REJOICING IN MANI

Some friend has sent us a copy of
the Daily Eastern Argus of Portland,
Maine, which shows in a magnified
form the spirit of rejoicing. Stretch
ed across the entire front page are
the words: GLORY Hallelujah!"
Growing roosters of all shapes and
sizes; the American flag with a
Growing rooster perched on top OF
il; a growing rooster on the body of
a dead one; pictures of Wilson and
Marshall; a %tabulation of the returns,
with the proud exclamation: Maine
is Ours, Too!" ornament the front
page.
Those Maine democrats are happy.
1t is the first time that Maine ever
acquitted herself SO well.
The Argus says:
And it is with profound satisfac-
ton that the democrats of Maine find
they have achieved a glorious victory
In their grand old state. Maine, SO
long bound to the republican oligar-
chy, is true at last, and for good. It
has ceased definitely to be a republi-
can state. The majority party of
Maine is the democratic party"

ANOTHER FIRE AT MCINTOSH

Mcintosh had another fire a few
nights ago.. This time the Arredon-
do packing house and all it's contents
we're destroyed. This was M of the
best and most complete packing hous-
es in this part of the state. 1t was
owned by the Arredondo Grove Com
pany and managed by S. H. Gaitskill
of Mcintosh, who was also part own
err. The building and contents were
partly insured, and Mr.. Gaitskill says
the money loss will not be more than
$500 above insurance, but the loss
Of a packing house just at this time
will be heavy, and will not only be
felt by the owners but by others who
have always depended on this house
TO pack and handle their fruit. The
fire was first seen about Ills o'clock
a. m, and the southbound express on
the A. G.. l.. vas deloyed about one
hour before they could pass, the heat
being so intense. Like other fires IL
the community of late, it is a mys-
terry as to how it started. Probably
by crap shooters who had hid them
selves in the packing house to gam
BILE. This is the third fire in the past
thirty days, the other two being the
store of Christian, Dickson Co., and
j. c. Smiths barn.

PRESIDENT-ELECT AND MR.
WILSON HAVE OCALA
RELATIVES

Ocala has the distinction of having
as citizens relatives of both the pres.
id~ent-elect and Mrs. Woodrow Viii
son.
Mrs. E. L. Carney is a distant rela-
tive of the popular president-elect,
whose victory at Tuesdays election
was so sweeping, and Mrs. Edward
Badger is a close cousin of Mrs. Will
son, who was an Axon of Georgia, to
which family Mrs. Badger is very
closely connected. Both these ladies
are of course greatly delighted over
the result of Tuesdays election.
Mr.. w. w. Harriss and Nj. Wilson
were schoolmates and the families
lived on the same street and in the
same block.
Ocala feels that she is very closely
allied to the new president.

DEATH OF MISS EDITH MILLER
Special Cor. Ocala Banner:

Special Cor. Ocala Banner:
Mr.. and Mrs. Miller mourn the
death OF tleir daughter, Edith, who
died October the 2Sth. 1912. This
young girl was nearly sixteen years
old. She possessed a loving and kind
disposition. She was sick only three
short days, being at school on Friday
before she died on Monday. She had
always been in perfect health, and
did not appear to be very sick. She
was sitting in a chair carrying on a
conversation with her mother just a
few minutes before she expired. No
one but God and the angels knows
how hard it was for her two sisters
to come home from school and learn
the awful news-that Edith was dead
not knowing that morning that she
was so near the banks of eternity.
May the members of this family
find consolation in the blessed
thought that she is not dead, but
sleepeth; that she is safely resting
amid the palms of eternal peace, and
that she is in a heaven OF reunion
and recognition promised by Jesus
Christ, our Lord, who, c%onquering
death in that lonely rock-hewn Ju-
dean tomb, won immortal identity
for human souls. And what soothing
comfort it is for us to think, when we
lower the casket of our beloved friend
that in time to come we may again
see her darling face.
All was done for the benefit of
Edith that was possible by her pa
rents, but when the valvular action
is at rest under the stern finger of
death, all the marvellous appliances
of this wonderfully mechanical age
cannot force one ruddy drop through
those great tubes or coax one solitary
throb where God has said, BE still!"
1t makes no difference how many
friends are to come to this neighbor-
hood, we still have a reserved place
in our hearts for this one we have |
loved and lost. 1t certainly is hard
to think that she will be with us no
more at our social parties, hat on
Sunday afternoons we cannot be to-
gether and hear her cheerful laugh,
for indeed she was always cheerful.
1t was always such a pleasure to be
in her company. She had only been
in the south two years, having come
from illinois. She leaves a father,
mother and two sisters. She was laid
to rest in Greenwood cemetery, in
the shadow of the pines" Rev. Cole
of the. Christian church officiat-
The pail bearers were some OF her
dearest friends, Messrs. James Lett
ner, Chas. Murphy, Earl Wilson, AL
bert Huffman, Alonzo and Julian Ray.
The parents and sisters have the
sympathy of their many friends.

