the ordinary typewriter and writing
his own letters and the news matter

THE sIsTRUNk CASE

A special term of the circuit court
was convened in this city Monday
for the purpose of trying the case
against Mr.. Simeon T. Sistrunk
charged with the misappropriation OF
public funds while clerk of the circuit
court for this county.
Judge ]. T. Wills, of the eighth jul
dicial circuit was appointed to try
the case, owing to the disqualifica-
ton of Judge Bullock.
Judge Wills came down from
Gainesville by auto, reaching Ocala in
time to open court promptly at ten
o'clock, the hour named.
The following jurors having been
duly summoned, were sworn: j.
C. Osteen, ]. C. Smoak, J. B. Irby, c.
]. McCranie, NJ. F. Dodson, Phillip H
Shafer, Ernest Crook, F. w. Ditto, J.
c. Higgins, s. w. Petteway, J. R.
Dewey, s. NJ. Lummus, w, E. Grimes,
H. D. Grantham.
The three last named were excus.
ed.
After Mr.. Sistrunk's arraignment
his attorneys made a motion to quash
the indictment on the ground that the
jury list drawn in January, 1913, was
not Transcribed to the minutes of the
board of county commissioners, as re-
| quired by law, and because of which
the jury that found the indictment
against the defendant was illegal and
| without authority to act
The state attorney asked for time
| to give the matter consideration, and
the court took a recess until two
o'clock.
At two o'clock the state wanted
still further time to consider the plea
| of the defendant, so the case was con
tinued for the term.
| Messrs. r. B. Bullock, R. L. Ander
son and w. NJ. Gober represented the
defendant, and G. W. Scofeld, unas
sisted, appeared for the state.

THE MISTAKES OF LIFE

Str.ve as we may, we make mis-
takes daily. We err so frequently be-
cause we are so fallible-so human.
We so often set up our own standard
of right and wrong and judge others
accordingly. We measure the enjoy
ment of others too frequently by our
own little tape measure. We endeay-
or to mold all dispositions alike. We
expect Judgment and experience-the
impossible-in youth. We yield too
often to immaterial trifies. We wor-
ry ourselves and others in matters
that cannot be remedied. We fail to
make proper allowance for the infirm-
tiles of others.
And so on without number.
The fact that man is wonderfully
made" makes the otherwise possible
impossible.
Though born of the same parents
no two children are alike, so how can
We expect uniformity? If they are
alike in looks, they are not alike in
dispositions. They do not think along
the same lines and are controlled by
different aspirations. What is a de-
light for one may be misery for the
other. So this being true, how may
we expect uniformity? How are we
to expect the world to look through
the same pair of eyes and see same.
ness everywhere?
Taking the matter of eyes, what do
we see? If of the same color, no two
pair are of the same luster; if of the
same luster, they are wondrously diff
ferent in expression. Some are mild
some are melting, some are piercing
some are roguish, some are devouring
and all-consuming. The poets and low
ers have described them in a thou
sand different ways.
But whether black or brown, blue
or gray. no two pairs of eyes may be
made to see things alike, because they
are controlled by the gray matter be
hind them, which is as multitudinous
as the drops of water that form the
great oceans.
God, in his infinite wisdom, has ere
ated every atom different from every
other atom.
The lesson is that we make mis-
take when we set up our own stand
ard of right and wrong, and expect ev
erybody in the universe to measure
up to it.

FIRE AT THE LINWooD HoTEi
TUESDAY

fire alarm was turned in to the
fire station Tuesday at 1:20 p. m.'
from the fourth ward, and In re"
seconds the chemical auto and trucks
were on their way to the scene OF the
conf1agration. The fire proved to DC
at the Judson Edwards old home, now
the Linwood Hotel, on North Mag
uolia street, which is conducted Dy
Mrs Beaton.
The fire seemed to have originated
from a defective fue in the kitchen
and when the firemen arrived the ROOF
over the kitchen was a mass OF
-fiames. The roof being very dry 1t
burned rapadly and at first it looked
as if the entire building would be
burned to the ground, but by heroic
efforts by the fire boys, willingly as
sisted by volunteers, the fire was
soon under control.
The roof of the main part of the
house also caught, and in the at
tempt to extinguish the flames some
little damage was done to the walls
and furniture. Quite lot OF the fur
niture, bedding, ETC., was taken ou'
of the house, however, and moved tt
safety across the street.
The damage by both the flames anc
water will amount to several hundred
dollars. Insurance was carried or
both the house and furniture.
Soon after the alarm was given
and the fire department had left the
station large crowd started in the
direction taken by the firemen, anC
in a very few minutes several hun
dred persons had collected on the
scene. All seemed to be of the opin
ion that the entire house was doom
ed, but il was soon demonstrated
that we have some real fire fighters
in Ocala, who on this occasion receiv'
ed their full share of praise for
their splendid work.

