Wants Congregations Protected
Against Certain Kinds of
Preachers.
Protected
Wants

Rev. Alex Bealer of Thomasville, in
a letter TO the Atlanta Journal, gives
a list Of things that a long suffering
public ought to be protected against
and mentions among other things the
following:
1 think we ought 10 have protection
from the preacher who has sepur-
chral voice, one that he found lying
around in some graveyard. 1t is one
of these deep. dark. cavernous voices
that makes you shiver when you hear
it and you wonder why the preacher
does not wall his eyes like a dying
calf when he uses it on a long suffer-
ing public. When l was boy used
to hear one of these preachers some
times and 1 understood why people
spoke of the voiceless tomb. 1 just
knew he had robbed the tomb and it
seemed to me that he ought TO sing,
'Hark from the tombs a doleful
sound" When he died he bequeathed
his voice TO some other preachers and
they are still using them. l don't
want To see them shot. because preach
ers are too scarce, but l would like
To see the laws amended so that they
can be trapped at any season whey
are found and given into the
keeping of a man who can talk in such
a way that he is understood and will
not give the cold shivers to those who
hear him. This man might. like
Aquiua and Priscilla, teach the
screamer and the graveyard speaker
the way of the talker more perfect
".
Then there ought TO be some pro-
lection for the public against the
screaming preacher. He takes his
text and gives you his introduction in
an audible voice and then proceeds to
lay down his firstly. BY the time you
begin to get interested in his sermon

NEW YEARS DAY IN RUSSIA.
Cars Part of the National Program
Omitted on Account of the Dis
turbed Conditions.
Special to the ocala Banner.

Special to the Ocala Banner.
St. Petersburg, Jan. 1S.-In accar-
dance with the Julian caIandar used
in Russia and by the Greek church
in general, today is New Years Day
and it is celebrated as such trough
out the country with the customary
ceremonies. The annual state cere-
money in which the Car. being the
head of the Greek church, took the
principal part, was omitted this year
owing 10 the disturbances existing in
the empire. There was only the us
ual official reception of the members
of the state council, the army and
navy, the principal state departments
and the diplomatic corps. Extraor-
binary precautions were taken to pre-
vent any attempt upon the life of the
Car.
The popular celebration on the
Newa was extremely tame this year
and the observance of the day was al
most totally confined TO religious
services in the various churches and
family celebrations. Reports from
other large cities indicate that every
where the celebration of the day was
quiet and more of a religious than
public and popular nature.

The Fight of Desperation.

The Live Oak Democrat says. there
seems to be some sort of mysterious
federal question involved in the
Buchanan law"
A mysterious" thing about it is,
that the constitution of the United
States in article l, section 10. prohibits
any state from passing any law i'm
pairing the obligation of contracts.
And "mysteriously" the Florida Ag-
ricultural Institute was established by
law and certain persons were empow-
cred by law TO contract for its To-
cation.
And 'mysteriOusIy" Lake City Of
fered to give one hundred acres of
land and $4,000 in money for the in
stitute to be permanently located in
her borders.
And 'mysteriously' the offer was
accepted and a contract made and en-
tered into with Lake City accordingly
which contract was good and valid
when made and has been recognized
by the state ever since.
And "mysteriously" the supreme
court of the United States has decid-
ed that, If a contract when made is
by the laws of the state its validity
and obligation cannot be impaired by
any subsequent act of the legislature
of the state. or decision of its courts"
Thus. this mysterious" federal
question lis here unfolded.
And it follows, that f the question
of the COnstitutionality of the Buck
man law is carried To the supreme
court of the United States. that body,
being free from entangling, political
alliances in Florida, will not stultify
itself by reversing its former decisions
upon like questions.
But, it matters not whether the case
is carried up or not. The people will
give decision upon it before many
moons shall wax and wane;" what
they will do to the Buchanan law will
ne "a nlantN." and from their action

MILEAGE OF MILL
TARY OFFICERS CUT OFF.

