which the whole county was invited.
Perhaps more than = thousand
people responded 20 the invitation
and every minute Of the time was
enjoyed.
Quite a Bumber Of live stock was
on exhibition a. well a. quantity Of
improved machinery.
The exhibit attracted great deal
Of attention and wss feature Of the
occasion.
Col. l.. r. Miller had q monster
registered short horn bull and q five

taken the range Of the field and bad
been fed exclusively on cssava and

ye.rlinEs short horn heifers, which
were much admired.
Mr.J. MT. Carter bad reason to
be uroad Of tbe two 8 mouths old pigs
that he exhibited. They were a cross
between the Guinea and Berkshire,
and were beauties.
The two Berkshire pigs, one weigh
Ing 93 pounds aud the other l25
pounds, brought down by Mr.. w. M.
Gist from bis stock farm at Mcintosh,
were models and II they had been
human the compliments they received
would have made them vain.
Mr.. Newcomb BarcO bad six three

cOmiums.
The improved machinery, exhibit
ted by Mr.. F. ID. Poser, received its
full share OF attention aud in itself
was an object lesson showing the
evolution that is going on in our
farming operations.
When the hOCr Of II o'clock srriv-

persons assembled, and the Ocala
Concert Band enlived the occasion
with a spirited air.
Then began the exploitation of

Hon. G. NJ. Brown, master of cere-

wOrded speech, introduced Mr.. Sc

OF the Florida Ice aud Packing Co,
who babe a generous welcome to all
who had honored the occasion with
their presence. he said the "latch-
string not only hung on the outside,
but the fence had been taken down."
His welcome was shown by hearty
applause.

ways uppermost for the people Of this
county and IL would always be

say that betokened for IL the dawn
Of better day made his heart throb
with joy.
He said the cattle kiDgs Of the
west we're looking arc md for new
lids for cattle pastures and for this
purpose 10000 acres had been al
ready purchased In Florida. That
after careful estimates Secretary
Wilson Of the agricultural depart
rdent was responsible for the state
ment that for the next fifty years the
supply would fall short OF the de-
mand, and this made the outlook
bright for those now engaging in the
business. That King and the Swifts
were turning their attention To FIori-
da; that he was casually talking to a
visitor about Florida's prospects along
this line and sent him down to visit
his friend Gaitskill at Mcintosh and
as a result he invested S25O,O0O in
Florida land for q stock farm. That
the man who had made the Smith
field ham famous said ham from the
Florida razor back was equal to it.
Mr.. Wilson'S speech was interesting
throughout.

PROPER MOURNING ATTIRE
The San Francisco call., 1904-09-11

(Ida) simplicity characteriZes all
mourning garments. although they be
cut on the most approved models Of
the day. Simplicity is obtained by the
material. absence of all elaborate
trimmings and copying only the plain
est Of graceful models. The quality
Of the material should be as good as
ones means will allow. as black fab
rics, especially Grape, quickly become
shabby. When buying cloth, six,
straw hats, etc, always ask for dull
finished mourning goods. For your
wool house dresses select Henrietta
cloth, Eudora. voile, cashmere, alba
tross, dull finished silks. crepe de
chine or japanese silk is suggested
when a dainty and cool dress is de-
sired. Plain black lawn, null or Swiss
trimmed with ruffies of the same make
pretty, inexpensive house or street
dresses for very warm weather. OF
course, all Innings, petticoats, etc,
worn under these sheer fabrics must
be Of dull black. Street costumes may
be fashioned from serge, dull finished
black broadcloth, cheviot, camels' hair
or Venetian cloth. Folds of Grape,
ruchings OF chiffon or rows of narrow
grosgrain ribbon may be used to trim
the house dresses. while crocheted
buttons and machine stitching adorn
the strictly walking suits. For the
more dressy two piece suits mourning
gimp. Grape folds. silk and passe-
menterie made expressly for this pur-
pose will afford correct decoration.
Wear suede gloves for all ceremonious
occasions and black Isle thread or silk
when the former would be too warm.
Mitts are very little worn. 1t is mere
ly a matter Of individual taste whether
a bonnet and long veil or hat with
draped veil be worn; both are cor
rect The latter. however, Is most
popular with women under as. The
draped veil may be OF Brussels net
edged with a fold of Grape or of chif-
fon. Ask for mourning veil and any
miIliner can drape it gracefully. Mar
row turnover collars and cuffs of fine
hemstitched white linen and black
chiffon ruchings are both permissible.
