We again call to the attention
of our readers the prairie fire sub
ject and the extreme caution which
should be exercised in starting a
fire in the opening without the
necessary protection. Many Of our
most disasterous..: fires are. started
through II i r'elsssndsss sd of some one Is
and the Il don't care Of others. .
The protection ofproperty against
prairie fires il an easy matter 10
do. and il practically without cost.
Within tho last week q prairie fire
has been reported at this Office,
hut beyond the destruction Of
some range, noother damage was

the North Dakota prairies cures
and d killing frost is not necessary
in order tosdry it out-so that q
fire will burn readily, so that dur

seem tosbe rather stale to some,
but if we can impress upon the
citizens of the county the subject
of prairie fires SO that they will
use all the necessary precautions
for the prevention of fires, we will
feel that we have accomplish some
thing that is of benefit.

Rev. George Healsss Hsrrisoa.
The Rev. George Hendree Harrison
who has accepted call to the pulpit
of Grace Episcopal church in this city.
delivered his first sermon in Ocala
Sunday morning at eleven O'Clock.
The new church is not yet entirely
finished, but will be completed now
in a short while. It is very neat
and attractive structure and is SPLEEN
didly located.
Mr.. Harrison, the new rector, came
to Ocala from Griffin, Ga. He is an
Atlanta man by birth, and is young
man of most delightful address and
charming manners. Before reaching
here reputation as splendid and
earnest church worker, good pastor
and an excellent preacher preceded
him, and it is safe to say that he will
in every way live up to his fine repu-
tation.
Mr.. Harrison took as his text for
his first sermon the following words
from the first Epistle of Peter and
the ninth verse: ''But We are a
chosen generation, a royal priest
hood, holy nation, a peculiar peo-
pie; that We should show forth the
praises of Him who hath called you
out of darkness into His marvellous
light"
From these words he preached a
short, interesting and helpful ser
mon, and at the conclusion of his dis
course he hoped that the members of
the church would unite with him in
doing the work that God has set their
little church to do. He said he real
lied that he would make many errors
and there would come disappoint-
ments to the congregation and to
him, but that if all did their part in
the right spirit that good must re-
suit. He begged that his members
would allow him enter into their
lives and all work together for the
oneness of God and His church, and
was very earnest and sincere in his
remarks.
After the sermon the holy sacra-
ment of the Lords Supper was ad-
ministered.
This paper unites with the Grace
church congregation and with the
citizens of Ocals generally in giving
Mr.. Harrison a hearty and cordial
welcome to our midst.
Among the prominent South FlOri-
dams visiting this city, is Hon. T. B.
Lanier, of Tavares, for many years
supervisor of registration of Lake
county. and one of the most widely
known men in the county. He came
here ON business connected with the
United States Land Office. Mr.. La
nier is possessed of the best nature in
the world, and at the Fourth of July
carnival 1.-The Boys" dubbed tog~th-
er and elected him as being the home
lest man in South Florida, the prize
being q box of fine cigars. He enjoy
ed the situation as much as any of
his friends, and demonstrated that
everything was satisfactory by dis
tributing the cigars among those
who were responsible for his election.
This distinguished gentleman states
that the farmers and horticulturists
in Lake are in good condition. and
that the prospects are good for the
heaviest production of oranges since

through this city Friday afternoon on
his way home from Gainesville.

A Warninn to Mothers.

Too much care cannot be used with
small children during the hot weather
OF the summer months to guard
against bowel troubles. AS a rule it
is only necessary to give the child a
dose of castor oil TO correct any dis
order of the bowels Do not use any
substitute, but give the old-fashioned
castor oil, and see that it is fresh. as
rancid oil nauseates and has a ten.
dency to grippe. If this does not check
the bowels give Chamberlain's Collie.
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and
then a dose of castor oil, and the dis
ease will be checked in its incipiency
and all danger avoided. The castor
oil and this remedy should be procured
at once and kept ready for instant use
as soon as the first indication of any
bowel trouble appears. This is the
most successful treatment known aud
may be relied upon with implicit con-
fldence even in cases of cholera infan-
tum. For sale by all druggists.
