a small place, but small as it is it is
big enough to need a library. Mr..
Morton realized this fact, bought the
land, which is close to the railroad
station and the center of the village,
and gave his check to Mr.. Quick. the
builder, for sL5, 600 to erect a building.
He has also provided that the library
shall be properly equipped and main
tanned.
His provisions for its maintenance
and its equipment, however. included
the condition that his own name
should in no way appear. There is no
bronze tablet over the door %announc-
ing that this library is a Morton gift.
On the contrary, it is to be called the
Rhinecliff Memorial library. 1t is a
monument, and will be a lasting one,
to his daughter who so unfortunately
passed away last year.
Mr.. Morton is a Yankee.
He was born on May 16, 1924, in
Shoreham, VT. His father was a
minister, and he was the youngest of
six sons. On both his fathers and
mothers side he is a direct descend
ant from the Pilgrim Fathers. George
Morton. his first American ancestor,
came from Bawtry, England, in the
good ship Ann" in 1923 and settled
in Middleboro, Mass. His mothers
American ancestor was Joseph Par
sons, who also came from England,
and landed only a few years after the
arrival of George Morton. With this
sturdy stock, this ancestry of Pilgrim
Fathers, behind him, Mr.. Morton has
been only too proud and too glad to
live IN to this ancestry. During his
long life of more than four score
years he has adhered to the preeepts
so carefully inculcated in the Shore
ham parsonage. He was vigorously
trained in those principles of Christi
an morality and religious reverence
which have characterized his life ever
since his boyhood.
He received a rather better educa-
ton than the average Yankee boy,
and with This as = Foundation he be-
gan a business li'e which led ulti-
ma+aly to great financial success as
we'll as to public honor. Starting as a
farmers boy he Graduated into a
olerrship at q country store, and then
step rs sten foand himself outgrowing
e9ch position hat he occupied from
Boston 10 Nv York.
N~. No~ta~'s political honesty b s
never been called into question. and
his influence Cor good in the political
life ~ The United states has been So
cons1 icuous as 20 wtn he approva' f
all oalitical rarties almost witso t
regard 70 his ewn determined parri-
sanship.
His record Of business undertakings
also, as well as his career as a states
man, is well nigh spotless. He has
accomplished 1t not merely by brain
force, but by inherent desire to be
| honest and upright. The keynote Of
Mr.. Morton's personality has not been
money getting, although in that line
| Of endeavor he has been remarkably
successful. He has won the esteem
of his fellow men largely because he
has considered and treated them as
fellow human beings and not as OBJ
jects Of greed.

mar of Balfour's position and sup
posed character. In parliament he was
one of Gladstone's most devoted fol-
lowers, he was a shining religious
light and a famous temperance advo-
cate. He worked a great English
temperance society and almost made it
abet him in his fraudulent operations.
Ministers and pious folks were his best
agents.
Balfour's speciality was the forma-
ton of building and loan societies"
He founded his most famous one, "The
Liberator Building society,"" on the
ruins of the National Land and In
vestment society, found thousands of
investors and then used their deposits
in floating new companies of every
ann and description.
His operations nearly always had
some religious trimmings" For in
stance, when his "Liberator'' company
moved into its new offices, a resolution
was adopted hat ''on the occasion of
taking possession this day of our new
premises, the directors desire to record
their sense of thankfulness for the
prosperity with which, as they believe,
God has hitherto blessed their efforts
in the establishment of this business -
Balfour and his confederates divided

OF only seven of many bogus COM
panies. Among their building enter
prises was the Hotel Cecil, Whitehall
court on the Thames embankment, the
Salisbury estate building and Hyde

Millidge, Mrs. Charles T. P~endleton
and Mrs. Henry T. Sargent. After
many trials the little church was fin
ally completed and has remained,
with few alterations, intact to the

After it had been finished and Mrs.
Eddy had been advised, the Oconto
people were surprised to learn that
they were pioneers in the movement.
Mrs. Eddy, in her reply, stated: you
have built the first church" The first
service was held in the church on
October 81. 1886. Since that time two
have been called from the Oconto
church to assist Mrs. Eddy. They are

covered with wire netting. Inside the
boxes are lengths of drain pipe, in

large numbers, and in all stages of

To prepare them for food, the snails

then placed in stewpans, and cooked
in salt and water or milk.
Another method is to boil them,
shells and all, with herbs and cloves
until they fall from their shells. The
shells are then scrubbed, and a paste
is made of parsley, butter, bread
crumbs, and white wine. The meat is
replaced with this paste in the shells,
and the whole Drowned in a hot oven.

hearty eater.
In addition to their blood value,

fetal effect in cases of lung trouble.

