At THE COURTHOUSE
THIS EVENING
Representative Citizens Will Confer
With Board of Trade on Preserv-
ing 0cklawaha Valley
Railroad

The board of trade meeting set for
this evening will be held at the
courthouse, and every business man
of the city, and if possible every citi-
zen, should be present.
A number of representative men
from the communities along the Ock-
lawaha Valley railroad are coming to
the city to attend the meeting and
confer with our citizens on methods
to prevent the Ocklawaha Valley
railroad from suspending operations.
The Star hopes the meeting will be
well attended and some method will
be advised by which the little railroad
will be kept open.
This road has always been one of
the Stars pet enterprises. It boosted
for it years before it was built, saw
it's beginning with gladness and
watched it's completion with pride,
and deeply regrets the prospect of it's
suspension.
We think that if the people of
Ocala and Palatka and the towns be-
tween will pledge the road certain
amount of business, it will be kept in
operation. 1t will be to the advant-
age of all, particularly Ocala, to dc
this.

Mr.. Tibbitts made a good address,
which was listened to with great in.
terest. We wish the relatives and
friends of every Marion county sol

The campaign is now on for Marion
county to raise its quota of $1,000. The
pastors will present the matter to
their congregations Sunday morning.
The committees will begin work in
the city Monday, to ask contributions,
and early next week Rev. Bunyan
Stephens and Mr.. w. T. Gary will go
out in the county to enlist the sympa-
thy of the country people.

love and justice and civilization were
still checked by the long prepared
forces serving the powers of brutal
domination, oppression and barbarity.
They knew that efforts were still nee
essary. They wished to give up their
generous hearts and they have not
forgotten old historical memories
while others forget more recent ones.
They ignored nothing of the circum-
stances, and nothing had been con-
cealed from them-neither the length
and hardships of war nor the vio-
lence of battle nor the dreadfulness
Of new weapons, nor the perfidy Of
the foe. Nothing stopped them. They
accepted the hard and strenuous life.
They crossed the ocean at great
peril; they took their places on the
front by our side, and they have fal-
len facing the foe in hard and des-
perate hand TO hand fight. Honor to
them. Their families, friends and fell
low citizens viii be proud when they
learn of their deaths.
"Meni These graves, the first to be
dug in our national soil and only a
short distance from the. enemy, are
as mark of the mighty land we and
our allies firmly cling to in the COM
mon task, confirming the will of the
people and the American to fight with
us until the enemy is forever driven
from it. Thus the deaths of these
humble soldiers appears to us with
extraordinary grandeur.
"We ask that these soldiers be left
with us; be left on our soil so that
we may inscribe on lasting tablets:
Here lie the first American soldiers
to die for France Men will stop and
shed tear perhaps. Men viii come
from afar to see this spot. Private

you'll God receive your soulsl Fare

1T WILL BE A GREAT EVENT

It may be possible that some of
those who will exhibit at the Marion
County Fair do not know about the
fair at Jacksonville later on.
In recent communication from B.
K. Hanafourde, the general manager
of the Florida State Fair and Exposi-
tion, he says:
"The Florida State Fair is to be
the greatest annual agricultural and
live stock event in the southeast. the
permanent exhibit buildings are be-
ing erected. | believe that nearly
every county in the state will be rep
resented. A special building 200 feet
long, entitled, Florida Counties" will
house the agricultural and industrial
resources of Florida.
"The premium list is good one,
and the premiums offered for the
competition of Florida counties are
especially attractive, divided into six
splendid awards: First $500; second
$500; third, 5000, and fourth, fifth
and sixth, 500 each. Besides this a
$50 solid silver cup will be awarded
the winning county"
We would like to see the winners al
the Marion County Fair plan to &C
further and carry off some of the
awards at the state fair. Also Mar.
ion could be the banner county of the
state if all of our exhibitors will de-
their part. The State Fair dates art
Feb. 26th to March 9th inclusive.

A despondent view of the outlook is