THE COMING or THE WILSON
FAMILY TO WASHINGTON

Washington society will experience
it's greatest upheaval in sixteen years
by the change of administration, next
March. The new administration will
remove from official Washington
many distinguished officials, who have
weathered the storm since President
Mckinley went into office, March 4,
1897.
Mr.. James NJ. Wilson of the depart
ment of agriculture, has been the
longest in the presidential cabinet.
His going will remove from the ma
tional capital a picturesque charac-
ter, who will be long remembered.
The secretary of state, Philander c..
Knox, ranks next to Mr.. Wilson in
point of service. Mr.. Knox has long
expressed a desire to retire from pub
lie life. and next season will probably
find him a private citizen, although
his home in X street will continue
10 be one of the social centers. Mrs.
Knox is a, charming hostess, and her
entertainments have been features Of
the social life in each administration
in which she has figured.
The postmaster general, Mr.. Frank
Hitchcock, the bachelor member OF
the cabinet, will also be greatly
mourned by the younger set.
Since her coming to Washington,
during the Roosevelt administration,
Mrs. Meyer, wife of the secretary of
the navy, has been an undisputed
leader in society. Mr.. and Mrs. Mey-
er have the reputation of entertaining
more foreign celebrities while in the
diplomatic service, than any other
Washington hosts.
Not only in the cabinet circles will
the changes be effected, bit in the
congressional changes be effected,
but in congressional as well. The
house, which is already strongly DEM
ocratic, will feel the change less than
the senate, which would have a new
presiding officer whichever way the
political cabinet jumped, because of
the death of Vice President Sherman.
Probably the most radical change
of all where Washington society gen
orally is concerned will be the arrival
of three White House bellies to share
the honors which of late years have
fallen to but one. Great possibilities
open up for the younger SET at the
prospect. The Misses Wilson are cul-
young women, possessed OF
rare intelligence, and their friends are
looking forward to their coming in
March with much pleasure.

MISS HEADS VISIT IN oCALA

Miss Mabel Head of Nashville, Ten
nessee spent Sunday in Ocala, a
guest at the Methodist parsonage.
Miss Head is the general secretary OF
the Woman's Missionary Board of
the Southern Methodist church, and
she is one of the most gifted women
that has ever visited in Ocala. Miss
Head spoke at the Methodist church
at the morning service, giving a very
magnificent missionary talk. She is
a very charming and gifted speaker,
her language being as beautiful as the
thoughts she presented to her hear
ers. For an hour she held the rapt
attention of the large congregation
present, and all who heard her were
delighted to have had this privilege.
In the evening Miss Head again
spoke at the Methodist church in the
place of Evangelist Norton, who was
prevented by illness from reaching
the city. AS an evangelical speaker
Miss Head was just as much at home
as in the missionary field, and her
evening talk was even better than the
one of the morning.
Miss Heads visit to Ocala will no
doubt have very lasting and beneficial
results.

MARION COUNTY FAIR WILL BE

Officers and directors of the Ma
rion County Fair Association are
bending every effort to make the Ma
rion county fair bigger and better
than ever this year. A large num-

liams getting the grounds in shape
and repainting all the buildings. 1t
will be like a spotless town when the
gates are thrown open to the public
on the morning OF November 26.
Prospects were never better for a
successful fair, both from point of at
tendance and number of exhibits. New
entries are being received by the
score and all are striving to win the
blue ribbons in the various classes.
The amusement features are made up
of some of the best attractions in the
country, these in addition to the rae
ing, and should prove very interest
ing. The poultry exhibit will contain
one OI Tic IdI SS0L COilCNI1Oho -
ever known at one time. Chicken fan
ciers from all over the country have
sent entries, and will prove that it is
possible to raise the finest poultry in
the country right here in Marion
county.
Conditions in most instances have
favored the farmer in raising truck
and farm products, and in this line
Marion county farmers will show that
this county abounds in rich and won
derfully productive lands; that here
a farmer may reap a rich reward for
his labor in tilling the soil.
Some of the railroads have offered
excursion rates from various sections
of the state to Ocala during the fair
week.
Provisions are being made to han
die the crowds and a committee has
been appointed to look out for the
welfare of the visitors.-Ocala Cor. to

SCHOOL BOARD BUYS PROPERTY

Taking time by the forelock and
looking to the future needs of the
school interests of the city, the school
board has closed a deal for two blocks
and a half in the second ward.
One block is Immediately south of
the residence of Mrs. NJ. E. Layne's,
and is a very pretty lot, and is pref.
tily located.
The mex is a half block immediate
ly south on the same street, and just
west of Mrs. Jessie Haycraft's pretty
new residence.
The next is the block Immediately
further south and fronting the resi-
dence Of Mr.. J.. R. Moorhead. 1t is
the lot that Mrs. Moorhead, acting for
the Junior Civic League, has had fix
ed up for a playground for the little
tots.
1t is a beautiful lot, and will make
an ideal ocation for a school build
ing.
AL Tx IOlS arc Jill uOuS, IL
will afford Fairgrounds for the schol-
ars.
AS the town grows these lots will
become more and more valuable, and
the school board acted wisely in buy
ing them now.
This property formerly belonged to
the estate of the late Alfred Martin,
and were recently sold by Messrs.
Muncaster and Bell to various and
sundry parties, al lof whom turned a
good interest on their investment in
the sale to the school board.
The price paid for the two and a
half blocks, We are informed, was six
thousand dollars.
