MRS. D. NJ. SMITH

Our little city was shocked and
saddened this morning to learn that
Mrs. D. NJ. Smith had passed away at
her home on South Second street at
midnight last night.
The news of her death was unex-
pected, for altho Mrs. Smith had been
in feeble health for several months,
no one but her closest relatives su-
spected how i'll she was. Her indom-
liable will kept her up. and only ten
days before her death she made at the
meeting of the Woman's Club an ad-
dress on american Art" that requir-
ed much careful study TO give.
Mrs. Smith, or miss JESSIE" as all
her friends called her, was a woman
who impressed her personality on our
little town. She came here from ST.
Louis, Mo-, when girl some time in
the eighties. About dozen years ago,
she became the wife of our good old
fellow citizen, DIR. Smith. Always,
from her childhood, she has been a
person of active and decided char.
acter. Having read deeply the works
of the best authors, she was exceed
ingly well informed, and was quite
an authority herself on questions of
art and history. She was a member
of the Daughters of the Confederacy
and the Woman's Club and good
worker for both. She always threw
herself heart and soul into any cause
she espoused, and there never was any
doubt on which side she stood on any
question. She was a warmhearted
and faithful friend, always willing to
do anything in her power for those
she loved or esteemed. Generous,
kind and brave, she made in the
hearts of all who knew her a place
that can never be filled.
The death of Mrs. Smith is a sore
bereavement to her husband, to whom
she has been good comrade as well
as wife these past dozen years. She
was an enthusiastic lover of sports
and travel, and together they toured
the north and west, standing side by
side to shoot big game; also, visiting
the most famous scenery and art CEN
tiers of Europe. Besides DIR. Smith,
Mrs. Smiths only relatives in the city
are her brother and wife, Mr.. and
Mrs. G. T. Maughs. and her niece,
Mrs. W. M. Wagnon, of Tampa. Her
stepson, Lieut.. v. M. Smith, to whom
she was devoted, and her dearly be-
loved nephew, Merton Mann were
both too far away to be sent for to
attend the funeral.
The last services for Mrs. Smith
will be held at her home at 5 O'Clock
this afternoon, and interment will bs
made in Greenwood.

CLOSING THE CAMPAIGS

Since the primary was instituted
the Star has net known such small
crowd to be out to greet the county
candidates on the last night before
election, as there was Monday eve
ming. Not more than $50 people were
present.
The meeting, however, was quite.
interesting. The two candidates for
the state senate, Messrs. Crosby and
Howell, those for representative, Fort,
McCully, Light, Folks and R&ysors
Scofeld and Stringer for state attor-
ney, and Congressman Clark, all made.
able and interesting talks, and their
audience remained with them until
the end, which was almost midnight.
Of the local candidates, the people.
were most interested In Scofield and
Stringer, who had quite little verbal
setto. Most of those who heard it
seem to think MIR. Scofield had rather
the better of it. There are very few
men in the state able to get away with
George Scofeld In an arguement. Mr..
Stringer presented his side OF the.
case with ability, however.
Congressman Clark was the big
gun and didn't open fire until the little
fellows were thru. By this timeait was.
late, but Mr.. Clark held the crowd
with the exception of few early
birds who reluctantly wended their
way homeward Mr. Clark, as usual,
made a good talk, with lot of gem
era1 information as well as argument
for himself He was warmly ap-
plauded. AS far as the voters are
concerned, there was no need of Mr..
Clark coming to Marion county, but
the people appreciate his visit.

Dc YOUR DUTY.
Let Your Motto Be: 81 Am Doing NV
Best TO Help Uncle Sam
Win the War;

The United States government at
Washington expects everyone to do,
his duty, whether he be soldier, sailor.
industrial. worker, farmer or farm
hand.
There are a few misguided people
in this community, it is reported, VINO
seem to. thiak that e5ght or nine
hours constitute days work or. a.
farm and that one, two or three days
work a week is enougb-enough for
their own selfish, personal needs, per-
haps- Those who persisE in that err
roneous idea are shakers, and are
hereby warned that a. continuance of
such trifing will not be tolerated.
says VIM. Grant Wilson, travelling ex-
aminer for the United States depart
ment of labor, for Florida.
A full days work and full time each
and every week Is expected and will
be, exacted from every ahe-bodied
person, at least during the period of
! the war.
Food is of the greatest Importance
in winning the war and as it will take
the concerted and continuous efforts
of every person to produce Sufficient
food, any person not helping in the
1 production OF food Tor other needful
occupation) to the full extent of his
! ability is a positive detriment to the
lcountry and should be compelled to do
his part.
The noteworthy aid to the cause by
the many thousands of noble women
and children of Florida, Mr.. Wilson
observes, is to be commended in the
highest terms. They are to be seen al
every hand on the countless farms
throughout the state, doing not only
their. bit but their best-blessed are
the women and the children.
It is Mr.. Wilson'S earnest desire
that every well-wisher for the caus,
