Temperance Rally at Anthony

The great temperance movement
now on in Marion county was aug
mented September fourteenth with
basket picnic and rally at Dupres
Pond near Anthony. The occasion
was auspicions. The ladies OF the
Woman's Home Missionary Society
and the Young Peoples Epworth
League Suciety co-operated with the
temperance movement and furnished
refreshments forth day in the way
of ice cream, cake, lemonade, etc.
The goodly crowds from Spar,
Pine, Oak, Ocala, Martin, Fl. Mccoy,
and the surrounding country were ex-
uberant, happy and enthusiastic to
degree, the light rain did not dampen
their ardor. The contents of the
wagon loads of baskets was a revela-
ton rs to what the fair sex in this
part of Florida can do.
Rev. DR.. c. c. Carroll, pastor of
the First Baptist church, Ocala, made
the initiatory address. DIR. Carroll
spoke in a logical way and reasoned
out the situation methodically, UNI
bigotedly but decisively. DIR. Car
roll takes the ground that the menace
of the liquor traffic to the good
of the people is recognized, and
prohibition as the only sure and prac-
tical protection against the evil
works of this traffic must result.
Mr.. w. D. earn, county superin-
tendent of public schools. followed
DIR. Carroll, and made an address
that was very well received by his
audience.
On account of frequent showers in
the afternoon, Rev. l.. w. Moore adj
dressed the crowd in the Methodist
church.
His address in the cause of tenn
perance was very strong and con-
elusive one from his own point
of view. He is forceful and
earnest speaker and he held the
closest attention of his hearers
throughout his arguments, which
were concise and to the point. The
rally at Anthony was big one in
every respect.

Two Dog Stories.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat
recently quoted police officer who
said that all the stray dogs who roam
the streets at night seem to pick out
the uniformed policemen as their
friends, and that when the officers
return to the station they are accom-
panied by long procession of dogs
of various degrees. Another and OIL
der officer said that he did lot see
any grounds for objection on this
point, because he remembered an in
stance where two dogs which made it
habit to follow the same policeman
every night saved that police officer
his job. According to the story, this
policeman was not in the least both
cred with insomnia, and when he got
ready to take his nap on his beat the
dogs would take up their positions
one at one end of the block and one
at the other. Whenever one of the
dogs saw the sergeant coming he
would run to the sleeping officer and
rub his cold nose against the officers
face, arOusing him from his sleep and
thus warning him of the approach of
his superior.
G. r. Wigert of Lincoln, Neb., a
retired druggist who has travelled ex-
tensively. was not prepared to well
come dog to his home. but he final
ly did so, and now no money could
purchase that particular animal; and
thereby hangs a tale. One day two
dogs appeared at Mr.. Wigert's house.
One of them large animal, had been
seriously crippled in the back. The
other was little. short-legged crea-
ture, and not at all attractive to the
eye. The crippled animal hid him.

THE TAMPA FAlR.

Building Now Ready for Exhibits
financial Details in Good Hands and
IA Premiums will Be PAID.
To tn. Editor of the Ocala Banner:
think it will be well to advise
your readers that the main building
for the Tampa Fair is now finished,
and there will be no delays, such as
are usual in getting ready to receive
exhibits. The large two-story exhi-
bition hall, formerly on the Tampa
Bay hotel grounds is on rollers, and
is now nearing the spot where twill
stand as dignified, safe and splen-
did home for woman's work, art and
educational exhibits.
These are not only the largest but
the most substantial state fair build
ings which I have ever seen. The
main hall where county collections
will be placdd is $40 feet longsbut is
now more than half taken, and l
feel assured that it will be full. There
are seventeen counties which have
appropriations not yet having been
allotted space. President Brown is a
fair builder, and as much as people
were surprised at the success of:last
years show, they will be more so
this year.
Every detail seems ito be well in
hand and the financial and: business
department are in hands that are not
only able, but are interested. There
will be no debts or premiums left un-
paid. Tampa newspapers are cor
daily supporting the fair and iwith !
every element for good at work in
its interest, it will be necessary for
private homes to take care of the
crowds. And Tampa is willing to
open them. z. G. CHAMBLIss.

THE STRAWBERRY
Something of Its History in This
 Country.

The following Is an extract from a paper read before tile Uni versity Science Club, University of Arkansas by Geo. A. Cole. agriculturist, and printed in the Western Fruit Grower.
 We will now proceed to sketch the history of it's cultivation in the United States and Europe. From reliable records We find that the English and French gardeners cultivated the straw berry as far back as the fifteenth century. As there were plenty of wild strawberries ot good size and of the very finest flavor. along the Atlantic slope, 1t was not necessary for the carly set tiers to cultivate them. But as towns and cities grew up these furnished market for more than nature unassisted could supply. Hence the farseeing gardeners transplanted the wild Virginiana into his own grounds. As close cultivation made larger berries  and as larger berries commanded higher prices, it was short step of reason to demand the biggest and best berry. The business of raising strawberries for the mar ket first started with the garden CTS around New York. Washing ton. Norfolk, Richmond and other coast cities and towns of the eastern states
 The cities of New York and Washington demanded berries before they ripened in their own gardens, hence the business of raising the berry farther south became more remuneratiFe about Norfolk and Portsmouth than farther north. It Was tt these places that=the garden patches grew into one. two and three acre patches, and finally iato hundred acre fields of straw berries. Here the berry raiser worked aut the modern methods usea in field culture, shipping, ete
