fair to say: MANY links in the chain

condemned the fly but the verdict

circumstantial evidence. AS a cold

that they could scent food or decaying
bodies for several miles and might
fly over 90 or 80 miles a day, especial

to be observed, is carefully qualified.
Like the other Investigators, he is by
no means certain of his ground, and
in this manner aids in setting that
example of scientific caution which
must reap the best result in the long
battle only just begun.
The first and greatest step against
the fly is to do away with the exposed

There is no malice in the uprising. 1t
is simply the manifestation of a scien-
tific yearning to hand him his dues,
full-measure and trimming over, for
past chockful of all manner of Grim
inality and desire to chop short a
future hopeless of reform. His tricks
and his manners" long regarded at
the worst as petty annoyances for the
discipline of our souls, have in recent
years assumed an aspect so menacing
that we are more and more deter
mined to do without the Christening
qualities of his presence altogether
DR.. Daniel D. Jackson, formally de
nouncing this enemy before a joint
convention of the American Civic AS
ISOLATION and the National Municipal
League. put the case in unequivocal
terms: Regarded in the light of re-
cent knowledge, the fly is more dan,
gerous than the tiger or the cobra.
Worse than that, he Is, at least in our
climate, much more to be feared than
the mosquito and may easily be class
ed the world over as the most danger
GUS animal on earth"
When DR.. Jackson thus araigns the
fly the last word has been said The
details can only bolster up the gener-
alization-provided the details are
true.
Are they true?
They have at least one point in their
favor which is characteristic perhaps
of no set of facts ever predicated of
ANYTHING out side of an exact science.

ANOTHER PARTY FOR VISITING
GIRLS

Just now Ocala has the honor of en-
pertaining bevy of very attractive
visiting girls, and since their coming
there has been much doing among the
young society crowd
Last night Miss Mary Burford COM
|plimented them with a very lovely
dance at the home of her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. R. A. Burford, on Fort King
avenue
The evening was just cool enough
for dancing, and the music furnished
by Miss Whitfield was very inspiring.
1t was a regular program dance, and
during the intermissions the guests
partook of very tempting refresh
ments.
Receiving with Miss Burford and
her parents was their house guest,
Miss julie Wiley, and it was very
much regretted that Miss Wiley was
to return to her home in Alabama on
the midnight train.
The other visiting girls were Misses
Camp, Misses Gardner, Miss 0bie Nc
Kenzie, Miss Bessie Smith and Miss
Mae Muncaster.

tour of the county. and write an inn
partial story for his home paper of his
of our state and county.
But before doing so he is willing to
be shown, and wants to be shown. He
does not want to make statement to
his people that is not warranted by
the facts, and on the other hand does
not want to do the county or the state

can in Iowa-they simply want to es-

they can be convinced that the half

he has ever seen. and one cannot see
it without admiring it. We congratu-

A WAR sToRY-A SINGULAR CO.
INCIDENCE

Mr.. L. ]. Walker of Charlotte, n. c.,
who has been spending some weeks in
Ocala, showed us "a picture of two boys
taken just after they enlisted in the
Confederate army and just before en-
tering upon active duty. and the pic
ture of these same two boys after the
war had ended They were the pic
lures of his brother and himself. One
was nineteen and the other seventeen
years of age They entered the same
day in the same company, received
marching orders and in a little while
were with Lee in Virginia. Both par
ticipated in the same battles and es-
capped the bullets of the enemy until
the battle of Gettysburg. In that bat
tie both we're wounded. They were
wounded the same day, both were ta-
ken prisoners and both were wounded
so seriously that each had to have a
leg amputated. This was done after
they reached prison, one being sent to
Johnson's Island, near Chicago, and
the other to a prison near New York
Neither knew that the others leg was
amputated until six months after
wards, when it turned out that each
had the left leg amputated, and iden.
tically at the same spot, there not be-
ing sixteenth of an inch difference.
Both located in the same town after
the war was over, and frequently ex-
changed artificial limbs with each 9TH
er. The picture taken together after
their return home shows the missing
leg, the amputation being at identi-
cally the same place.
1t seems to us that this is quite a
coincidence.

flights. were largely indebted to Col
onel T. J.. Laud-Brown for the splendid
exhibition, as it was through his kind
ly offices that the aeronaut consented
to visit us without making any pre-
vious engagement, and the Marion

in securing the exhibition. 1t was a
wonderful treat, and we congratulate

mental in securing it.
