Farm Home Burns.

Friday morning about Z O'Clock
the house on the w. j. Luce farm
west of town was discovered to be on
fire, and was burned to the ground
The house was occupied by Chas
Luce, son of VIM. Luce and his son
Ira. 1t seems that Ira had not gotten
up in the morning yet and was awak-
ened by smoke in his room and on
starting down stairs discovered the
stairway on fire. The alarm was at
once given and the neighbors and
some from town in autos went to as
sist in fighting the flames, but they
had gained too much Roadway, and
nothing could be done but save the
household goods from the lower
story. Mr.. Luce and family have
rented the Geo. Spaeth property in
the west part of town. We are told
there was 5000 insurance on the
house and $500 on the contents,
which will hardly cover the loss

Mrs. Fred Shaushnessy

Mrs Bessie Shaughnessy (nee
Daily was born in Decatur county,
Iowa, Sept. 21, 1876, and died at her
home in Sprindale, Ark, Dec. 6,
1914. The days of her maidenhood
and young womanhood were spnet
near her native home, where she be-
came one of the efficient teachers of
the county
She was married to Fred Shaugh-
messy June 70, 1898. This union was
blessed with only one child, Donald,
aged eleven years. In early child
hood she SURRENDERED her life to God,
but lived out Of the church until af-
ter her marriage, when she Joined
the Christian church in Northboro,
Iowa.
Mrs. Shaughnessy was constant
sufferer for eight years, always con-
fined to her home and most of the
time to her bed or chair. But the
more she suffered the stronger be-
came her faith. 1t seemed that the
Lord shut her in from the world that
He might give her greater visions of
Himself until she had become real
benediction unto those who were Of
ten in her presence. 1t was the writ
er's privilege to visit her just a few
days before her departure and her
perfect faith in God and complete
resignation to His will were all but
sublime.
She leaves besides her husband
and little son, two sisters and two
neices, but she leaves them with her
benediction and unmistakable evil
dence as to her future.
Funeral services were held at the
home on Emma avenue, Dec. 7th, at
2 p. M, conducted by Rev. A. L.
Cline, pastor of the M. E. church, and
the body laid to rest in the Bluff
cemetery at Springdale, Ark. The
pastors talk was from St. John 14:1
and 2, which was the text selected by
Mrs. Shaughnessy, and the choir
sang. Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me-"
which was also selected by her, and
was one of her favorite hymns.

whether the rates to Ocala and Tam
pa were based on the rates to Jack
sonville plus local rates, Mr.. Caps
said that this did not apply to Tam
pa, but did to Ocala
1t was admitted that there is no
justification of lower rate on less
than carload lots on butter, -four,
etc, to Ocala tina nthat enjoyed by
Tampa on shipments from Jackson
Vile
Mr.. B. A. Weathers asked Mr.
Caps whether the Seaboard made a
profit on it's share of the freight on
grain from Savannah to Tampa on
Philadelphia shipments, to which he
replied that they made little, if any,
but said they lost nothing on same.
The rate from Tampa to Ocala on
grain is 2 cents per hundred, while
from Savannah to Tampa the Sea-
board hauls the same commodity
through Ocala, distance of over a
hundred miles further. for cents
per hundred, with a haul of four
hundred miles.
Mr.. Caps cited the water compe-
| tition in Tampa's case.
At / o'clock the commission ad-
journed to meet at 2:3O, at which
time Mr.. Caps continued with his
facts and figures" to show why the
railroad cannot conform to the long
and short haul law made at the last
session of the legislature.
There are in attendance about
| twenty-five railroad men from the
various roads entering the state and
! many of them are loaded down with
| documentary evidence for presenta-
| ton to the commission before it ad-
| journs. This mornings session was
fairly we'll attended by the city's
business men. No specific cases ex-
cept the rates on grain, ETC., have as
yet been brought out in the hearing.
After the meeting adjourned this
afternoon, about 4:30, the stern
champions of the people and the rep
resentatives of the tyrannical corpor-
atoms will bury the Ratchet, with the
handle sticking out, until tomorrow,
and, if Secretary Rooney can secure
enough cars, will go on ride to see

CABBAGE FROM
SUMTER COUNTY

An English poet speaks of "a cab
bage as a giant rose, and if he was
consistent in his sentiment he could
find many delightful gardens in Ma
rion and Sumter counties.
Saturday, Messrs. j. E. and T. v
burlington of Coleman were in town
and they put on display at the Nun
roe & Chambliss Bank two cabbage
one weighing IA " and the other
10A pounds.
The bigger cabbage was raised by
Messrs. burlington, the smaller by
burlington and Owens, all in Warm
Springs hammock fields. There were
acres and acres of these cabbage this
year, some as large, a few larger
and thousands and thousands nearly
as large.
The bigger cabbage was firm and
symmetrical, and would certainly
have grown more if it had not beer
cut to bring to Ocala.
Mr.. Curington said they used the
fertilizer sold by Mr.. George Ellis
putting on 500 pounds to the acre a
first and 400 pounds later. Over SOC
carloads were shipped from the i'm
mediate neighborhood this spring
sometimes twenty or more day.

HOW MUCH HARM?

Everybody is wondering how much
harm was done by last nights cold.
The mercury went to 81, ice form
ed in exposed places. 1t is colder
however, in Ocala, than in the sur
rounding county.
Most of the people in town this
morning gave optimistic reports.
Commodore Goodwin, from East
lake, said no harm was done at his
place, but ice was reported in the
country a mile or two from the
lake.
Fear is expressed for watermelon
plants and orange blossoms, but the
damage can't be estimated for a day
or two.

the various railroad companies no.
tifying them of the proposed meet
ing in this city on March 3rd to hear
all parties concerned on the subject
of enforcement of the short haul
law passed at the last session of the
Florida legislature. He also read
the order of the commission post
poning the date of the meeting to
March 23rd. 49,
A call was then made for the reg
istering of names of parties repre-
senting the railroads and also those
representing boards of trade and
other bodies interested in the pro-
ceedings.

senting the Barker Chemical Com
pany, Inglis.
| Mr.. Burr stated that it was up to
the transportation companies to fur
nish reasons why the long and short
haul law should not be put into eff
| feet and apply at once. He said that
the commission also wanted to hear
the matter argued from the point of
the shipper and others interested,
and in order to do so had called this
special meeting for the convenience
of everyone, rather than compel
interested parties to go before the
board in Tallahassee.
Vice President Capps of the Sea
board asked whether the rates were
to be taken up as whole or indi-
vidually, and Mr.. Burr suggested
ticles for certain sections.
The rates from Jacksonville to
Tampa and intermediate points were
then taken up, Mr.. Caps reading
his company's contention on the
various rates applicable to every day
shipments.
Mr.. Spencer of the Marion County
board of Trade asked that the rate:
