BERLIN

Berlin, Oct. 3.-We are still hav-
ing dry weather and the farmers are
taking advantage of it to make lot
Of fine hay.
The corn crop in this section has
been extra good this year and / hope
to see good exhibit at the fair. This
is a good way to show up any neigh
Iborhood.
Mr.. Harry ]. McCully left for
Gainesville on Sept. 25th, to enter the
University of Florida to take a com
mercial course.
Mr.. Sebron Ferguson left for Bal
timore, Nd, on Sept. 27fh, 10 essire.-s
course in pharmacy.
S. ]. McCully disposed of fine
horse today.
Misses lone and Nan Hodges of
Irglis are the guests of Miss Louise
Grumpton.
Mrs. N A. Noble and children of
Morriston are spending several days
with Mrs. Mobiles parents, Mr.. and
4sli .. % d. nCOully.
This scribe has read with consid-
cradle interest the article from the
Shady correspondent, also the reply
from Prof. Brinson, which was rich
and spicy, also the criticism from
Belleview. So one suggestion calls
for another and / will offer Shady
few suggestions. This correspond
ence reminds me of fellow who was
seeking forgiveness at the altar. He
kept wailing and crying for some of
the brethren and sisters to pray for
him. Finally, the minister, becoming
disguised, suggested to the penitent
to pray for himself. So / would adj
wise these good people of Shady to do
something for themselves. Why don't
they create a sub-school district and
help pay some of these expenses? The
board was generous enough to build
them a nice, comfortable school house
two years ago. They did likewise for,
Fellowship. We needed well; did
We raise howl? No, we got together
and put our hands down in our pock-
cts and dug a well without asking the
board to contribute one cent, and
there is not a day that from one to
ten autoists do not stop to get water.
We also created a sub-school district
some fifteen years ago and assess
ourselves the full limit of three mills,
raising from $3.50 to s400 annually in
the district, and every cent goes in
cur school. This scribe would ike to
see every school in the county made
sub-school district and the millage
raised to five mills.
This being the end of the third
quarter, quite a number of old vets
are made happy by receiving their
pension money. They are certainly
deserving of this little compensation.
We certainly win be glad when the
7th of October gets here. Probably
the Knott-Catts controversy will cease
3r get worse.

IN MEMORY OF
MRS. j. I'll. LIVINGSTON
By the Woman's Auxiliary Union OF
the Baptist Church of OcaIa

Our sister, Mrs. ]. H. Livingston
having passed from this life to the
eternal home prepared for her by her
Savior, we grieVe for her but not as
those who have no hope of another
reunion in home where there will be
a greater love and better under
standing. We should emulate her
virtues in being always ready to adj
minister to the sick and needy, to
visit the poor and unfortunate, to
sympathize with the sad and trou-
bled.
She was strong in her convictions
and stood firmly for what she believ-
ed to be right. Always her pastors
friend, she was ready and willing to
be helper in her Sunday school and
church, feeling always that the Mas
ter's work was her work and her duty
A friend remarked in speaking of
her death she Thought it beautiful
passing from this life into the next;
she had finished a good days work,
had said her evening prayer, had
lain down to sleep and walked up with
her Father in heaven"
"We fancy when the day was Ger
Beside her bed she knelt once more.
And prayer, as oft before,
And when she was peacefully sleeping
And there was no sound of weeping,
No loved one hovered around her bed
And with aching heart whispered "she
is dead"
The God of love sent from above
A legion of angels to guide through
the night
Her pure spirit to regions of light,
Hor when soul without sickness or
pain is waited above
1t is only another evidence of Gods
great love"
We extend to the sons and daugh-
ters, the grandchildren and other rela.
tives our heartfelt sympathy.

Miss. Josie Williams,
Mrs. B. Stephens,
Mrs. A. L. Izlar,

SHOULD REGULATE
THE SHOE SINNERS

So much of nuisance have the
bootblacks become on the streets that
council last night took steps looking
to the passage of an ordinance to re-
quire bootblacks to- pay a small Ii
cense, and providing for their regula-
ton under the police department. It
was said that the bootblacks annoy
pedestrians by shouting at them, and
gather in groups in front of places of
business causing disturbance. City
Marshal Carter brought the matter to
the attention of council, saying that
complaints had been made to him. He
suggested small license and a fixed
stand for the bootblacks.

BROOKsvILLE WANTS TO BUY


An offer has come from Brooks
vile for the purchase of the old water
tower here, as soon as the new tower
is placed in service. According to
Engineer Henney the old tower can
not be used after the new one is in
service, because of the latter being so
much higher. He told council last
night that it would be advisable to
sell the old tower provided good
price could be obtained. Council re-
ferred the matter to the light and
water committee and Mr.. Henney, to
fix price and make an offer. 1t was
said that now would be most op-
perfume time to sell.

Sore eyes prevail in this neighbor-
hood and being no respecter of per-
sons, they gave our school ma'am
trouble last week and caused a short
age in the prescribed average for the
months attendance at school. The
school has forty pupils enrolled and a
| few attend who are not enrolled, be-
ing a little under school age. 1t is
impossible for US to send the advanc-
led class to Ocala, for different reas-
ons, and we are particularly anxious
to keep this grade up out here, as
otherwise these students will be cut
out of school at a very premature
time. We are hoping to furnish some
good teachers for the county and a
few are preparing to take examina-
tion for same in June.
We would be glad is some one would
give US some information about the
parent teacher club. Where can we
get literature on this subject We
shall appreciate hearing from some
one through the Star.
Mr.. S. II. Christian visited the
school Monday and spoke to the
teacher about enrolling, but never
brought any books, so he left, prom
ising to come again.

Miss Lorena Freeman of Jackson
vile is visiting Miss Lily Gaskins.

A nice mess of squirrels for break
fast reminds US that the hunting sea-
son is on, which fact the poor chick
ems ought to appreciate, and little
later pork season will be here, when
chicken necks will be practically safe,
as will also some little change for
bacon just now at 22c. per.
Mr.. Freeman of Belleview, be-
thought himself of some carpenters
tools he had over here and he and his
wife came over after them and spent
the day Wednesday with Mr.. and Mrs.
Zeb. Freeman.
Mr.. Leslie Horne was in Shady
Monday morning and he and Arthur
Douglas were figuring together to see
which could get the most profit out of
Arthur's big velvet bean field. Mr..
Horne is sending his two smart little
sons to Shady school.
We have had some fine weather for
haying time and some of the farmers
are cutting, raking up and hauling in
some good hay every day.
DR.. Purvis left Saturday on the
night train for Adair, Ga, to attend

. RIVER CROSSED AND RE-CROss-

Mystery today still surrounded the
numbers and movements of the Ru-
manian forces which crossed into Bull
garia near Rabeve in an effort to out
flank the Bulgarian left wing and
compel retreat. Sofia mentioned
these forces as comprising consider
able units" but recorded no meeting
Of opposing forces. Sofia supplement

bridge behind the Rumanians had been
destroyed with the statement that the
bridge was put out of commission at
the "Dobrudja side" by Austrian
miners. What the Rumanians have
done to keep up communications with
this force is unknown.
The Bulgarians are apparently
either engaged in frustrating another
Rumanian attempt to cross the Dam
ube or tried a crossing on their own
account. They reported the Bulgar-
ian occupation of Makaklafat, oppo-
site Vidan and the dispersal by artil-
lery fire of the Rumanians on the op-
posite side. Sofia reports indicated at
least mementary lessening of the
entente pressure on the Macedonian
fronts
