large stove in the waiting room
at the County Jail, sits Nancy
Hannah Kerlee who entered a
plea of guilty of the murder of
her little grandchild before Judge
Frank Carter in his court at Bry-
son City. Thirty years, equivalent
to life at her age of sixty-seven,
was the sentence of the court
passed upon her. An officer from
Raleigh will remove her from the
Haywood county jail in few
days to her future home in the
state penitentiary.
1t was rumored several DAYS ago
that the attorneys for the defend
ant would submit a plea that
would be acceptable to the state.
This was done and the sentence
of thirty years was given, thus
ending for all time a case that has
attracted much interest through
out the country.
The crime for which Nancy
Kerlee must serve the remainder
Of her days in the penitentiary
was that of having walled her lit
tie grandchild Robena Putnam in
a cave on AID Tate mountain dur

about year ago. When the child
was found life was extent.

FOR A SUCCESSFUL FAIR

Alachua and Suwannee counties
have been so impressed with the sue
cess and far-reaching influence of our
fair that they have become our imi
tators, and Gainesville is now busy
erecting buildings and laying out a
race track on her fair grounds, and is
going to try and conduct, if possible
more creditable fair than ours.
Having set the pace, we hope the
people of this country and of Sum
ter county will not let their interest
in it's success lag.
If there are any chickering's or dis
content, we should smother them fol
the public good and all come together
and pull together and make it a big
ger success than ever.
We have had bad year, and fol
that very reason we should re-double
our energies and make the fair more
than ever show our latent and won
derful resources.
The men who have won fame in
lifes battle are the ones who have
turned disaster into victory.
That's what we must do, and We
can only do this by united and con
certed efforts.
Let's all get together and get busy

POINTING WITH PRIDE TO OcALA
BOYS MAKING GOOD CAT
HOME"
Ocala, Fla, Aug. 81, 1914.

0Ndlo, / Ia, aug. IO11'
To the Editor Uca,a banner:
In your Saturdays issue was a
piece, entitled, Pointing With Pride
to Ocalas Sons Making Good in 9th
er Cities" To the thinking mind they
would seem to be the sons of other
cities. They were once Ocala's sons.
If Ocala should be asked the ques-
ton, "Why are they not now Ocala's
sons?" what answer would she give?
Surely not the new advertisement
Secretary Rooney has just gotten out.
"The City l'-Ocala-with it's
miles of fine roads, spacious homes,
fine law firms, the phosphate center,
with great tracts of lands for coloni.
zation, with our big buildings going
up, with the need of expert account
ants, with good stores for merchants,
with our solid banks-surely Ocala
must have employment to give, for
we note many strangers in our midst
filling these places that were once
filled by those who were once the
"sons of Ocala" in other cities.
Surely the old adage, "a prophet is
not without honor save in his own
country" will not be admitted by
Ocala as a reason for her sons going
to other cities for the same work that
strangers have found it easy to Sc
cure, with good pay, in Ocala.
l always thought it spoke badly for
the country of the prophet, for if he
was really prophet and appreciated
by other countries, why did not his
own country find it out?
| especially point with pride to the
boys who are making good in Ocala-
right here where they were born. 1t
speaks we'll for a city, and is the
best advertisement it could have
when it looks out for it's own boys
and gives them profitable work at
home.
Ocala is not alone in this. In so
many places we see where the boys
go away to earn just what a stranger
coming to his home town will earn.
Why is it the stranger had to come
here? He was just a town boy at his
home; they knew all about him, and,
like other towns, seemed looking for
strangers whom they did not know TO
fill the responsible positions. So, like
"Joe in the block house." it is move
on"
Let us feel proud of keeping our
boys at home, and appreciate them
as much as do other cities. 1t is good
for the boy, it is good for the town,
it is good for the "old folks"
