In a letter to the editor of this pa
per Prot. A. J. Foskett, formerly of
Ocala, says that for the past four
months he has been a great sufferer
and has just left the Odd Fellows

operation, having the diseased eye
taken out, since which time he has
been free from pain. Mr.. FoSkett
hopes to visit Ocala in the near fu-
ture. In closing he says:
Il am SO glad TO hear of Ocala's
prosperity. With the new court
house, government building, ETC.,
she is on top. and long may she
wave. It's great delight to me to
hear all such good news. / send to
you my kindly greeting and all con-
cerned. Your Banner comes weekly
and greets me as an old Ocala friend.''

Bishop Kenay's Visit to Ocala-

Rt. Rev William J. Kenny, bishop
of the diocese of ST. Augustine, made
pastoral visit to his church here
and occupied the pulpit at ST. Philips
Catholic church Sunday morning and
held reception in the afternoon to
become better acquainted with his
flock in Ocala and others who desired
to meet him.
Bishop Kenny took for. his subject
Sunday morning, the Resurrection of
Christ and the Ten Commandments.
We do not remember to have ever
before seen SO mild and modest a
man in the pulpit, yet he is a very
strong, forceful and pleasant speaker.
He said there was no fact of his
tory more clearly established than
the resurrection of Christ. He forth
fled this statement step by step by all
the testimony as it is recorded in the
new testament scriptures. After
proving this statement to the salts
faction of all who heard him, he next
took up the duties of the followers of
Christ and said they were all sum-
med up in the ten commandments as
written upon the tables of stone by
the finger of the living God. Bishop
Kenny said that it would not do to
obey one or two or any number of
these commandments without obey
ing the whole and to obtain eternal
life the entire decalogue mnst be
fully and completely obeyed.
In the afternoon at four O'Clock
there was a confirmation and vesper
service and the following persons
were received as children into the
body of the church, viz:
Miss Mabel Godson, Miss Lilly Lo-
PEE, Miss Olivia Tafalita. Miss Dali
sey Handley, Miss Anna Barmolini,
Harry Spalding, Merlin Spalding,
Charley Chazal, John ChaZal, John
Loos, Eddy Lopez and John A. Ba-
setlo, Leonard Spalding.
Pretty and appropriate music was
rendered at all of the services at the
Catholic church Sunday.
Bishop Kenny left Monday after
noon for st. Leo. and will go from
there 10 Tampa

For the gallantry he displayed in
that battle of Richmond ne was elect
ed to the Confederate congress-. Re-
covering his health and strength, he
declined to serve longer than one
term. Then he went back to the
front as colonel OF the Ninth Florida.
which served in Finnegan's brigade
in the eastern army. He saw a great
deal of hard fighting in the eastern
army and had several very narrow
escapes from death.
COMES BACK TO FLORIDA.
After the war he lived for a time
in Augusta, Ga. Then when the
fruit industry began to be promising
in Florida he went back there. He
owned large orange grove and also
cotton plantations. When Mr.. Cleve-
land became president Col. Martin
was made postmaster at Ocala. At
the end of his term he went back to
his plantations, and there he is today,
well-preserved man of 73.
Col. Martin married Miss Willie
Wellborn, daughter of Col. Alfred
WellbOrn, of Meriwether county.
Hon. E. W. Martin, the Atlanta at
torney, and John NJ. Martin, Jr., of
Florida, are the surviving children of
that marriage. After the death of
his first wife, he married Miss Waldo.
There are three living children by
that marriage-W. w. Martin, Mrs.
Lallie Monroe and Mrs. Albert s.
Birdsey.

