The position of Holland is beginning

Instead of the urgently needed goods,
more and more gold not to mention
$200,000,000 worth of credit paper,
has been sent to Holland by her bel

This is far more than she can en-

to ask, "if our productive capacity is

SLAUGHTER OF SWINE
Several Valuable Hogs Killed by an
Auto ScOrcher

Another accident, due to an auto
speeder's disregard of law and other
peoples rights, took place on Okla
waha avenue last evening.
Mr.. E. E. McLin and several of his
men were driving into town drove
of about sixty fine hogs. which were
to be shipped to Jacksonville on the
Seaboard, They were all fine hogs,
in the best of condition and had to be
driven very slowly Mr.. McLin and
his men kept them herded on one side
of the street, so they would not be in
the way of traffic.
About the time the head of the
drove was opposite the library, an
outward bound car came along at
considerable speed. 1t pIowed right
thru the drove Of hogs, knocking
them right and left. Four were kill
ed and at least twenty more or less
hurt. The man driving the auto
made no attempt to slow up, but
when the last hog was struck. it STOP
ped the car. 1t was a big hog, and
when the car tried to go over it, il
raised the front wheels off the ground
Beside the driver, there were sew
eral ladies in the car, so Mr.. McLin
suppressed his very natural resent
ment, and allowed the auto to go on
He did not recognize the man but
took the number of the car
-Four of the big, fine hogs were
either killed or so badly hurt they
had to be put out of their misery, and
several others were bruised and skin
ned so that they had to be taken back
to the farm.
The reckless autoist not only man
gled a number of Mr.. McLin's hogs
but gave the city a case against him
for speeding, for he was greatly ex-
ceeding the limit.

Many friends were shocked and
grieved this afternoon to hear of the
death of Mrs. w. T. Henderson of
Lynne, which occurred this afternoon
at two o'clock at the home of Mrs. A.
E. Holly.
Mrs. Henderson had been in very
poor health for several years and had
been confined to her room for the
past three weeks. Her devoted chill
dren brought her to Ocala this morn
ing, as she was anxious to be near
her physician, but the trip proved
too much for her, and her life pass
ed away two hours later. Three of
her five children were with her at
the time of her death, Miss Mamie
Henderson, Mr.. Edward Henderson
of Waldo and Mr.. Henry Henderson
of this city.
The funeral services will be held
Sunday morning at ten o'clock from
the Oklawaha Bridge church and the
remains will be laid to rest near her
husband who was buried in the old
family burying ground near Lynne
only few weeks ago.

I took a trip over to DeLand and
Lake Helen. Had lovely roads all the

find brick or asphalt roads. Another
thing which impressed me very much