ONE DOLLAR A YEAR
NATURES WORSHIP.

Written for the Ocala Banner:
How the tiny wren is making
Music in its cheerfulneSS,-
OF the watchful guardian telling,
Who a little bird can bless.
How the giant oak and maple
Toss their noble arms abroad
Thickly laden with the blossom,
Whose wild fragrance smells to God!
How the honeysuckles, spotting
This rich carpet of the vale,
AS they fiaunt in very pleasure
Whisper. each to each, the tale!
How the glittering insect, squadrons,
AS they wheel and march in air,
Lift aloud their million trumphets,
And their Leaders skill declare!
How the herds, that dot the hillside,
Mutely tell me as they feed,
God, who kindly cares for cattle,
Is a bounteous God indeed!
How the very sky is laughing.
BY the morning wOoed and won,-
How the very earth rejoices
Meath the fervors Of the sun!
God" repeats the small birds music,
Godp the painted insects cry;
'GOdi' the giant trees are murmuring
'God!' the little shrubs reply.
Voices from the solemn forestI
Voices from the tribes Of flowers!
Voices from the brute creation,
Sky and earth!-yet where are ours?
Poor and vile, we can not render
WOrship-darkened so by sin
Till the heavenly Sun of glory
Pierce the shade and shine within.

WE OBSERVE

That we have not yet had anv win
ter. That all the trees will soon be
in full leaf and flower
That our hotels have had a better
season than in many years.
That our streets need something
more than sprinkling-they need oil
ing.
That the weather has been behav-
ing beautifully for the past few days.
That entertainments draw larger
than in former years, that is IL all
shows were good the opera house
would always be crowded.
That our turpentine men are direct
ly in the swim and everything is grist
that goes through their MILL.
That the phosphate conditions are
better and those who are engaged I'm
this business are saving wood and
saying nothing.
That our churches are largely at
tended and the congregations are
hearing better sermons.
That Ocala, for the number of her
population. shows more newspaper en-
terprise than any other town in Flor
ida and perhaps any other town in the
United States.

To the Editor Ocala Banner:
1t will soon be time for candidates
to make their announcements for the

There have been a cry for a long
time that the office should seek the
man." and mot the man the Office"
Now, before any one has made his an
nouncement. it is the time for the Of
flee to seek the best man.
1 wish to- beg space to mention a
man that for honesty, conscientious
ness, good Judgment. intelligence, con-
servativeness, and yet, plain and out
ty.
refer TO Mr.. r. l. Hull, of Common.
l have no idea that Mr.. Hull has ever
thought of such proposition and it
will take some pleading to persuade
him to run, but the affairs of ,the
county will be safe in his care.
He has judgment to know what is
best; he has intelligence to know when
law is in proper form; he has firm
ness to say what be believes on any
subject; he has manhood enough not
to be tempted by any brides or in
ducements.
Mr.. Hull served on the school board
for six years and better member
never occupied that position. He has
lived in the county for forty or more
years, taught school successfully for
ten or fifteen years and has made a
success of farming, on an intensive
plan, all his life.
Let's crown him now by giving him
a term in the legislature, an honor
that he will appreciate, and a man o.
whom Marion county will feel proud

Mr.. W. 5. Gaskin. who formerly ran
the grocery store in Ocala known as
me Shady Grove grocery, has pur-
chased the grocery department of the
Carmichael K Son company. He will
take charge Of the same on March the

pect to enlarge their wholesale and
retail liquor business, which is now

their grocery department in order to
give their attention to their other bus

The Judge Lost Out.

Judge Gordon, Of the criminal court
Of Tampa. recently gave the Tampa
Herald a splendid advertisement by
fining its editor $1O0 for contempt Of
court, because the latter editorially
demanded that the judge impose the
extreme penalty of the law upon sew
eral self confessed gamblers who were
up before him for sentence. The
judge made a great mistake; in fact
he made two mistakes. Filming the
editor simply rallied the best people of
the city to his support and put his
paper away up yonder in the estima-
ton of the community. Then the
judge imposed only nominal fines on
the gamblers, which showed the COM
munity that the Tampa Herald was
right in the position which it took
And the judge has lost corresponding
" in public estimation.-Punta Gorda
