Relleview was invaded last Thurs
day morning by captains of finance,
merchant princes, eminent attorneys,
capitalists and lesser lights from
Ocala headed by that veteran, Mr..
Elmer DeCamp, who came down to
sell at public sale the assets of Gale
& Mott, bankrupts. Mr.. DeCamp
proved himself a past master in the
art of selling goods. He started in
and raised the hopes of number of
buyers by placing one lot of grocer
les and canned goods on the block.
The successful buyer could taste can
soups and all kinds of delicacies. The
only thing lacking was to send them
home. He then knocked down a
bunch Of drugs to the highest bidder
and that successful bidder could al
ready picture himself immune from
any disease for the balance of his
natural life. He then expiated upon
the glories of a whopping big bunch
Of hardware, plows, mattresses and
other stuff, and the man that got that
could picture all of the hardware for
a brand new home. And so he went,
! from drygoods to shoes and from
shoes to postcards, show cases and
valentines and when he wound up he
rudely shattered the hopes raised in
the bosoms of the successful bidders
| by stating that he would offer the
whole shooting match in one lump to
proved to be Mr.. Louis w. Duval, but
for the like of me cannot see what
Mr.. Duval is going to do with all
those goods in his business; however,
that doesn't concern me. Mr.. De-
Camp then led the crowd out into the
street where he knocked down to the
highest bidders equities in certain
lots and parcels of lands, lots, horses,
cows, sheep, hogs and other things.
Mr.. Why Pay More was there and
picked up a little bargain.
i Mr.. and Mrs. Phillip Fort from the
: eastern precincts of Gambler were
among the patrons of the grist mill
last Saturday morning.
Mr.. Hightower and Mr.. Tremere

J, Mrs. Earle A. Davenport made a
, business trip to Tampa last Friday.
Mr.. John E. Tremere writes from
Lake Winnepausaukee, N. H., stating
that they break camp on the 10TH
! will board the Chandler six and tour
leisurely down thru New Hampshire
Massachusetts and Connecticut to
New Haven, where he will take a
survey of the situation and plan his
winter itinerary.
| Miss Minnie Tremere is making
preparations to leave for Southern
College so as to be there on the
opening day.
Mr.. Sam Crawford of San Diego
Calf, Mr.. Charles Chairman of De-
j troit, Mich, the writer and Mr.. Ire
: mere motored down to Lake Weir and
) utilized two of the Converse bath
: houses for an hour or more last Mon
day afternoon. The visitors were en-
: chanted with the beauties of Lake
5 Weir, which attained the greatest
glory as the sun set in the west, and
: they declared that the sight equaleG
) anything of its kind they had ever
seen in this country or in Europe
{ The little towns on the opposite shore
, nesting close to the waters edge
with a background of green, caused
| them to rave over the beauties anc
i many advantages of Florida, Marion
: county and Lake Weir.

: Won't somebody please attend to this
little matter. A plentiful supply Of
wax paper should accompany this
t gift, for you know these boys have
not all the conveniences of home al
hand wherein to stick the little cue
of gum. They can't stick it under
the chair because they have no chairs
They can't stick them under the table
or behind the mirror because they
