1 think it is only right that / should
tell you what a wonderful effect
Chamberlain Cough Remedy has
produced. The day before Easter l
was so distressed with a cold and
cough that did not think to be able
to take any duties the next day as
nv voice was almost choked by the
cough. The same day 1 received an
order from you for bottle of your
Cough Remedy. l at once procured
a sample bottle and took about three
doses of the medicine. To my great
relief the cough and cold had COM
pletely disappeared and was able
to preach three times on Easter day.
I know that this rapid and effective
cure was due to your cough remedy.
l make this testimonial without solic-
itation, being thankful to have found
such a Godsent remedy.

a Runaway Accident.

Thanksgiving afternoon while out
driving Mr.. and Mrs. A. H. Marsh
and little son, Henry, happened to
quite a serious accident. They were
on their way to Horne's still when
something frightened the horses,
causing them TO runaway.
On both sides of the road were
numbers of barrels and in front was a
dummy railroad. In going over this
road all of the occupants were pitch
ed out. Mrs. Marsh and Master
Marsh escaped without injuries but
Mr.. Marsh was quite painfully injur-
ed. having his shoulder blade dislo-
Gated and several other injuries. The
team was stopped Immediately and
they drove home without any other
accident. While quite badly hurt
Mr.. Msrsh was able to be on the
streets Friday afternoon but will be
unable to attend to his work for sew
eral days.

Mr.. Brown S Letter.

In letter printed elsewhere Hon.
c. VI. Brown says:
MY citizenship is still IN Ma
rion county despite the state
ments of my county papers,"
The only offending in this direction
on the part of this paper was the re-
publication (by request) of letter
written by Mr.. Brown to the Miami
Metropolis.
In this letter among other things
Mr.. Brown said:
q had made up my mind
that there was somewhere
within the borders of Florida
location more suitable to
the growth and production of
fruit and vegetables than my
county, and if [ could find
such place | determined to
sever the ties that for 80 years
bound me to Marion county
and her worthy people,"
And the following:
Il would say to any who de-
sire to better their condition
come to Miami.
| have no hesitancy
in saying to you my reader,
come, and cast your lot with
us; the corner stone of a great
cityis laid here, under the i'm
pressive ceremonies of Gods
natural benedictions."
Mr.. Brown himself, not his county
papers, is talking in this way. We,
therefore, make the suggestion that
he amend his remarks by the follow
ing:
Despite my own state
ments, am still citizen of
Marion county,"

The scene of the happy event was
the home of Mrs. R. Holtzclaw at

wedding march and Mr.. Fred Gaskill
acted as best man. Mr.. Mckinley,
pastor of the Presbyterian church

cloth over taffeta. She wore no veil
but in her couture were several
white rosebuds and she carried an ex-
quisite shower bouquet of bride roses.
The groom was very handsome in his
evening suit.
The home was simply but attrac-
lively decorated, a quantity of beau
tiful smilax and vases of roses being
used.
After the ceremony was over and
congratulations offered the bride and
groom and guests were invited into
the dining room where delicious
four course supper was served buffet
style.
The serving table was very pretti-
" decorated with smilax and white
tulle and on the center of the table
was a large cut glass bowl of beauti-
full white roses and narcissi resting
on a lovely drawn work centerpiece.
On departing each guest was given
a box of wedding cake as a souvenir.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Mathews have
many friends and well wishers here
and throughout the county, where
they are both well and favorably
! known.
Mr.. Mathews has been IN Ocala for
about ten years and is one of our
