destroyed consuming, besides the
building, lot of hay, grain, etc.
Wednesday at ten O'Clock his mill in
the northern suberbs of the city was
entirely consumed il being set on fire
by spark falling on the roof from
the smoke stack. The alarm was sent
in and the fire companies responded
but unfortunately it was discovered
that the mill was located 50 far be-
yOnd the water limit that it was i'm
possible TO reach it.
NOtonly the mill aud machinery
were destroyed bus large quantity of
both rough and dressed lumber.
Mr. Seymour's crosstie cutter and
veneering machine which he had
recently erected and patented was
likewise burned.
The loss is estimated to be between
five and six thousand dollars with no
insurance.
MIR. SeymOur's misfortune is very
greatly regretted by his friends.
Before the fire companies had re-
turned from the Seymour mill fire
the alarm was again sounded and the
fire proved to be in Yates house OPP.

Fort King avenue. A large crowd
soon collected and as quickly as pos
sible the tire companies proceeded to

TO the Editor Of the Ocala Banner.
The distinguished la wyer and jurist,
Judge William T. Gary, who died in
Augusta, Ga, last Thursday, was the
youngest and last survivor of six
brothers who lived 20 manhood.
Three Of the brothers were lawyers,
two doctors and the sixth, John H.,
with William r., was u SUDDEN >in
South Carolina College, at Column bia,
when the war between the states
broke out He was elected captain Of
the college cadets who volunteered 10
60 to the capture of Fort Sumter. In
1868 he was killed at Fort Wagner,
Charleston harbOr, while in command
of that battery.
Coz. ;. NJ. G. Gary, the oldest and
/ DR.. T.. p. Gary, the fourth were resi-
/ dents of Ocala.
General NJ. w. Gary, a lawyer of
Edgefield, =. c.. entered the war as
captain of a company in Hampton's
Legion, and before the close of the
war rose to the rank of major-geHeraI.
These brothers, were liDeal descen-
dants of John Knox, of Scotland, by
his second wife, Lady Margaret
J Stewart, and she was lineal descen-
dant of Robert Bruce. The line Of
descent Is we'll authenticated. Their
ancestry on that line previous TO
! Robert Bruce, and for three genera
tons after, is the same as that of
! Queen Victoria, who claimed that she
was descended from King David,
! the sweet psalmist Of Israel This de-
scent is said 10 have benin this way:
Zedrkiah's Oldest daughter fled with
her sister ana the prophet Jeremiah
to Ireland, where she was married to
Hareman, ksng of Ulster. From Chis
union was descended the ancient
kings of scotland, the maternal
ancestors of Robert Bruce. His
grandfather of the Bruce line came
over to England from Normandy
with William the ConquerOr.
There are hundrends of citizens of
the United States, perhaps thousands,
who have this ancestry. Among
these are the WitherspOons and Breck
enridges, of Kentucky, the PrestOns
and Others of Virginia, the Garys
AMI Evans, of South Carolina, and
have been told that Gov. Brown,
war governor of Georgia, and Gov.
Brown Of Florida, were Branches of
the same family tree.
cd promised King David: Thine
house and thyi kingdom small be es-
nolish-d forever before thee; thy
throne shall be established forever"
II Queen Victoria WAS correct this
promise has been literally fulfilled in
that descendants Of David through
Queen Victoria even now occupy the
most important thrones of Europe
