tOmetrists also recognize his great

Can you find another man in any
state who has been shown more hon.
ors than the members of a profes-
sion have shown DR.. Boney? Has it
changed the size of his hat or caused
him to add on a higher price for his
work? No; he is the same accommo-
dating Boney His friends throughout
Texas, where he spent his boyhood
days, are not surprised to see him

of lenses for the most complicated
eye, and is prepared to correct any
eye complications His instruments
are the most expensive on the market.
In looking through his examining
room we found very delicate instru-
ment for correcting cross eyes, or
strabismus, known as the Worth
Black .Amblyoscope, with electrical
attachments. Next is what is known
as retinoscope, where the eye is cor
rected by shadow test, or skiascopic

OCALA PUBLIC LIBRARY

The Ocala. Public Library Associa-
ton, organized in 1889. now numbers
about one hundred members. Al
though the annual membership fee of
$50 for the support of the library
is entirely inadequate to make it what
the association wish it to be, yet it
contains $500 volumes. including good
reference books, besides seventeen
monthly magazines, and the daily To-
ca and state papers.
We wish to emphasize the fact that
all persons have free use of these
books and papers, if used in the libra
ry. a small fee being charged if taken
out. Members are permitted to take
them home without charge.
The library is under the manage
ment OF an executive committee COM
posed of it's officers. president, vice
president and librarian, who is secre-
tary and treasurer, and five other
members.

and help in the fight At an enthusi-
astic meeting Mrs. J. c. Porter, now
Mrs. Van Hood, was elected presi-
dent. This office was most ably filled
by her for two terms, when she was
relieved, and Mrs. H. c. Packham
was elected as her successor. This
lady still acts as president, and has
proved herself a tireless and persist
ent worker.
Few unions have done more strenu-
Gus campaign work than the Ocala I'M
ion. The union has fought through
three wet and dry elections, and al
though met by three successive de-
feats, undaunted the members have
set to work again for God and home
and native land
The union was represented by four
of it's members at Tallahassee in 1907,
when the submission bill was before
the legislature, and gave their infiu-
ence towards its passage. Inspired by
that success, this union worked with
renewed energy for statewide prohi-
bition. Everyone remembers the big
parade which the women got up, and
which aroused tremendous enthusi-
asm. They brought brainy men and
women to Ocala, whose oratory thrill
ed the public ear. They did what they
could, and with this encouragement
there has constantly been diminishing
returns for the whiskey element OF
Ocala in the successive elections.
Article of the unions constitution
sets forth the noble incentive to the
continued work, viz: The object OF
the union shall be to educate public
sentiment up to the standard of total
abstinence, to train the young, TO save
the inebriate, and secure the legal pro
hibition of the liquor traffic"
The work of education is now their
task They encourage scientific in
struction regarding the evils of alco
hol in the public schools. Both the
Banner and the Star have graciously
donated a column in their weekly is
sues to the temperance work. They
are edited respectively by Mrs. Bur
ford and Mrs. E. Van Hood.
Aided by press and pulpit, guided
by prayer and patience, the Ocals
Womans Christian Temperance I'm
ion has much to hope for in the battle
of right against wrong.

at farming l was not long in getting
in touch with them, and deal was
soon made whereby j. c. Howell and
a friend OF mine, Mr. Arthur S. Part
ridge. of st. Louis, purchased the hold
ings of Mr.. Lee Howell at Anthony,
and then followed the purchase of 9TH
err tracts, and the organizing of the
Anthony Farm Company. We did not
get under way until January 18th, and
yet, in the short time of sixty days,
Mr.. J. C. Howell plowed, narrowed,
planted, seeded and had in perfect
condition 1000 acres of corn, 200 acres
of cantaloupes, 80 acres of watermel-
ons, 600 acres of velvet beans, 100
acres of peanuts and so acres of
beans, making POLO acres. l don't be-

would operate large manufacturing
establishment.
Our holdings at present cover 5000
acres, and l suppose we have the
largest and perhaps the finest body of
cleared land in the state of Florida,
which was purchased from several
parties to make up such a large acre
age of cleared lands. The writer has
been for many years an intense inves-
tigator of agricultural conditions, and
have been in every state in the I'm
ion, except Maine and New Hamp-
shire, and our locating here is suffi-
cient proof in my belief that Florida
today offers the agriculturist by far
more opportunities than any state in
the Union

