The Christmas festival is asso-
ciated with the best feelings and
sentiments of the human heart and
marks the brightest spaces in
nearly every persons life. 1t COM
prehends all that the child heart
can enjoy and thrills many an old
one with happiness lived in the
past. A celebration instituted in

nativity should suggest all that is
good, pure and holy and charity,
beneficence and good will should
fill the Christmas interval. The
WEEKLY wishes all it's readers and
the whole world a merry, happy
Christmas.

State Prohibition.

We believe the friends of tenn
perance will make q mistake by
forcing State Prohibition as an is
sue in the election next year. Lo-
cal option is good enough, if only
the community adopting it has the
moral stamina 10 enforce it, and
many communities have that, as is
evidenced all over the State.
A moral question like temper
ance cannot be coerced. 1t must
be rooted in education and ground
ed in civilization. Local option
contemplates reaching the end in
that way and should not be inter
fered with. Already sixty-two out
of the seventy five counties in
Mississippi have repudiated the
saloon of their own voiition.
What better progress could be ex-
pected or desired? Better not
clothe the temperance question in
the political garb of Estate prohi-
bition." There are thousands Of
friends of local option, or the dis
pensary even, all temperance folks,
who will not follow the lead.

Resolutions OF. Sorrow.

This Lodge, composed In the
main of young and strong men, has
a second time suffered the loss of a
member by death. Bowles Clop-
ton was one of the charter men,
bers Of the Lodge. His well-knit.
active body, his unbroken health.
his ever buoyant spirits. all proph-
esied for him long life. 1t is diff
cult to associate the idea of death
with his memory. Some men carry
death about with them as if the
"grim monster" were their twin
brother; some scout death and
keep not his company and live in
an air of apparent security. OF
this latter class was our deceased
brother. But the dread foe of all
the race is oft times fond of ex-
plotting his prowess and of cap
turing impregnable citadels and
proving his relentless and never
ending warfare.
Bowles Clopton was endowed
with an intelligence keen as
Damascus blade. His educational
advantages had been superior. He
was the pride of his highly es-
teemed father, who so shortly pre-
ceded him, and of his mother and
sister left behind. He was manly
and frank. His likes and dislikes
were well defined. Let us praise
his virtues and forgive his faults.
Be it Resolved, accordingly, By
the Aberdeen Lodge of Benevolent
and Protective Order of Elks, that
in the death of Bowles Clopton
our brotherhood has lost an en-
thusiastic and loyal mem ber, whose
sudden end was alike unexpected
aud deplorable.
Second, That in memory of
him we exemplify the chief motto
of noble order by writing his
virtues on the tablet of love and
memory.
Third, That We offer to the
members of his bereaved family
our tenderest sympathy and CON-
mend the spirit of our brother to
the care of the Exhalted Ruler of
the world.
Fourth, That this sudden and
unexpected sorrow shall quicken
in the hearts of US all that charity
which vaunteth not itself, but
which is kindly one towards an
other. Be it resolved,
Fifth, That these resolutions
be spread on our minutes and that
copies be furnished the family OF
our brother aud the city papers
for pu blication.

A few nestors of journalism in
Mississippi and several pen pushers
of newspapers in the larger towns
are discrediting the efforts of edi-
tors of papers in the smaller towns.
These gentlemen are not wanting
in conceit, but in modesty, and
have forgotten, no doubt, that
broadness of intellect is character
lied by charity, rather than by
criticism; also that true greatness
never seeks to magnify itself by
with the small. Let
the country editor alone. He is
doing the best he can, and consid-
ering his environments, is accom-
plishing more than some of his
city contemporaries who spend
most of their time in blowing their
own horns instead of advancing
the public interest.

the reasons why SCOTS

The Piano Recital.

