Last night, while Mrs II. NJ. Hamp-
ton was at the Temple, some person
took her car, which was standing in
front Of the theater and went joyrid-
ing in it. In trying to return the car
to its place, the party or parties ram
med the electric light pole at the Star
Office corner. The impact caused the
right forewheel of the car to mount
the sidewalk, and knock the awning
pole awry. One Of the auto lamps
was smashed, and the entire side Of
the car showed the effect Of the rough
treatment. Scared by the shock, the
miscreant skipped, leaving the engine
running Some auto expert coming
along later shut the engine of, but i
was so heated that when Mrs. Hamp-
ton returned home she had considera-
bic trouble with IT. The practice Of
some boys and young men IN running
off with cars left standing in front Of
the theater and even the churches at
night is becoming too prevalent. The
police committee should detail a plain
clothes man to look for the offenders.

In 1914 the Sharpshooter, of the
Mills Steamboat Line, hauled on the
Oklawaha river over $4,000 tons of
freight. This. vessel lost many thou
sand tons on the Little Oklawaha On
account of low water And low water
on the whole Oklawaha causes the
vessels now on the stream to lose
every year something like 100000
tons, and these vessels are of light
draft, too. In 1914 some 5000 tour
lists were taken over the Oklawaha
river route This year, 1915, over
5 900 tourists, aboard the City of
Ocala, the Silver Springs and the
will have gone over the
Oklawaha river route when the sea-
son closes in April.
At the present stages of water ov-
er thousand dollars worth of timber
is foated down the Oklawaha river
each week.
The city of Ocala, now oppressed
with inland rates, with her one yes
sci, the G.. A Carmichael, is hauling
from Jacksonville one cargo-three
carloads week. When the C. A
Carmichael is put in full trim it will
make three round trips each week be-
tween Jacksonville and Ocala, which
means for Ocala, by water, over 225
tons-nine carloads-per week This
vessel had to be made shallow draft
on account of low water, and three
or four carloads is the best it can do
on the trip.
The same company which owns the
G. A. Carmichael, the Silver Springs
Company, have gone to work to build
the vessel "Oklawaha, a sister ship to
the G. A. Carmichael. The Oklawaha
will be wider and a little longer than
the G. A. Carmichael; on account of
low water she cannot be made to take
any more depth of hold. The Ottawa

Captain E. L. Mills, owner of the

at Grabamville a sister ship to the
staunch Sharp Shooter-the Helkat.

than the Sharpshooter as she will be

OLD MARION GIVEN A BLACK EYE BY THE COLD
BUT NOT KNOCKED OUT

The temperature by the govern
ment thermometer in Ocala this
morning was 80. On elevated places
the mercury stood at 80. Frost was
plenty.
The Star has been busy all day long
consulting the farmers and truckers
who have come to town. Some of
them were much discouraged, ut the
majority say there is lot OF truck
left undamaged, with the likelihood
that there will yet be big spring
crop, tho of course it viii be later
than if there had been no frost.
The Star has consulted among
others Messrs. z. G. Chambliss, ]. H.
Meffert, S. R. Pyles and several
others who are in best position to

and those in their vicinity, they say

the watermelons that were up have.
gone the same way, but more than so
per cent of the crop isn't up yet. Less
than per cent of the cantaloupes are
up, SO that crop is practically safe.
President George Bitch of the
Commercial Bank has been telephon-
ing all over the county, and has re-
ceived reports optimistic rather than
otherwise. Wide areas, mostly high
ground, have escaped unscathed.
Crops recently worked have suffered,
while others right alongside them,
have not The cold glanced off all the
sheltered localities.
AS the beans in several gardens in
town escaped, it is probable that
good many country fields are also un-
hurt.
AS the farmers of this section have
adopted the policy of making staple
crops their main dependency this year,
they have not gone into trucking as
heavily as us,Fal. and are consequent
ly not so badly off as they might
have been in other years.
AT TT AGAIN
All the of the victims are ready to
renew the fight, and most Of the far
mers In town this morning were after
fresh seed. Never say die" is their
motto
Mr.. z. c. Chambliss has wired to
Miami for tomato plants, and will
have them set out as soon as they ar
rive. There are certainly lots of
others full of grit, but we haven't had
time to see them yet.
Life in Europe and America is just
taking one dam trench after another,

ORANGE BLOSSOMS UNHURT
Mr.. Bitch received a telephone
message this afternoon from Lake
Weir, saying the orange blossoms
were unhurt.
A phone message from Prof. j. L.
Wiley at Martin, says that a third of
the tomatoes were killed and the po-
tatoes badly singed, but he hope the
latter will come out all right. But the
Martin farmers are preparing to re-
plant, and will be as good as new in
few weeks.
