PETITION FOR PARDON
To the Governor Of Mississippi:

To the Governor of Mississippi:
Your petitioners show that Naman
Webster was convicted at the Novem-
Der term, 1913, of the Circuit Court
of Lefiore County on a charge of muir
der, and given a life sentence, and
is now serving in the State Peni-
tertiary. Your petitioners are in
formed that Naman Webster has
made an exemplary convict, that he
has been obedient and industrious,
and has given the officials no trouble.
Your petitioners further show that he
is a young man of less than ordinary
intellect, that his mind is not bright,
and that he is hardly responsible
under the law for his act. Your peti-
TONERS further show that he is the
chief support of a widowed mother,
who needs his services, and we be-
lieve that the ends of justice have
been met by the Imprisonment he
has already undergone, and ask your
Excellency to grant him a pardon.
Respectfully,
NAMAN WEBSTER, ct al.

MRS. WILLIAM TUCKER

Her hundreds of friends all over
the city and county will be deeply
panied to learn that Mrs. William
Tucker died at 2:30 this afternoon at
the hospital, where she was taken
yesterday afternoon for treatment.
Mrs. Tucker, while rather feeble,
has enjoyed fair health for one of her
advanced years, and was able to
come out and take a ride in a car al
most every afternoon. Her death was
from a complication of troubles, with
advanced age probably the chief
cause.
Her husband, the late William
Tucker, preceded her to the other
world about five years ago.
Mrs. Tucker leaves two sons,
Messrs. Watterson and Edward Tuck
er of this city, and two married
daughters whose names we could not
learn, as the paper was going to
press when the news of Mrs. Tucker
death reached this office. No arrange
ments for the funeral had been made
at this writing.
The Star extends its sincere SYM
pathies to the bereaved family.

BOARD OF TRADE
A Good Attendance and Much Useful
Work Done at Friday Eve
ning's Meeting

The Board of Trade had very in
teresting meeting last night, there be-
ing greater attendance than at any
meeting for more than year. Much
interest was manifested in the dis
cussion of the proposed amendment
which the state tax commission is ad-
vocating to the tax commission law,
chapter $500 of the acts of 1913. A
motion was adopted approving the
measure, or a similar one, and the
representatives to the legislature
from Marion county are requested to
use their influence toward the passage
of such a measure at the next session
of the legislature.
The secretary stated that he had
conferred with Mr. L. N. Green with
regard to the extension of time re-
quested by the railroads for the erec-
tion of the union passenger station,
and that he had been informed that
the railroads had asked an extension
to May 1st, 1917, for the completion
of the same. He stated further that
this was in accord with agreements
made between Ocala people and the
railroads at the time the railroads
agreed to have the depot erected on
the south side of the tracks. 1t being
the sense of the Marion County Board
of Trade that the city council of Ocala
had been handling this matter, it was
decided that the board should take no
action.
Motion was adopted to have erected
a sign across Magnolia street from
the board of trade room to the build
ing opposite with the name marion
County Board of Trade" printed on
same.
Motion was adopted that the board
of trade should lend its assistance to
the civic committee of the Woman's
Club in getting up and promoting the
municipal Christmas tree.
Reference was made to the import
ance of having exhibit space reserved
at the Jacksonville fair and the
Tampa fair for our exhibits. No def
mite action was taken regarding the
matter.
Some discussion of the Florida First
advertising was entered into. Several
suggestions were offered as to good
method of advertising to follow up
this general advertising. It is very
likely that local ads. will be placed in
the newspapers in the more important
tourist towns of South Florida lit
tie later on although no action was
taken at this meeting.
