MEETING
X. OF P. AT DUNNELLON

There was district meeting of the
K. of P. at Dunnellon Wednesday
night which was a great joy to all
those present.
There went from Ocala Knights
Go5er, Ferguson, Howell, Wetherbee,
Leavengood, Potter, Benjamin, jeff
coat, Goddard, Lancaster, Baxter,
Adams, Rilea, Vandervorst, Jones,
Boyer, Walter and Lee Priest; from
Reddick, L. S. Light Jr. and S. F. Rou;
from Inverness, G. w. Scoield. The
party went in the cars of Messrs. c.. B.
Howell, Frank Adams and Dallas
Jeffcoat, beside two hired cars, and
despite the singing cold had a good
trip both ways.

though it has not such an immense
number of members, it yields to none
IN its good works. The officers are

Dr.. Griffith, NJ. of Elk.
State Organizer Sassnet was also
with the party.
The Dunnellon Knights warmly
greeted their visiting brethren, and
a couple of hours passed in discus
sions for "the good of the order"
At 10 o'clock the knights were call
ed from labor to refreshment. The
Dunnellon men led their guests from
the hall, down the street and around
the corner to brightly Illuminated
room, where an array of well-laden
tables presided over by a bevy of
charming ladies gave bright promise
of most enjoyable hour.
It seems that the ladies of the Bap-
fist church were having a bazar, and
the Dunnellon knights enlisted. them

ting down of phosphate mines, and
many dreary months of business de-
preston.
Then another election was ordered,
and it would seem that from a bus
mess standpoint it certainly was the
time for Dunnellon to vote saloons in
again. They would bring people from
all over Citrus and Levy counties and
a good portion of Marion, to spend
lots of money, and what difference did
it make if they raised some hell on the
side Under the same circumstances,
almost any town would have voted wet.
Dunnellon's answer to the PROPOSE
ton was a three-to-one, and then
some, dry vote. On December z, the
ballots counted up n against selling
to "a for. Never to our knowledge
has a town SO emphatically stood up
for good against evil.
Even in her wild and woolly days,
Dunnellon was noted for hospitality,
neighborly helpfulness and public
spirit. These traits did not leave the
Phosphate City with the saloon.
Dunnell6n is a good town with a
splendid farming section around it.
The phosphate mines are bound to
reopen before many months, and then
it will be a better town than ever.

day in Jacksonville hoping to make
friends for his Tallahas-
see Democrat.
No member of the Star staff was in
Jacksonville on editors day." and
from all we can obtain from the is
sues of his paper, the editor of the
Democrat is as ignorant and untruth-
full in his other statements about Mr..
Knott as he is in this one. We never
waste any time trying to argue with
a man who devotes the columns of
his paper to spite work, and it is evil
dent that the editor of the Democrat
would make any kind of misstate-
ment that he thought would injure
Mr.. Knott. There is probably some
base motive behind his coarse and I'M
truthful viturperation, and whatever
it is time is certain to reveal it.

rem. They not only had most tempt
ing array of turkey, chicken, salad,
coffee and other good things, but the
sportsmen among the knights contri-
buted a large number of quail, which
were temptingly added to the menu.
The ladies who had charge of this
excellent supper were Mrs. R. c..
Black, Mrs. L. M. Kibler, Mrs. S. N.
Strange, Mrs. j. T. Rawls, Mrs. J. w.
Dean, Mrs. C. G. Lassiter, Mrs. Frank
Rice, Mrs. ]. D. Brace, Misses Vada
Stewart, Nellie Cocowitch, Ada Knight
and Louise Booze, the latter young lady
from Ocala, but much at home in Dun
Mellon. Their bright smiles and kind
~ solicitude greatly added to the
pleasure of the supper.
After the knights returned to their
hall. Cigars were lit and many bright
and witty sayings percolated thru the
smoke. A Star representative, on be-
ing called on for an expression, said
that from the gathering of knightly
brethren in the hall, and the presence
OF the ladies at the supper, it was
plain to him that Dunnellon was of
the salt of the earth, and the sugar
as well, and if he had his way it
was often trips to the Phosphate City
for him.
The meeting broke up about II, and
the visitors tried to keep themselves
warm by burning the wind on their
way home.
Dunnellon is one town which has
made monumental record in its de-
votion to morality. A few years ago,
Dunnellon, in the number of its sa-
looms, and the consequent disorder of
the hangers-on of those places, had
almost a frontier record. AS the
saloons attracted many people from
the adjoining counties, it was, from
the favorite standpoint of the liquor
men, the best of good business to
keep them running.
Then came the wet and dry election
of two years ago, in which Ocala
kept her saloons and Dunnellon voted
hers out. Immediately after this came
the breaking out of the war, the shut
