DEATH OF Mr.. cHAS. o'MALLEY
FoY

1t is with a Kten sense OF sorrow
that this paper announces the death
of Mr.. Chas. O'Malley Foy. The dis
tressing event occurred Tuesday
night at the Marion county hospital.
The deceased belonged to a proG-
inent South Carolina family. and,
moving to Florida, first settled ut
Leesburg. He came from Leesburg
to Ocala. He then resided for a short
while at Port Inglis, and afterwards
purchased a farm near Belleview AMI
a home in the little town. He will be
greatly missed at all these places, for
he was well known in all Of them,
and was greatly beloved by those who
knew him, for he was a genial and q
most lovable man.
Mr.. Foy was a great friend to the
newspapers and had a natural fond
ness for literature. His pen was pro-
life, and he was the author of many
fugitive poems that, because of their
intrinsic merit, found their way into
the columns of many of the newspa-
pers of the country. He was a regd-
lar contributor for the Leesburg Com
mercial, the Tampa Times and both
the Ocala papers. He possessed true
poetic genius and he was most versa
tile, some of his poems dealing in wit,
humor, satire and pathos, and 1e-
serve a place in our historical society.
When the Confederate monument
was unveiled in Ocala, at the request
of the ladies who had the same in
charge, Mr. Foy contributed a beauti-
full poem for the occasion, which was
read with fine effect, and received the
most favorable criticism; and, again,
when the patriotic citizens of Belle
view had Fourth of July celebration,
participated in mostly by the large
number of northern settlers there,
Mr.. Foy was called on by a delega-
ton for a poem and it fitted the occa-
sion so well that it formed a chief
place on the program, and it received
very high concentrations.
Mr.. Foy was an afable, urbane, ami
able gentleman, and won his way into
the affections of those he mingled
with, and they were pleased to be
counted as his friends.
The last time the writer saw him
he talked very courageously of death
and looked upon it as one who lays
down to pleasant dreams. To him it
had no terrors.

COMPLIMENTS TO AN OCALA
BRIDE-ELECT AND HER
FIANCE

AS rule the autumn season begins
with the announcement of betrothals,
in which our fair girls are the leading
figures. But this season differs some
what from the ordinary, in that it is
our popular young men wa! are CHI If
ly concerned, and this is nlTch mo e
to our liking. When it is one of Jack
sons girls who is woOed ana won, too
often she leaves US TO max. her home
in some other place. Bit when it is
one of the splendid young men Cf
Jackson, who is established in either
a business or a profession, he is very
much more than apt to brInS his bri Re
to dwell among us, and thus we, Us
we'll as he, gain infinitely by the mar
riage.
Many of Mississippfs :oung sons
left their native place and sought
the capital with dreams of making
here a larger and more important Ca
reer. And to some of these Jackson
owes in large measure the splendid
reputation she now enjoys as an adj
mirable business and social center,
since they have brought to her n
generous measure the qualities neces-
sary to a fine citizenship. Few of the
younger men who have come to dwell
in Jackson IN recent years have made
for themselves a higher place in the
public esteem or in the sincere ad-
miratiOn Of his intimate associates
than has Mr. Dewitt Greenwood Ha-
ley, the assistant commissioner of ag-
.riculture for the state of Mississippi.
That this young man is needful to go
into distant lands to seek a bride we
could not understand, did we not
know the girl herself, and know also
how lovely and winsOme she is and
how well worth the rich gift of Mr..
Greenwood Haley's heart and faith
and trust. During several extended
visits to her close friend, Miss Aletha
Vardaman, at the executive mansion,
Mr. Haleys fiance, Miss Anne Nixon
of Ocala, Florida, made for herself an
enviable place in the friendship of
our people. Thus, when she comes
among us to make her home she will
find a warm welcome awaiting her
for her own sweet charm as we'll as
for the sake of the splendid young
Mississippian whom she has chosen
out of all the world as the sharer CT
life's joys and sorrows with her. TO
both the young people whose marriage
will be celebrated in the early winter,
though the exact date is not yet fixed,
we extend sincerest congratulations.
