up. None Of the bodies of the ten
sailors who composed the crews of
the barges and who were lost have az

THE ORATOR. OF THE DAY

At the time the first section goes
to press, the Star is not sure that the
Grafton of Congressman Frank Clark
will be delivered, but prints it new
ertheiess, as it is a gem of oratory,
and we would not be willing for our
readers to miss it.
No matter who disagrees with him
politically, no one can deny that
Frank Clark is a distinguished man,
and one VINO has made his way to the
-freHt~by force of talent and personal
magnetism. As speaker, he is not
excelled. His Grafton for today il
most appropriate for southern man
to make. 1t is justice to our own
people and fraternity for all.
Mr.. Clark has been in his home
town, Gainesville, since the first. The
program is for him to come over this
morning in an auto and speak from
the bandstand at 1890.
Ocala will be glad to have Mr.
Clark within her boundaries today
He will be the city's distinguished
guest and every mans honored friend

1.-THE BRAVEsT," ETC.

Among the veterans at Gettys-
burg. says the Savannah News, were
a few elderly ladies who were the
girls of '63" who cared for many
of the wounded and dying fifty years
ago. And they were decided fea-
ture of the reunion on the old battle
field. One of them talking to tall
Virginian who was in Pickett
charge. said this, "Our house was
used as Union and Confederate hos
pital alike. We girls went about
town at night when. the Confederate
and Union soldiers occupied the town
and we never heard disrespectful
word from soldier of either army
Contrast that story with the terrible
statement that came from Mexico a
few days ago. There was knightli-
ness as well as bravery in the hearts
of the men under Lee and Meade.

The bachelor quarters of these
gentlemen have just been completed,
and now will begin the real work

farm. All the work will be done by
the rules of the latest scientific
farming methods. while the machin-
cry for operating will also be of the
latest make.
The owners of the Oak Crest farm
are very enthusiastic over their prop
osition and it's development means a
great deal for Marion county, hence
lit is with no little interest that we
note the early beginning of opera
lions.
Among the guests at the Oak Crest

Turner and w. B. Gautier, who are
at present making the government
tests at the Anthony Farms, looking
to the eradication of the cattle tick.

of demonstrating in a scientific way
the facts that Messrs Turner and
