which appeals to all alike, and which
is one of the strongest ever placed on
the stage, will be the attraction at
The Playhouse all of this week with

ternoon. Tonight will be Ladies'
Night, and women will be admitted to
all parts of the house at a reduced

The Old Curiosity Shop" IS to be-
the attraction at the Victoria Theatre
today. The story Of Little Nell. the
gentle, lovable inmate Of the Curiosity
Shop, and her grandfather is one Of the
most interesting in fiction. The oll

sequent foreclosure by the malicious
dwarf, Quilp, causes them to be driven
from home to a wandering life in
which they experience many hardships.
They are befriended on the way by the
kind schoolmaster, Mr.. Marion. and
later receive suecor and work at Mrs.
Jarley's wax works, where the dormant
passion for gambling suddenly arises

TO set out once more Finally. as a re-
suit Of her past trials, the health Of
Little Nell fails and she passes away,
soon to be followed by her grandfather,

day. The sight of 5000 boys, few
of them over 20 years Of age, and
many not yet is, stands out clearly
in memory today as the warship
Montana steams through the line of
battleships and heads northward.
With flags at half mast and their
crews standing at attention, the ships
of the American squadron have paid
their last honor to the seventeen dead
boys whose bodies rest beneath the
flag for which they died, and now
aboard this ship are bound for home.
This dispatch is sent ashore as the
aags of Great Britain Spain, Cuba and
France are being dipped in honor of
The American dead. The nations Of the
world join in honoring these boys who
entered a city unknown to them and
blithely and smilingly went to their
death before a foe which fought them,
aot in the open, but from housetops
and church towers.
1t was a wonderful sight, these boys
marching into town in two columns
down parallel streets, and then scat
tering as they got down among the
houses where the "snipers" were con
aealed. There was no turning back. no
tlinehng, but all skipped gayly into
the conflict.
i wonder if it is bravery or ignor-
anceFs one experienced officer remarked
as he stood IN front of the Terminal
Hotel and watched the boys advance.
That was the way the wonderful work
and heroism of the marines and blue
Jackets forced many to view their driv.

was evident among the officers COM
manding the lads who fought their way
through Vera Cruz, and manifested it,
self as much as did the youthful daring
OF the men in the ranks. From their
shouts Of encouragement the officers
might have been struggling upon the
gridiron at Annapolis rather than di-
recting operations against an enemy.

Montana is steaming northward to-
day. Her flags are at half mast and
: guard Of honor is watching over
seventeen leaden caskets wrapped in
the flag for which the boys who fell
at Vera Cruz gave up their lives. The
cruise to New York will be vastly
different from the trip of the battle
ship sailing to Mexican waters, when
every bluejacket and marine was in

battle. Routine duties are attended

MOURNING PASSED.

The notice of the death of an emf
nent man in London contained these
words: ellis wife and family will re-
spect his urgent desire that no out
word sign of mourning should be
worn" In referring to this notice the
London Times says: "The practice
of wearing mourning has long been
sliding into disuse and probably the
next 20 years will see it abandoned
altogether, at any rate, among the
Weather people,"
According to the London paper, all
badges of woe are disappearing from
funerals. The black resets on the
horses brides and the crepe on the
hats and sleeves are seldom seen. So
it is with black-edges writing paper
and black-edged cards. 1t is all go
ing because mourning is not needed,
either for memory or respect. Here
are two paragraphs from the Times
article:
Those whose sympathy we value
will give it to us without our advertis-
ing it; will seem but indecent to go
about the world demanding sympathy
from strangers.
And if we believe that those who
have left us have still the power to
observe our doings; we must believe
that it is our hearts, not our clothes,
that they will read.
All of which may seem a little un-
feeling, and yet is only to give an idea
of the changes that are going on in
the world of mourning.

THE MARIoN-SUMTER COUNTY
FAIR

The seventh annual premium list of
the Marion-Sumter county fair is just
f., issued from the press, and Judge Da-
yid S. Williams, the very active and
efficient secretary of the association,
is busy distributing them.
The pamphlet contains about 100
pages and if the next fair is not a
success it Will not be on account Of
the premium list, for there is not a
single product grown or manufacture
ed IN shop, field or garden that it fails
to mention, with a premium attached
sufficiently attractive to have samples
Of the same exhibited at the fair.
The holding of the fair is for the
I purpose of stimulating the growth of
these various products, and never be-
fore has the premium list been mere
carefully and studiously prepared.
Besides the shop, field and garden
no part of the domestic economy is
oVerlooked--the ladies ought especial
! y. to be interested in the premium
list. Indeed it ought to awaken an
increased interest in the approaching
fair On the part CT the whole people.
Secretary Williams is distributing
the list thus early SO that it will fall
into the hands OF the farmers in time
for them to put aside their best pro-
duets for exhibition purposes.
This is the first time that the names
of the two counties have been incor-
porated together on the title page of
the pamphlet, although it is the Sec
ond year that Sumter has joined with
Marion in making the fair a marvel
Gus success.
Capt. D. H. Bakers name appears
as chairman of the board of directors,
which stands as a guarantee that Sum
ter will be fittingly represented at the
fair when it opens its doors on the
Gath of next November.
In order to facilitate the work of
Secretary Williams in giving all the
information concerning the fair as
wide a publicity as possible we shall
from time to time print the rules gov
erning the exhibits, the premiums of
fered for the more important articles
for exhibition and other data Aelating
to the fair.
Secretary Williams is to be com
mended for his efforts in placing the
premium list in the hands of the pub
lie a. this early date.

Special to the Ocala Banner.

Special to the Ocala Banner.
Washington, May 16, 1914.
Today has been set aside as rooster
day in Kentucky and Tennessee,
which every poultry dealer in these
States will pay the same prices for
roosters as they do for hens and pull
lets. The steps was advocated in the
interest of the infertile egg by the
poultry specialists of the Depart
ment of Agriculture. There is an
enormous loss in eggs as a result of
the fertile egg, especially during the
summer and fall months, and for this
reason the Department of Agriculture
has recommended that the rooster be
kept away from the hens during these
seasons. 1t is expected that other
States will follow the lead of Ken
lucky and Tennessee. Infertile
eggs will keep in good condition in
temperatures which cause fertile eggs
to rot, causing a tremendous annual
loss to both producer and consumer.

Columbia, S. c., May 15.-The Dem

day and it is probable that the propos-
ed amendments to the rules of the
Democratic party in South Carolina,
throwing restrictions around the use
of the ballot in the primary, will be
adopted. Gov. Blease made strong
fight at the election of delegates to
gain control of this meeting, but was
overwhelmingly defeated. He had
hoped to prevent the adoption of the
new rules, because they will have the
effect of DISTINGUISHING many of his
supporters among the cotton mill
workers and tenant farmers, and they
may possibly embarrass him in his
race for the United States senate.

The brunette and the blonde, the
