PRESBYTERIANS INSTALLED
THEIR NEW PASTOR

The Ocala Presbyterians had most
impressive services at the installa-
ton of their new pastor, Rev. ]. R.
Herndon, Sunday morning.
A large congregation was present,
and the sermon by the former pastor,
the Rev. w. Fl. Dodge, was heard
with deep attention. Mr.. Dodge and
his Ocala friends were happy indeed
in again meeting each other.
The charge of the pastor was de-
livered by Rev. j. G. Anderson of
Gainesville, and the charge to the
congregation by Rev. A. j. Knox of
Dunnellon. The music was specially
beautiful, including an anthem by the
choir and solo by Miss Downs.
At the conclusion of the services,
Mr.. Herndon pronounced the benedic-
ton, and officially entered on his pas
torate, which all his friends hope
will be lengthy and prosperous one.

OLD NEGRO KILLED

An old negro, named George Camp
bell, was killed on the borders of
Marshall swamp, ten or twelve miles
southeast of here; a little before day
light Saturday morning.
CampbelPs two sons, a grown man
and a boy, who were with him, said
they all went possum hunting. They
were in the swamp, and the old man,
in their wagon, was on the borden
some two or three hundred yards
away, when they heard shot. Going
to their father, they found him dead
He had been hit in the head by a
rife bullet.
Sheriff Galloway went to the scene
of the killing, but found no reason to
make arrests. A coroner's inquest
will be held today.
Mr.. Galloway says it is rather pc
culiar for people to hunt possums
with a wagon, and perhaps some of
the dead mans neighbors thought he
was after their hogs, and he was the
victim of their mistake or his uncon-
ventional style of hunting.

GOLDEN RULE CIRCLE

The Golden Rule Circle of the
Kings Daughters in North Ocala
celebrated its first anniversary Oct.
21st. The circle was organized Oct.
18th, 1914, but for several reasons it
was more convenient for them to use
the regular monthly meeting day.
Mrs. C. L. Bittinger, who organized
the circle, was invited to be present,
with the secretary from the Kings
Daughters of Ocala, Mrs. W. w.
Clyatt.
The devotional services were open
ed by prayer by the president, Mrs.
c. L. Simmons, followed by singing.
Each member responded to the lead
er's questions and also all in unison,
using the service of the Kings
Daughters prescribed by the interna-
tional order.
The business meeting was called to
order. Minutes of the last meeting
were read and approved, followed by
report of yearly work. The circle
consists of fourteen members. Month

was as follows: Earned S88, $40 of

their pleasure in being able to be

ton of their work, who in their quiet
unobstrusive way are working fol