THE HASTINGS POTATO CROP

Hastings produced a million-dollar
potato crop this spring. The crop has
been harvested and sold and the far.
mers in the Hastings section are
strutting about with jingling pockets
and bank books that are so swollen
that strong rubber bands are fastened
around them to keep them from burst
ing the pockets in which they are
carried.
While the potato is king and rules
Hastings with autocratic hand, or
possibly it should be eye, the spud
has not an absolute monopoly of the
soil there. The farmers are diversity
ing and garden truck by the train
load was grown there during the wint.
er, while corn and hay are now com.
ing on the scene for a share of the
plaudits.
This year the potato crop was an
exceptionally good one, and the mar
ket was strong with high prices rul-
ing and a demand for all that could
be furnished. This morning wire re.
ports state that the high prices have
advanced, SO that the few belated
shippers will gain instead of losing
by their hardness in getting to market
with their crop.-St. Augustine

Hon. Albert w. Gilchrist, former
governor of Florida, occupied the
Methodist pulpit at Punta Gorda Sun
day morning and spoke on the subject
of Mother" giving the origin OF
Mothers Day."
| Governor Gilchrist was governor al
the time the day was made one for
appropriate observance and as it is SO
rare that one outside the cloth oc.
cupies the pulpit, we print the gov.
ernor's remarks in full:
Governor GiIchrist's Address
Punta Gorda, Fla, June z, 1914.
Rev. Sistrunk, Ladies and Gentlemen: ::
Mothers Day is usually observed
throughout the United States on the
second Sunday in May of each year.
1t may, of course, be observed ON any
day, as it is observed here today.
Mothers Day should be every day in
all the year This observance is due
to young lady in Philadelphia. She
lost her best friend, her dearly be-
loved mother. She wrote to the va
rious governors, asking them to is
sue a proclamation. proclaiming the
second Sunday in May as Mothers
Day, suggesting that each one, on
that day, wear a white flower of
some kind, signifying purity. During
my first year as governor she wrote
to me. At that time very few gov
ernors had issued such a proclama-
tion. A governor naturally hesitates
in being among the first to do some
thing entirely new in his state. Be-
ing in hearty accord with her wishes,
complied with her request promptly.
The various ministers of the gospel
were requested to hold special SER
vice on the second Sunday in May
in commemoration of their best and
truest friend-their mother. Every.
one was requested to pay some spe-
cial attention to their mother, if she
be alive, and if she be dead to show
some mark of appreciation to her
dear memory. Some complied and
some did not. l am happy to say that
Mothers Day is now being observed
throughout every state of our broad
and glorious country. 1t is observed
throughout various portions of Eu-
rope. 1t will soon be observed
throughout the civilized world. The
more it is observed the better it
speaks for the refinement and for
the best elements within us all. AS
previously mentioned, Mothers Day
ought to be every day in all the year.
In many passages, the Holy Bible
teaches you to Honor thy father and
thy mother. that the days may be
long in the land which the Lord thy
God giveth thee This is the direct
promise for honoring thy father and
thy mother. 1t is the only direct prom
ise of reward mentioned in the ten
commandments. In Saint Matthew
there is an assurance of severe pun
ishment for even speaking evil of thy
father and thy mother. "He that
speaketh evil OF father or mother, let
him die the DEATH" In Proverbs you
are taught to "hear the instructions
of thy father and to forget not the
law of thy mother "Despise not
thy mother when she is old" This
also is from Proverbs. 1t seems al
most unreasonable for such a sugges.
ton to be made to anyone. That it is
made proves conclusively the neces-
sity for such a statement In our time
we read and hear of men and women
