Mrs. McNash was looking up vague
ly, but her thoughts were still far
away, and this outpouring of speech
near at hand meant little to her.
Juanita, as she finished her wild
peroration, fell suddenly to trembling.
Her strength seemed to have gone
out Of her words. Her knees seemed
too weak to support her. and for the
first time in her life, as she looked
into the face of Anse Havey. ominous-
ly blanched with rage, she was physi-
cally afraid of man.
His eyes seemed to pierce her with
the stabs Of rapiers, and in his quiet
self-repression was something omi-
nous. For moment he did not permit
himself to speak. then he thrust a
chair forward and said in a level,
toneless sort Of voice: IF ye're all
through now. mebby ye'd better sit
down. Such eloquence as that's liable
ter tire We out right smartly."
The girl made no move to take the
chair, and Anse Havey took one step
forward and pointed to It.. This time
his voice came quick and sharp, like
the crack Of = mule.whip.
"sit down. tell ye! I've got just
a few words ter say my own SELF"

That Cause Il.
II you have catarrh and want to get
rid Of It you must kill the germs which
cause catarrh. Stomach dosing, oint-
ments, sprays, creams. douches, ETC.,
fail because they overlook this fact.
They all help by giving temporary re-
lief, but they do not reach the germ life
that has found Judgment in your head,
nose, throat and could not destroy it If
they did.
:. The best known way of destroying
the dangerous germs of catarrh and
consequently ending the disease itself
is to breathe into the air passages of
Iyour nose and throat the pleasant, PEN
,letrating air Of Hyomei pronounced
HiRh-o-me). Hyomei is made from
oil Of Eucalyptus combined with other
powerful healing, antiseptic and germi-
cidal ingredients. You breathe It thru
a little hard rubber pocket inhaler
which comes with every complete treat
ment. Every time you finale the sweet
fragrant air Of Hyomei thru this little
device you are drawing into your swol-
len. inflamed, germ-laden membranes

shal,town, and many other leading drug
eists in this vicinity are so sure Of the
blessed lasting relief that Hyomei
brings to catarrh sufferers that they
sell it Invariably on a positive guaran-
tee that money will be refunded II sue
cessful results are not secured from its
use. Right now, while you nave the
matter in mind, tear out this notice and
take It into your druggist the next time

complete Hyomei outfit which includes

breathe the Hyomei way up into the air
passages and you can begin at once
to drive this dangerous disgusting dis-
ease from your system forever.

The Ocala evening star., 1915-06-26

Our good friend of the Ocala Star
is advised that the writer of the edi-
torial in the Telegraph regarding the
convict farm is not altogether famil-
lar with the 0cala section and based
his interrogatories on the story of a
farm somewhere in Marion county
that a few years ago sank deep below
the surface. We are ready to admit
that Ocala is one of the prettiest and
most progressive towns in Florida,
surrounded by splendid fruit growing
and agricultural lands. So far as the
Marion Farms are concerned, we are
advised that this is a fine property.
The area is undoubtedly too small for
the maintenance of 200 to ], 500 con-
victs, and it is possible that the acre
age bought in Bradford county for a
convict farm is unnecessarily large. 1t
is quite impossible to have all public
matters transacted just to suit the
judgment of ALL At all events, it is
unnecessary for the Star and the Tel
egraph to fall out over the Lindsay

lands embraced in the Bradford coun-
ty purchase is concerned the report
was grossly misleading. There are
no finer lands in Florida than those
bought by the state in the county for
convict farm. Superintendent Pur-
Wis, who has always been partial to
the Marion Farms property, will bear
out this statement Tele-
graph.
All right, Gene; well forgive you
this time; be more careful the next
one. You depart from your custom
ary policy when you make uncautious
statements. Regarding the Marion
county farm that you say few years
ago sank deep below the surface, al
though we have lived and helped
chronicle the news of this section for
nearly % years, we never heard of it.
Some years ago, few square feet of
ground caved in, taking with it cor
ner of a house. If there has been any
other "sink" of like extent in the
county, we did not hear of it.

WORK FOR THE FAIR

The following letter was addressed
by Mrs. Caroline Moorhead, superin-
tendent of the domestic department of
the Marion County Fair Association,
to each of her assistants:
Dear Co-Workers: AS time is so
rapidly passing / am reminded of our
obligation to the Marion County Fair
Association, and to the people of our
county in general.
You have been named as one of my
co-workers, and it becomes our united
duty to work with hearty will to the
end that the fair of 1915 will be the
very best held in the history of our
county.
In view of this we must not pro-
crastinate, but begin right now by
soliciting exhibits and doing all in
our power to create a spirit of ad-
vancement In soliciting don't fail to
make light of all the exhibits prom
ised. Let us lend our every influence
toward bringing together this and the
adjoining counties in one great gath
ering of our people and let the object
of this meeting be to enjoy the dis
play of products from our county IN
all lines-domestic, agricultural and
educational, interviewer with the
higher arts and spiced with innocent
amusements.
Remember that inasmuch as your
name is one of those on which much
depends, you should not neglect this
your solemn obligation to the success
of the fair of 1915.
Mr.. A. c. Cobb has recently been
elected secretary of the association,
which fact is most encouraging and
meets with the approval of all those
interested in the success of the fair.

The Star is sorry to learn that the
Florida railroad has financial trou-
bles. 1t is really and truly a Florida
road, built by Florida men. 1t was
the intention of the men who built it
to build into Fernandina. This would
have given that city another railroad,
and would have given the road a sea-
port. The men who control the Sea
board and thru the Seaboard the i'm
portant port of Fernandina, did not
want any competition, so they made a
fight against the little homemade
railway, and they seem to have pre-
vailed. If the business men of North
Florida had combined for the help of
that useful railway they could have
enabled it to build into Fernandina
which would have been the best thing
they could have done for themselves
They sat still and let the big corpora
ton shut out the little one, and now
they also will stay shut out.
