A NARROW ESCAPE
There Came Very Near Being An
other Fatality at the Union
Picnic

Picnic
That most regrettable accident, the
drowning of Mrs. Grubb, which cast
gloom over the entire party, came
near being duplicated yesterday at
the union Sunday school picnic.
A party of about thirty young
folks, not satisfied with the bathing
facilities afforded at the chosen pic
mic grounds, and accompanied by
Secretary Rooney, went on down the
lake front past the yacht club to a
dock at The Oaks Commodore
Goodwin's place, where they arrang-
ed to battle in the deep water on that
dock, and where there was a spring
board for deep diving.
Miss Mary Bray, seeing the others
Idisporting themselves with so great
ease and apparent safety in the wa
ter, seemed to think tit looked so
easy), that she could do as we'll, for
getting for the moment that she was
not an expert swimmer. She jump
ed of into water about seven feet
deep, and at once sank. When she
came to the surface she caught the
first person within reach, Miss Callie
Gissendaner, and clinched both arms
around her neck, wholly disabling
her, and both sank twice before help
arrived. Holder Stokes came to their
assistance and Miss Mary released
her hold on Miss Gissendaner and
clinched with Holder. They sank
and were only saved by the timely ar
rival of Mr. Turner, who jumped
into the water fully dressed and pull
ed them both out just in time
Miss Callie was thus left free, but
size was so overcome by the strug-
gle with Miss Bray, that she was
almost unconscious and totally help
less. She was sinking again when
little Miss Lillian Smith, who is an
expert swimmer, seeing her distress,
swan to her, and keeping her head
above the water as much as possible,
towed her into shallow water, where
she was delivered into the charge of
others.
Luckily for all, Miss Callie was
helpless and did not struggle or offer
any resistance, otherwise it is very
doubtful about Miss Smith being able
to manage her as we'll as she did. If
she had struggled and clinched with
her rescuer, the probabilities are
that both would have drowned, as
assistance while they were in deep
water. All the others in the water
at the time became panic stricken
and scrambled out of the water and
her self-imposed responsibility.

.0cAlA N FORM AGAIN
Took the Game from Citra Yesfer.
day by a Score Of Eight
to Three

1t is beginning to look like Mar
ion county won't have to depend on
outside talent in order to have good
baseball this season.
The Citra boys came over yester-
day and in a spirited contest lost to
Ocala by score of eight to three.
The Citra boys are good individ-
ual players, and their pitcher, Fea-
gle. is fine, but they don't pull to-
gether as well as they probably will
later
Most of the Ocala veterans were
out again and semed to be in their
old form. Gentle proved himself q
good pitcher, and Thompson and
Gates do fine fielding.
Davis, Bats, Dewey, Harris, Bull
lock and Mcleod. tried in many
former games, are as good as ever.
The game depended mostly on the
fielding. Both sides did good stick
work. and displayed much dash in
making runs. The game was in fact
decided by the field work, in which
Ocala excelled, while Citra was in
proportion deficient.
The Ocala lineup was as follows:
Bullock. c; Gentle, p; Mcleod. 1b;
Davis. 2b; Bats. IS; Dewey, 3b;
Harris. If; Thompson, CT; Gates, RI.
The Citra lineup was: Feagle. p;
Hopson. C; Luffman, lib; c. Lam
bert. CT; Rifles. IT, Ausley. IS; Kahn,
BIB; S. Lambert, IF. Mr.. H. A. Wart-
mann is manager of the team
About 800 people were out to see
the game. Among them were Mr..
and Mrs. E. L. Wartmann, Mr.. and
Mrs. Wyckoff, Mr.. and Mrs. Senate,
Miss Erwin, Miss Fulwood, Messrs
Roux, Shortridge, White and Mr.. and
Mrs. Malphurs of Citra, who came
over in their cars to see the game.
Mr.. J. J. Gerig umpired the game.

TWO NEAT PAMPHLETS

The Florida Title and Abstract
Corporation has had two neat little
pamphlets printed and is distribut-
ing them through this and other
counties in which it is operating.
One of the pamphlets contains the
articles of Incorporation and by
laws of the company in full and the
other is prospectus of the company
and tells what 1t has done, is doing
and proposes to do, and also con-
tains six or eight letters of endorse
ment from bankers and other leading
business men of Ocala who are thor
oughly acquainted with the COM
pany's methods and affairs.
In this prospectus is told how the
company has grown from a very
modest beginning three years ago
until now it has plant with the
most modern equipment, assets of
nearly $4,000 and business on the
books of the company of more than
$4,000 to be finished within the
coming SIX months, ana more cOm-
ing in all the time.
The larger part of the business of
the company comes from Marion,
Lake, Sumter and Citrus counties,
requires the services of fifteen skill
ed people and the completed work
that they put out is on par with
the best in the United States and
without doubt is the best produced
in this state.
Its future is very bright and as an
investment the Star believes that its
preferred stock offers one of the best
opportunities of any of the local en-
terprises. Mr.. r. S. Rogers, its
president and manager. has spent al
most lifetime in the business. in
Texas and Illinois, and from the
character of the work he produces
we do not believe that he has a
superior. as an abstractor of titles,
in the country.

HISTORY AT NEW ENGLAND

"The Poor Mans Paradise" is a
neat 24-page booklet just published
for The Murphy-G Gardner Land Co. by
The Hettinger County Herald at New
England, the Milwaukee Ry. terminal
on the historic banks of the Cannon
Ball river. This work contains a vast
amount of valuable information about
Hettinger and Billings counties, and
shows some of the characteristic
business enterprise Of J. j. Murphy.
cashier of the Security State Bank.
and his partner, W. L. Gardner.
One of the historic features of the
pamphlet is cut of the Hettinger
County Herald office. The walls of
this building were made of petrified
stones picked up along the river
bank nearby. E. M. Fisher of Brat
tleboro, Vermont, did the mason work
during the fine fall weather of 1887.
The village school of the colonists
was taught here for two or more
seasons, and during the open winter
of 189O-91 the walls were barricaded
on three sides with sods taken from
the plowed fields. 1t was during the
Indian scare that the school house
was thus fortified. So far as known
now there were no Indians within a
hundred miles of the place, but it
was at the time Of the Sitting Bull
disturbance and the government sent
two companies of infantry via Dick
inson to New England where they
made headquarters during January
and February. Five cavalry troops
came up from the Standing Rock
Agency bright and early one morn
ing and rather startled A. P. Folsom,
who was the village merchant and

HOW CHILDREN GROW

Children grow by nourishment-not
overloaded stomachs or rich foods but
qualities that are readily converted into
Gfe-sustaining blood; too often their
digestive powers cannot procure these
qualities from ordinary foods which results
in weakness, dullness and sickness.
If your children are under-size, under
weight, catch cold easily, are languid,
backward, pale or frail, give them Scott's
Emulsion which, is pure medicinal nourish-
ment. 1t sharpens the appetite, builds
healthy flesh, firm muscles and active
brains. Scott's is growing food for
children. Refuse alcoholic substitutes.