found, on inquiry, that there we're

home town was that the most severe
chastising he ever received was from
his mothers cook. who weighed about
500 pounds He was quite fond, when
z small boy. of going to the slaughter
pens that he might procure all kinds
Of eyes. One evening he returned
home and placed his collection of eyes
on a plate in his mothers ice box. AS
the old cook raised the lid to set a
large pan of milk in she cast her eyes
on the plate. She fell back with the
pan of milk, which emptied into her
face, and made such a racket that it
brought the entire family to the room.
She made it hot for doc" on first
sight. He did not look for eyes the
following day. That is only one Of
many they used to tell on him.
DR.. Boney's father was a wholesale
druggist, with from eight to ten prac-
ticing physicians and surgeons over
the store, where he had every advan-
tage and advice on eyes and other
matters that could not be had in
school.
After looking over the examining
room, where the doctor keeps his in
struments, the writer next found the
dark room, where after making exam
nations with his instruments DR.. Bo-
ney takes his patients and proves up
his tests, to make sure he is right.
We are stealing a march on the doc
tor by mentioning the above honors
that have been shown him, but think
the public should know these things,
simply to show in what esteem he is
held by his fellow practitioners.
In conclusion, we wish to add that
the doctors reception room is one of
the most elaborate and best appoint
ed to be found in this section.
Miss Harriet Moore has been DR.. d.
NJ. Boney's assistant for the past year,
looking after the books and sending
out the prescription work. She has
won host Of friends among the doc
tors patients by her kind and cour-
teous attention.

THE WoMAN's CHRISTIAN TEN
PERANCE UNION

The Ocala W c. T. L. was organized
in 1882 by Mrs. Gwynn, a devoted
Christian worker, then of Sanford,
who spent week il Ocala as the
guest OF Mrs. F. r. Gary. After due
notice in ali the churches, those la
dies favorable to such an organiza-
ton met in the Methodist church, and
having enrolled their names as mem
bers. and taken the pledge, elected
the following officers: President, Mrs.
z. f. Gary; recording secretary, Mrs.
Alfred: corresponding secretary, Mrs.
E. 0. 3. Gary; treasurer, Mrs. w. P.
Trantham. A vice president from
each Of the churches was also elected.
Mrs. Gaffney was elected superin-
rendent of the Band of Hope, to be
organized among the children, which
was done before Mrs. Gwynn left, and
she ordered the literature for their
use. Their meetings were held ev-
cry Friday afternoon. After prelim-
mary instructions, Mrs. Gaffney ar
ranged for them contests for Demon
est medals. Several silver medals
and one or two gold ones were won
in these contests. The name of the
children's band was afterwards chang
ed TO The Loyal Temperance Lee
gion"
Among the members of the w. C. T.
T.. we had one, Mrs. Mccall, who had
followed Mrs. Judge Thompson in
Eillsboro. Ohio. in that memorable
women's temperance crusade. Deem
Der %, 1873, and other enthusiastic
members were Mrs. J. J. Finley, Mrs.
". D, Buckalew. Misses Jessie and
Hammie Blake, Mrs. w. c. Bull, Mrs.
Ogle and Mrs. Loveridge. The last
two are still living in Ocala. Mrs.
Ogle, Mrs. Bull and Mrs. Milton Hood
were each president for short time
following Mrs. Gary.
From the time of organization both
women and children worked faithful
ly, and in the few years following
they did much effective work in clos
ing up the saloons in Marion county.
The w c. T. L. state conventions
have been twice held in Ocala.
Among national workers we had Wis
it's from Mrs. Hunt. Superintendent of
scientific instruction. relative of
Mrs. Thayer. a former resident Of
Ocala, and from Miss Sallie F. Chaplin
Of Charleston, S. c.
Though the Ocala w. C. T. U. was
largely instrumental in those days in
carrying Marion county dry, it was
not able to keep it so. After the de-
feat Of the prohibitionists the tenn
perance forces, through discouraging
circumstances, fell into inocuous de-

Next is to be found the opthalome-

of the eye, or rather to measure the
corneal curvature of the eye, and to
determine the presence or absence of

talked of, but corrected by very few
There is where the people of Florida
get a grand result from the optometry
law, as the registered men do all such
work.
Next comes what is known as the
keratometer. It has only been on the
market a short time, and is a very i'm
portant instrument for the correcting
of an imperfect eye. 1t gives the ex-
act axis and degree of corneal astig-
matism, to be used as a guide for 9th
er tests. The writer has been in many
states and visited all the optometrists,
but has not seen more extensively
equipped suite of offices in any city
than DR.. Boney has for examining and
taking care of defective eye. The
Florida people should speak of DR..
Boney's suite of offices with pride, and
also of the doctor himself, as we find
that he has been given the highest
honor that his fellow optometrists of
the United States could give one of
their profession. He now holds the
of the national examining
board of the United States, to which

 Of course 1t will not be necessary for all to go to the park, as Paine in his ship can be seen from many points of vantage about the city.
 The committee consisting of Mayor E. T. Buckingham. ex-Mayor Henry B. Lee and City Attorney Thomas M. Cullfnan, will decide whether Paine s flight is successful or not.
 It will not be necessary for Bridge early hour. The committee have made arrangements with the Tele- phone Go. to phone to every factory in the city half an hour before the ship rises. With this call, blasts will be sounded on every factory whistle in the harb T will join in the din. This will allow people in the city ample time in wh 4ch to get to the park or to secure @ point of vantage.
