The Humble Hero.

He was not of the royal blood.
He did not seem to know his worth,
But in our common brotherhood
He was hero of the earth.
God gave him grace to work and walt
And strength and patience to endure
And faith and hope which, soon or late.
A crown or triumph would insure.
He looked not to the heights for fame
Nor walked where wild ambition leads.
Content on earth to wreathe his name
With kind and helpful little deeds
The world seemed brighter for his nile.
And hearts were glad to have him near
Broadening LIES nobler scope the while
He moved within his humble sphere

A TRIBUTE OF LOVE

On the afternoon of March 18th, aft
er a sudden illness of only a few
hours, an All-Wise Father called from
our midst the beloved wife of Mr.. r.
c.. Douglass of this place
The death of one SO universally low
ed, so endeared to all by her many
eXcellencies of character, has caused
deepest sorrow to all Citra.
Mrs. Richard Douglass, eldest child
of the late Mr.. H. t. Wartmann of
this place, was born at Harrisonburg,
Virginia; came to Florida in her ear
ly married life, and with her husband
was closely identified with the growth
of the community.
Mrs. Douglass was always of fragile
constitution, but possessed an intel
lect of unusual strength and brill
lance She was a woman of broad
culture, and inherited from her gifted
father a fine literary taste, which had
been developed by life of study and
reading. Though weak in body, we
depended upon her for much in our
social and church circles, and con-
slant demands were made upon her
well-stored mind her talents many
and varied and of these she gave with
a willingness and a modesty all her
own, proving an inspiration to all
with all whom she mingled.
1t is not for her mental qualfica-
tions that she will be best loved and
remembered, however, but for the
beauty and agentleness of her charac-
ter. Wherever there was poverty,
sickness or sorrow, her ministrations
would be felt.
The church of which she was con-
sistent member from early childhood
was the dear object of her love, and
its services were her highest joy. She
labored faithfully in its every depart
ment of work, was constant until the
message came: ut is enough; come
up higher
The funeral services were conduct
ed from the Methodist church. She
leaves a loving husband, sister, two
brothers, a niece, a nephew and host
of loving friends whose hearts will
ache for "a touch of the vanished
hand. and the sound of a voice that
is still"

BELLEVIEW HAS BARBECUE

Last Friday Belleview had a demon
stration of it's progressiyeness. For
some days previous the people had
advertised that they would hold a
barbecue and auction sale of town
lots, and promptly at 10 o'clock the
sale started For an hour previous to
the starting of the sale and through
out the day the large crowds were
kept in happy frame of mind by the
music of the Summerfeld band, and
by the auctioneer, who at times was
quite witty.
The sale lasted until nearly four
o'clock in the afternoon, and every lot
in the tract was disposed Of at a good
price The buyers were both home
people and strangers, the strangers
buying to build winter homes.
At noon the auctioneer, hoarse of
voice and tired of body, and with a
gripping of the inner man, called a
halt in the sale and babe everybody
present to adjourn to the tables espe-
cially erected for the occasion, and
there partake of the hospitality of the
citizens of Belleview. Everybody
made a ruch for the tables and bench
es, and soon a hungry crowd was en-
joying a dinner of savory barbecued
beef and pork, with side dishes OF
such eatables as they brought them
selves. Mr.. o. NJ. Gale, who donated
the beef and pork, also the ladies and
gentlemen who assisted him, deserve
much credit for their share in the sue
cess of the affair.
After everybody had been we'll sat
isfed, the auction proceeded again,
and continued until every lot was dis
posed of, except the last three; these
were then given as a prize, and lit
tie Miss Gwendolyn Merrill of Belle
view was the lucky winner.
This ended the days frolic, and
those present expressed satisfaction
and started for their homes. Every
body was especially pleased with the
splendid music given by the Summer
field concert band.-Summerfield

ENLARGEMENT OF THE FIELD OF
THE PARCEL POST

Information sent out from Washing
ton gives the details of one Of the
most radical features proposed for the
parcel post service, which will be in
augurated on July l, under an order
signed recently by Postmaster Gener
al Hitchcock This feature will be
the &c. o. D." regulation.
The order states that a parcel bear
ing the required amount of parcel post
stamps may be sent anywhere in the
country, and the amount due from
the purchaser will be collected and re-
mitted by the postoffice department.
/ The parcel must show the amount
! due from the addressee, and the col
! lection will be made if the amount is
not above $100. The fee will be 10c.,
to be affixed by the sender in parcel
post stamps. This will also insure
the parcel to an amount not to exceed
| $50.
This new feature is the most far
reaching section Of the new system,
and opens wide field to fruit and
produce shippers, which, it is believ-
ed, will be widely utilized. 1t is the
heaviest blow at the express compan-
les which has ever been made by the
government. Properly pushed, it will
wipe out a large block of the bust
ness now successfully controlled by
the express companies-matter which
it is said has proven one of the most
profitable classes handled by the ex-
press people. Growers of fancy fruit
can now get into the grower to CON
sumner" trade in short order.
A grower in any part Of the coun-
try may now successfully advertise
his products, and by shipping in pack
ages of II pounds and under, develop
a trade exclusively his own.
There is only one feature about the
new regulation which arouses curl
osity. There is no provision in the
new ruling for the package in case
the addressee refuses to pay the c.
o. d. charges. Postmasters may have
to open a market stall on the side to
dispose of the refused packages of
perishable matter to accumulate for
a monthly "old boss sale" like the ex-
press companies now conduct annu-
ally.
