Monday evening, October 28th, at
|7:30 o'clock, Mr.. Marcellus Wilkinson
and Miss Marguerite Frances Long
were united in marriage at the resi-
dence of the Episcopal minister. Rev.
Samuel Ward. The wedding was not
made conspicuous, only the immediate
members of the brides family wit
Messing the marriage.
The bride is the youngest daughter
of our popular mayor, Frank NJ. Long,
who has been prominent in the af-

years. The groom comes from one of
the first families of Louisiana, owning
large interests in sugar plantations,

We are glad to Sc the Tampa Times
coming in on the campaign against
the Mariana reform school. Several
years ago, the Times and the Star
were almost alone in denouncing Gov
|ernor (now Senator) Trammell for
his slackness in not removing the
trustees of the school, whose negli-
gence was responsible for the burning
|alive of eight inmates of the school
The Times, like the Star, found that
not only the governor but the people
in general of the state didn't care
what became of the boys, so it quit in
disgust. It remains to be seen if the
people are as careless now as they
were five years ago.

Some weeks ago, the Star charged
that the move to put the ten-mill
amendment through was being "gum-
shoed," and Mr.. Brinson made indig-
nant denial of the statement. Proof
of what the Star said was given last
week in letter sent out by State
Superintendent Sheats. Said letter be-
gan as. follows:

State of Florida.
Tallahassee, October "a.
Let every school officer, teacher and
friend of the public schools in Florida
get busy!
The close-mouthed policy suggested
by the committee on resolutions at a
teachers summer school last August
must be abandoned instantly, or the
10-mill amendment to Section of
Article XII. of the state constitution
will be lost at the polls on Nov. 5th.

We do not know how the ten-mili
amendment will fare at the hands of
the voters today, but whether it sue
ceeds or fails, we will always be glad
we fought it. Success or failure does
not count with us in our support of or
opposition to any man or measure
When we have considered the differ
ent sides of question, and decided
which, to the best of our judgment, is
the right, we go ahead. We had not
supposed when we first commented on
the ten-mill tax that we were going
to arouse such storm of opposition
and abuse. 1t did not take us long
to find out that we were bucking a
political machine and very unscru-
pulous one at that. Taking ten dol
lars from the public school funds of
each county to carry on the campaign
with, was barefaced steal and the
fact that the state teachers associa-
ton made request for this swipe
from the school revenue shows that
the teachers of Florida need to attend
q class of instruction in political NOR
atty. The young ladies who mostly
make up the teaching force of Florida,
of course, didn't know they were do
ing wrong in supporting such meas
ure. But some man, who should have
known better, and probably did, in
PRODUCED the measure and the others
voted for it. Now, if the teachers OF
this state can divert five hundred dol
lars of public money to their own uses
they can divert fifty thousand or half
a million. 1t is all on the same prin-
ciple or lack of principle. The cam
paign carried on by the teachers COM
mittee has been one of misrepresenta-

A number of years ago, w. N.
Sheats, then state superintendent of
public instruction, was the victim of
what we considered disreputable
trick. A false report about him was
circulated at time when he could not
deny it, and he was consequently de-
feated. We have always thought he
was treated badly and also thought
he was above such tactics himself
and we have steadily supported him
for office. Now, we regret to find
Mr.. Sheats employing the same tao,
tics as those which defeated him four
teen years ago. Last week, he circu-
lated the report that there was a sec
ret organization fighting the ten-mill
amendment. The people opposing this
measure have no organization, secret
nor otherwise. and Mr.. Sheats knows
it. He circulated the report simply
and solely to make votes. It is time
for the people of Florida to find an
other man to put at the head of their
educational affairs.

assertions that our public school sys-
tenn is badly warped, in need of re-
forming, and that there is nobody of
influence connected with it that has
any idea of improving it. They in
dulge in their fads and never consult
the people unless they want more
money. Whether this amendment sue

or later have housekeeping on pub
lie school affairs, and when they dc
they can remember that the Star be-

THE BANK OF MANSFIELD.

