GOOD WORK IN ST. LUCIE

Secretary Rooney has received the
following testimony to Mrs. Moore
heads good work on the East Coast:
Fort Pierce, Fla, Sept. g., 1915.
Dear Sir: / want to assure you
that l more than appreciate having
Mrs. Moorehead visit US and make
experiments with pineapple and by
this time you probably know what
wonderful success we had from Mrs.
Moorehead herself.
Mrs. Moorehead is a wonderful wo-
man and i wish that we might have
her permanently in our county for a
leader in the same kind Of work.
Our county commissioners last
month made an appropriation for a
county demonstration agent of $500
beside $1,000 for canker investigation
so it is not policy to ask for canning
club reader yet, but Mrs. Moorehead's
visit and demonstration to some of
our people will bear good fruit and
no doubt next year we will have can
ming clubs started here, thanks to
Marion county's progressiveness and
Mrs. Moorehead's generosity in spend
ing her vacation in st. Lucie county.

Secretary Board Of Trade.

EUREKA

Eureka, Sept. 14.-Judging from the
dilapidated condition of the bridge
over Mill creek, on the Orange
Springs and Eureka road, our COM
missioners are probably waiting for
some serious accident to occur TO life,
limb or property before they attempt
to make the necessary repairs, and
insure safety. Already one horse has
had narrow escape from having both
forelegs broken. Why not repair the
bridge and prevent a more serious
damage with the result of suit for
damages against the county that
would amount to twice, probably
three times the actual cost of such a
bridge. Substantially built.

FIGHT AMONG
THE FINANCIERS
AUSTRO-GERMAN AGENTS TRY
ING TO PREVENT AN AMERI-
CAN LOAN TO THE
ALLIES

New York, Sept. 15.-The Anglo
French financial commissioners today
heard that German agents, alarmed
by the momentum being gained by the
billion dollar loan proposition, had
instituted a countryside campaign
against it. Some of these agents, the
commissioners heard, were men active
in spreading the German propaganda
when DIR. Dernberg was in the coun-
try.
One proposal is to attempt to float
half a million dollar German loan, to
make it difficult or impossible to
make the Allies loan. The United
States, it is believed, could not
handle two such loans. Another threat
is of heavy Withdrawals from any
bank participating.
The campaign to persuade bankers
from not participating in an allied
loan is symtematized to a remarkable
degree. a flood of protests is coming
into the New York banks.

PICNIC AT PINE

On Saturday September II, the
good people of Pine, and surrounding
vicinity, enjoyed an all day picnic. The
day was ideal and everything passed
off most pleasantly. J. ID. Rooney, Of
Ocala, was master of ceremonies.
The first thing on the program was
instrumental music, with Mrs. Carlton
at the piano, Mr.. Keplinger, violinist
and Mrs. Ben Grantham with the
bango. The music was excellent and
added much to the enjoyment Of the
occasion. Some Of the grand old
songs were most beautifully rendered.
The whole picnic was a treat from
the owner Of the big grove there, Mr..
John Kendig. Everything was free
TO the crowd, even the iced tea, and
delicious ice cold lemonade, both of
which were prepared in quantities,
for the day was hot and the crowd
thirsty.
One very enjoyable number on the
program was a selection by Miss Isa-
belle Burton Of Sparr. This was en-
titled "Uncle Moses Country Eggs"
and was greatly enjoyed.
Mr.. Jack McCully made an interest
ing talk on different phases Of agri-
culture. He says he now has lbs
boys in the Marion County Corn
Club. In 1914 he vaecinated 1895 hogs
with cholera serum and nearly all Of

Mr.. and Mrs. B. F. Mathews, of Ia
coma, were guests to dinner of Mrs.
V. p. Smith last Wednesday.
We have been reading closely the
pros and cons of Bloxham county in
the Star and Courier, and we are
afraid if Mr.. Benjamin waits until
some one tells him they have heard
any of the Willistonites tell anybody
that the story of Marion county being
bonded to build a road to Silver
Springs was started by an irresponsi-
bic person it will be after the elec-
ton. For we can truly say they have
talked for hours trying to make peo-
pie, who knew better, believe IL was
true. We also note that the Courier
never prints any matter in favor of
Marion county. But no doubt they
are afraid for their Bloxhamites to
read any thing against it for fear
they would at once see the falsity of
their arguments and change and be
staunch supporters of Marion county.

AUSTRO-GERMAN DRIVE
IS ALMOST OVER
IN THE EAST HAS BEEN CUT FROM FIVE
MILES TO ONE A DAY
(AssOciated Press)

London, Sept 15.-Although Hin
denberg's cavalry is astride the Petro-
grad railway and the Germans have
made large captures of prisoners and
guns in Courland, the Russians are
again countering these efforts, not
only by checking the attempts of Aus
trians TO resume the offensive in
Galicia, but by infiicting another re-
verse on the Austro-German forces in
the same vicinity.
Svientsiany, where the German cav
airy has cut the railroad, is half way
between Wilma and Dvinsk, and about
400 miles from Petrograd. The Rus
slams assert this raid has formed a
dangerous salient in the Russian line
of which the Germans are likely to
take advantage. Its clear, whatever
strategic move may be involved in
advance, that recent events indicate
the near approach of an important en-
gamement in the Wilma region predict
ed a fortnight ago by General Pol
ivanoff, minister of war. The German
armies operating on both sides of the
Neimen have not yet formed q juno
ton and the Russian rear guard is
still withdrawing.
Russian military writer's are warn
ing the people not to expect too much
from recent Galician successes.

