THE DAUGHTERS DINNER FOR
THE VETERANS

The dinner given to the veterans by
the members of Dickson Chapter,
United Daughters of the Confederacy,
Tuesday in commemoration of the an
niversary of the birth of Jefferson Da-
Wis, excelled all previous efforts, both
in. excellence and abundance
Through the courtesy and thought
fulness of Mayor John D. Robertson,
Judge Lester Warner and Mr.. Henry
Livingston, about two hundred pounds
of beautiful fish, fresh from the wa
ters of the Withlacoochee river. were
donated to the Daughters for the oc-
casion, and they were cooked under
the direction of Mr.. Louis Lang
We were served with fried fish, dip
ped in meal, mildly Drowned; stewed
fish, broiled fish and a generous pot
of fish-chOWder, the best we ever tast-
ed. 1t was universally agreed that
art of cooking fish, and it was the con-
census of opinion of all present,
among whom were a number of ex-
cellent cooks, that Mr.. Lang could
give lessons to the best chefs in the
land, and the readiness with which
these fish were eaten carried with it
it's own stOry-as it is generally con-
ceded that the proof of the pudding
is in the eating.
But these fish were only incidental
If there had been no fish at all it
would have been a bountiful and most
magnificent dinner There were
meats of all kinds in abundance. and
chicken cooked in many tempting
ways; all kinds of side dishes, Salads
relishes, cakes, pies and buildings. IT.
the appetites of the hungry and the
epicures as we'll There were, per
haps, one or two hundred present, but
there was an abundance to have fed
a regiment.
We regretted that the splendid formI
of chivalry which prevailed on the i'll
fated Titanic was reversed, viz: La
dies first" but as the ladies insisted
that they were the hostesses, the vet
Grams yieldingly submitted, and occu-
pied the seats of honor.
The patriotic members of the chap
ter saw that every plate was bounti- |
fully supplied, and after the separate
courses, as a finale, hot coffee was
served.
There being so much left over after
all had partaken literally of this ex-
cellent spread, it was decided by the
Daughters that it would be distributed |
among the poor and deserving of the
city, and under the leadership of Mrs. |
Ed Carmichael. this suggestion was
well performed
The very informality of the dinner !
gave it variety and distinction. There
were no set orations, but Mrs. D. E.
McIver, president of the chapter, in
presenting Comrade Matchett of Or
ange Springs a cross of honor, repeat |
ed delightfully."- a most appropriate
poem.
Before the dinner was announced !
many participated in an informal mu-
steal program at the home of Mrs.
Moorhead, just opposite the grounds.
The members of the division pro-
vided automobiles for carrying the
veterans to and from the grounds, and |
left nothing undone that could add
in making the day one of precious
memory

GRAND JURY PRESENTMENT

To the Hon. w. S. Bullock, Judge
Circuit Court. Fifth judicial
Circuit, Marion County, Spring
Term 1913:
We, the grand jury impanelled and
sworn for the spring term of. this
district, having completed our labors
beg leave to make this our final pre-
sentiment.
Finances
We have investigated to a certain
extent, the finances of this county
and find (while there are ample re-
Isources) there is large floating in
ldebtedness of this county represent
ed by warrants principally held by
the banks in Ocala on which this
county pays interest at the rate of
eight per cent. We respectfully sug-
gest that this condition of affairs
should not exist and some other
methods be devised to reduce the in
terest rate.
Roads
We observe a great many COM
plants from residents on county
roads, particularly the road to
Blitchton and beyond, and respect
fully call the attention of the county
commissioners to these matters.
County Offices
10 nffinn in the
county is audited monthly except the
office of county clerk and recon-
mend that arrangements be made to
have the office of the county clerk
audited by some competent man and
such reports be made to the county
commissioners monthly-or at such
time as reports OF other officers are
made.
County Buildings
We find that the county jail is IN
good sanitary condition but notice
that the kitchen equipment is made
ouate and recommend this to the at
tention of the county commissioners.
The court house we find in exceed
ingly bad repair.
state Auditing Department
We find that the county offices OF
this county have not been audited IN
the past twelve months. We also
find that although a request was
made for the state auditor to audit
the books of the clerks office of this
county at the time of the transfer OF
said office from the former clerk to
the present incumbent, such request
has not been granted.
We also find that Mr.. Ernest Amos
said state auditor, whose duty 1t is
to attend to such matters has peen
apparently negligent in the discharge
of his duty in this county, and that
failure to report or correct certain
irregularities with reference to taN
certificates. and we the grand jury OF

City Judge Dudly l.. Weber

II p. H., Saturday by a jury in
the district criminal court, which
also found him not guilty of en-
bezlement and recommended
him to the mercy of the court.
The virdict was unanimous. but
this result was only achieved af-
ter at least two dozen successive
ballots during which three or
four jurymen did not vote wait
ing to be convinced by the argu-
ments of their fellow jurors.
Weber accepted the result
with a smile and declined to
comment upon the case. He
later showed evidence of subdued
griet, however. Attorney Wall,
Ieadi,l. counsel for the defense,
announced just after the We. dict
had been rendered that the de-
tense would ask for a new trial.
Should this be refused an app.H
will be taken.
The verdict was unexpected.

Amite, for a copy of the Daily
Citizen which was published in
Vicksburg. Miss, on July End,
1863-and printed on wall paper,
the only material available at
that time while the city was un-
der siege.
Thissheet is full of interesting
news of the events of the Civil
War which we're happening just
at that time, and the confederate
view of the situation. especially
Of the impossibility,of the Feb
erals capturing Vicksburg, and
the plthy sayings of a witty
editor. make almost humorous

who is able to separate the s.mere
chronicling of events FROM the
pathos which usually blinds us