Special.
Washington, D. c. Jan.12.-The =
army is in a bad way on ac- :
count of lack of mileage. De- I
spite the attempt at economy I
in the travel of officers and the :
strict rules which We're laid
down to limit such travel to I
to cases of necessity, there has I
been more travel by individual I
officers under orders emitting 4
them to mileage than ever be- Z
, fore.
The expenditures are des-
tined to exceed those of the I
year when there were large ar :
my and militia manoeuvers in
in the east and west. This
year there have been no ma Z
noeuvers and economy was ex-
pected by the authorities. There
is already in sight a deficien-
cy in sight.nfwy mfwy mfwy fwy
cy of 100000. Some idea in :
the demands in this respect may Z
be obtained by the fact that on
January 1. the chief paymaster
of the department Of the East Z

$4,000 to meet bills presented
in the month. He reported that
the money had been paid out
and all remaining bills will have Z

SPECIAL TRIP TO NASSAU.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sistrunk Entertain in a
Novel and Attractive Manner.

DSSu gwen IN OCdlds was the one at
which Mr.. and Mrs. Simeon T. Sis
trunk entertained a few of their
friends on Friday evening.
The library of their home had been
converted into a railroad station and
around the walls were posted the us
ual signs to be seen in railway Of
fees. Wooden benches, a news stand
and other accessors were there and a
very motley crowd OF. passengers were
present, waiting for the special, adj
vertised to leave at eight o'clock for
Nassau. Morris Smith made a most
admirable ticket agent and certainly
had his hands full looking after the
crowd and supplying them with rail-
road tickets. The train was several
hours late and the station during the
waiting time was a scene of great bus
sengers spent the time chewing gum,
eating peanuts, stick candy and fruits
and making the acquaintance of their
fellow travellers. Among the passen-
gers were a bride and groom, (Mr.
and Mrs. Helvenston) who were
showered with rice when they came
on board, four small girls who wore
their hair braided and tied with big
bows and wore short dresses. They
were Mrs. Sistrunk, Miss Sara Har-
ris and Misses Matte and Carrie Will
liams: Mrs. Hooker, with her pet dog,
Mrs. McIver wearing a travelling suit
and a very gorgeous h&--, Miss Annie
Sharpe, as a typical old maid, Mrs. c..
c. Carroll, as the baby with her hair
in curls, a baby dress and cap, were
some of the travellers. Others We're

Misses Annie Atkinson and Sue An
derson made very pretty maids and
Brantly Weathers proved himself an
excellent conductor.
The tables were arranged as tracks
and at each one a different game was
played and as the winners moved for
ward their tickets were punched by
the conductor. When the train arriv-
ed at Ocala a twenty minutes stop for
dinner was given. The passengers
rushed pell nell into the railroad res
taurant where they grabbed sand
witches and drinks and made away
with them in a most rapid and truly
railroad manner.
The journey was then resumed and
continued for some time longer and
was one of the most enjoyable trips
! that can be imagined.
The grand finale Of this unique par
" was very delicious supper, which
was served in the dining room. The
serving table was beautifully decOrat-
ed the colors used being pink and
white. In the center was a handsome
cut glass and silver candlebra and at
the four corners Of the table were
crystal candei sticks. the candles all
being shaded in pink Two cut glass
vases of pink and white carnations
completed the table decorations. Mrs.
Carroll sat at the table and poured the
coffee and tea and the two pretty rail-
road maids served the supper Dur

more weeks the improvement will be
completed. The cement work will be
of the same quality as that used On
the other new cement walks which
have been put in during the last few
years. Instead of the walk being as
wide as the former brick one it will
be one foot narrower, making it eight
feet This cut in the width does not
spoil the walk as much as it would
seem at first though, but gives more
room between the curb and cement,
making the grass plot wider and
thereby improving the natural yuali-
