"You take into your consideration
with such thoughtfulness concerning
them as you have cultivated, all the
elements, human and otherwise,
which might have bearing upon
your future, and from them you shape
your life toward what you believe Will
be your biggest happiness. Your rail-
ure or success in Your very marriage
will depend upon the intuitive wis
dom which you bring to bear upon
your overpowering problem OF SELF.
Just so your man Sledge works, and
if his entire environment and world
Is centered upon the problem OF ma.

that out of the struggle he Will
emerge victor. If political control

NOTICE
TO Kings Daughters and Sons

10 hIngs Daughters and Sons
A collector will ca1l during the
month of March. to collect dues for
the order and we trust that every
member will pay promptly. Never in
the history of the order has there
been greater demand for help, for
food, clothing, shoes, medicine, ETC.,
loni'account of the prevailing hard
times; work IS scarce, and with in
sufficient food and clothing, sickness
comes and the last or first resort is
the Kings Daughters. This is a
purely charitable organization, de-
pendent on its friends for support.
Our contributions were cut from one
half at Christmas time on which we
relied to help US carry on the work
and the demands are far greater than
before. With all the organizations
for church work, clubs and orders, do
not forget that the Kings Daughters
are trying to their utmost ability to
send and give here and there as re-
quests come from the poor, for they
are here in Ocala. We would be very
glad to have the men join US for they
are eligible. Can't we find fifty men
who will join US and pay their dues,
$1.2O year, 81 for the city, 1Oc for
the state and 10c for the national or
ganization with whom we affiliate? |
would like to state that every case is
investigated that is reported and that
every dime and dollar is looked after
by careful, intelligent and economical
ladies, who have been long in the
work. Will you help US and join with
us? Mrs. Bittinger.

directed a verdict for the defendant
Clark Ray Johnson Company, holding
that the commissioner of the land Of
fee was without proper power to make
the cancellation, and that the railroad
having complied with the grant, the
title passed as of the date of such
compliance, which was, the date of
filing map of definite location, in 1860.
The case was appealed by the Unit
ed States to the circuit court of ap-
peals, which court affirmed the judg-
ment of the district court.
The case is one of great Importance,
as there are number of persons sim
ilarly situated, and whose titles will
be affected by the decision. The effect
of it is. that the commissioner had no
right to make the cancellations. and
these cancellations being void, the
title still is in the purchasers under
the railroad company. There are
number of acres in Marion and Sum-
ter counties involved, and the decis-
ion will be Of great interest to persons
so involved.
The far-reaching influence of this
decision had it been different and re-
versed the lower court, would have
been almost beyond comprehension, as
the titles to thousands of innocent
holders of the lands in question would
have been void.
Mr.. H. NJ. Hampton has handled the
case since it was brought in the U. S.
