manded.Y The store has been prettily
finished inside with dark green wall
paper and light or buff ceilings. The
big show windows, in each of which he
has piano displayed, have been
handsomely finished with hardwood
floors. The outside or front of the
store has been painted in attractive
manner and all together Mr.. Lattner's
new quarters are credit to his busi-
ness and enable him to properly dis
play and care for his large stock of
instruments.
Both he and his assistant, Mr. G.

new quarters and believe that they
will benefit not only in convenience,
but financially by the change.

REDDICK IS HOLDING
IT'S END UP
Smart Little Town a Leader in Mar
ion County Industry


Among the prominent Marion coun-
ty citizens IN Ocala today is Mr.. C. M.
earn, one of the moving spirits in ev-
erything for the advancement of Red
dick in particular and the county in
general. In conversation with Star
reporter he said that Reddick's latest
venture, the peanut butter factory,
was proving a success beyond even
the expectations of its originators.
The factory is running full blast
and its product is being sold as rap
idly as It can turn out the goods. The
entire product of the factory is being
handled by Jacksonville jobbers, and
the trade is daily growing into a
solid substantial asset.
At present the goods are packed in
small glasses for the small consumer
and in large tin buckets for the bulk
consumer. In comparison with the
product of other manufacturers OF
this now recognized staple article the
Reddiek concerns output shows up
most favorably.
Besides being a splendid financial
venture for those interested directly
in the manufacture of peanut butter
it furnished a certain outlet at good
prices for the peanuts raised all over
this section. which makes it double
blessing to the community.
If Marion county had more indus.
tries of this nature, and there is q
great many undeveloped possibilities
along the same line, there would be
less complaint when money matters
become stringent in other sections OF
the country.

A
GAME FIGHT
BEATEN FROM THE START, THE
POOR OLD NIGER DID
HIS BEST

Havana, April 6.-Opinion on all
sides today is that the championship
fight yesterday was the most decisive
since James Corbett defeated John l..
Sullivan at New Orleans in 1892.
johnson collapsed completely in the
twentieth round After the twenty
fourth round, Jack said, pitifully, "I'm
gone; can't go much further"
His seconds tried to buoy him up,
but at the end of the twenty-fifth, the
negro said, ''Tell my wife she had bet
ter leave for / cant go much further,
and don't want her to see this" She
turned deathly pale when his message
was delivered to her, and was escorted
from the ringside.
The fight was on the level johnson
trying for every inch and putting up
an amazing fight for a man his age
and miserable physical condition. The
negro all but put Willard out in the
seventh, but his blows afterward
lacked force, and became. weaker and
weaker.
When Johnson was counted out, the
first man into the ring noted that one
of the negro's eyes pointed upward,
the other downward, something no
shamming man could do. The muscles
of his arms and legs were quivering.
Dazed and weak, the negro finally
rose and lurched toward Willard to
continue the battle, but McVey led
him away, saying, "Its all over, Jack"
Willard goes to New Orleans for a
theatrical engagement. johnson is
undecided as to his movement, but viii
