The Groover-Stewart Drug Co. of
Jacksonville takes exceptions to the
expressions used by the Star in it's
recent item in regard to the purchase
at its store of nitric acid, supposed to
have been used by the man who tried
to destroy the Ocala high school roof.
1t seems to the Star that the Grower
Stewart Go. is drawing it rather fine;
however, we have no objection to say
ing that we do not want to reflect on
the drug company in the least, as it
would seem from what some of our
citizens tell US that the said drug
company is doing all it can to assist
the authorities to identify the GRIM
inal.

ganized in Buffum school house, UNI
der the direction of Rev. Robert
Jones, who is employed by the Flor
ida Baptist Mission Board to do mis-
sion work in this section. The at
tendance, interest and enthusiasm in
the school have gone far beyond the
highest hopes of those in the lead.
A teacher-training class with seven
members has been organized. This
is something unusual, perhaps UNI
heard of before, a number of teach
ers in training, working for their di-
plomas, in young, country mission
Sunday school, not mothered by a
church. Those experienced in the
work and who have had much OBJ
servation, say that they have not
seen more systematic or orderly
school in the county.
Mr.. Jones also holds services reg
ularly at Surveyors lake, Sand Lake
and Lake Ann. The latter place is
the new saw mill town on the Sea-
board running from Barlow to Lake
Wales Only a few months ago this
was all in the wild woods; now a
row, perhaps half mile long, of
lmodernly constructed bungalows,
occupied by fine class of people,
and the largest saw mill in this sec
ton of Florida, are to be seen. This
is in tht famous Polk Lake and Gar
field section, where are located the
Lake Garfield Nurseries, a smaller
saw-mill and hundreds of acres in
orange groves, all these enterprises
giving employment to hundreds of
people. Right here in the heart of
the good old county of Polk.
