HEART IN HIS WORDS,
BUT NOT HIS MIND
Representative Gudger Explains
How He Exalted the Stars
and Bars.

The Confederate flag the STARS and
Bars" Is the national emblem OF the
people OF the United States. according to
statement by Representative Gudger OF
North Carolina In yesterdays issue of the
Congressional Record. Mr.. Gudger made
a speech some days ago and the followin <
is the peroration of his revised speech as
1t appears In the Record:
I'm a great country like ours. stretching
from ocean to ocean. from lake to gulf,
embracing within it's limits every kind
OF soil. capable OF producing everything
used by man. the trade privileges of the
greatest government on earth should be
retained and used for the people who
float the Stars and Bars"
Immediately after the House met yes
terday Representative Kendall of Iowa
arose with the Record In his hand and
called attention to Mr.. Gudger's state
ment, which he thought should be cor
rected by the House. But as the North
Carolina member was not present at the
time, MIR. Kendall did not press his in
quiry as to when the Stars and Stripes
had been supplanted by the Stars and
Bars.
Later, when Mr.. Gudger came on the
floor, he was asked what he meant.
Oh he replied, with a smile, 1T was
just slip of the tongue. Thinking more
of the Stars and Bars than of the Stars
and Stripes, l said it."

most depressing in our history, forg-
ing ahead against the tides that con-
fronted it and dashed against it, hav-
ing on it's books a large list of Gus
toners. many of whom have grown
up with it, this bank has in Marion
county an interest and sentiment
peculiarly its own.
This bank has, indeed been the
architect of its own fortune and it
thrives because it is conducted for
the good of others as well ats its
owners.
This bank is not perfect by any
means. Nothing that we know of is
perfect. All people and all things
have their strong points and their
weak points. The secret of prosper
ity and happiness is to get next to
the people and things whose good
features most heavily outweigh their
deficiencies.

plete were we not to follow it up with
brief mention of it's officers and at
taches.
T. r. Munroe
Mr.. T. T. Munroe, the president Of
the bank, came to Ocala from SYRIA
cuse, N. Y, in 1887. He bought a
plantation near the city, and, like so
many others of that period, made an
orange grove. He was appointed dep
uty collector of United States rev
enue, and for seven years canvassed
the eighteen counties lying north of
a line from Sanford to Tampa This
gave him intimate knowledge of the
territory and wide acquaintance with
the people In 1891 he accepted a
position with the BuffUm Loan and
Trust Company, and there made the

general notice.
Ten years ago the Palmetto Farms,
owned by the officers of this bank,
introduced Shorthorn cattle into this
county, and by wide advertising, pub
lie sales and bringing people here,
brought Marion county into general
and favorable notice as a stock-rais-
ing and feed producing section of the
state.
The members of the firm are loyal
believers in advertising, and since
opening business in 1897 no copy Of
the Banner has been printed without
an advertisement of this firm appear
ing in it. When occasion offers they
increase their advertising space, and
do not confne it to the local papers.
They make use of advertising in all
lines.
The Munroe and Chambliss Bank
has always been a strong advocate
of the building of hard roads, because
it foresaw what a potential factor
they would become in the settlement
and development of the town and
county.
In 1902 this bank furnished all the
money for the building of our new
court house. bonds for the purpose
having been defeated by a popular
vote
In stock raising, trucking and gen
eral farming, this bank has helped
largely to set the pace and it has
consistently placed its investments at
home, and has strained every nerve
for the upbuilding of the county.
But, speaking of the bank proper:
The Munroe and .Chambliss Bank,
incorporated October 18th, 1907, with
paid in capital of $4,000, to which
has been added, from earnings, $25,-

evade it; to get under the burden

giving advice on the situation. Hub
bard.
The Munroe and Chambliss Bank
has in every way measured up to FL
bert Hubbard's dictum.
The example set by the young men
at the head of it infused a buoyant
spirit into our business life, inspired
confidence among our people, stimu-
lating them to renewed efforts of in
dustry, and has resulted in magnif-
cent results.
There was yet but little money in
Marion county, but the many small
deposits soon began to make a re-
spectacle aggregate.
In the general smash-up that had
overtaken US our school fund was
largely involved, and teachers war
rants became very much deprecated,
and were compelled to be cashed at
heavy discounts. 1t was at this time
that the Munroe and Chambliss Bank
did a patriotic act by voluntarily of
fering not only to loan money to the
county board of public instruction,
but to make all outstanding warrants
worth 100 cents in the dollar, charging
only per. cent interest.
The editor of this paper was a
member of the board at the time
and vouches for the truthfulness OF
the above assertion.
Another instance of a desire fol
general usefulness is shown by the
following advertisement taken from

make collections and sell exchange
The business was confined strictly to
these transactions, but afforded the
only link then existing between the
limited mercantile business of Ocala
and the outside world. This proved a
great convenience, for as one farmer
recently said: 1T was the only place
where even a little vegetable check
could be cashed"
After a time business men began
to ask that deposits be taken, and
that their cash be kept in the big
screw-door safe then in use, but on
account of the disturbed condition of
credits it was thought best to decline.
In February, 1898, the property of
the failed Merchants National Bank
