Mr. Charles S. Cullen, who spent
seventeen weeks in the state of
Washington, having his headquarters
at Spokane, is very much pleased
with that country. He says that the
climate is fine, the lands are rich and
the people pushing and enterprising.
Immigrants are fiocking in from all
directions, and that it is destined to
become wealthy and populous. Mr.
Cullen was there in quest of certain
things, and says that he got what he
went for, and the radiant smile that
played over his features when saying
it leads us to believe that it was
something worth going for. While
there he saw Mr.. Billingsley, who
was pushing his box-head invention.

from a three months visit at Chau-

proved in health and spent a most
delightful summer. The weather was
so cool that Mr.. Borland wore a

He says that at Chautaqua is most
pleasant place to spend ones time,
as there is always something doing.
One can hear so many great lectures,
so many musical attractions, SO many
famous divines, authors and readers.

says, are not more pleasant, however,
than the other nine months in Flor

EDATH OF r. c. RIDGE

1t is with great sorrow that We re-
port the death of Richard c. Ridge of
Belleview, on September %, 1911. Mr..
Ridge was born in Covington, Ind,
August %, 1S45, and married an Indi-
ana girl at Centerville, Iowa, in 1870.
They moved to Belleview in 1884,
where they have since resided. Mr..
Ridge was an earnest Christian and
was a member of the NJ. E. church
of Belleview. The w. C. T. U. has
lost one of its most interested and
Jealous honorary members, as he
could always be depended upon to
help in any good work land was es-
pecially interested in the cause of
prohibition. For years he has been
chairman of the city council, and has
always held some responsible posi-
ton for the public.
Rev. Wenrich preached the funeral
sermon, and we think we never heard
such high and heartfelt tribute paid
to any man as was spoken of our late
friend. The church was crowded
with friends who brought many floral
offerings to show the honor and re-
spect in which he was held.
Mr.. Ridge has been failing in health
for year, and was under the care of
Dr. A. L. Iz1ar. He is survived by
his widow and one daughter, Mrs. o..
NJ Gale, who lived near her parents,
and has been untiring in her efforts
to help and cheer them. One little
son was buried in Kansas.
Mrs. Ridge has been wonderfully
sustained during her time of trial,
and never thought of it as a trial,
but as a labor of love, and nothing
was left undone that love could sug-
gest.
The surviving members of the FAM
lily have the loving sympathy of their
host of friends. G. d. w.

THE millinery OPENINGS
OCALA
From Wednesdays Daily.

l. AOAl w OOACSQOy . Do14ys
There was such a large number of
feminine shoppers on the streets yes
terday that it did not take much eff
fort to surmise that it was the day
for the fall and winter millinery
openings in this city. Throughout
the day large crowds of purchasers
and spectators found their way into
the establishments of Mrs. NJ. A. Bos-
tick, Miss Mary Affleck, Mesdames
Haycraft & DeCamp, and G. A. Nash.
All of these firms had on display
many of the newest and most fash
ionable of this seasons models. Some
of the new shapes are very peculiar,
and it will take few weeks to be-
come used to some of the most ex-
IRENE of the new models, but Ocala' s
women are always dressed in the lat
est style, so they will of course at
once adopt the new style chapeaus.
There were quite a good many pur-
pie hats shown at yesterdays open
ings, as we'll as many in navy blue,
black and white, and, in fact, hats of
almost every color, shade, shape and
style.
The old-fashioned poke-bonnet
shape seems to be finding much favor
this season, and some of them are
very fetching and attractive. Then
some of the models have extremely
tall crowns with very narrow rims,
and some with no rim at all. 1t would
be impossible for us to describe the
hats separately and infinitely, as they
have to be seen to be appreciated.
All of our milliners and their as
sistants are most courteous in wait
ing on their customers, and are doing
everything to please those who visit
their establishments. The openings
will be continued through today, and
all are cordially invited to vail at any
of these establishments any time to-
day or throughout the season, and
they all can find something TO suit
their individual tastes.

Senator and His Apples.

| The Lorimer investigators are TIC be
pardoned their fling of humor over Ex-
senator Hopkins barrel of app es,
he says he used as bait for legislative
votes when he was defeated by Lori
mer and other kinds of barrels, SAYS
the Rockford Star.
What gould be more bucolic aud
simple than to offer a legislator, who
would vote for Lorimer, bright red
apple. Admit that it might have been
raised in the Bitter Root, in western
New York. in the famous Yakima val
ley or in the orchards of Hood river.
that it was the most luscious of all
fruits, the pride of the nation and the
prize of the scientific world. Yet, ad
nit it all and still the wonder grows
One can see a grain of possibility IN
reducing the apple to cider and going
forth as a tempter to the legislator on
whom party ties rested lightly, but TO
hold out a simple apple is SO guileles5
bland as to deserve place in nursery
annals
The poets tell us of apples of gold in
pictures OF silver"
But perish such a thought. Senator
Hopkins kept close to nature.
He gave the rich fruit right frcm
the barrel while the Lorimer crow1
adopted the poetical translation.
There is not so much in the ex-sen&-
tors career that can be remembered
with credit that this incident will be
soon forgotten.
While it is a sad blow at the apple
industry At supplies a bit of experience
for succeeding politicians that will pc
memorable as it is historical
Once the apple stood as the most
historical temptation; now it is proven
to be "a lemon in the garden of legisla-
tive favor.

Thieves used to go about their bust

"That is my idea," admitted the de-
tective modestly.
And q very clever theory, too" ad-
mitted Raddason genially. Nov, Mr..
Fem, If you have no objection just
give me an outline of how you be-
neve the robbery was accomplished"
"It's soon explained. sir. The crook

chine, came down and got the jewels,
skipped up through the skylight and
into his flying machine and so away"
my dear fellow. that's a pretty
theory, but how many crooks would
risk discovery by turning of job in
such q conspicuous thing as an aero
plane? How many men of that class
could afford to even hire one of the
machines, much less find a mechani-
clan to operate 1t for him. You're
dreaming. Fem. Five-ten years from

From cellars to kitchens and serv-
ants quarters, ali through the draw

peering into the most unsuspected
places, went Detective Fem.
1t was a battling case. Detective
Fem admitted that to himself as he
sat on the side of the bankers bed to
rest from his iabors. II he could dis
cover the thief he would receive the
$1,000 reward. and that $1,000 would
