SEEN IN THE SOUTH

If anybody wants to fight third
battle of Bull Run, the trip from
Washington to Manassas Junction
can be made by trolly. Bull Run was
bubbling even with its banks from the
spring floods. A small stream with
great fame.
Alexandria, where George Washing
ton went to church, is getting out of
its decay and becoming smart SUI
5urb of Washington. New houses in
new districts hide the ancient town.
The peaks behind Thomas F. Ryan's
Virginia country-seat were white with
snow yesterday morning. The drifts
were still deep in the woods. The
South has had long winter.
The Confederate monument at Man
assas is the ugliest ever. 1t seems
rough to suffer and die for such a
memorial.
Georgia is revealing in the illicit
joys of statewide prohibition law.
The clubs thrive for the privileges,
and "near-beer" is retailed to soothe
the populace. Jacksonville handily
situated near the Georgia border of
Florida holds out a comforting, if un-
certain, hand. 1t has taken over the
last Georgia Sunshine Whiskey that
will ever be offered for sale" and
tenders the limited remainder to At
lanta, twelve full quarts for $1,000.
The mule cotinues to be the south's

Gaffney is the name of an import

THE HRAvEs1 BATTLE

The bravest battle that was ever
fought;
shall l tell you where and when?
On the maps of the world you will
find 1t not;
1t was fought by the mother of men,
Nay, not with cannon or battle shot,
With sword or noble pen;
Nay, not with eloquent words or
thought,
From mouths of wounded men.
But deep in a woman's walled-up
heart
OF women that would not yield;
But patiently silently bore her part
Lol there in that battlefield.
No marshaling troops, no bivouac
song;
No banner to CLEAN and wave;
And OH these battles last so long
From babyhood to the grave!
Yet, faithful still as bridge of stars,
She fights in her walled-up-town-
Fights on and en- in the endless wars,
Then silent. unseen-goes down.

postmaster at Citra and conducted a
drug store, and dealt in ice cream and
cold drinks. His removed from the
activities of trade will be greatly
missed, and from Citra's social life
deplored.
He is survived by a widow and foul

Mr.. Harrison's father, Mr.. Thomas
Harrison, was one of our early pic

imprint on the record and growth Of
our internal affairs.

a gloom over Citra, and much sym
patty is expressed for the bereaved

The Banner tells us that Ocala is
growing. We are happy to hear it.
But who is responsible for this new
life, push, enterprise and growth
Jefferson Davis Rooney, secretary of
the Marion county board of trade, and
the board. Mr.. Rooney has injected
new life into Ocala, and as secretary
of the board should have the support
of the people of the entire county.
The progressive spirit should be up.
permost in the minds of the people.
This is an age of progress. Unless
the people advertise they might just
as well eliminate themselves. J. D.
Rooney advertises. See the results

Mr.. R. T. Adams, proprietor of the
Harrington Hall hotel, and Mr.. Ed
Carmichael, owner of the "City of
Ocala," a steamer that makes the
daylight trip between Silver Springs
and Palatka, have just returned from
a trip to st. Augustine and other east
coast points, where they have been on
a missionary tour to induce the tour
lists at said resorts to make a trip up
the picturesque Oklawaha to beautiful
Silver Springs and Ocala before leav-
ing Florida for their return trip north
These gentlemen are quite buoyant
over what they believe will be the re-
suit of the trip. They are sanguine
that next season, with two boats on
the line, that they will pack the
Ocala hotels to their full capacity
from the beginning to the end of the
tourist season. Mr.. Carmichael is
making a big success with his boat
line, and the Harrington Hall enjoys
a reputation second to no other hotel
of its size in Florida.

her, which was greatly appreciated
and enjoyed by all present.
Why Stick to the Beaten Track?
Why do we stick to the beaten track?
Who made these roads we tread?
Can we not blaze some thought path
Can We not forge ahead
LaZily we stalk in the same old way,
Not thinking a thought for our
selves;
Our minds are only receptacles of &
Ideas we find on our shelves.
Stand by the old land mark you say"
This from the voice of old"
This the sages have told.
1t is true that with creation dawn,
The general plan was laid.
For God, the master mind of all
The general sketches made.
At these he only gave us chance
And left us to think out the rest.
So each generation has had to devise
The plan that would serve it best.
The minds who have lived before us
have worked
And delved in Thought shops of
then,
They worked out a plan to fit their
day
And fill the need of their men.
But what of us in this tightening age?
What are we trying to do?
But trying to make their glorified
plans
Fit into our day too.
Our duty's before us, we mustn't
shirk
The needs of our girls and boys,
They'll not be content at the present
pace
To play with their grandparents
toys.
So why not make their amusement
And laugh with the young each day,
! They must not play as we used to,
But perhaps it is as good way.
And if Pharasees frown and say Not
so"
Just think the thing out, that's the
way.
See If there's not something good in
the fun,
The children are having today.
Oh why not put on the whole armour
of God
And look the foe right in the face,
Then what if public opinion is as now
God will make up with his grace.
