the money they could find, also a fine
cold watch, which Mr. Washburn priz-

and shoes in the dining room, and
made their escape AS the next day
was Sunday it was impossible for Mr..
Washburn to procure another pair of
shoes, so he was an involuntary pris-

be read carefully by every club wo-
man in Florida. A copy of this pam

cessible to all interested
In a personal letter Miss Frances
Anderson of the legislative commit
tee begs that we disseminate this in

impress every clab woman with the
desperate need of this institution,
and through them reach the men and
the legislators, in whose hands the
question of an increased appropriation
will rest at the next session of the

There were seven tables placed in

Mr. S. H. Gaitskill, prominent stock
raiser, farmer, orange grower, boost

Tuesday visitor. He was wearing the
same optimistic glasses that he
brought with him from Kentucky and
has never discarded Whether view
ing things at short or long range they
are always bordered around with a
tinge of brightness, but he was a lit
tie disappointed because the weekly
papers last week did not tell who
were elected county commissioners
and constables for the several dis
tricts, but when he heard the explana-
ton for it, he saw how it was and
was satisfied He had read: "Put
Yourself in His Place"
Messrs. H. G. Bailey and Arthur s.
Partridge of st. Louis, prominently
connected with the Anthony Farms,
are in Ocala, and have been out to
the farm to see it in its early oper-
ations. To say that they are well
pleased is putting it mildly. The
successful operation of this farm is
doing lots of good for our county.
Were it a government experiment sta
tion the lessons it furnishes could not
be more salutary nor more general
good could flow from it.