The piano recital, under the au-
spices of the Home Mission Society of
the Methodist church, at the armory
Tuesday night was a complete success
in every particular.
There were at. least two hundred
present and from the strict attention
and applause given each piece, the
program must have been very much
enjoyed.
The first number was duet by Miss
Wartmann and Mrs. Hooker who are
both thorough Musicians. This is
the first time that they have been
heard in Ocala and their playing wss
pronounced superb.
Each of the numbers of the pro-
gram were generously applauded and
much enjoyed.
The vocal qTartette by Miss Cald-
well, Mrs. Coin, Mr. &. :. Cullen and
Mr.. ID. =. Woodrow was very beauti-
full aud well rendered.
Miss Mary Frances Drake, of Au-
burn, Ala, captured the entire audi
ence with her violin. Her playing is
exquisite and she was repeatedly en-
cored. She is as attractive as she is
accomplished, and the ladies of the
church were indeed fortunate in hav-
ing her with them.
Miss Addie Hansbrough, who has
already won an enviable reputation in
our city, recited in a very pleasing
manner and was compelled to respond
To an encore.
The cornet solo by Mr.. Albert Gerig
was an admirable production and no
piece on the program was more en-
joyed.
The singing Of Mrs. +. II. Mote, of
Leesburg, and Miss Rosa Vardell
Caldwell, of Butler, Ga, was of very
high order and fully reached the ex-
pectatiOns of their audience. They
are both musicians Of rare ability
and it was a great pleasure to listen
10 them.
The concluding number was a con-
certO in B minor by Mrs. Hooker and
Miss Wartmann, on two pianos. This
vas very greatly enjoyed and was
enthusiastically applauded.
A pretty feature of the entertain
ment was the young lady ushers who
acted their parts very charmingly.
They were Misses Esther Weathers,
Emily Ford, Lena Bullock, Mona Hill
Ter and Sara Harris.
1t is seldom that the people of Ocala
have had a rarer treat and spent two
hours more pleasantly.
The entire program was well rem
dered and fiawless.

THE PANAMA CANAL. FLAGONS AND STEMS
NEGOTIATIONS WITH COLOMBIA
PROCEED.
The United States VIII Pay About
100000 For Colombia's Exclusive
ights-France Helping the Title.

WASHINGTON, July 4.-Negotia-
tions for the treaty between the Unit
ed states and colombia, ~ which we
will acquire the right to build the
Panama canal, will begin in about one
week, Minister Concha of Colombia
having conferred with Secretary Hay.
Mr. Hay will not be in the city for the
next few days and on his return the
negotiations will begin. Minister Con-
cha has been fully clothed with au-
IhoriUy to proceed with the treaty. The
main features of the treaty are pretty
well settled, as the protocol signed
some time ago was quite full in setting
forth the prospective arrangement in
case Congress acted favorably on the
Panama route.
The amount to be paid Colombia for
q REIMBURSEMENT of exclusive lights to
the United States will be $1,000, 600 in
gold, payable on the exchange of ratifi-
cations of the treaty, and in addition
Colombia is to receive an annuity AZ
the end of fourteen years, to be deter
mined by mutual agreement at that
time. This annuity is expected to be
100000 a year. In transferring the
rights of Colombia to the United States
the language used by the act of Con-
Gress will be followed to a considerable
extent, and there will be a transfer of
such jurisdiction over the siX-mle
zone as will permit the exercise OF
American authority, with American
courts, sanitary officers, police, etc .
The question of transferring complete
control or sovereignty is about the on
~ point which could raise obstacles,
but it is understood this point will be
avoided, as the action of Congress
seems tC contemplate a change of jul
riSdiCtiOn and not a transfer of pOlit-
zeal sovereignty
The Colombian officials at Washing
ton look forward to a successful con-
summation of the negotia tons They
say, however, that there is far less
popular demand in Colombia for the
Panama canal than there is in Nicara-
qua Cor the Nicaragua route and this
apathy may delay the conclusion of
negotiations. The treaty will have Ia
be ratified by the United States Sen
ate and the Colombian Congress be-
fore it becomes effective.
