Mr.. j. H. Hutchinson and family

ly miss these good people as they

quaintances.

here have lately bought them and
hate to think of how they ever did

preaching service at the Methodist
church Sunday evening in Ocala.
There is a question in our minds
about the "short-sighted farmers"
killing more of their little feathered
friends than other people do. The
game law seems to fit in exactly
with the time when the people from
the north some down and the men in
the towns cheerfully go with them
ard show them where to find birds
and other game and as cheerfully kill
all they can. We heard of one man
in Ocala who bought one thousand
shells last week, thus preparing to
shoot to his hearts content. Every
body knows the farmers are too poor
for that. We could not buy that
many or take the time from the
eternal grind to shoot up that many
shells in three winters. o, you yam
KEGS and towns people! Now don't
kill the birds, but try to be satisfied
with larger game.
The good old country dinner on the
farm at Thanksgiving time, when the
good wife planned ahead for weeks
how much and how many good things
she could have, is passing away we
believe. And why? Well, the county
fair comes off during Thanksgiving
week and where all our relations and
their children used to go home for the
big feast now they all meet at the
fair and get together and eat nice
lunches together, hurriedly, lest they
miss some of the COINS on and enjoy
it just as much and more and we be-
lieve it is all for the best. We love
a lot of the good old customs of the
past, but we love some of the new
ideas better.
There are rumors in the air of we'd
ding bells in the near future but we
are told that the bells will be too far
off for US to hear as che" has gone to
another state for ''her." We wonder.
