LESLIE HORNE BURNED OUT

Mr.. and Mrs. Leslie Horne of York
have the sympathy of friends in the
loss of their home by fire Sunday
morning, Dec. 27. The fire originated
from heater in the bed room oc-
eupied by Mr.. Horne's sister about 8
o'clock, and in thirty minutes the
entire house and practically all of the
contents were consumed by the
flames. Mr.. and Mrs. Horne saved
only few pieces of clothing and sew
eral pieces of furniture in the front
part of the house. Miss Horne, who
was visiting her brother, lost every
thing except the dress she wore.
Mr.. and Mrs. Horne are now liv-
ing at his turpentine still, five miles
from York, where they lived before
they moved to Ocala, several years
ago.

"A PLEASING CORRECTION"

In its issue. of Tuesday, the Times
Union very courteously corrected its
illusions to the Star, made couple
of days previously, and adds:
1--WE admitted that we might be
mistaken as to the general attitude
of the Star and it turns out that we
were, and we hope this may lead the
Star to believe that it may have been
mistaken as to our general attitude
toward the president. We have never
condemned Mr.. Wilson for doing a
thing we would not have condemned
in Mr.. Underwood. Perhaps some
vigorous expression of our dissent
was taken by the Star as the type of
our feeling, just as we may have tax
en- some vigorous dissent of the Star
from our position as type of it's
feeling. We are glad to find we were
mistaken, for the Times Union is not
as careless of the opinion of the Star
as it thinks-and doubtless correctly
that President Wilson is of the
opinion of the Times Union"
1t is more than likely that if we
all understood each other there
would be very little dispute and no
i'll feeling. The Star has no doubt
that the Times Union always desires
the welfare and good government of
the country, and that when it differs
from the Star it is only on the means
to attain the end. President Wilson
is not a demi-god and his mistakes
should be criticised the Star asks
only that they be treated in the kind
~ spirit that it thinks is due to the
high character of the man. If the
Times-Union could see some of it's
criticisms of the president thru the
eyes of his friends, it would not won
der that they sometimes think it is
unjust. We viii only ask it to put
itself a little more in other peoples
places, and assure it that its express
sions will always be regarded by the
Star with the respect due to the sin
cere opinion of great newspaper,
which the Star would rather agree
with than criticise any day.

After the installation some time

the order" Several good addresses
were delivered, among them one from
State Attorney Scofield, who found
his first lodge home with the Odd

proceeded to Dewey's, where they en-
joyed one of the excellent suppers the

Benjamin's idea. If he had, he would
have known better than to let the
muzzle of the gun point at the baby.
That is the way we were instructed
and the way we have instructed
others, and it has always worked
well.
Why do Powell and Straub, and
some other people who show signs of
intelligence at other times, insist that
the Star has said that guns should be
given to children to play with? If
any man can find anything of the
sort in the files of the Star we will
pay his fare to and from Ocala and
give him ten dollars to boot.

As will be seen by the official re-
port elsewhere, Judge Bullock has
ordered the reference to Mr.. r. L.
Anderson in the presentment Of the
late grand jury expunged from the
records of the court. Without going
into any of the causes or merits of
the dispute, it seemed to the Star at
the time, and we have heard it stated
by many citizens, that the grand jury
went out of its province in alluding
to this matter, and the action of
Judge Bullock will meet widespread
commentator.

