THE MARKETS
n. 27.-May wheat,

Charles Winton and Rev. Mcdonald
were visitors to Ocala last Saturday.
That man Quick from Gambler is a
whole-souled, good-natured sort of a
man, and his good nature and popular
ity are the only things that save him
from extinction. Last Saturday he
rolled into town at about fifty-mile
gait, stopped at Tremere's store and
after the usual hellos, feeling that his
radiator needed some water, he found
pail and tackled Tremere's gasoline
tank pump and filed his bucket. 1t
then developed that he had gasoline
instead of water, and he set up hol-
Ter which brought assistance. The
laugh was on Mr.. Quick.
Mrs. w. T. Evans came down from
Ocala last Friday afternoon to spend
the weekend with her family.
Practically the entire younger ele-
ment of the town assembled at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. w. S. Cogswell
last Friday evening and surprised
their hosts and then followed one of
the most enjoyable parties that has
even been held in Belleview. Cheer
fulness just seemed to run riot and
between games things to eat and such
other accoutrements as usually go to
make up a party of this kind. The
young people at late hour tore
themselves away from the happy
gathering. Miss Minnie Tremere and
Winton Hames pulled down the two
prizes for making or finding the most
words that could be spelled from
Belleview.
Miss Eleanor Tremer left on the
night train last Monday for Winter
Haven, where she will visit with Rev.
and Mrs. J. j. Thompson. Mr.. Thomp-
son was formerly pastor of the Meth
odist church here. Miss Miriam
Thompson is to take part in a musical
Wednesday night, which is the social
event of Winter Haven's winter sea
son.
Mr.. Edward Romer of Cleveland,
Ohio, who is one of Belleview's latest
settlers and who has bought a fine
piece of land on West Front street
and erected neat little cottage there
on, wants to keep in touch with the
happenings of Belleview and other
Marion county towns and cheerfully
planks down the coin to insure the
arrival of the Ocala Weekly Star in
his postofice box each and every
week.
Mr.. R. L. Sumner, the efficient Sea
board Air Line Railway agent, is kept
so busy these days that he does not
get chance to stir around and pick
up the news and wishing to keep in
touch with the current events Of the
day in and around Belleview is buy
ing one dollar and fifty cent share
of stock in the Ocala Weekly Star
which entities him to 50 papers, ir
succession one week after another.
A good friend on a good day gave
your scribe three fine wild ducks and
if ever there was fine eating and q
toothsome morsel it was those ducks
after Mrs. Tremere exercised her Gull.

Mr.. j. H. Benjamin, editor of the
Ocala Star, paid BeIleview a visit
last Sunday and hung his hat up al
the Tremere's during his stay. In
