BELLEVIEW
City of Oaks Has Six Men Serving
Uncle Sam

Belleview, June 28.-Mr. Lawton
Sims listened to the Establishments of
Recruiting Officer Marsh and affixed
his signature to paper that makes
him member of the national guard.
He left here Saturday night for
Ocala, where he reported for duty.
Mr.. Rexford Fl. Nichols is another
of the late recruits to the Ocala Rifles,
making a little Belleview colony of
six at the state camp. We also un-
derstand that this recruiting bust
ness promises to break up the differ
ent ice delivery services now operat-
ing in this section.
After a lapse of a couple of years
our old townsman, Mr.. w. E. Abshire,
after trying out other neighborhoods,
has leased the John Hafner farm and
is once more a resident of BellevieW.
Mr.. r. S.. Rogers, the main guy of
the Ocala Elks, with Mr.. Louis Long,
the steward to the above named set
of people, passed thru Belleview last
Monday ON their return from an
evangelizing tour to the south of here.
They were carrying back to Ocala
several applications for membership
in the B. P. O.. E. and felt highly
elated at the rapid growth of this
worthy institution.
Mrs. L. L. Hopkins left for Bridge
port, Conn.,, on very short notice, ow-
ing to the illness of her sister, Mrs
Susan E. Parmalee.
Unbounded enthusiasm describes
the feelings of our people regarding
the 4th of July celebration to be held
here. The voluntary offerings for the
barbecue meat are pleasing to con-
template. There will be barbecued
beef, barbecued mutton, barbecued
hog and barbecued goat. There will
be no gophers. All kinds of refresh
ments will be on the grounds and we
have promise of many out-of-towners
to be present, to listen to the eagle
scream.
Everybody in town was glad to SCI

| notice the Star obligates itself t
furnish the Ocala Rifles with copie
Iof the Star throughout the campaign
This to my mind is one of the mos
delicate compliments that could b
paid to these boys, for it means a let
ter from home once every day
And if the country correspondents t
the Star can really take a hint, j
seems to me that this notice is
gentle invitation to them to spruce u
and write notes of interest to tn
boys at the front Tell them what j
going on at home, and especially item
that may interest the individual boy
from each section. Then as the Sta
lis unfolded from its wrapper eacl
lday, eager hands will seize it and de
your the news from home. What
great idea.
/ Every now and then the edito
comes out with a nice little article
complimenting his country CORES
Ipondents and making an appeal fo
more correspondents in certain com
n1unities. Let me say right here tina
this is one of the finest opportunitie
for young men and young women t
learn to write for the public. TIL
country correspondent list of tn
country newspaper is the kindergal
ten of newspaperdom. 1t is here ths
the young journalist tries himself on
and by the same token it is here i
tie columns of. the Weekly Star thu
many girl or boy can take their frs
step.
Another thing, now that our boy