No better indication of the solidity
and permanency OF q city's progress
IL afforded than by a glance at the
status of its financial institutions.
Banks are the Thermometers which reg
lister the rise and fall of a city's credit.
The stability OF the commercial and
indu strial interests are, to a large
extent, dependent upon the policy and
conditions of the local banking houses.
They are the heart of the commercial
life and various of trade are
the arteries through which flows the
financial current of business. Among
the financial institutions of this part of
the Ozarks, the Bank of Mansfield
stands among those at the top.
From those small beginnings back
in the Cos this bank has developed into
its powerful position in front ranks of
South Missouri banking houses. This
bank has been conducted upon the
soundest and most conservative bust
ness principles and its management has
been characterized by sagacity, energy
and ability, coupled with liberality and
honorable methods. No bank has been
more closely identified with the many
movements that have helped in the
growth of our city and its institutions.

The Bank OF Mansfield was estab-
Tished in 1892 with a capital stock OF
So 1000, the first banking institution es-
tablished in the town, and six years
later g. w. Freeman became part
owner, and from time to time other
holdings were acquired, until now it is
owned and is known widely .as the
Freeman bank. The Bank has a capt.
al, surplus and undivided profits OF
more than $lOO, OOO, making it the
largest capitalized bank in the county.
1t now has total assets amounting to
over 1926 900.
Eight yerrs ago Geo. B. Freeman, a
young man of much energy and ability,
was made cashier of this institution and
since that time the bank has quadrup-
pied in volume of business.
Just a few weeks ago the bank was
moved into its new quarters. This new
home was built at a cost of $50, 900, and
it is one of the most substantial and
fastest bank buildings in the State of
Missouri, or any other state.
The officers are: g. w. Freeman,
President; M. A. Freeman, Vice Presi.
dent; George b. Freeman, Cashier,
and g. G. Freeman, Assistant Cashier.
The officers of this bank will gladly
furnish any information concerning the
mines or surrou nding country.

In the removal to Mountain Grove OF
G. s. Burney, Mansfield loses n OF
her best and most useful families.
For about 50 years Mr.. Burney was
Frisco agent at Mansfield, which posi-
ton he resigned in January, 1917, af-
ter having been with the Frisco con-
tinuously for almost IS years, begin
ming as agent and operator at Bots
D'Arc in January, 1882, going from
there to Cedar Gap and coming to
Mansfield in the same capacity three
years later. Asbusiness here increased
an operator was added and he continu-
ed as agent until his resignation. No
agent, probably, aver served ih the
Ozarks for so long a time or became
so we'll acquainted with the travelling or
shipping public. He saw the business
here develop from a small beginning
to large proportions, during which
time he served both the railroad and
the public well. After being out of
railroad service for a time, the lure Of
the key became so strong that he was
unable to resist and accepted a posi-
ton with the Frisco at Mountain Grove,
at which place he now resides, having
held a $1,000 public sale of stock, etc.,
at his big farm here Monday, for be-
sides his railroad work, he had an &C.
tive interest in scientific farming and
orchard work, and the Burney orchard
is famed throughout this entire section.
He has sold some of his city property
here, but still has large and valuable
real estate holdings in and near Mans
field. He also took an active interest
in public affairs, having served two
terms as mayor of Mansfield, discharg-
ing his duty in al able manner.
Much good work was accomplished
during Mr.. Burney's four years of SER
vide as mayor of Mansfield. When he
entered office the city was without
lights, streets or walks. During his in
cumbency, lights were installed, three
miles Of granitoid walks were built and
coupled with crossings, and three
miles Of street were graded.
In point. OF citizenship, Mansfield had
but three or four older citizens. He
was also one of the first to consider
this a mineral district. In 1885, he in
company with j. @. Spence and G.. j.
Roots, sank q shaft on what is now G..
w. Miller's residence property In Mans
field, and found good ore indications.
He and family were also active here
in church, social and lodge circles, and
they willb pc greatly missed. Mansfield's
loss is Mountain Groves gain, and the

great that men seek after them,
and he sold one male last fall for
$4,000, the highest priced known
boar that was over sold. Mr..
Norcross states that he is glad
to have such biooded hogs to
present to the public. He has
six "A Wonder" sows that are
great, A Wonder beingthe great
est known hog of the present age
He has also received one young
male from Grand Master, said to
be one of the largest living boars
of the age. He is known from
one ocean to the other for his
great individuality and his use.
fitness as a sire. Mr.. Norcross
expects to make this male pig
one of the leading stars of the
Ozarks, barring all accidents.
Mr.. Norcross came from India
NJ toWright County a number of
years ago, and he is doing a great
deal toward raising the standard
of hogs in this part of the coun
try. He has a fine herd and they
are we'll cared for.
