tion, for he says as soon as one is
fat enough for beef, thousands of
others will also be ready,
The consumers do not realize
what is brought to bear upon the
retail dealers by the high prices
now being paid for meats, The
consumers of this town have only
been asked to stand about one
half the raise that has actually oc-
CURED and thus the retailers were
compelled to stand the brunt.
Some of the packing houses are
limiting their statesmen in the
sale of the quantity of beef, thus
showing that even at the advance
of prices asked, the packing houses
are in sore straits to secure n sufh-
cient supply to meet the demand.
The people of the United States
have been used to cheap and good
cornfed meats and it is hard for
them to realize what the cutting of
the corn crop in two means until
they are compelled to pay the
high prices brought about by the
shortage.

A sellers failure to label a Jug con-
tanning gosojine, as required by statute
requiring that no gasoline shall be sold
unless the vessel containing it has been
labeled "Gasoline", constituting negli-
gence under decision of the Supreme
Court of Iowa, in the case of Ives VS..
Weldon Isl N. w. Rep, 1857 and
renders the seller liable for injuries
resulting to purchaser occasioned by
the explosion of the gasoline. In this
case girl about Is years Of age was
burned by the explosion of gasoline
which she was using for starting fire,
supposing it to be kerosene oil. The
clerk who sold the jug of gasoline she
used neglected to label it, as required
by statute, and she was ignorant of the
fact that it contained gasoline. The
court held that the failure TO label was
negligence per Sc, because it was viola
ton of the statutory requirements.

j. w. Bashaw.

The CenterVllle lOWeglan publishes
the following obituary Of j. w. Bashaw
of that city, who died on Monday of
last week. The deceased was brother
of ]. r. Bashaw Of this city.
j. w. Bashaw, whose illness has been
frequently noted in these columns
passed away yesterday about 5 p. m.
1t will be remembered that some five or
six weeks ago he fell on an icy place and
hurt the lower part of his spine. An
abscess formed and blood poison set in
settling in his right leg, from which he
has suffered untold misery. The foot
became entirely dead and nothing but
amputation would give any chance for
life. A council of physicians was held
on Friday night but the conditions were
such that an operation was not justified
at that time. On Sunday afternoon the
conditions were more favorable and
Drs. Mcfarland, Brown, James and
Bowen decided that it would not do to
defer the operation longer, and the leg
was amputated just above the knee.
He was in the best of spirits and insisted
that he would stand the operation all
right and get we'll. He made his will
and insisted that he would live to tear it
| up. He came out from under the iDtlu
ence of the aneasthetic all right, but
when the reaction set in he gradually
sank, his heart action being defective
and about p. M, twenty-four hours
after the operation he ceased to breathe.
The funeral will take place tomorrow,
"Wednesday from the Nj. E. church at
2 p. M. conducted by his pastor, Rev.
A. v. Kcndrck and Centerville Lodge
No. IS, I. o. o. F., of which order he
has been member for many years.
Joseph w. Bashaw was born in Gull
pepper county, Virginia, January %,
1915, and consequently was few days
i. over 81 years of age. His parents came
to Iowa in 1854, coming all the way by
team and settled in Blakesbury, Wapellc
county. He was one of large family
of boys and girls. He learned the
wagon making trade with his father and
has followed that business all his life
In April, 1867, he married Miss Nancy
CASTOR and to them eight children have
been born, five of whom, with theil
mother still survive him, three dying in
infancy.
/ He Joined the Methodist church when
a mere boy and has been a member O
that church all of his adult life. Hi
was man of strict honesty and sterling
integrity and in his death the con
munity has lost useful member. Mar
and boy, we have been intimatel,
acquainted with him for As years and
can truthfully say that he was neve
known to do any act Of which he neet
be ashamed.

What penalty the cheap man has to
pay! He is always trying to jew people
down and looking for the cheapest stuff
he can find. 1t is the stuff he gets that
is cheap, not the price, and he gets the
worst end of every bargain. If you ex-
pect to get full value for the money
you spend, pay reasonable price.
Merchants, as rule, have certain lines
of goods for the tcheap people,, and
the stuff is dear at any price. They
don't like to carry the cheap stuff but
the demands of the cheap people compel
them to do it, Don't make the mistake
of thinking that the poor people are

two bills, one to prevent divorce for Il
cause that is not ground for divorce in
the state where the cause arose, but is a

moves. The other bill is to prevent
persons from remarryiDg within six
months after divorce is secured.
