SUGAR AND THE j. L. SMITH GRO.
Gerry COMPANY

The J. L. Saith Grocery Compan.y
has fer long time been giving TWEEN
ty-ona pounds IT sugar 70" one dollar.
and has been making that fact known
through the advertising columns of
the Ocala Banner.
The price of sugar has advanced 81
rapidly since the outbreak of the war
in Europe that the firm finds it i'm
possible to sell at the old prices, and
has been compelled to give two
pounds less-that is to say, it now adj
vertises nineteen pounds for one dol
lar"
Very few if any of the firms COM
petitors give so large quantity for
so small a price, as an investigation
will, perhaps, disclose.
We take this occasion to say that
the j. L. Smith Grocery Company sent
in a change for its advertisement in
the Ocala Weekly Banner as
early as Tuesday morning, making
this fact known to it's customers, but
this paper had already gone to press
with the pages in which this adver-
tisement appears, so it was impossi-
BILE for the firm to make the announce
ment of the change in prices-so we
make it here.
Remember that though the adver-
tisement reads ''21 pounds for one dol
lar" it should read 10 pounds for one
dollar"
Go at once and lay in your supply
at these figures, for the price of SUI
gar is advancing every day, and the
war now looks as if it will last a
long time.
We also take this occasion to say
that the J. l.. Smith Grocery Company
is doing a very fine business, and is
exceedingly pleased with the patron
age the people of Ocala are giving it.
1t is a fine firm to do business with.
Mr.. Louis Pillans, the manager of
the store, is especially pleasing and
Obliging.

MURDERER OF OvERSEER OF /
POOR IS STILL BESiEGED.

Mayville, n. Y. Jan. 15-Tonight As
hours after the shooting of John G.
w. Putnam, overseer of the poor Ed
ward Beardsley, his assailant, was
still holding out against the siege of
Sheriff Gurtav Anderson and his dep
uties at the little farm house near
Summerdale, where Putnam received
what may prove to be. his death
wound.
Beardsley was defiant today. When
reminded of his promise to surrender
he laughed and warned Deputy Tim
othy Van Cise, who carried messages
to him yesterday and today under a
flag of truce, not to approach the
house again under pain Of death.
The message carried to Beardsley
was Sheriff Anderson's ultimatum. 1t
said that unless the man surrendered
by 2.30 P. NJ. the place would be taken
by storm and that if Beardsley resist
ed he would be shot without mercy.
Let them come" was Beardsley's
answer.
When the hour for the threatened
raid came. Sheriff Anderson took no
action. He did not wish to waste the
lives of any of the deputies in cap
turing the fellow, he said. The fact
that q woman and nine children are
in the house at the mercy of the des-
perado and perhaps starving. was urg-
ed upon the sheriff as a reason for
immediate action. The sheriff finally
said he would order the attack.

ORDERED MOTORMAk TO
LOAD TRAIN AND DUMP
WITHOUT WEIGHING COAL

San Francisco. Jan. 15.-Edward
Meyer, chief weigher for the Western
Fuel Co. and one of the eight defend
ants in the governments fraud cases
now on trial in the United States dis
trict court here, instructed Joseph
Waterdoll, a motorman, to load his
train and dump it without weighing
the coal. This testimony was given
today by Waterdoll in support Of the
allegation that the Western Fuel Co.
gave short weight to the government
on customs dues on imported coal.
He said that before the Western
Fuel Co. acquired the Folsom Street
docks, there was fixed planking be-
tween the tracks. AS soon as the docks
were taken over, however, the planks
were pulled up so that coal falling
from the trains would tumble down
into the bunkers without being
weighed.
