The great state OF Texas has risen
in her majesty and might and i'm
peached its governor. A governor
must be responsible to the people He
must not override their wishes. He
must net overstep the boundaries of
his duties. He must remember that
there are three coordinate but sepa-
rate departments OF government and
he must keep well within his own
domain. To use a familiar term,
he must shiny on his own side"
The legislative and judicial depart
ments have their own functions to
perform.

THE GOVERNOR AWAY FROM

There is an element in this state
who would have the outside world
believe that we elected rough-neck
to the office Of governor, and are now
They create the impression abroad
that we are setting UP nights here in
Florida plying the poor state on &C
count of the shame and disgrace a
hoodlum governor has brought upon
us, when as a fatter of fact the only
humiliation Florida feels on account
of Cats is due to his flushing large
covey of political birds who are now
seeking to befoul their own nest-the
bunch of narrow-minded, envious and
bigoted political Lilliputians. who
have not the manhood to gracefully
accept defeat. but are still nursing
their crouch against the governor and
his friends because he was placed in
office over their protest.
We are therefore glad when the
governor journeys beyond the bor-
ders of the state, because his manly
bearing, his broad intellectual Ca
pacity and his general behavior al
ways leaves an impression that be-
lies his traducers at home. Not long
ago the governor was in staid and
precise old Virginia city, and was in
vited to preach. DR.. Cecil v. Cook,
pastor of the church where the COVER
nor preached, wrote the following ac-
count OF the service to the Baptist
World, published at Louisville, KY:
"The First Baptist Church Of
Charlottesville. Va, had a most
unique and altogether delightful ex-
perience a few Sundays age. Few

OUR FATHER GONE.

I'm Memory of w. w. Roberts.)
Gone from the home that was once
so gay,
Daddy steps out so brave and gay,
And leaves us lonesome, lonesome
every day.
In this home we find each day
Richest blessings he slowed away.
There to give Jus ere We stray
If we keep them night and day
When to bed we take our flight,
We dream of his sweet face all night,
But in the morning when we wake
We find our mother all alone.
When in that east room we come to
look,
We find daddy only in the picture
book,
We wiring our hands and turn away.
And look to God to guide us all the
day.
We loved him, yes we loved him.
But Jesus loved him more;
He called him from this life of duty
To his home on the celestial shore.
We fancy we can see him
AS on Jordan's banks he stands.
Pleading with us, to come to him,
Waiting with outstretched hands.
Daddy's heart just seemed to lock,
His breath came slow, and slower
stih,
Until he went to answer the Masters
will.
We count the time as the hour goes
The break in our circle no one knows
The days and weeks are gliding by
We long to meet him bye and bye.

You will wonder why you wept;
You yill know by wise love tonight
That there is all, and here is naught

SOCIAL CONDITIONS IN AN IN
TEREsTiNG COMMUNITY.
(Peter StanIey.)


Our cattle men are gathering an
other few cars of beef cattle this
week The. cattle industry in this
section of Marion county ranks
among one of the leading industries
of the county. 1t is said that there
will be mo fence" law for Marion
county enacted next legislature. 1t
may be. 1t is quite possible that the
western section of the county needs
it. With this section-east of the
Seaboard Railroads.&c. well adapted
to Open-range stock raising and so
poorly adapted for developed agri-
cultural purposes, generally speak
ing, it has been suggested and the
suggestion seems to be a reasonable
one, that the Seaboard railroad
through Marion county be consider
ed dividing line and that an ample
stock fence be built along the east
ern boundary of this road and main
tanned.
Mrs. Julia e. Thomas and son,
Frank Thomas, have just returned
from a months visit with friends and
relatives at Lochloosa and Island
Grove, just across the county line in
Alachua county. They report a good
time, and say the people a those sec
lions are all apparently prosperous
and contented and happy; that they
seem to have made plenty of the me-
cessities of life and are Flooding
along in the even tenor of their way.
Little Miss Julian Martin had the
misfortune to stick a nail in her foot
last week and has been QUIT of
school. She is getting all right again.
Mr.. and Mrs. C. d. Turner, pros
perouus Pinites," have purchased
beautiful home in the elite residence
section of Ocala. This does not
mean that we are to lose these peo-
pie as citizens of Pine, as they will
keep and maintain their home here
also, but have purchased the Ocala
property for the purpose of giving
their children the benefit of the Ocala
schools and church facilities. Mr..
Turner is one of our large stock rails
ers and is quite able to enjoy such
advantages.
We understand that Mr. Willis
Hall is making good selling sewing
machines. 1t is said that he is hand
ling a very fine model and that it
almost sells at sight. With Ford
car he is covering the territory rap
idly.
We understand that the ladies OF
Pine are going to organize a day-a
week patriotic club; that they pro-
and do sewing for the soldiers in
France. This is a commendable move
ment and should be patronized by
every lady in the community. This
is a time when people MUST lay
aside personalities, prejudices; So
cial. religious or political differences
-EVERYTHING-and come together
in concrete, united effort to do "our
bit" for the country and the boys
who are offering themselves as sac
rifice for freedom and democracy!
BY AN means let the ladies organize.
And let the men-who are MEN
support the movement. w. J. Bryan
says: "The only way QUIT of this war
is straight through it." Truer words
have not been spoken. And he is one
of the champions of PEACE.

