SWEET POTATOES

We haven't eaten good sweet potato
one that deserved the hOnored and
affectionateIy remembered name-in at
least five years. We haven't the faint
est idea why it Is: whether they don't
bring them to Tampa any more.
whether our grocer doesn't buy them,
or whether the peddler's wagons that
we hail on the streets never get
chance TO load up with them or sell
out before they reach Us, but certain it
IS that the oId-fashiOned sweet pOta-
toes that nanny used to bake" are
now but a faint and fast vanishing
memory-Tampa Times.
We have known for some time that
something was the matter with the
Times man, and have just found out
what Is IT, If he will leave his perch
on the Times tripod some Saturday at
ternoon, and come up to Ocala on sun
nyjim, we will fill him so full Of red
meated sweet potatoes that optimistic
ideas will again fill his mind, as Of
yore. Likewise. il the train Is on
time, we will arrange to have a nice
little boxing bout pulled off for his spe-
ciaI amusement at the gymnasium.
During Sunday. he can have potatoes,
fried. candied and baked, go to church
and Sunday school, see Silver Springs
and be ducked by the mermaids in
Lake Weir sunday afternoon. Then he
can take the Scaboard sleeper and
wake up in Tampa Monday morning,
ready with a mind full OF peace and
virtue for his weeks work.

GADSON KNOWS HOW
TO FIND THE GOODS

Frank GadsOn, proprietor of the
Ocala Bazaar, has returned from his
semi-annual purchasing trip to New
York City. Frank says he bought
over $1,000 worth of new goods for the
store, many of them having already ar
rived and it is keeping every one in
the store busy getting the goods in
and checked up. Frank has been go
ing to New York City to buy goods for
his store and its predecessor, the old
Commercial and Bazaar Co, at least
twice a year for nearly thirty years.
and surely if one learns them, he
knows the ropes when it comes to find
ing and securing bargains for his GUS
toners. Frank is anticipating a fine
fall and winters business and has
bought very heavily in all lines for his
store, especially of dry goods, notions,
clothing and shoes and hats for all,
both men, women and children.

SO far as numbers are concerned,
the Bull Moose is not very hefty in
Florida. 1t is however attracting con-
siderable attention, as may be seen by
the space it takes up in print, and if it
keeps at work the moral effect will be
good. The democrats of this state
will never care a continental condemn
for the old republican party as now
constituted and in consequence are
growing politically fat and lazy in
many localities. AS a rule, not two
ffths of the democratic voters go to
the polls in the general election. OPP

out of this apathy would be healthy

week. has been brought to light thru
an alimony suit in a Brooklyn, y. Y,
court. Mrs. Irene Shredder, Of Staten
Island. told in her appeal how she ran
her husbands home successfully dur
ing thirty-five weeks for $50. That
was hard enough to do, she adds, but
she suggests her spouse reached the
limit at their parting when he told her
that she was no wife for a poor man.

Col. r. i. Lloyd Of Inverness is com
ing in for considerable severe crit
icism from the state press because he
has joined the third party and made
himself prominent in it's support at
Chicago. Many condemn him the more
severely because he is a Confederate
veteran, and therefore, they say, dOu-
bly, bound to the democratic party. 1t
seems to the Star that if there has
been a time in the last forty years that
patriotic and progressive man could
earnestly and consistently support the
democratic party, it is right now. How
ever, if Colonel Lloyd sees fit in the
hour Of almost assured victory to
leave the party he has stood by in de-
feat he is only exercising his right as
a citizen, and one of the things the
Confederate soldier fought for was in
dependence of opinion.
