1t haunts its tasseled banners high
In ranks erect and clean,
The garrison of level lands
And Of the hills between.
The Armies OF the Wind and Rain
Come shouting to the fight:
Alert upon the spreading plain
The corn waits in its might.
All summer long the army stands
And beats each swaying shield,
Until the summers battle cry
Is chorused from the field.
Victorious and sturdy still
It rises from the fray,
And rustling chants of gladness fill
The long hours of the day.
The dawn's first tender. rosy blush
The hailing of the morn
Finds, shrouded IN peaceful hush,
The Army Of the Corn.
But friendly breezes come and go
Till dying afternoon
Hears, family signing, soft and low,
The echo of a Groom.
And so, serene and bold and brave,
All through the summer long
The cleaning banners proudly wave
In cadence with the song,
Until the golden autumn morn
When there will come to spoil
The standing Army of the Corn,
The hopeful Troop of Toll.

Mrs. Simpkins was often influenced
uneonsciously by Johnnic's pro-
grcssive spirit, although the spirit
sometimes moved too fast and was
suddenly checked IN manner well
known to al boys.
The greatest victory IN Johns
Life was when he rebellcd against
eating soda crackers that had alb
sorbed too much of the grocery
store atmosphere, and gave evil
dence of familiar association with
the mackere1 barrel and kerosene
can.
Mrs. Simpkins said they tasted
exactly like the crackers they had
been eating a11 their lives, to which
Johnnie agreed, bot he further said
they were not In it with the biscuit
Willie Smith brought to school, all
sealed Up IN an alright box.
Here the matter was dropped,
because Johnnie discovered the
danger signal IN time, and side
tracked the subject.
The next day while Mrs. Simp-
kins was talking to neighbor, a
close observer wou1d have seen
Johnnie cautiously slipping into the
back door with mysterious pur-
pie package tucked under one arm.
This was carefully opened and part
OF the contents neatly piled on one
of the large Bloc plates which his
mother usually used to serve such
things. When Mrs. Simpkins
came in, she picked up one of the
new biscuit as a matter of habit
and started to MUNICH It.
"Why, john" she cxclaimed,"I
don't see anything wrong IN that;

How Johnnie Simpkins Cured His Mothel
of an Old-F fashioned Habit

Mrs. Simpkins was a housewife
of the old school, staid and particu-
lar. Her habits were the develop
ment of many generations, dating
back to the good old days of
Puritan custom.
It is true that Mrs. Simpkins had
long ago abandoned the spinning
wheel and no longer burned ta1low
dips, but In many things she still
clung to the old fashioned notions
of her mother and her mothers
mother. She made her own soap
for the same reason that she stiff
bought her soda crackers IN a
brown paper bag: because It was
the habit of her ancestors, and
what was good enough for them
must be good enough for her.
The Simpkins household had
always been conducted on this
good principle, and It is possible
that nothing would ever have
changed the precise routine of
affairs, bot for the beginning of
another generation IN the person of
Jonathan, IT,, better known to the
ncighbors as plain Johnnie
Simplins.
At thirteen, It was evident that
Johnnie had been born into the
wrong family. There was none of
the real Simpkins about John. He
was ali that was progressive-some-
times he was more.
Johnnic's first indication of the
Strenuous character was to convince
his mother that 1t was more desir-
able to boy trousers to fit him than
to abbreviate those previously worn
by Simpkins the elder. Alter that,

it tastes as If 1t had come right from
the oven" Bot she looked little
surprised and examined the next
biscuit critically.
"My, but that's goodI think
III make cup of tea and get sonH
jam. The idea of your saying
these crackers taste fishy. III just
have to take some of these new
tangled ideas out of your head.r
And then she closely examined
another biscuit.
"U-N-E-E-D-Ag Well, swan,
If there amt a name right on that
cracker. They must have got
mixed IN with that bag l bought
yesterday" And then she glanced
toward Johnnie, whose eyes were
shining like two evening stars.
"No, they didn't, mother.
Uneeda Biscuit don't come IN no
paper bag, they conn all sealed
up IN a package ike this" And
Johnnie disclosed his treasure.
Slowly Mrs. Simpkins took the
package and looked at It inside and
out, spelled out the mystic word
In-er-seal" on the end, sampled
another of the biscuit, and asked
Jonathan, "where did VOC get
these ?"
ooh, / spent that nickel you
gave me for school. Amt they
bully, mar"
"Well, l always thought =
cracker was a cracker, bot most
say, these beat anything ever
tasted" and then Mrs. Simpkins
made the tea and got out the jam.
Another reform had taken place
IN the Simpkins household.

NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY

Patrons OF the Street Railway Com
pany Object to the ListIess Way
Cars are Run.
FRANCHISE is BEING VIOLATED
Company Alleged to be Showing Favorite-
the Expense of other Portions.

