THE EDITORS SONG

How dear to my heart is the steady
subscriber
Who pays in advance at the birth
of each year.
Who lays down his money, and offers
it gladly,
And casts round the office a halo
of cheer!
Who never says, stop it; l cannot
afford it,"
Oh, I'm getting more papers than
I can read!"
But always says, "Send it; the family
all like it
In fact, we think it a household
need!"
How welcome he is when he steps in
the Sanctumi
How he makes our hearts throb!
How he makes our eyes dance!
We outwardly thank him-we inward
ly bless him
The steady subscriber who pays in
advance.
How sorely we're tried by the tardy
subscriber
Who pays (if at alb when months
overdue;
Who grumbles because he gets re
minder,"
And fires back a postal that makes
us feel blue.
The tardy subscriber is a sensitive
brother,
The humbly made Statement" he
spurns as dun"
He'll pay when it suits him, he tartly
informs us,
And hints rather broadly about a
shotgun.
So we're singing the praises of the
steady subscriber
Who gives the poor editor sort of
a chance
The smiling subscriber, the honest
subscriber,
The steady subscriber who pays
in adVnace.

Reddick, Fla, June IL, 1912.
To the Ocala Banner and Voters OF
the 9Th Commissioners District:
Uncle" Alfred Aver says he thinks
it is right and proper for the defeat
ed candidates to take off their hats,
make polite bow and thank the PEG.
pie for all courtesies and support
shown them in the primaries.
think so, too; so off comes my hat,
and here is my bow, with many
thanks to everybody all over the dis
trict for the support given me. Es-
pecially do / feel grateful to McIn-
tosh and Reddick, the precincts in
which l have my home and where !
am known best, for almost a unani-
nous vote, for which | am truly
proud. But there is one thing about
the primaries l just can't understand,
and want to ask the question: Why
is it that the best men get beat? i
will say, however, that this district
made no mistake in electing Mr..
Luffman. He is a first class man and
as good a friend as / have. I think
Mr.. Luffman should have. the posi-
ton not less than two terms-four
years-as it will take him two years
to get started, as / think, under pres
ent conditions, and all good people
should cooperate with him all over
the district. l promise him that he
shall have every assistance can pos
sibly render him, and especially on
any matters pertaining to any affairs
in this part of the district, and want
him to feel perfectly easy and free to
call upon or write me any time he
thinks it will be of benefit, and l shall
certainly give him any information OF
suggestion, without the asking, when
Ii deem that it will be of benefit, and
knowing that it win be received in
the right spirit.
Yours truly,

IN MEMORIAM

To the Editor Ocala Banner:
Permit one who knew her well tc
drop one blossom upon the mound sc
recently made in the church-yard al
Cedar Grove.
1t was my happy privilege to know
Inez Ross from childhood, and the
dearest memory of her was the last
time we talked together, when to me
she never seemed sweeter Was it
because she was so near the heav-
emily portals and the light of heaven
was thrown about her?
The deceased was porn at Cater,
Fla, in 1885, and spent most of her
life near the home of her birth
In February, 1909, she gave her
young life into the keeping of E. "
Rayburn, with whom she walked
hand in hand for three happy years,
bringing joy and brightness to him
who worshipped at her wifely shrine
A few months before her marriage
she united with the church at Cedar
Grove, and it was ever her ambition
to emulate the Master in deeds OF
love and kindness. God called her,
and as the day was closing on the
31st of May her gentle spirit took its
flight to the realms where there is
no more suffering and pain. All that
physicians skill and loving hands
could do was done to nurse her back
to health and to those who loved her
SO dearly, but of no avail.
1t is not ours to know why this
young life was closed when the morn.
ing of life looked so bright, and the
hearts Of dear ones were breaking to
have her leave them. When we are
blinded with tears and crushed with
sorrow. there comes one distant beam
lighting the darkened path:
Let us who are sad take heart
again,
We are not alone in our hour of pain !;
Our Father stoops from his throne
above,
To soothe and quiet us with his love. .
ONE WHO LOVED HER.

DIVORCES
Ocala, Fla. June II, 1911.

Ocala, Fla, June u, 1912.
To the Clerks of the Circuit Court for
the Fifth Circuit:
Conference.-The number of divorc-
es that are now being presented to
me is a menace to society. Many in
stances in which the service of pro-
cess is had by accepting service, or
an answer is filed where the bill
valves oath to the answer, admitting
the allegations of the bill 1t has
also reached me that in some cases
both parties have contributed to the
cost of the proceedings, attorneys fee
included.
Ny practice in the future will be
that, wherever the service has oeen
accepted, or an answer is filed admit
ting the allegations of the bill, such
act will be considered as prima facie
collusive.
| shall appoint one general master
in chancery in each county in the cir
cult and the witnesses will be requir-
ed to appear before him and take the
proof before him. In addition to the
examination by the solicitor for the
complainant, the master will be re-
quired to make further examination
of the witnesses, as to charges for
the divorce, and the record shall also
show this examination.
That ex parte affidavits will not be
considered as sufficient proof for
granting a divorce. Where the gener-
al master is interested, or is attorney
for either party, special master will
be appointed with the same require
ments as to the examination of wit
nesses.
Please notify the members of your
bar to this effect
Yours very truly,
