changes have taken place in the shire
town Of Citrus county since his resi-
dence there. That the population has
more than doubled and the improve
ments In homes and business houses

population. Dr. Reeves has recently
added 5000 acres Of timber land to

900 acres more, which will give him a

INTERESTING FACTS TO SMOKERS

Do you know that in Cuba, to test
Havana tobacco, the leaf is rolled into
a cigar and lighted to get the taste.
then the light is permitted to go out
an dthe cigar is again lighted. and if
the taste is rank and bitter the tobac-
CO is graded as inferior quality. Palm
Smokers are always sweet after re-
lighting.
Do you know that you cannot get
finer Havana tobacco in any cigar at
any price than that which is in a Palm
Smoker?
Do you know that Palm Smokers are
made by Cuban hand workmen? Every
cigar will burn even and draw free
not like cigars that are made in molds
Do you know that Palm Smokers
cost dealers more than any other SC
cigar, that is because they are worth q
great deal more.
Do you know that the wrapper and
filler of a Palm Smoker comes from
the famous Vuelta Abajo district o,
Cuba and that the same grade of to-
bacco is used in the finest brands o,
imported cigars?
Do you know that If you have not
smoked a Palm Smoker, that you have
not smoked the best?
Do you know that Palm Smoker
has that smooth, rich taste that is sc
much sought in high grade Havana
cigars?
Do you know that substitutes ma,
look the same as Palm Smokers bu
they will not taste the same? Insis
upon getting a Palm Smoker, then 70,
know you are getting the best tina
money will buy.
The Price of Palm Smokers is 5 cent?
and They are for Sale at All
First Class Dealers

THE FOURTH OF JULY

What shall be the nature of it and
shall Ocala indulge in its celebration?
Several days ago a number of our
merchants approached US and desired
the Star to take note of the fact and
arouse our merchants to a considera-
ton Of the same.
To draw a crowd there must be at
fractions: to create attractions costs
money. Along this line there are mer-
chants who are willing to contribute
and literally some believing that in
the crowd they attract enough money
will be spent In the city for the mer-
chants to more than make good their
contributions. There are other mer-
chants who do not favor general
celebration of the day in way to
simply attract the crowd. because they
insist that large majority Of the peo-
pie attracted will come to Ocala any
way to do their general trading and
therefore such a congestion simply an
ticipates a want that would later be
supplied.
Then there is another class of mer-
chants and business men who are
heartily In favor Of celebrating the
4th Of July in a manner that would be
q credit to our patriotism and hospi-
tality. Their idea is to have 4th OF
July celebration expressly for the en-
tertainment Of our country cousins. In
a word, to get up fine barbecue, in
vite our white country friends and
give the day over to them There Is
good reason in this. We have been the
guests so frequently of our country
cousins at their picnics, where we have
RECALLED ourselves at their bounteous
hospitality, that 1t is about time we
reciprocate and not invite them here
to begui1e them out OF their money
but for the pure pleasure OF entertain
ing them and convince them we have
in our hearts other pulsations than
that Of dollars and cents. In fact
their hospitality has been so unstint-
ed towards US and ours so inconsider-
ate, that when Ocala proclaims some
great gathering or 4th of July cele-
bration, it should not be for profit but
to show our country friends to what
degree Of warmth we can inject intt
our greeting and hospitality of the
day.
Now this celebration we are REFER
ing to Is to be a genuine one of pa
triotism and hospitality. Let Ocals
celebrate the Fourth in good old style
with patriotic music, patriotic address
es and a barbecue dinner that will
satisfy the inner man in a way tina
shall leave no doubt of our intention
Let US on that day close our store ant
office doors and make it an occasion
of social greeting, friendly comming
ling and hospitality. Other towns ar
showing this spirit of hospitality an
why not Ocala. 1t is not time?
