UNWILLING AT OXFORD

Another monument was added
Sunday to the thousands which from
Maine to California dot the Union
with memorials to the Woodmen of
the World.
About 1 p. m, six autos, loaded
with members of the order left the
Woodmen hall in Ocala, and after a
run of a little more than an hour ar
rived at the Oxford cemetery. Here
they. met many relatives of the de-
ceased and with their usual simple
but beautiful and impressive cere-
mony dedicated the monument to
their departed brother and friend.
Thomas A. Mitchell was brought
up in the beautiful country along the
Marion and Sumter county line,
growing to young manhood and
winning the love and respect of the
neighbors who gathered to do him
the last sad honor Sunday. Some
years ago, he came to Ocala and en-
tered one of our stores as a clerk
During his life here he SO conducted
himself as to win the confidence and
good will necessary for all who enter
the great order of Woodmen. He
became a member of Fort King
Camp, and was a faithful friend and
worker among his brethren for the
remainder of his days. Some years
I, %1 To n
Bradentown, where death claimed
him last January in the 38th year of
his age. His sorrowing wife brought
the body home for its final rest in
the pretty cemetery at Oxford.
Present at the ceremony Sunday
were Sovereign Mitchel's wife and
mother and other relatives, and many
sympathizing friends. The Ocala
Woodmen, joined by many members
of the order who live at or near Ok
ford, stood in wedge-shaped forma-
ton around the grave, while the
consul commander, clerk and banker
led the services and unveiled the
monument, a column of white stone
of beautiful design. The last honors
given, the Woodmen passed around
the grave, each laying thereon his
tribute of cedar sprig, and then
passed on, leaving their brother to
wait the reunion in the forest where
the leaves never fade.

CALfFoRNfANs PLEASED


A few day since Chas H. Slough
ton, agent of the Southern Pacific
railroad at Lone Pine, InyO county,
Cal, family and sister, spent several
days in Ocala.
In conversation with Mr.. Slough
ton he said that after passing thru
several states from California here
and seeing such unfayorable cOndi-
tions in many localities, he was in
the From Missouri class, show me"
when he reached here he was shown.
Secretary Rooney of the Board of
Trade was advised several days in
advance that the party was coming
to visit Ocala. On their arrival, it
was impossible for him TO get away
and he requested Mr.. J. G. Kichline
to get an automobile and show them
| the sights.
Every point of interest in this
county was seen, Anthony, Lowell,
Summerfeld, Lake Weir, Burbank,
Silver Springs and the Oklawaha
river.
When they arrived at Silver
Springs, which has recently been TAX
en- into the city limits of Ocala, they
were simply astounded-they be-
Ilieved that nothing in the world
could equal Avalon at Catalina IS
land, Cal, in grandeur and magnifi-
cence-but they admitted that Sill
yer Springs beat anything they had
seen in their lives.
They were shown growing corn, to-
matoes, cantaloupes and Watermelons
all yielding bountiful harvests at
this time without irrigation, and in
many cases without fertilizer. They
also visited orange and grapefruit
groves well loaded with new fruit.
When they arrived at Marion
County Farms it was dinner time
Fifty or more convicts were at din,
ner and later they returned to their
work Mr.. Stoughton said it was one
of the best ways he had ever. seen
convicts handled, especially where
they were building the highways.
Fessenden Academy was visited
and Prof. Wiley showed them every
courtesy, and Mr.. and Mrs. Slough
ton were both loud in their praise:
) of the way colored boys and girl:
were being taught along scientific
and agricultural lines.
After visiting all of the principa
} points of interest, Mr.. Stoughton eX
!, pressed himself as being we'll pleased
with what he had seen in Marion
county and we all know that it means
J much for Californian to admit tina
: there is anything good outside of hi
, own state. However he proved tina
: he meant what he said by leaving il
one of our banks considerable of tn
= "long green" as first payment ol
several investments he made whfl
= here.
, Inasmuch as Mr.. Stoughton is
= member of several railway orders
l and having many friends in Califor
MIA, he will be a big help to Mariol
county. In fact, in his interview
with Secretary Rooney he stated tina
many of his friends were waiting hi
report on conditions in Florida
/ which would determine their becom
; ing investors. The visit of these PEG
pie at this time was opportune; the
l were thoroughly convinced what ca
be accomplished in Marion county an
: that without irrigation. No doub
good results will follow. Anothe
; demonstration of what can be &C
complished through your Board o
l Trade.