MARION couNTY's ANNUAL
FAIR.

Everybody in the county is urged
+, to begin preparations to make the
Tenth Annual Fair the biggest in one
in our history.
Everybody will Do His or Her Part.
! In a personal letter to the editor
of this paper from Mrs. Anna Twee-
| dy, the indefatigable secretary of our
fair association, we quote the follow
ing:
Il want everything to get busy pre-
pairing for this fair, which is to be
the biggest and best that Marion
county has ever known.
There is but short time now in
which to make our preparations, and
we just begin and keep at it,
Ills is a strenuous year. All over
our land wonderful things are being
accomplished in wonderfully short
period of time.
LET us get the spirit of the times
as fair workers, and work earnestly
quickly and efficiently for a big sue
cess. remembering it is ours to work
and wait and put up a good fight to
do our best each in our allotted place
The question, what can | do to
help you make the fair a success :?
has been asked repeatedly of the sec
rotary lately, showing how earnest
and willing the general public are
to join the fair workers to push the
fair to a successful issue this year.
$50 earnest have been these re-
quests to be permitted to help in the
office work or at the fair, that it is
most encouraging.
A number have said, Use me any
where you can, | want to help Some
of these workers have proven their
efficiency in helping to make out
over 2,100 fair premium lists and in
necessary copying work, showing that
the offer of service was most sincere
and convincing me that there are
still soldiers in Ocala, and that not
all will ever wear the uniform.
And to the superintendent and
committeeman I wish to say that if
you will begin to talk and work for
the fair, you will be surprised how
anxious the people wiwll be to come
| to YOUR aid There never has haeu so
many people anxious and willing to
do their part as now
This has been demonstrated in
the fact as war conditions made in
roads on my working force and rob-
! bed me of some of the faithful stand
bys, and L have made these condi-
lions known, and requested others
to fiji 1.-The vacancies, they have con-
sented in the spirit Of volunteers.
And while we will miss the faithful
ones who have gone, it is inspiring
to know that no good cause will ever
suffer for lack of workers so long as
the present spirit keeps UP.
J. "As fair workers we have nothing
to discourage, and much to encourage
u.s. So let us work with a will and
we cannot fail
Yours for service
MRS. A. TWEEDY,
Secretary"

It has been such very long time since our community notes appeared in your columns that no doubt many people have for gotten our existance. Perhaps it is because our people have been so busy of late, that no more has been said of us. But now that our years work IS about finished we expect to come back with our social work again. However, some of our good prosperous farmers are not ready to go into winter quarters until they have put in their share of fall oats and wheat, all of which show that we are in thorough accord with the present food administration.

NEW REAL ESTATE FIRM
The Lilly-Crain Agency
 Opens Ohice in Brinfley.

That Brinkley is growing and jumping in leaps and bounds. is evidenced in many ways, but there is no surer sign of our prosperity than the success of the men who sell and deal in real estate.
 Brinkley now has another live real estate firm-the Lilly < Grain Agency, who have opened offices in the Greenlee building. The manager of the Brinkley office is MT. w. A. Grain, an ex- perienced realty man, who has been dealing in land for sever- al years in Eastern Arkansas. He has with him. in charge of the office, his wife, who is also a business woman.
 Their ad appears in this weeks ARGUS. Read it.
 I repeat, what 1 have frequent ly written for print, that one of most valuable helpers in the de- veloping of both country and city is the live real estate agents and it would be greatly to the advantage of Brinkley if we had a dozen real busy realty agents. Pm glad to see them open up and succeed in Brinkley and every Brinkleyite should help 'em all along.

Possibility of Human Voice.

It is said that the singing of Jenny Lind once spurred q bird perched in a tree to sing in attempted rivalry 1; perhaps cantatrice who could sing in the tenth octave would bring forth a concert of voices from the crickets and katydids, while lifting her human hearers into a new heaven of har- mony.
