The Star is sorry to say that Ocala
is about to lose Mr.. and Mrs. H. w.
Hoffman. Mr.. Hoffman, who has been
acting as bookkeeper in the CONNER
cial Bank, leaves tomorrow or next
day for Waynesville, N. c., in which
live town he has secured fine posi-
ton. Mrs. Hoffman will follow in a
few weeks. Mr.. Hoffman is top SER
geant in the Marion County Guards,

q
Mrs. j. F. Pedrick is Marion
county mother who fairly lives in the
thought of her boys. She has three
in the service, Tracy in the navy, who
has several times crossed the Allan
tic, and arriving in home, port the
other day sends his mother most
encouraging letter Of his experiences.
Two other boys are in the army-one
at Camp Wheeler and one at Camp
Oglethorpe, both of whom hope soon
to be sent to the front.
Among the victories for which the
women of American are hoping and
praying, victory over the liquor
question seems now in our grasp. The
women of the w. C. T. u. of Ocala
today are rejoicing over the victory
which came to US yesterday in Nassau
county, when the county was voted
dry. There are now fourteen states
which have been made dry by consti-
tutional amendment and we believe
Florida will fall in line in November.

In the picture play, Cali Wom-
an" at the Temple last night Mae
Marsh presented the subject in the
manner to be expected of sunshiny,
loving, energetic character. Mae
Marsh gets closer to people than al
most any other actress on the movie
stage. Kathlyn Williams. who we
would call an old favorite, only she
isn't old, will help present 'The Thing
We Love" this evening, and with the
feature will be chapter of the pat
riotic serial, "a Daughter of Uncle
SAM"
The members of the fire depart.
ment and the Boy Scouts thank Miss
Maude Keeffe for mending the rent
in the city flag. So many ladies offer
ed to mend the flag that Chief Cham
bers felt like he was embarrassed
with riches. Miss Keeffe, however,
who is the efficient young lady cashier
at the Court Pharmacy, was right
next to the flag, so it was turned over
to her when it was lowered last eve
ming and she had it bright and ready
for hosting this morning. Chief
Chambers asks the Star to thank all
the other patriotic volunteers.
