THE MARIoN-sUMTER FAIR

Preparations for the Marion
Sumter Fair are rapidly being
brought to cpncIusion, and there is
every reason to believe it will be a
most successful occasion
AS far as the Star can learn, the
people of the county will he here in
force, with the pick of their fields
and groves. and firstlings Of their
fiocks and the samples of their handi-
works. 1t is to he hoped that all, or
nearly all, will come. This has been
rather a hard year with many of us,
and it is therefore the more neces-
sary that we should meet and be mer-
ry, compare notes, be thankful that
we are no worse off, and then take
heart and go forward.
We have two great and good coun-
ties to show for, and while we are
not as we'll on as we have been in
some years, we are better of than
we have been in some others, and at
the worst we have solid condition
of affairs that would look like the
riches OF G-olconda to more than half
the world.
The indications are that we will
have greater number of visitors
this year than usual from other
counties, and we should put our best
feet foremost and show them what
we can do We mustn't let our good
friends of AIachua put one over on
us; we should rejoice in their sue
cess and go them at least one bet
ter.
las good dessert is an important
part of every dinner. the amusements
are to many the best part of a fair.
We will have this year the best list
of amusernents we have had so far.
The carnival company which is com
ing here has bright, new outfit,
managed by veteran showmen. il
has given the best of satisfaction at
Live Oak and Gainesville, and in
tends to put another ribbon in its
Leap when it comes to Ocala.
Let all our people of Marion and
Sumter come to Ocala next week
and prove that bad seasons, unsettled
political conditions and foreign wars
can't make much of dent in oul
solid and enterprising community.

This is but q summary of work
done ii the homes Of club members,
which shows almost q double of last

BILE, considering the climatic and crop

According to an exchange Maurice
Connolly. democrat, of Iowa, defeat

According to current stories, he
was successfully attacked by the OPP

ground that he had been brilliant

gree of excellence in the fox trot, .
maxixe, tango and kitchen sink
which marked him as member Of

ocALA SHOULD HAVE ONE

We are glad to see a civilian rife
club formed in Jacksonville, and We
wish it had many thousand mem
bers. The federal government Is d.
ing everything in its power to en-
courage the formation OF such clubs.
They would help to furnish 4 state Of

We do not know what will follow
the big war now in progress. We
hope it will be universal peace I'M
der a system of world government
that will control nations as civil gov
ernments instituted by various
states and nationalities control in
dividuals. But while we hope for
this, we are not sure of it. 1t is
possible that the United States will
have to try conclusions with the VIC
tors
This is highly improbable, but not
SO utterly improbable as to not be
worth preparing for in an economical
and rational way. we do not care
to see the regular army enlarged as
means of preparation, for If the
preparation took this form it would
be Inadequate unless it resulted in
the formation of an enormous stand
ing army. If we are to rely for de-
Tense exclusively on a standing

We would much prefer to see the
safety of our country in the hands
of 5000, 900 good marksmen with
out military training than in the
hands OF one million of the best drill
ed and equipped soldiers on earth
With our whole population skilled IN
the use of firearms we could train
an army numbering not one million
but several million, men IN short
time, and in war such as Is now In

make scarcely any impression