ocALA cHERo-coLA COMPANY

Mr.. w. n. Lane of Georgia, is in
the city to get ready for opening bus
mess for the Chero-Cola Company
Mr.. Lanes family will arrive in a
few days, as will his partners, and
their families, Mr.. R. E. Layton and
another gentleman, whose name we
did not learn. "Ten good Georgia
crackers" to be added to our city's
population, as Mr.. Lane expressed it.
The machinery for the Chero-Cola
Bottling Company has been in the A.
c. L. depot in this city for the past
several weeks, and will be placed in
it's new location and the company
ready for business within thirty days
Those who are posted on bottling
works machinery, say the machinery
here to be used by this company is
the finest they have ever seen, and
certainly it is of the latest make and
the most improved and labor saving
of its kind.
Mr.. Lane will have charge of the
selling end OF the business and says
he will make the territory, covering
it thoroughly in an automobile truck
and will deliver his goods by truck to
all of the nearer places.
Mr.. Layton, an experienced bother
and Office man, will have charge OF
the manufacturing and accounting
end of the business.
The gentlemen have put their own
money into the enterprise and expect
to make a big success of it. In other
localities the chero-cola drink has
been big seller, and they expect to
make it equally as popular here. The
general manager of the advertising
department of the head Office of the
Chero-Cola Company will spend a
month with them as soon as they are
open for business and help them get
their advertising campaign started.
As this paper stated some time
since, it looks like there will be
something doing in the bottling bust
ness in Ocala.

It has been suggested that Kitchen
er's new army might land in Belgium
and take the western line of German
Notifications in the rear, and the
plan is so obviously proper that it is
more than probable that the Germans
are expecting it. If the forward move
merlt that the French are making in
Alsace goes much further, they are
likely to soon be in position to turn
the German line from the other end.
That intrenched battle across north
ern France will see some changes
soon.

removed couple of county officials
who were under charges. But he has
failed thus far to do what is so plain
" his duty the removal of the men

It seems to the Star like. the gov

the misuse of public funds seems
trivial.

1T WAS IRREVELANT
Judge Bullock Ordered Grand Jury

plunged from the Record

Judge Bullock Ordered Grand Jury
Reference to r. L. Anderson Ex-
plunged from the Record
In the Circuit Court of the Fifth Judi
cial Circuit of Florida, in and for
Marion County.
To the Honorable w. S. Bullock. the
Judge of Said Court:
Comes now the undersigned, R. L.
Anderson, in his individual right, and
also as a member of the bar and an
officer of this court, and shows to the
court as follows:
That the grand jury impaneled and
serving at the present fall term of
this court in general presentment
which has been filed and has become
a part of the record of this court, in
serted and included in such general
presentment the following, to-wit:
owe endeavored to locate and find
who was at fault with reference to
lost notices in connection with the
paving certificates issued by the city
of Ocala against the property of r.
L. Anderson, but have been unable
to place the blame on any particular
party. 1t occurs to US that a wealthy
citizen of progressive city like
Ocala should possess enough patriot
ism and interest of the government
under which he lives at heart enough
to pay for these public improvements
without taking the matter into court. .
Which said words above quoted re-
fer to certain matters litigated in
this court between the city of Ocala
and the said r. L. Anderson.
Thereupon the said r. L. Anderson
moves the court that the said portion
of such general presentment as above
quoted be expunged from the records
of this court, and that an order be
entered sxpunging the same.
The grounds of said motion are as
follows:
1. That the matters referred to
in said paragraph of the general pre-
sentiment above quoted relate to
suit now pending in this court be-
tween the city of Ocala and the said
Anderson, as to which any expression
of opinion on the part of the grand
jury is not, only irrevelant and inn
pertinent, but is an attempted inter-
ference by that body in pending liti-
cation in this court, and is entirely
outside of the proper duty or func-
ton of grand jury.
2. The insertion of said matter in
said general presentment is a palpa-
bic attempt to abuse and degrade the
proper Office and function of a grand
jury of this court.
8. The said grand jury was with
out power or authority to make such.
private affairs the subject of their
criticism, the same being matters in
which the public has no such inter-
est as would warrant said action.
4. That said act of the grand jury
is an evil precedent, and tends to de-
grade and prostitute the process of
the court to merely personal and pri-
vate uses. r. L. Anderson,
In Proper Person.
Upon presentation of the above
motion the following order was
made:
This motion is sustained on the
third ground, and that part of the re-
port of the grand jury quoted in the
motion is expunged from the report,
and does not form part thereof.
