MISS sToTEsBuRY GIVES LOVELY
TEA AT THE GOLF LINKS

Friday afternoon Miss Emily Stotes-
bury entertained fifty or more of her
friends at a tea on the golf links,

Friday afternoon at the links was one
of great pleasure
The first prize was won by Mr.. Phil

ONE OF THE TWIN SONS OF Mr.
AND MRS. DUNCAN DIES


Tuesday night one of the twin sons
of Mr.. and Mrs. Eugene B. Duncan
died at their home on Orange avenue,
after a brief life of less than ten days.
The little one that passed away had
been named James Mayo Duncan for
his maternal grandfather, Col. James
Mayo, of this city. The little life
that blossomed so sweetly for such a
brief time was cut off by an attack
of yellow jaundice.
The body of this little babe was ia
ken to Greenwood cemetery Wednes-
day afternoon, accompanied by mum.
Der of relatives and friends, and was
tenderly and lovingly laid to rest
Rev. J. B. Ley of the Methodist church
conducted a brief funeral service, and
Mr.. McIver was in charge of the fu-
neral.
In the death of their little son Mr.
and Mrs. Duncan have the sympathies
of their friends, who also regret ex
ceedingly to learn that their other
little twin son is quite sick, and hope
that this little one will soon recover

IA VISIT TO THE HAIR MANuFAc-
TORY

AS the subject of false hair has
meen the paramount issue for the last
two years, and the fact is no longer
denied by the fair sex, and as the sub
ject las taken its place in the news
paper world along with the Easter hat
joke, it becomes the duty of the re-
porter to investigate little.
1t was the pleasure of Banner re-
porter to be shown through the mys-
teries of the process OF handling the
beautiful adjunct to feminine beauty.
The lady, Mrs. NJ. L. Barber, tells us
that most of her stock is obtained not
only in America, but here at home,
and in Texas, where she bought some
beautiful specimens before coming to
Ocala. And also that those who are
blessed with a surplus of hair have
responded literally to her advertise
ment in the Banner.
The combings all ladies will un-
derstand the tern-are first straight
ened in way to permit of as little
breaking as possible. They are next
put through a set of needles called a
header, and all the roots turned one
way. Graduating is the next process,
in which all the lengths are classified; ;
then put into large cards to prevent
tangling, and it goes to the loom,
where it is woven by deft fingers so
substantial that we are assured that it
will stand the wear and tear of years.
A small machine, that might be mis-
taken for sausage grinder, is where
it is then mounted on a cord, which
holds it in place. We are told that a
hot bath is included, with a solution
of disinfectants, and in doubtful cases,
where the hair might have fallen or
have been cut from fevers, it is allow
ed to remain in the fumes of Tornado
hyde for IS hours or more, before be-
ing touched by the operators.
The two young ladies employed by
Mrs. Barber, Miss Mamie Counts and
Miss Jessie Woods, have learned the
trade since she opened business and
are doing efficient work. The three
ladies have turned out nearly 800
pieces for the public and for the trade
in the short time since Mrs Barber
has been in Ocala.
The prices range from S. to $25.
Seven specimens at the latter price
were shown us, the cause for the adj
vanced value being the rare shade, ex-
ira length and the soft quality. These
three qualifications are requisites for
value, and when all three are combin-
ed in one article the lady who is for
tunate enough to be matched by
such is willing to pay almost any
price.

Mr.. c. H. Mathis Of Blackyille, S. 6

Mr.. C. H. Mathis Of Blackville, S. G.,
the successful cantaloupe grower, is
advertising the cantaloupe seed in
our weekly edition which has made
him famous in the markets of the
country, and is also advertising a
seed corn that has captured major
ity of the prizes offered at every
fair held in the state of South
Carolina. On four and half acres of
land Mr.. Mathis gathered three hum
dred bushels Of corn by actual meas
urement. 1t seems to us that our Ma
rion county farmers ought to get busy
and procure some of this seed corn.
Mr.. Mathis is more interested than
ever in our section and has had ship
ned in FIVE hundred and sixty-one tons
of high grade fertilizer for his water
melon. cantaloupe and cucumber
crops. Looks to us like that means
business. He says that he has raised
on his Florida farm all the foodstuffs
that he requires for his stock. That
Florida is one of the great states OF
the republic. Mr.. Mathis ought to
know. for he farms north, east. south
and west.

BOOST ocALA

Boost your town, you citizens of
ocala. The recent census put "the
pride of Marion county" down with a
population of less than 5000. That
should be a disgrace to any town as
old as Ocala and to think that Ocala.
Marion county, Fla, is to be so classed
till 1920. In 1890 ocala had less than
5000. What will it be in 1920? Set
your stake up and climb It. It may be
greasy pole, but climb it, anyhow.
Merchants of Ocala, boost your
town; it's your town; your business
is here, and your business will grow
as the town grows. The faster Ocala
grows, the better for its citizens. Hot
air never made city, but progressive
citizens can.
The Senior Epworth League Of the
NJ. E. church is for a greater Ocal8
and a greater Florida. The leagn6
viii make straight, upright and pro
gressive citizens, SO far as it is itpits
power to do so. The youth makes
himself, but his early training goes
a long way toward making him what
he really is.
We are for greater OcaIa, and we
want Ocala to be for a greater Senior
Epworth League at the NJ. E. church,
south. Boost your league, but don't
stop boosting to watch results keep
right on boosting. Make 1911 ban
ner year.
Meet us at $3.50 every Sunday.
