part of it. On the sociological side
may be mentioned the Increased pow

REV. GRAY AND WIFE ABROAD

The friends of Rev. and Mrs. Chas
NJ. Gray will be interested in reading
a few extracts from Mr.. Grays last
/ letter, written from COnstantinople
Turkey, February 2Stb:
I'VE arrived here at 4 p. m, which
was s a. m, with you. From Athens
here we had a fine run through the
Aegean Sea, the Dardanelles and Mar
mora Sea and the Greek Archipelago
We saw many beautiful sights on the
way Now We are anchored at the
entrance to the Bosphorus, with Ga
lata and STEAMBOAT on our left, separat-
ed by the Golden Horn and Scutari
on our right, and all lighted up now,
as write, it makes a lovely picture,
almost surrounded by brilliant lights
and myriads of them. There are
more than a million people within
gunShot of US. This wonderful spot
is at the meeting of two seas and two
continents. like a diamond between
sapphires and emeralds. 1t is almost
without a peer in its location. The
effect from a distance, especially with
the sunshine on its white palaces, its
many domes, its graceful minarets
and its quaint buildings is bewilder-
ingly beautiful.
I'VE can see the harem of the sui
tan from our boat, all brilliantly light
ed. One hundred and one women are
there. and no man but the sultan is
allowed to enter the grounds. 'Tis
said that Lord Byron went in, dressed
as a woman, and was shot through a
chute into the bay. We have just lis
tened TO a lecture on ConstantinOple
by Prof. Alexander Van Milligan, of
Robert College, this place. We will

day, and we take n Galata Tower, the

NOTABLE MEDICAL DISCOVERY
Of Special Value to Many Here in
OcaIa

A notable medical discovery. and
one that appeals especially to many
people in Ocala is the combination of
stomach remedies in the Mona treat
ment. This preparation has worked
wonders in cases of indigestion or
weak stomach.
1t acts specifically upon the walls
of the stomach and bowels, strength
ening and stimulating them so that
they readily take care of the food that
is eaten without distress or suffering.
So positive are the good effects fol
lowing the use of Mona that the
remedy is sold by the Postof1ce Drug
store under an absolute guarantee TO
refund the money if it fails to cure.
With an offer like this none can af-
ford to suffer with Indigestion or
stomach troubles. A 50-cent box OF
Mona will do more than half a dozen
boxes of ordinary digestive tablets.

OF earthly success our ears in sadness
turn to the monody that marks shat

laurel upon the exalted head, We are
called upon to rear the gravestone and
pronounce the solemn "Requiescat"
Personal differences and factional
jealousies may well be hushed m the
tribute that must be spoken for one
who is thus cut of. And this tribute
will be all the more heartfelt because

unimpeachable and stainless. Such
men are all too rare in these days of

dead at 81, may well be an inspiration
and an example to Florida youth fer
years to come, a blessed memory of
