WHY THE BAPTIST WITNESS IS

Publishing Co. make a bid for print

bid made by the Painter Printing Co,
of DeLand. The prospects are that
lOcala will give us at least $500 TO
$500 worth of advertising patronage
more than DeLand could. proftably
to herself. give us. Ocala being a
ter business center than DeLand.
Ocala moreover, is more favorably
located. being more nearly in the CEN
ter of the state, on three main lines
of railroads and accessible to nearly
I'll the state in one day. We had bids
rom two other places, viz: Live Oak
and Arcadia. and sought bids from
still others, notably Jacksonville and
Barlow. but these declined 10 bid
Under all circumstances. Ocala 5

accepted it. and shall hope TO make
Ocala the papers permanent home.

not renew it at once. Ii will cost us
something 10 move. The managing
RHifnr will mood N al no NJ

Strengthened out. and so will not be

We hope TO pay every dollar of our
indebtedness to the Painter Print
ing Co, before we leave DeLand and
be able to pay our bills in full from
rem, il we are TO do this you must
help us and do il right now. If our
obligations are not promptly met
there may arise complications I'M
pleasant for all concerned We knew
this to begin with. But We have con-
fidence in our brethren. Otherwise
We could never have made this ven
ture When once we are settled we
have absolutely no fear. but we are
dependent upon you 10 help us get
settled. and We have no doubt that
you will do it.
We leave DeLand with much reIuc-
lance. II is an ideal place TO live.
The moral educational and religious
atmosphere is of the very highest
type. To live under the shadow of a
great school like Stetson University
is privilege that any one might
well covet.
Our relations with the Painter
Printing Co. have been more than
satisfactory; they have been delight
full. There has never been a jar OF
any kind and we hold in high esteem,
personally. every one in the shop who
had anything to do with the Witness |
They have. without exception. been |
efficient and obliging. and our deal /
ings with them will be among our
pleaSantest memories. We do not eN-
pect any less in these respects in |
Ocala than we have enjoyed in De-
Land Indeed we look forward TO
our new home with keeneSt antici- !
patton.
We trust the move is of the Lord. |
We have earnestly and faithfully
asked Him 10 direct us, and this is
the way our impressions have led
us. And may God add His blessing
and may the Witness under God and
by the support of the brethren grow
yancement OF His kingdom.

Peace and rest. are they the best

Cat In Love With Doll.

Did you ever see n cat in love with
q doll? Probably not.
Cats have been known to fall in
love" with chickens and even hatch
eggs and bring up feathered chill
dren. but a cat in love with a cold,
motionless doll--that is something
entirely new.
Yet a Chicago woman, Mrs. John
n. Keith, has just such cat.
The cat is one of the male per-
suasion and is a handsome Angora,
with a big fluffy tail, a winner of
honors at cat shows, and of q color
that is best described by his name
Peach.
Peach's sweetheart is a doll that
Mrs. Keith used to play with when
she was little girl. 1t is not an
ordinary doll, because he is as big
as a small baby, and instead of hav-
ing the perishable head which is
wont to decorate the sawdust stuffed
body nowadays has a head of porce-
lain. The doll is a brunette, having
dark hair (of porcelain) and big
blue eyes. Then, too, it is lavishly
dressed and withal attractive.
Peach fell in love as suddenly as
the proverbial swain. One day, a
few weeks ago. Mrs. Keith ran
across the doll in a trunk through
which she was rummaging. and got
It out to admire it and recall the
happy days of her childhood.-N. Y.

headformost through the windows to

been saved If they had kept their

the alarm handled the fire without

wood Rats, TREASURY.

The Kansas wood rat is small, no
larger that a common rat, but his
ambition and acquisitiveness are in
satiable. His one insane desire
seems to be to increase the size of
his pile of sticks. The neighboring
field Is placed under tribute First
of ali; the nearby sticks are gathered
into the pile. Then, as these are
cleaned up, he goes farther and
farther away from home for more
sticks. And in this huge pile of
sticks he stores his winter supply of
nuts.
Many time, when we were enjoy
ing farm life by living mostly on
sorghum and cornbread, buttermilk
and Missouri dried apples, have we
gone to the woods with the other
boys and taken nicely hulled wal
nuts from a nest of a wood rat