Now that the Kenosl1a Electric Rail-
way company has its cars in operation
the people of the city are anxious that
some schedule be made public in regard
to the time of the rnnning of the cars.
At the present time it would require
the services of a Philadelphia lawyer
to figure out just when car will pass
a stated point. The provisions of the
franchise ordinance state that car
must pass every point on the line at
least every half hour Of the
running time during the day, but this
rule is being overlooked by THE super-
intendent and it seems that the cars
are being run at hit or miss schedule
that is exceedingly hard of solution.
Often the two cars follow each other
up Milwaukee avenue, and one of them
waits at the Market street switch until
the other passes and then starts back
to the north. This is all very we'll for
the North side patrons of the line, but
there are great many people on the
South side of the city that desire to
use the cars and for this reason they
are asking that the cars be placed on
schedule so that the people can tell
where and when to get them. Of
course it means lots of business for
the company to have both of the cars
near the Hosiery works at quitting
time and that at least one Of them
meets the cars of the M, r. & K. line,
but even if this is true the people
Of other portions of the line are COM
planning of poor service.
One prominent business man on
Elizabeth street declares that there was
but one car went over the Elizabeth
street portion of the line Wednesday
afternoon and that many passengers
waited along the line for the coming Of
cars and finally gave up in despair and
walked down town. Of course they
have walked before and it is proba BILE
that they could continue to walk, but
these people insist that the service de-
manded In the ordinance be given to
them. OF course it is great accom-
mediation to few people to have the
cars run in this 1istless manner, but
the people demand regular schedule
which can be depended upon.
With the opening of the line the
people have been most 1enient with the
company and few complaints have
been made but if the service is not
regulated the patrons of the company
promise to appeal to the city council
for aid in the matter. Whether the
cars run hourly or half hourly the peo-
pie should be advised as to when the
cars can be expected.
There seems to be no further doubt
as to the success of the line, as the
company is carrying from four to five
hundred passengers daily and the ex-
pense of operating the line has been
reduced to minimum.

At the regular meeting of the Water
Commissioners at the City Hall
Wednesday afternoon petition was
presented from the people of the North
side demonstrating against the placing
Of the proposed standpipe on the en-
CINE house lot on that side Of the city.
The remonstrance claimed that the
standpipe would be an eyesore and a
nuisance. The member of the Com
mission took no action on the remon-
STRANGE, but it is probable that some
other location for the standpipe will be
found later on. The Commissioners
had arranged to select this location on
account of the fact that this was the
location called for in the original sur.
vey for the water system.

Disturbing Pub lie Worship.
BREEZE.

For some2weeks past great excite
ment prevailed in the Mill Greek
dIstrictsin the Ecase in which it is
charged that Mr.. E. T. Gale was
disturbing public worship.
Mr.. Gale was brought to Ocala
several times but the case did not
come TO trial Iuntil Tuesday when it
was tried twice before Hon. Robert
Bullock, Judge of the county court.
In both cases the jurors could not
agree and of course resulted in a
mis-trial.
The case was finally dismissed by
Judge Bullock and the defendant set
at liberty.
The frs, jury consisted of the fol-
lowing gentlemen: J. F. Crawford,
T. o. Stewart, w. 5. Gaskins, r. r.
Carroll and J. Starr Stern berger.
Those composing the second jury
were ?. J. Peacher, E. T. Williams,
w. H. LuffmaU, w. A. MOOrehead, s.
Z. Civils and w. F. Dillaberry.
1t seems Ithat after Rev. II. c.
Martin, who occupied the pulpit at
Mill Creek on a certain Sunday, had
finished his sermon and dismissed the
congregation, an ASSOCIATION of the
deacOns was held, Rev. Martin acting
as moderator. 1t was at this time
that Mr.. Gale asked if he could not
speak to Mr.. Martin. The moderator
asked him if he could not wait until
the close of the association. He said
no, thatIhe preferred speaking to him
then. Mr.. Martin called brother to
act in Misplace and he and Mr., Gale
went Outiand sat on log and instead
of speaking about spiritual Mr.. Gale
brought up worldly affairs. And this
was theI. disturbance. But all the
same the neighborhOOd is all torn up
about it.

This is busy week in Gaiterville.
All the farmers are en- gagged In fodder
pulling.
The rain has at last ceased, at least
for awhile, which makes Ene wealth
er for the present work.
Mr.. Henry Jordan, of Georgia, who
has been visiting relatives and friends
in Heidtville and GaiterviIle for some
time past, is expected to leave for his
home this week. Mr.. Jordan was at
one time resident of this section, in
fact his bOyhood days were spent IN
this portion of the beautiful land of
flowers. We would gladly welcome
him in our midst again and he speaks
of returning.
Some of the young men of Cater
Vile attended the barbecue at Her
nando July IL, and report having g
fine time and it is natural to suppose
they did.
That dreaded disease, scarlet fever.
has again made It's entrance in Gal
terville and owing to this cause the
Sunday school at Cedar Grove has
been suspended until the first Sunday
in August. Notwithstanding the
danger of this terrible disease all the
present cases are in a fair way toward
recovery.
Mr.. E. Parker and charming daugh-
ter, Jessie, Of Cotton Plant, were
Gaiterville visitors last week, the
guest of Mr.. c. L. Stokes.
We hear some OF our n neighbOrs are
expecting to leave Gaiterville. They
claim they are looking for better To-
cations but We fear if this be their
intentions they will leave the best as
we believe GaitervIlle is the Eden
spot of Florida.
Some of the young people gathered
at r. d. Stokes residence Sunday
evening and enjoyed pleasant hour
singing.
We hear there is to be new street
in our little burg, or at least a new
name for one of the old ones, but at
present we are not able to give the
particulars concerning it.
