Mrs. Minnie Bostick, the entefpris-
ing Ocala House milliner, is too busy
this season to attend the big mill
merry opening now being held in Jack

in ladies' headgear in the country, and
Mrs. Jessie Haycraft, her able and eff

Mrs. Haycraft is an adept in the mil
linery art and knows stylish looking
piece of ladies' headgear when she

rounding communities may rest as
sured that they will in few weeks
be able to select their fall millinery
from one of the best selected lines
that has ever been shown in Ocala,
or for that matter, anywhere in the

Maj. j. X. Priest, of Eureka, rep
resented his section in Ocala Tues
day. He says that there is not nearly
SO much water in the fat woods coun-
try as outsiders would imagine. That
the country has clay subsoil and
the waters easily find their way to the
lakes and rivers, leaving the land in
manner dry. He says, however, that
the rivers, ponds and lakes are as
high as they were during the great
storm of 1871. Mr.. Priest, besides hav-
ing an excellent farm, has a sheep
ranch, and his flock has now reached
10 the number of 1900, and the wool
eli. amounts to 500 per month. We
are glad to know that the majors OPP
erati us are all to the good. He is a
Grst-,lass. all-round good citizen.

DEATH OF HON. JOHN c. REAR
DON.


News was received in this city
Tuesday of the death of Hon. John
Carey Reardon, which occurred at
Milledgville, Ca, Monday night, Au-
gust the sixth.
The deceased was a native of this
city and had the dictinction of being
the first white child born in Ocala.
He spent nearly all of his life here
and was intimately connected with
the city's welfare He took a great
and abiding interest in everything
that tended towards its betterment
and upbuilding. He was for many
terms mayor of the city, was a mem
Der of the city council, a member of
the board of school trustees and was
vestryman of Grace Episcopal
church, and in all these places dis
charged his duties uprightly and
faithfully.
In his early life Mr.. Reardon was
an editor of newspaper in this city
and later went to Savannah and be-
came a member of the staff of the
Savannah Republican and remained
with that paper long enough to
achieve distinctive place in Iitera-
ture, and as long as he lived he was
a contributor to the newspapers and
other publications.
He studied law in Savannah in the
Office of Lawton, Jackson & Bassen-
ger, and was admitted and for some
years was connected with this firm,
General Henry R. Jackson becoming
a minister to Russia and General Law
ton was elected to the United States
senate from Georgia. These gentle
men early recognized Mr.. Reardon's
ability as lawyer, and offered him
great inducements to remain with
them, but at the outbreak of the vel
low fever epidemic in 1876 he re-
turned to Ocala and made this city
his home until about two years ago,
when he went back to Savannah.
He was a brave man, a true friend
and loyal citizen and had the conf
dence, esteem and love of everyone
who knew him.
In early life he was married to Miss
Carrie Zachary. of Atlanta, Ga. He is
survived by his wife, three sons and
two daughters, John, Irwin, who is in
the Philippines; Edwin, Mrs. w. K.

Newport, R. l., Aug. S.-A score or
more Of the feetest yachts that ever
dipped their bow into eastern waters
are sailing today over the thirty-fiye
mile course OF Newport harbor, in a
spi. tied contest for the Kings cup.
the most coveted prize of the season.
The Kings cup is the perpetual chal-
lenge CLIP presented by King Edward
VII. to the New York Yacht Club to
be contested for annually. The trophy
cost 1000 guineas and is of solid gold,
excepting the base 1t Is forty inches
tail. The cup is scrolled and embla-
zoned and bears one shield with the
title Of the cup and general condi-
tons and another shield for the names
OF the winners. The name of each
yacht winning it and the name of her
owner are to be engraved on the cup,
ard each winner shall receive from
the New York Yacht Club a suitable
medal or other trophy, to commemor-
ate his victory. The cup is to be held
forever by the yacht club.
Any yacht belonging to any yacht
club in the United States. in good
standing, is eligible to compete for the
cup. The only restrictions are that all
sloops must be over so feet along
the water line, and schooners so feet.
These conditions may, in the future,
be changed by the flag officers of the
club, who also have the right to de-
termine the dates and courses of the
races.
The yachts competing in the race
today are about equally divided be-
tween sloops and schooners. Among
the crack yachts taking part In the
race are VIM. E. Iselin's Vigilant, the
former cup defender; j. Rogers Max
wells schooner Quson; w. S. Eaton's
schooner Taormina Arthur F. Luke's
schooner Corona; Harry l.. Maxwell's
sloop Yankee; Commodore Cornelius
Vanderbilt's sloop Rainbow; III. F.
Lippitts sloop Westame; z. d. Kings
sloop Nicola; Cleveland H. Dodge's
cutter Hester, and others that have
won fame in former races. Some time
ago it had been expected that Sir
Thomas Upton would enter the Sham
rock ii. for this race, but he was pre-
vented to carry out this plan. The
race is a handicap, and in some In
stances the Vigilant allowed the full
limit of SO minutes. The maximum
allowance was made to the schooner
Katrina and the sloop Doris.
An enormous crowd is watching the
race from every point of vantage and
the harbor is enliyened by hundreds
of steamers, launches, sailboats and
other craft, loaded with people anx-
ious to get as close a view Of the
racing yachts as possible. Society is
well represented, and the bright uni
forms of the officers of the warships
at anchor here, add pleasing touches
of color to the Kaleidoscope picture.
This race is the last racing event of
the week at this point, and tomor-
row the squadron of the New York
Yacht Club will sail for Vineyard Ha-
ven.

How To Awaken a Better Sunday
School Interest in Our Churches.
(Read by Mrs. DR.. Bitch fifth Sun
day school convention at Mcintosh
in JULY
This is vital question and one to
be carefully studied. How to get
churches awakened on the Sunday
school question. There must first be
fully presented to the church the
need of Sunday school work. This
should be freed from any entangling
alliances by holding both school and
church fully under the relationship
existing between the two, to-wit: The
Sunday school is originally part of
the church work, thoroughly depend
ent upon and expressing the soul of
the church. Then the Sunday school
should justify this existence by be-
coming true expression of it's
sphere of work 1t should he doctrinal
in its teaching, systematic and thor
ough in its methods, enthusiastic in
its spirit, sOul-searching in its de-
sires and be genuine feeder, trainer
and instructor of its members. Active
church workers should be it's teachers
and it is to be seriously questioned
whether any one not a church mem
Der should be an officer or teacher in
it. The pastors of the churches should
preach and instruct the churches
along Sunday school lines of work.
The church should be taught to ex-
pect converts in it's Sunday school
and recruits from the Sunday school.
1t is only along such lines can true
interest be aroused and maintained.
A church without a Sunday school
is like a man going through life with
his arm bound by his side. Above all
other things, there should be deep
sense of prayer in the word.

Methodism, we believe. who first or

was that originated it, it is pretty
near to the truth. and the citizens OF
Ocala had better take the advice OF
the city board of health and clean
up. There is very little beauty in
