BELLEVIEW


Belleview, Nov. ELECTION day
passed off in Belleview just like it did
in every little town all over the Unit
ed States. Quietness prevailed and
good feeling permeated the atmos-
phere. 1t was interesting to watch
the count of the ballots. One earn
est soul feeling bound that Mr.. w. w.
Stripping had to be elected single
shotted his ballot by voting for him
alone and by so doing he certainly as
sured the election of STRIPPING.
Another person feeling that the
whole thing depended on his ballot
and that the Office of clerk of the
court was the most important one
on the whole ballot single-shotted his
ballot for Perry III. Nugent, therefore
it shows that there were two per-
sons in Belleview precinct who place
Perry Fl. Nugent and w. w. Strip
ling above the whole lot of candi-
dates. There was plent of surprises
in store at this particular count, the
same as there was at other places.
From talks that / have heard this is
the most sadly mixed up election that
Florida has seen in great many
years. However, it will all come out
straight in the wash and after the
excitement is over we will all settle
down to the every day affairs of life.
Cane grinding is the order of the
day and while I'm on this subject and
the planting season draws nigh, it
behooves the farmer to plan himself
a business campaign for the follow
year. No one loses money by plant
ing sugar cane. The syrup fetches the
cash. No one loses money by plant
ing oats by planting a good variety
it is the easiest thing in the world
to make yom own seed and sell your
surplus at $1.00 per bushel.
There is great possibilities in corn
and cotton. They fetch the cash,
whereas melons, tomatoes, canta-
Il upes and other truck fetch unpaid
fertilizer bills, unpaid store bills and
hard living for the youngsters.
Mr.. Powell representing the Con-
soiidated Naval Stores Co., of Jack
sonvllle, was business visitor in the
town last Thursday.
Mr.. M. w. Foxworth and Mr.. T. E.
Jaeksn made a business trip to
Jacksonville last week.
Mr.. and Mrs. v. D. Pratt, of Wild
wood spent the week end in town.
Mrs. |. /. Strong, of Wildwood,
made her regular week end visit to
Belleview, returning home Sunday
eight.
Mrs. G. D. Washburns and Miss
Emma Washburn, of Ocala, spent sew
eral days in town visiting friends.
Mr.. and Mrs. G. E. Crosby and fam
ly of Union, Ala, have rented the

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. S.-Raising
POLE cats for their fur is the unique,
not to say precarious, enterprise

who makes a specially of capturing

Being a practiced hunter of the
dreaded little animal with the famous
smell, the farmer finds mother skunk
with a litter Of kittens, Stays the
mother skunk and takes the kittens
lone and removes the glands where
they secret their poison"
When this is done, the raising of the
kittens to be grown cats is compare

ing farmer, who claims that a pole
cat kitten will soon become as tame as
an ordinary domestic cat.

NINE MILLION CHINESE
ARE ALIEN RESIDENTS

PEKING, Oct. 3.--Nine million
Chinese subjects are living outside of
Chinese territory according to census
just compiled by the ministry of COM
merce and agriculture India has at
tcacted more Chinese than any single
country. The census shows that there
are 100000 Chinese in India, while
Cochin-China ranks second with L.
100000 Chinese. About the same num-
Der have settled in Siam, where they
practically control important business
and have become immensely wealthy.
Five hundred thousand Chinese are
living in Siberia, and the same number
are in the Malacca Peninsula. Hong
kong, an English economy, shelters
300 900 Chinese and 100000 are living
in Gambia and Mexico.
The census estimates that 100000
Chinese are residing in the United
States and Europe, but no estimate is
given as to the exact number in the
United States.