The Star is much obliged to Editor
Marcy B. Darnall of the publicly
committee of the Florida House of
Representative for the compact and
comprehensive bulletin he has sent
out every week for the last few
weeks of the work of the House. 1t
is very true that the same informa-
ton is set forth sooner and at great
er length by the correspondents of
the larger papers, but between
amendments and debates, and send
ing bills back and forth between the
House and Senate, even a newspaper
man. is likely to lose track of some
measures, so the final summing up of
the bulletin is of much advantage.
The Star hopes thai not only the
House but the Senate of future legis-
latures will follow the practice of is
suing bulletins of measures definitely
passed upon once or twice each week

Pellagra, the mysterious skin dis
ease prevalent in semi-tropical eli
mates and which has baffied medical
authorities for nearly 200 years, is
caused by infected water, according
to Professors Scala and .Alessandri of
the Institute of Hygiene in Rome.
The scourge has long been ascribed
to the consumption of bad corn, but
according to the professors an
nouncement they have found that in
the districts of Italy where the dis
ease is most prevalent, the water is
solution. The professors declare that
the theory of the maize ptomaine is
altogether groundless.

Colonel Roosevelt came out of his
libel suit with flying colors. Relia
BILE men who knew him gave uncon
trovertible testimony to his sobriety
His traducer acknowledged his error
and then Mr.. Roosevelt, by waving
damages, showed he was not insti
gated by either vindictive or mer
menary spirit. 1t is to be hoped tina
the incident will put a check on othel
newspapers who heap personal abuse
on public men with no reason excep
partisan hatred.

The Star does not see any justi-
ffcation for the criticism of the Flor
ida House of Representative that ap-
pears so freely in some papers. The
House has done some things it should
not have done, and left undone some
things it should have done, but it has
made as good a record as any of its
predecessors, and a much better re-
cord than some. 1t has been decid-
edly hostile to railroad and corpora
ton influence, and that is the reason
for most of the abuse showered on it.

1t was the Stars opinion during
the last two years of the Taft admin
at lower point of efficiency than il
had been for a quarter of a century
and that opinion is confirmed by the
report of a special investigation
made at the direction of Postmaster
General Burleson. Former Postmas;
for General Hitchcock claimed great
economy and increased efficiency
but it seems that the showing for the
former was attained by manipulation
of accounts, while of the latter the
public saw nothing but blue-laW reg
ulation and interference with their
personal affairs.

That is a horrible story Charlie
Jones tells about cutting up E. o.
Painters body at the order of the in
surance companies. There is nothing
about Ed. Painters death to suggest
suicide and all his friends knew he
was one of the last men in the world
to commit such an act. And how his
wife and daughter must have 'shud-
dered and wept when they learned of
the indecent dissertation of his body.
Not very good advertisement of the
insurance companies, that one day
they will try to induce man to take
out more insurance, and the next cut
his body to pieces searching for an
excuse to avoid -ying it. Wives and

such proportions that it became nee
.essary to purchase horse and buggy
in which to travel the territory. Mr..
Y. E. Smith, a man of many years
experience in the business, is the

excellent machines that he has placed

1t is proposed to float a white flag,
emblematic of purity, with a red
star of Bethlehem from the spire of
every church. How long would the
emblem of religion keep it's purity
and brightness in the atmosphere of
an American town?-Times-U
1t would keep it in an American
town longer than in a town of any
other nation. The big city churches
are accused of being mostly fashiona-
BILE clubs, but the spirit of devotion
and clean living is stronger in the
shadow of the spires of the town and
village and country houses of wor-
ship than anywhere else on the globe.
