beautiful memorial exercises were
held under the shadow of the stately
Confederate monument in the court
house grounds Sunday afternoon.

BETTER TIMES AHEAD FOR
SOUTH LAKE WEIR

Mr.. and Mrs. j. j. Sheldon of Ham
mond, Ind, who have been wintering
at South Lake Weir, returned via the
A. C. l.. to their home last Saturday.
We are informed that Mr.. Sheldon
has purchased from o. Shogren Is
acres fronting on S. Lake Weir and
that it is the intention of the purchas-
er to make this place his winter home
In addition Mr.. Sheldon has proposed
to the residents of S. Lake Weir to
organize club and that he will donate
frontage for club house. We un-
derstand that already quite num-
Der have signified their willingness to
become members.
The return north via the A. C. l..
of Mr.. and Mrs. Sheldon and great
number of other visitors to S. Lake
Weir, brings up again the subject of
the Seaboard and their Lake Weir
spur. If the Seaboard would only ar
range to back down their regular pas
senger trains twice week to South
Lake or put on a motor car between
Ocala, Summerfield and South Lake,
they would catch all this travel and
very much more and there is absolu-
tely no doubt but that it would pay
the road handsomely. s. Lake Weir,
with its resort features is a natural
play ground, its boating, fishing, bath
ing and healthfulness are unequaled.

ceased to engage in the fratricidal
strife which they had been carrying
on with the men of the north. BY the
arbitrament of the sword the young
nation of the southland sought to
have recognition among the nations of

To SETTLE COAL STRIKE

er. a nobler, a more valiant army of
men than were those who fought, suf-
fered and died in defense of their
southland. Their deeds of heroism,
their privataions and sufferings, their
loyalty and devotion have no parallel
in the chronicles of the worlds his
tory. Poets have enshined their feats
of daring; painters have portrayed
their scenes of gallantry, and sculp
tors have chiseled their fame and
honor on imperishable shafts of mar
BILE; historians of many lands have re-
corded their great achievements and
their glorious victories on the fields
of battle. And these memorable occa-
sions are fresh reminders of all that
which they did and suffered in de-
tense of what they considered and
conceived to be just cause for war,
so that the coming generations will be
fully instructed and have deeply in
stilled into their hearts and minds the
glorious truths and sublime principles
for which their forefathehrs fought in
the years between 1861 and 1865,
when each soldier went into battle
breathing the sentiment contained in
these lines:
Yes, let me like a soldier fall

To blot out every stain.

Now, all We matrons who shared

Washington, April 27.-The Euro
pean diplomats here, it was learned
today, are pessimistic over the posi-.
bilities of the successful outcome of
the mediation proceedings between
the United States and Mexico, and
the attitude of the South American
and European governments, and their

of procedure was reached.
The congressional leaders said that
the sentiment of congress generally
approved the mediation plans.
