COME ALONG, MARY"

1t seems to be the consensus Of
opinion among those who saw "Come
Along, Mary" at the Temple last
hight that it was so far the best show
of the season. The fine orchestra
promised seems to have become lost
up the road. but the excellence of the
show made up for the absence of the
orchestra. The singing was partic-
ularly good, the troupe carrying with
it some of the finest voices. Miss
Laura Castle, leading lady, who came
along as Mary. was fair to look upon,
and her voice thrilled the audience.
Kenneth Christie is one Of the best
blackface comedians in America, and
the eccentric dance" by him and Ar
thur Tackman caused them to be re-
called after the next scene had start
ed, the first time this has happened
her in many seasons. Miss Virginia
Vernon was most graceful dancer
in fact, all the performers were of the
best and worked we'll together. One
scene-that where the blackface COM
edian made love to the white girl
should be cut out. Otherwise, with
few chestnuts in the way of stale
jokes, the performance was par ex-
cellence.

CIRCUS IS COMING
TO OCALA DECEMBER 6

A special car carrying Is men and
tons of advertising material is in
Ocala today announcing the coming
o. the big Sparks circus on Saturday,
Dec. 9Th. Men IN autos with paste,
posters and pictorial booklets were
going to the surrounding towns and
villages early this morning and by to-
night every school boy in the county
will sperad the joyful news that the
Sparks big three-ring circus is COM
ing to Ocala soon.
The excellent reputation left by the
Sparks shows on former visits to this
city would alone insure liberal pat
ronage this time, but the lusty growth
and vast improvements in the show
since its last visit will make it more
attractive than ever. Mr.. Sparks is
a man of energy and enterprise, and
he has a brand new train of monster
railroad cars built especially for him,
ali new, gorgeous cages. dens. costly
trappings, etc. He has expended over
$4,000 in increased equipment. Every
effort has been made regardless OF
cost to make his show satisfying to
his pride and advanced ideas.

Editor Star: ! own a farm and

tural county in Florida, everything
considered, so far as God made mat
ters, but l disagree with the state
nent of John r. Martin, in the Star
of November z, when he says, $50 far
as roads and other things are con-
cerned, / would rather be in Marion
than in Lake or Polk counties" / now
live in Lake county and know that
her model roads are such as to attract
people and hold them while passing
Marion by because of her poor high
ways. l urge all my old neighbors to
vote for road bonds and thereby add
mans works to Gods gifts and make
Marion county supreme in truth and
fact Nothing but good roads can turn
the trick. The Lord has done his part.

BIG FARM TRAIN
WILL BE HERE
Will Give Demonstrations and Talks
and Motion Picture at the
Fair Grounds

The International Harvester Com
pany's big farm demonstration train
which has been touring throughout
the South will be in Ocala, Monday,
December 9Th. Under the auspices of
the Marion County Board of Trade,
and in cooperation with the state
college of agriculture, the state de-
psrtment of agriculture, and the coun-
ty agent, farm demonstrations and
talks on agriculture, illustrated with
nine reels of motion pictures. will be
given at the fair grounds. The days
program will last from o'clock in
the morning until IL o'clock at night,
with intermissions for dinner and
supper. Mr.. H. c. Olseng, advance
representative of the demonstration
train, was in Ocala yesterday. The
trains itinerary called for it's arrival
in Ocala Dec. 9Th. AS soon as Mr..
Olseng arrived here and found that
a circus would be here on that date,
he decided to pass up Marion county
entirely. The secretary of the Board
Of Trade persuaded Mr.. Olseng to
move up his schedule, for the towns
south of Ocala, and arrange to have
the train here on Dec. Sth.
An invitation is extended to the
people of this county, and surrounding
ccuLties to attend the demonstrations,
which will be entirely free. The dem
onstration train is under the direction
of Prof. H. F. Mobley. 1t requires
nine large motor trucks to carry the
equipment that the demonstrators use,
including a large tent. The demon
stration party consists of Prof.
Mobely, Mrs. Ada Howie and nine
others. Professor Mobley is a native
of Florida and has been a successful
and practical farmer of many years
experience in the South and is a lee
turer on agricultural subjects of ma
tional reputation. Mrs. HOwie has an
international reputation as a breeder
of dairy cattle. She has been dairy
farmer for thirty years, having start
ed with a grade heifer and now own
ing one of the finest Jersey herds in
the United States. She has been a
lecturer in the University of Wiscon-
sin for eight years and was given the
only degree of honor ever given a
woman by this institution. Mrs. How
ie is. also an author and authority on
dairy husbandry, home economics and
home building.