ONLY LIVING MEMBER LEFT
Something About Col j. "a Martin. os
ocsis-it Develops This Gallant
fioridian is Last Survivor
of Confederate Con
greSS

The inquiry made through the At
lanta Constitution by Charles NJ
Harvey, the well known editorial
writer OF the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat, concerning survivors of the
Confederate congress, develops the
fact that the father of a prominent
Atlanta man is probably the sole sur
vivor of that body. 1t may be there
are others; but so far as seems now
to be known, Col. John NJ. Martin,
Ocala, Fla, is the only living men,
Der of that body.
Colonel Martin is the father Of
Hon. E. w. Martin, of Atlanta. He
was a native OF South Carolina, the
son of Colonel Edmund Martin, after
whom the son is named. In the late
fifties, John Nj. Martin moved to
Florida and became a planter of is
idlu Sotloh. w hcH OIlS WAL DTOh0
out he went TO the front as captain
of company of light artillery in
General Finley's brigade, which was
attached TO the Western army At
the battle of Richmond, Ky, Capt.
Martin was ordered TO take posi-
ton with his company on the crest
OF a hill in an open field. The posi-
ton was made doubly difficult by the
federal sharpShooters, who made a
target of the Floridians The Con-
federates held it CALAMITY and did
much toward turning the tide OF the
battle Just as victory was at hand
Capt. Martin was laid low by bullet

coming out the other side, and the
mark of which remains in the shape
OF a deep indentation today.
FOUND KIND FRIENDS.
He was desperately wounded and
his life was despaired of. He was
saved by what might be called
most fortunate coincidence. While
lying in the hospital in one of the
kenUcky towns near the scene of
battle, some ladies came there
searching for Confederate soldiers,
and, finding Capt. Martin was Car
Gilman like themselves, they insisted
upon his being taken to their home
for treatment. This was permitted.
They discovered he was a cousin of
their own, and his recovery has al
ways been attributed to the excellent
care he received at their hands.

a Hebrew Christian Minister.

Rev. Lichtenstein, Jewish con-
vert TO the Christian faith, occupied
the pulpit nf the Baptist church in
this city Sunday morning and the
Methodist pulpit Sunday night.
DR.. Lichtenstein told in very
simple manner the story of his con-
version. He said he was a store
keeper in New York City and one of
his young lady clerks, who took great
interest in revival services, on one
occasion invited him to attend one of
the services. He did so out of mere
idle curiosity The preacher came
down the aisle after the sermon, ex-
tended his hand, asked him il he
were Christian and although Mr..
Lichtenstein told the preacher he was
Jew, this good man asked God TO
bless him. The young lady clerk
afterwards gave him a copy of the
new testament and when he attend
the Jewish synagogue the follow
ing Friday night, the words of the
Christian minister kept coming I'D
before him and repeating itself TO
him. He attended the revival meet
ing second time. The same preach
er preached and he finally stood up
and asked the question: ''If it be
true that Christ is the living God?''
that his heart be opened to receive
the truth, and as he said this strange
feeling came over him and he felt as
he had never felt before and from
that day, seventeen years ago, to
this, he believes he has been filled
with the power of the Holy Ghost
and although forsaken by his parents,
his wife and child, he continued to
preach Christ and Him crucified.
DIR. Lichtenstein is building Jew
ish Christian Mission church IN ST.
Louis, Mo-, the first in the history of
the world. The building is to cost

interesting speaker and MS addresses
In this city were greatly enjoyed.
He went from here TO Orlando.

While no woman is entirely free from
periodical suffering. it does not seem to
be the plan of nature that women
should suffer so severely. Menstrual
ton is a severe strain on a woman s
vitality. If it is painful or irregular
something is wrong which should be
set right or it will lead to a serious de-
rangement of the whole female organ
ism.
More than fifty thousand women
have testified in grateful letters to Mrs
Pinkham that Lydia E. Pinkham' s
Vegetable Compound overcomes pain
full and irregular menstruation.
1t provides safe and sure way of es-
cape from distressing and dangerous
weaknesses and diseases.
The two following letters tell so con-
viucingly what Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound will do for
women, they cannot fail to bring hope
to thousands of sufferers.

Saturday was sort of off-day with
the House of Representatives, for there
was a limited attendance which did
not at all tally with the official roll
call and the main portion of the pro-
ceedings were principally routine.
Perhaps the most important feature
of the proceedings was a joint resolu-
tion introduced by. Coelho respecting
the lepers. He moved that three ply
sicians be employed by the Health
Committee to examine Mrs. MakanuI
and the leper suspects at the Kalihi
station, and also that three physicians
be employed to examine such patients
at Kalaupapa as may wish to be ex-
amined, with a view to releasing them
if they are found to be free of the
