STARS WORK APPRECIATED

Editor Star: AS president of the
committee on advertising the Booker
Washington trip, L most highly appre
ciate your generosity and take this
opportunity to express my sincere
thanks for the same, in behalf of the
colored people at large. Your atti-
tude in this matter places us under
obligations and we assure you that
we shall always endeavor to show this
appreciation in substantial way.
This is one of the many things that
makes the relations in Marion county
between white and colored race so
amicable, and makes Ocala and Mar
ion county the best place in the Unit
ed States for negroes to dwell, and
contributes largely to the high stand
ard of citizenry that prevails among
our race in the county.
Respectfully,
w P Wilson NJ D.

The democratic executive commit
tee of Escambia county announces
that 1t will not allow the name of
Woodrow Wilson as presidential
preference on the primary ticket. Rea-
son, 1t is alleged that Wilson didn't
vote for Bryan In 1908. It seems to the
Star that 1t saw a statement, the other
day, from Governor Wilson to the eff
feet that he did vote for Bryan, and If
he doesn't know. no one else can
know. II Escambia county bars VIII

Judge T. l. Massie, the jurist, so
fou1ly murdered by a gang of outlaws
at Hillville, Va. the other day. was a
college classmate of DR.. D. NJ Smith
Of this city. He occupied a high place
among the members Of the Virginia
bar. and showed his devotion to the
ideals of his profession to the last, re-
fusfng to arm himself in his court
room, altho he knew his life was
threatened. The act of which he was a
victim was one Of the worst in the an
mails Of crime, and 1t is to be hoped
that Virginia will not rest until every
one of the perpetrators is imprison-
ed for life or dead

Prize Steers Not Good Meat.

The meat of more than one prize
steer has proved disappointing in the
eating, though fine to look at. In the
development of the animal for compe-
tition his flesh is sometimes, If not
always, scanned with small veins Of
fat which are dilated by cooking into
tough strings. Hence, the range-fed
steer, not nursed into prominence, az

MIssoURrs HoUN' DAwG SONG

George ". Williams of Waterloo,
ditty, and sends it along 1t was writ
ten by F. L. Wright, and runs;
Down in the Ozarks they're humming
Whistle it, too, as they pass it along.
You can buy all Of his sheep or hawg,
But you can't get him to part with his
dawg.
He'd get you goin around an round
If you make one single kick at his
hound,
Hear the Missourians musical ring
Come from the mountains, and bark to
his sing:
Every time I come to town
The boys keep kickin' my dawg aroun,:
Makes no difference if he is houn',
They gotta quit kickin' my dog aroun'."
Give a Missourian a gun an a pup.
Then there's no trouble in gittin him
up,
If it's a dawg that delivers the goods,
That there Missourian's soon in the
woods.
Squirrels are fallin' an 'possums are
skeered,
Rabbits are hiken' an coons are afear-
Down through the bottoms he ambles
along,
All of the echoes repeating his song:
Every time l come to town
The boys keep kickin' my dawg aroun,
Makes no difference if he is a houn',
They gotta quit kickin' my dog aroun'.'
Take Missourian, mortgage his farm
Threaten the man with a bushel OF
harm;
Steal his potatoes and then steal his
wife,
Keep the poor sucker afraid of his life
You might take his cow or you might
take his hawg,
But nobody can ever git to his daWg
H. Of til he, loo
thing,
You hear the dog howl and Missouriar
sing:
Every time | come to town

They gotta quit kickin' nv dog arOun'. ,

Infant mortality is the most sensf
