A Beautiful Garden.

Last week Mr.. Frank c. Hargett, of
Frederick, threw his beautiful flower
garden open to the public, the first night
being in honor of the Japanese Embassa-
dor and his wife who, with other nota-
bles, were present.
Mr.. Hargett has demonstrated to the
degree what can be done with back
yard in Transforming it from place of
little interest or beauty, to most lovely
bower of flowers arranged so skilfully
and artistically that every little nook
challenges your admiration.
Frederick ought to be proud of Mr..
Hargett for he has been so successful in
his raising of flowers and his ability to
"set them" that he is recognized by
florists of national reputation as not be-
ing an amateur any longer but profess
sional in his line.
1t was the writer's pleasure to visit
Mr.. Targets place and we can say that
any one from this town or community
should make it point to take peep
at this wonderful "back yard should
you 90 to Frederick in the near future.
Mr.. Hargett takes great pleasure in
showing his flowers to any one who may
be interested and you can be sure that
YOU will be welcome.

STAR GAZING

Messrs. H. VI. Hampton, r. S. Rog-
ers and r. r. Carroll went out to the
home of Mr.. Dalzell and Mr.. John
Michael, three miles west of town,
last night to look at the moon and
the big planet Jupiter, which is now
visible in the east during the early
part of the night, through Mr.. Mich
ael's large and powerful telescope.
The night was perfect and the plan
cts, as seen through the glass were
marvelously beautiful and distinct.
Jupiter looked as big as the full
moon, apparently, and the four or five
belts around the orb, as well as its
four moons or satellites, were plainly
visible. The moon, half full, was seen
at its best and is so large than it can
be seen all at once through the most
powerful of the several eyepieces
Mr.. Michael has for his glass.
Mr.. Michael made this glass him
self, ground and fitted all of the
lenses, and even made the machines
to grind them with. He is a most in
telligent, well read man, and an in
teresting talker and nothing gives
him or his nephew, Mr.. Dalzell, more
pleasure than to have friends come
out and study the heavenly bodies
through the big glass.

Lake county, not Eustis or Tavares

anything you can do. Work TO build

Senator Bitch of Bloxham-no,
poses as a democrat
and a prohibitionist, and we under
stand that he will also pose before
next years primaries as a candidate
for high state office. The Star has
seen a pamphlet which was circulated
among the negroes of Northwest Ma
rion county a few days before the re-
cent county division election. 1t had
no name signed to it-whoever issued
it wasn't brave enough to sign it
but it was evidently printed and dis
seminated by the authority and thru
the instrumentality of the campaign
committee of Bloxham, of which Sen
ator Bitch was a leading member.
The circular was one such as dem
ocrat would be ashamed to have any
thing to do with, and it was direct
attack on the w. C. T. U. of Marion
county. Senator Bitch will have
hard work disclaiming responsibility
for this circular the next time he
stands for Office.

One of the results of the war will
probably be that great deal more
gold will be put in circulation than
ever before. In Germany, the gold
which has been treasured in plate,
jewelry, ornaments and keepsakes is
being steadily turned into coin. The
French people, from the beginning of
the war, contributed their possessions
in the precious metals, and now gov
ernment agents are canvassing Great
Britain, trying to discover how much
gold is in the holding of each house
hold. 1t is said that there are vast
stores of gold in the Russian churches
IN the form of candlesticks and other
altar furnishings, contributions made
by the faithful during centuries, and
if the czar's government and church,