LIGHT AND WATER
PLANT LOCATIONS
Paper Presented by President Meffert
to the Citizens Mass Meeting
Monday Night

In Saturday mornings issue the
Banner comments in its enthusiastic
manner on the location of the light
and water plant near the Taylor
Pond, on the city's lot of IA acres.
The Banner says that lot was pur-
chased several years ago for this pur-
pose. That may all be true, but it
should not BE sufficient reason that
it is at all suitable. / know of one
gentleman who served on the council
who has changed his views, although
iC would be of great benefit to him
if the plant was located on this
property, as it would enhance the
value of adjoining property which he
owns. He gave good reasons why
he did not favor the location. If in
quiry were made there might be 9TH
er councilmen who changed their opin-
ion. As to room for expansion for
other municipal owned utilities, per-
maps Stii lSC piSlllI anu gas lStNIOl q
beautiful park and swimming pool; a
fine picture, / can almost see people
swimming in the pool now-ideal for
creation-Taylor Pond, to where
drainage from greatest part of the
city continues to flow.
While the purchase of this property
from which Ocala expects to draw her
water supply, for which it is absolute
ly unsuitable, it is of great value
otherwise.
First; for its lime and flint rock, as
there is a great supply of this ma
terial exposed to plain view of which
the city is in great need, being locat-
ed conveniently, it will save the city
hundreds of dollars every year. Of
course, there should be an electric
driven crusher plant installed in or
der to prepare the material in a suit
able condition for all purposes.
Second; it is valuable as a dumping
grounds for the city. Everything i'm
aginable has been dumped in there
for many years, and this is a great
saving for the city, owing to the
short haul of garbage. All the
drainage from the eastern part of the
city, from South Second street to the
Atlantic Coast Line, from the public
square to the Seaboard Air Line, the
volume of water and solid matter
that eventually finds its way into this
pond, can only be appreciated by any
eye witness during and right after q
heavy rain. The water after seeping
| through the garbage and everything
imaginable finds its way through the
! big sink into subterranean channels
possibly to the drinking water from
which the city would draw its supply
if the plant is located on the proper

San Benito, Texas, Sept. 15.-The
day the Mexicans begin the celebration
of the anniversary of independence in
Mexico was ushered in with disturbed
conditions here and firing into Simon,
a town near Laredo. Reports that
Mexicans would attack this town caus-
ed heavy patrol of soldiers to be
sent here. If the attack was intended
the Mexicans changed their plans,
probably because of the soldiers. Cav
airy and infantry are to remain sew

the border have been strengthened and

The firm of Bryan & Co. of Jack

Bids of G. w. Ensign, Stamm &
Son, Whaley & Edwards and Duval &
Ashworth were incomplete. All other
bids were complete and according to
contract.
The bid of the Jacksonville firm was
so low that it surprised everybody,
and some expressed themselves as be-
ing afraid that it was too low for good
work.
Messrs. r. l.. West and ]. c. Cook
Of the McCrary CO., however, called at
the Star Office today and informed the
the contract will be we'll carried out.
Mr.. Cook says he would rather the
lid had been higher, as the less the
bid, the less commission his firm
would receive. He says, however, that
Bryan & Co. have been at work in
Florida for twenty years and have
most successfully carried out many
large contracts in this and othe.
states. They are familiar with local
conditions and if they lose on this bid,
they will carry out their contract, just
the same.
Mr.. Cook says that in a few days
the McCrary Company will have one
of its most competent men here, and
from that time on the work will be
carefully and rapidly carried out, and
that Ocala may count on its sewerage
system being in good working order
in 240 days from today.

The vote shows that there never
has been any demand for a new coun-
ty outside of Williston and immediate
vicinity. Northwest Marion, the
wrongs of whose people were so tear
fully held up before the Legislature,
and which Williston fondly believed
was a hotbed of secession, voted
against division almost en- masse.
Every Marion precinct voted to stay
at home, and in only one-Flemington
did the divisionists make even a
showing. Blitchton, Cotton Plant and
Geiger will have to draw straws to de-
eide which shall have the blue ribbon
for loyalty. Romeo and Fairfield did
mighty well, and even Pennington
gave old Marion a vote she can be
proud of.

riston showed that they are safe and
sane communities, with no desire to
be showed off into pocket-size counties.

STAR BORE THE STANDARD

The Star is proud of the victory,
because from the first it made the
fight it own, and never let up until it
was won. The Star could fight coun-
ty division with a good conscience. 1t
had been aware for years that the
grievances, and it had repeatedly re-
buked the remainder of the county for
its Indifference. So when the cam
paign began, the people of the north
west knew the Star was no eleventh
hour friend. 1t has many readers in
that section, some of whom have been
taking the weekly ever since it was
started over eighteen years ago. And
all thru the campaign it has had con-
slant evidence that the people appre-
ciated the stand it took. Before the
fight was a month old, it knew ma
jority of the people of the northwest
were going to stand by old Marion.
The Star has also many longtime
friends in Levy, particularly in Mont
brook and Morriston. 1t was tolerably
sure those communities would prove
sheet-anchors of sanity, and the result
shows its forecast was correct.
SETTLED FOR KEEPS
The Star is glad the fight is over;
it is also glad it has been made. 1t
has settled the question for keeps. In
the face of Tuesdays vote, it will be
a long time before any bunch of self
seeking politicians will go before the
legislature with an attempt to cut off
one of the best sections of Marion
county.
Marion is one of the best and big
gest counties in the state. 1t needn't
be any bigger, but we must keep it
one of the best. Now we have decided
to stay together, let US work together
