HlLLIARD.
Our ruunity, during the past
week or two has certainly experienced
a larg number of deaths. Last Thurs
day night the grim messenger claimed
our respected citizen, SIMEON HILLIARD
in his 10Th year, who has resided on
Fifth street for many years. The
death was a great shock to our citizens
few realizing that his illness was OF a
dangerous nature.
Deceased was born at st. George, n.
B., (his parents having moved from
Boston there), Feb. 13, 1888. He was
married to Miss Charlotte Spafford,
Oct. 25, 1857. Eight children were
born to this union, four having died in
infancy. The living children are
Sarah and Alice, wife of Jason B.
Loucks. Mr.. Hillyard came to Will
Transport in 1865, going from that city
in 1875 sto Winterburn, where he en-.
gagged in his occu patton of mill wright
In 1888 he moved to Emporium and
engaged with G. B. Howard & Sons, as
mill-wright and remained with that
firm until the shut down of the old
mill, when he worked for the powder
companies as carpenter-the last three
years faithfully serving the Keystone
Powder Co., up to within four weeks
of his death
Always industrious and saving he
accumulated some means and invested
the same in Emporium Powder Co.
No citizen of Emporium was more
highly respected than our friend His
word was as good as gold.
The First Baptist church, of which
he had been a consistent member for
over forty years, loses one of it's main
pillars. When he came to Emporium
he brought his letter here and when
the society was organized he was one
of the incorporators. He served as
Deacon up to the time of his death.
He was a grand, good man and the
writer hereof deeply deplores his
demise, although it is to peaceful,
better world. We shall remember his
friendship as long as life lasts. His
bereaved, widow, now in her S1st year,
and his devoted children can point
with pride to his spotless life.

from the family residence last Sun

Col. r. F. Rogers, who returned yes
terday from Jacksonville. where he
went on matters pertaining to his
turpentine business. returned home to-
day. The colonel is enthusiastic over
the results of the labors of a decrepit
mule and negro in growing a crop of
peas and sweet potatoes. OF course
it was done under the coloners direc-
tions. 1t was poor scrub. pine land.
but fertilizer and good cultivation did
the work. There was not quite an
acre of land but in bushels the crop
counted several hundred and of the
finest variety. Then the colonel has
several tons of fresh pork already in
cold storage and more to follow and
the delicious sausage that now adorn
the colonels well-laden table were all
produced by a little extra labor and
work along the intensive line, an ex-
ample that our people who tickle
mother earth would do we'll to follow.
The colonel is thinking seriously of
showing some fine shoats at the coun-
ty fair. The colonel says that in his
forty years at farming only once did
his sweet potato yield exceed the one
of this year, that was in 1872 on a
richer piece of soil.

THE TEAPOT GROCERY

to see his old friends at the Teapot
and desires US TO state that there will
be no changes made in the general
policy of the business which will be
continued on the same liberal lines
preserved by the former owners.
Mr.. Christian is the senior partner
of the we'll known firm Of Christian
Dixon Company, of Mcintosh, which
is one of the most substantial mer-
camille concerns in Florida. This is
Mr.. Christians first active interest in
Ocala and we trust ii is only a fore
runner of many others.
Mr.. Ford will superintend the office
work and accounting Of the business,
which position he is We'll equipped to
fill
The new proprietors of the store
will use every effort to retain and
please all of the customers now on the
books and will make an active cam
paign for new accounts. Everything
that is desirable in the grocery line
will be handled, every possible atten-
ton will be shown to the patrons of
the store. All of the delicacies of the
holiday season will be found in their
stock. The business will be strictly
retail one and all the energies of
the proprietors will be applied to-
wards making it one of the largest
and best in the state.
The name-The Teapot Grocery-is
household word in this section of
the state. 1t has been the aim Of
Messrs Abe and Jake Brown to build
up business of which they could feel
proud. They have succeeded admir-
ably and for nearly twenty years the
Teapot Grocery has stood for the best
In groceries and its proprietors en-
joyed a reputation second to none for
honesty and for fair business deal
ings.
The Star wishes for the new firm a
steady and increase in business and
popularity, as the retiring firm has
enjoyed, and being familiar with the
business training and high standing of
the new proprietOrs. We feel no hes
itancy in saying that they have a
bright future before them.
The trade has been pending for
several weeks, but there is world of
work and many details to be arrang-
ed in the transfer of a business the
size of the Teapot Grocery and espe-
cially when the business is a retail
grocery.

GENERAN GRANTS OPINION
ON THE ARMY .cANTEEN

Cincinnati Dec. 11.-General Fred
Grant, who was at Fort Thomas, near
this city, yesterday on a trip of in
spection. made some pointed remarks
AT the fort bearing on temperance in
the army. Passing through the post
exchange, where nothing but soft
drinks can be sold to the soldiers
General Grant remarked:
How much better it would be if
the men could get their beer here as
they used to do"
Pressed for his views on the can
teen question the general said:
AS you perhaps know / am per-
sonally a total abstainer. never
drink any kind of intoxicants, but that
is merely personal to me and 1 do not
try to force my views on others. The
army canteen while it existed provid-
ed a place where the men could get
light drinks-those who were inclin-
ed to spend their money that way and
do no harm TO themselves of any one
else. Now the men who want to drink
have to go off the post, and they fall
into the hands of those who want to
sell them all they can drink in the
shortest space of time. They also get
in contact with loose characters of
both sexes and the result is bad for
the soldiers and the army In the
canteen the profits of what the men
spend go back to their company funds
To improve their table. Now it goes
to outsiders who have no interest in
the soldiers beyond what they can
get out of them"
will you take part in the renewal
of the agitation for the restoration OF
the canteen?" he was asked.
Il think not. | have spent a lot of
time and argument on it. but l believe
the prohibition movement that is
spreading over the country may per-
haps make it improbable to renew
the fight. In the first place We are
getting more and more men into the
army from sections where they have
been trained in the idea that drink
ing is "a bad thing, and then an in
creasing number Of posts are in ter
ritory where the saloon is not allow
ed 10 exist. SO the temptation to the
men Is not so great as it way. In the
face of the prohibition wave l do not
believe a new effort to revive the cam
teen would be successful
