GLOBES SALE WAS GREAT

Mr.. JOS. MaleVer, proprietor of the
Globe, and all of his big force of clerks
are very much elated over the success
of the great sale at the store. The
sale opened yesterday morning,and the
force could not wait on all the custo
mers who came in, and the cash sales
at the close of the day, and cash talks,
showed that the sale for the opening
day had been the best and more goods
were sold than on any day during all
of the sales that he has ever put on
since he has been in business inOcala.
Mr.. Malever has a big store filled
with good merchandise and he is offer
ing real bargains and the sale has
been very extensively advertised, he
is going to have all that his force Of
clerks can do all through the sale.
Two page ads were run in both the
Daily and Weekly Star and ten thou
sand huge heralds were distributed all
over the county by Mr.. NJ. Rathauser,
the manager of the sale, and a perfect
stream of customers has been brought
to the store by this effective advertis-
ing campaign.
Today's business has been almost
as good as the opening day at the sale,
and the clerks have had all they could
do today also
The proprietor of the Globe stands
ready to back every statement as to
price and quality made in the advertis-
ing matter and promises every GUS
toner a square deal and a saving Of
many dollars on their purchases.

FLORIDA CANNING FACTORIES

The following article from that well
edited and influential paper, the Pensa-
cola Journal, is one of the results of
the publicity campaign carried on by
the Ocala Board of Trade:
Florida is rapidly coming into her
own and in no way is this being
brought about more surely than in the
establishment of canning factories in
all parts of the state
News items in the state papers tell
of the building of a large cannery at
Ocala, in Marion county, by Atlanta
capitalists. The Ocala proposition is
to be an all the year around affair and
maintain it's payroll for twelve months
in the year. The special product of
this cannery will be sweet potatoes
and the owners are now contracting
for the purchase of all the sweet po-
tatoes they can get and stand ready to
buy all the potatoes Marion county can
produce. The cannery will also use
other vegetables in season and will
take care Of the by-products.
There is nothing novel IN this prop
osition. These canneries are going up
all over the state. but this one is men
OF the largest.
Canning sweet potatoes has long
been known as a good way to preserve
this useful product, but the business
on a large scale for commercial pur-
poses is comparatively a new enter
prise. But it is a good one and one
that has no limitations.
Florida grows the best sweet pota-
toes on this continent and they may
be grown here at less cost than any
where else.
The country around Pensacola is
specially adapted to potato growing
and the raising and canning Of this
product here, on large scale, seems
to be one of the enterprises that may
be developed in the near future.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT

Our Heavenly Father who doeth all
things well, even when he sees best to
aff1ict his children, has been pleased in
his wisdom and love to call home our
neighbor, friend and Sunday school
classmate, Walter Edward Young, by
the translating touch of what we call
death, and by so doing has brought
sorrow to his home. to the neighbor-
hood and to this Sunday school In his
taking away we the class to which he
belonged, and in attendance on the
sessions of which he was so faithful
and regular, feel that we have met
with a great loss as well as a deep
sorrow. The wider circle of the school
will also miss his pleasant greetings
of friendship and cheerful countenance.
We feel that the whole community
has lost a friend who was helpful by
his upright life and consistent charac-
ter 1t is rather unusual but very re-
freshing to have among Us a young
man of such noble character and
who was held in such high esteem by
all. young and old. and while we shall
no longer have his bodily presence
with us yet We believe that although
dead he shall still speak to us through
the persistent influence of his memory
so fragrant with the sweetness of a
pure character, and it is our prayer
that the life of each one of US who re-
mains may be the better because we
have known Walter and have for an
example his upright life. We as a class
and as a school would place on record
in this manner the esteem of our class
mate and fellow member of this Sun
day school and we would assure the
father, mother, brother and
sisters that our sympathy and pray
ers shall go out for them We hope
that each of us will so live that We
can meet him in the great beyond.

UNDERWOOD PROTESTS TOO OFTEN

The following from Claude LEngle's
Washington letter is another of those
hits that the independent and out
spoken Florida congressman is con-
stantly making:
Like Leader Mann, Majority Leader
Oscar Underwood is rich. He also has
the facts, which he can have gathered
and presented to him in tabloid shape.
He talks by the book when he gets on
his feet He can make himself heard
all right, but the impression upon the
ears in his audience is rot pleasing. He
has a harsh rasping voice and such a
elaboration of manner as to amount
almost to a drawL
He has and doubtless deserves the
reputation of being fair, but like the
Queen in Hamlet. he mentions his de-
sire to be fair too often. Everybody
remembers what Hamlet replied to
one of those speeches his mother made
touching upon her affection for the
poisoned king, Hamlet got tired of
listening to it and turning those sor-
Towful eyes upon her, said: oh
woman, thou dOst protest too much
AS l say, no one has said this about
Underwood yet, so I will say it, lest ii
may be left unsaid.
He makes a very ingenious argu-
ment when he is in a corner in a de-
bate, and Mann had him in a corner
when Underwood rose to a point OF
order on Mr.. Manns amendment to the
tariff bill creating a tariff commission
Underwood said it was not "germaine,'
but after listening to the arguments OF
the three leaders and to the decision OF
Speaker Clark, I believe it was ger
maine. But, like the good democrat
that 1 am, upon the appeal from the
decision of the chair, which sustained
the Underwood joint of order, 1 voted
the democratic ticket, which same
have done by main strength and
awkwardness" and oftimes shall d.
again.
