A. REMARKABLE TREE

AT the head of Horse canon, a.
bout ten miles west of Cotton
wood Springs, was standing a
few days ago Il tree that may be
considered the most remarkable
of any anywhere in the Mis- sis
sippi valley.
-Four feet four inches in diane
tor is big tree of any kind; but
when red cedar reaches such
proportions it becomes some
thing more than merely a big
tree-it becomes a remarkable
tree.
f.. j. Board and M. j. Cook
discovered The tree some time
ago, and last week Il. j Cook.
and XII and John Arnrine did the
Illuminating act of bringing the
great tree to the ground, and
carving it up into posts and
wood.
In the first place, John Am
rine climbed up about 80 feet
into the tree, and from there on
down sawed off the lin BIS, in or
der that the posts in them
wouldn' be spoiled by the fall
ling of the tree.
The tree was then cut down
and the process of making it in
to posts and wood began. The
limbs of the tree made 40 posts.
Two cuts off the tree made 1870
posts, and there are still three
or four cuts to be worked up.
After aIl>the posts have been
gotten out of the tree that it will
make, there will be anywhere
from two to four loads of wood
to finish the job.
The remarkable thing about
this tree is that it is IL red cedar;
and it's the size of the tree in
connection with its slow growth.
that makes it remarkable.
Nothing buta rough estimate
of the age of tine tree can
be made; but hardly les than a
thousand or two Thousand years
could have produced it.
The exact number of posts
and loads of wood made
from it will be giver when the

GOOD BASEBALL GAME

There was small crowd at the
ball game yesterday afternoon, but
all who went We're we'll pleased The
game was lively and interesting
from the first. II was supposed that
the bank clerks, accustomed for
years to sunproof positions, would
wilt in the heat, but they came to
bat like professionals and tied the
score. Darkness ended the game in
the eighth inning with seven runs
to the credit of each side.
In the Stars opinion, game of
this sort is one of the most interest
ing, and It does not see why the peo-
pie 10 not turn out better to see it.
The Indifference shown by Ocala
people is about TO put the kibosh on
two institutions in which the city
should take pride, namely the ball
team and the band, and if they do
not soon show a revival of interest
the diamond will have to be plowed
up and sowed in velvet beans and
the bandstand sold for stovewood.