FROM MR.. HICKS

Editor Star: Please give me space
to endorse Mr.. P. H. Nugent's letter
On the bond issue. / believe Mr.. Nu-
gent expresses the views of a majority
of the taxpayers, if they have the
right information on the subject. I
want to add few words to what Mr..
Nugent has said. Should the county
be bonded at this time, with prices
running high. and In two or three
years prices go down to half what
they are at present and remain low,
those who have bought bonds will have
their holdings increased to double
what they were at the time they
bought them. because they can buy
twice as much meat, lard, corn, syrup,
sugar and other articles with the
money and it will be twice as hard for
the taxpayer to pay his taxes. for it
will take twice the amount of meat,
lerd, corn, sugar and beef to get the
tax money, therefore / say vote
against bonding. AS Mr.. Nugent says,
''It will be too late to cuss, but cuss
or pray, you will pay the bonds. y
Should the conditions / have spoken
Of above come to pass. which will
likely happen in two or three years
from now. the real labor cost to the
taxpayers will run way over three
million dollars to say nothing of the
Interest. am a taxpayer of Marion
county and for the reasons above am
opposed to bonding. ]. Y. Hicks.

WITHOUT THE RADICALS
SOME QUESTIONS

Mr.. Farmer: Just put your think
ing cap on and see if yop can say that
these figures are not true and of vital
Importance to you:
Total acres in Marion county,
1,O54,O8O.
Improved acreage, 92,199.
Estimated raw lands owned by
farmers in connection with their i'm
proved acreage, 100000.
Percentage of land owned by farm
ers to that owned by land companies,
lImber companies, turpentine inter-
ests and non-residents, is in the ratio
of 20 per cent. to farmers and 80 per
cent. to others.
Farm lands are carrying an assess
ed average valuation of about 81 per
acre; on other lands the assessed val
uation runs from 81 to So per acre.
In readjustment of values, which is
sure to come, the raw lands should,
and probably will, be assessed at not
less than So to 81 an acre and this
means that the big resident and non
resident land owners taxes will in
crease from 100 per cetn to $50 per
cent; the value of the farm lands will
be raised. but not more than SO per
cent. on the existing assessed values.
Now think:
Eighty per cent. of the acreage will
pay 100 per cent. to $50 per cent.
more taxes;
Twenty per cent. of the acreage will
pay 80 per cent more taxes, but in the
equalization of increased values and
decreased millage the additional tax
alton on improved lands will be slight
Vote for bonds to improve the roads
yen are using and then see that the
unimproved lands pay rs per cent. OF
the cost.
It is absolutely unfair to load down
the farmer with heavy assessed
values and let the big fellow who
/ owns thousands of acres of raw land
get off with quarter of what he
should pay. The theory of Henry
George that the man who improves
his land should be rewarded and not
penalized, and the man who owns
thousands of acres and whose only use
Of it is to rob it of the natural wealth
which nature has placed there -shoulc
be penalized. not rewarded by plac
ing his assessed valuation at a figure
which is ridiculous when compared
with the assessed value of improved
lands, seems to fit very we'll in thi!
| instance.

TENT MEETING
Under the Auspices of the Baptist
Church

CnuTCn
Rev. T. J. Ruydendorf, a returned
Baptist missionary, from Old Mexico,
has. spread large gospel tent on the
lot in front of the Florida House. and
will conduct a series of meetings,
which we trust will accomplish much
good.
Rev. Ruykendorf was forced to
leave Mexico by orders of the Ameri-
can consul, who could not afford him
protection from the bandits, and has
applied to the American government
for permission to return and take up
his work there again at the earliest
possible moment.
While in this country, our state
mission board has furnished him a
large army tent and he has conducted
several successful revivals in Flor
ida already. He is an interesting
speaker.
People of all denominations, and
none, are cordially invited to attend
these meetings and assist in the sing
ing. We are sure you will enjoy the
preaching and believe the services
will do you good. C.. M. Britain.
