ing on hearing of the death of Mrs.
Henry G. Gatrell Jr., a bride of two
months, who before her marriage was
Miss Lora Brooks, niece of Mrs. w.
w. Clyatt of this city and daughter
of Mr.. Sumter Brooks of Fellowship.
Mrs. Gatrell was taken i'll with infiu-
enza only a week ago and her hus-

was decided this morning to bring
Mrs. Gatrell to Ocala to the hospital.
This decision, however, was of no

INCREASE YOUR BUSINESS

Many people who own no cattle are
not interested in cattle tick eradica-
tian but if they will inform them
selves they will become interested and
vote for it on Nov. 5th..
H. T. Cory, for Secretary Lane, of
the United States Department of the
Interior, has been making survey of
the southern states, spending some
time in Florida. making report on
conditions looking to providing homes
for soldiers when the war is over.
The United States Department of
Agriculture is making special efforts
to increase meat production, especial
ly cattle. What show, before these
authorities, will that state or that
county have which votes against
eradication of ticks which these very
departments of the government are
spending millions of dollars to eradi-
cate.
We want to do more business and
ned more people to make it. Land
values in Alabama and Georgia, where
ticks have already been eradicated,
have quadruples in value. Not only
land owners are benefited but farm
ers who own no cattle, merchants and
| bankers and BARRIERS and laborers
are benefited by the new business pro-
| duced by the new owners OF these
lands and the large amount of new
money which they put into circulation.
Mississippi, perhaps, was the most
backward southern state until it be-
came the first to make state wide
vote for cattle tick eradication and
this one act has filled it with new
people, put inspiration into old resi-
dents, won a grand championship ut
the international Stock Show in Chi
cago and topped the st. Louis market
with each a trainload of steers and
hogs. Some of the most important
| live stock men in the United States
are now residents of the once back
ward Mississippi.
No better advertisement could be
bought with money than for the
| Farmers National Congress, which
will be in session in Jacksonville Dec
3rd to 5th, to be informed that Mar
ion county has voted in favor OF com
pulsory cattle tick eradication. They
will carry back the news to all parts
!. of the United States and people Will
be attracted to Marion as progress
siye county. And besides, the gov,
. ernment agencies, above mentioned
will put this county on the favored
: list and it will be published as
place fit for cattle raising.
u / own but few cattle and it is not
| as a cattle owner but as bushes.
man that call your attention TO tn
opportunity you will have to do on
| county good at the coming genera
election.
Vote for tick eradication.

horses paid no attention to the mill

Galloped over to the picket line of the
First cavalry. their old rendezvous.
Many of the horses took positions in
front of the tents Of officers and SOL
diers who have ridden them for years.
An alarm was spread and the cavalry
men were compelled to corral their
former dumb associates and drive
them back to the remount station.

recruit had been told off us orderly.

officer was he poked his head in and
bluntly inquired:

the officer exclaimed:
"Why the deuce don't you introduce
yourself in proper manner? Sit
down." he added, "and will show you
how to report yourself"
The "rookie" seated himself and the
officer, proceeding to the entrance,
walked briskly into the tent, saluted,
and said:
"Orderly for the day, sir. Have you
any orders for me?
The recruit calmly picked up the dis

WONDER WORDS OF RUSSIANS
Faverite Phrase That ,ans Happi-
ness and Peace for Which They
Have So Long Struggled.

II am going to try to teach my read
ers six Russian words" writes William
G. Shepherd in Eyerybody's. ''The first
is 'tavarish.' It means 'collrade.' There
used to be a law in Russia against
using it! The French in their revolu-
ton, meant about the same thing when
they said 'citoyen.' It is word you
hear thousand times day, every
where.
"tMir bez annexi contributzi.'
These are the other 1ve words. You
hear them as we in the United States
hear our latest slang phrases. The
Russians use them as we once used
the phrase, sixteen to one,' or safety
first They mean mo anneyations and
no contributions Every RUSSIAN lost
in his happy wonderland, full of the
new joy Of life, means, when he uses
these words, to say, This world is a
more beautiful place than L had ever
thought. Let us all be brothers and
help each other to enjoy it, instead
of fighting to make slaves of each
other and to drive the beauty and hap
piness out of life.'
''There is something infinitely pa
thetic in their faces when you say to
Russian, Yes. Your idea is fine.
But what Of the Germansg
''In vain the Russians have stood
their front md cried to the Germans.
All the rest of the world is listening,
except the Germans, to that Russian
call to happiness and peace:
'Tavarish! Mir bez annex con-
tributzi r"
