MORRiS-PRiEST.

One of the prettiest weddings of
last season was solemnized at the
beautiful home of Mr. ]. ]. Priest the
31st of December when his accom-
plished daughter, Miss Lee, was mar
ried TO Mr.. Jno. G.. Morris, of Ocala.
Loving hands had searched the flow
or gardens and nearby forest for
flowers and eyergreens to expess APP
peciation Of this enjoyable event. Ro-
ses, violets. yellow jassamine. ferns,
and eyergreens were arranged in
arches and tasty decorations which
made this lovely home a small fairy
land.
Promptly at 10 o'clock the bridal
party descended the stairs and en-
tered the spacious parlor where they
were met by Rev. n. B. Plummer, pas
ter of the Red Level church, who read
the beautiful ceremony and united
these popular young people. After re-
ceiving congratulations from the
many friends and relatives who were
present the bridal party and guests
were invited TO the dining room where
ample refre shments had been served
in the good old southern style.
The bride and bridesmaids were
.gowned in white silk decorated with
dainty lace trimmings.
The bride has many friends here
and is an accomplished and beautiful
young lady. Her father, Mr.. J. j.
Priest, is one of the oldest pioneer
settlers in this portion of Florida and
is a fine type of the old southern
stockman and farmer.
The groom, Mr.. Jno. G. Morris. is a
well known young man of Ocala, hav-
ing position with the S A. l.. rail
way. and is a promising young man
of excellent ability. He is also quite
well known in this section having
been employed here part Of last year.
The bridesmaids. Miss Maude Need
ham and Miss Susie Morris, sister
of the groom, are both popular Ocala
young ladies and intimate friends of
the bride
The grOomsmen were J. A. Morris,
of Ocala, brother of the groom. and
Victor f. Charpia, OF Crystal River.
The entrance of the wedding party
into the parlor was very prettily ar
ranged as follows: First to enter the
room were Miss Needham and MI
j. A. Morris, followed by Miss Susie
Morris and Mr.. Victor E. Charpia.
then came the bride and groom. A
very pretty scene was affected by the
arrangement of the bridal party be-
fore the minister.
Mrs. C.. c. Sanders. an intimate
friend of both the bride and groom,
assisted the brides mother in the
arrangements of the wedding details.

GENERAL RAIN IN KANSAS
Fall Has Been Light But Continuous
Since Morning.

1t has been raining nearly all day.
The weather conditions today are those
of late autumu when the sky clouds
easily and the smoke hangs low. while
the leaves rustic under foot and their
companions shower from overhead; all
conditions a reminder OF the passing
season and the proximity of winter
Just a little more than a trace of rain
fell during the hours Immediately pre-
ceding daybreak.
This was followed by a drizziing rain
which began about half past ten this
morning and has continued since. The
precipitation yesterday afternoon
amounted to .01 of an inch, like
amount fell during the night and the
rainfall today has increased the total to
.13 OF an inch.
The prevailing conditions today indi-
cate further showers for this section of
the state and as similar conditions pre-
vail to the east and south the guess is
that local showers will prevail over the
eastern third of the state today and to-
night. The showers of yesterday were
light and covered small areas, many Of
them occurring while the sun was shin
ing brightly. There were several sprin-

clerk is largely clerical and requires
efficiency. In the nature of things no
other officer is equipped to place upon
the real estate assessment rolls such
proper descriptions of property as will
afford a basis for a. legal tax. The or
ganiZation of the office and the infor-
nation at hand make it beyond ques-
ton the place where the rolls should
be written up, and in line with this idea
is the fact that the county clerk is re-
quired by the law to deliver to each
deputy assessor on or before the LIST of
March of each year a list of the tax
able lands and town lots in the respec-
tive townships and cities.
Clearly the uniformity among the
counties required by the law, as we'll as
completeness, economy and dispatch,
require that these rolls be made by the
county clerk; therefore, the tax COM
mission by virtue of the authority
given it by chapter 40S of the law of
1907, makes and enters of record the
following order:
Ordered: That commencing with
1908 and continuing each year there
after until further notice. all real es-
tate assessment rolls shall be written
up by the county clerk in form as by
law required for listing real estate for
assessment and taxation. and be de-
livered to the respective deputy asses
sors on or before March 1.

the county clerks of the state reouir-
ing the county clerks to write IN the

this work has been shifted to the
county assessors, or some other Of

says:
Zone of the essentials in an as
sessment of property in accordance
with the law is correct listing of
lands and town lots in the several
counties. The data for this listing
are in the office of the county clerk.
All conveyance of real estate are
entered upon the transfer record kept
by the county clerk. That officer is
required by law to procure from the
land office of the district in which his
county is situated, a list of the lands
of such county that have been entered
since March LIST of the preceding year,
and to place them on the tax roll. He
is required also to place upon the roll
all lands or town lots that for any
reason have escaped taxation for
previous years, and also must put

Chicago, Oct 25.-Today's session of
the National Civic federation was given
over to five minute talks by business
men who discussed the various topics
introduced by the speakers during the
last three days.
The committee on resolutions present.
ed it's report as follows:
after 20 years of federal legislation,
as interpreted by the court, directed
against the evils of trusts and combi-
nations and against railroad rebates,
beginning with the interstate COM
merce act of 1887, and the antitrust act
of 1890, a general and just conviction
exists that the experience gained in
enforcing these federal acts and 9TH
ers succeeding them demonstrates the
necessity of legislation which shall
render more secure the benefits al
ready gained and better meet the
changed conditions which have arisen
during a long period of active progress,
and in removal of grave abuses of the
management of railroads and corpora
tions.
These changes now demanded are:

RELIC OF CUSTER MASSACRE.
State Historical Society Gets Gun Used
by q Sioux.

A very interesting relic of the Custer
massacre was received today by the
State Historical society from DR.. James
w Gay of Winfield. 1t is a double bar
relied gun used by a Sioux warrior in
that frightful battle.
This gun resembles n double barreled
shotg gun but one of the barrels is a rifle
barrel, and the other is bored out for
shot. 1t is thereby made suitable as a
fowling piece and a man-killer. The
gun bears no makers name. 1t is fired
by percussion caps, and seems to be in
good condition.
The gun was picked up on June 26,
1876, the morning after the battle on
the Little Big Horn, in which Clusters
command was annihilated, by John
Bennington, one of the rescue party.
Bennington found the gun lying be-
side Sioux sub-chief's body. He
also took the leggins, moccasins, and
hunting sack from the dead Sioux. DR..
Gay gave Bennington SO for the gun
and the bullet molds which were in
the sack. The bullet molds are given
to the historical society along with the
gun.

Sherman Laws Is Good


Sherman Laws Is Good.
"Second-The enforcement of the Sher-
man, act and the proceedings under it
during the administrations of Presi-
dents Harrison, Cleveland, Mckinley
and Roosevelt, have accomplished great
national results in awakening the moral
sense of the American people and in
asserting the supremacy and majesty
of the law, thus effectually refuting the
impression that great wealth and large
corporations were too powerful for the
impartial execution of the law. This
great advance rendered more secure all
property rights, resting, as they must,
under a popular government, on uni
VerSal respect for and obedience to the
law. But now that this work is accom-
pliShed, it has revealed the necessity
for legislation which shall maintain all
that the Sherman act was intended to
secure and safeguard interests it was
expected to affect.
LAS the next step in all industrial and
commercial relations, justice and
equality Of opportunity for all. with full
sympathy and loyal support for every,
effort to enforce the laws in the past,

now existing upon combinations on
