Making His Mark.

The many friends of Mr.. C. L. Hurt,
who was reared in the Montpelier Sec
tion, Adair county, will be glad to learn
of his continuous success as a bank
official. When quite young man he
accepted position in the First Nation
al Bank, Burnside, KY, and in very
short time he was made assistant
cashier, which position he filled sue
cessfully for ten years. When the
Union Bank was established at Stith-
ton, KY, he was pointed out as a
suitable man to employ for this in
stitution, and the salary offered, in
wiling, he accepted and became the
Assistant cashier of that institution
He is filling the place to the satisfac-
ton of all concerned and has become
quite popular with all the patrons of
the bank. He is accurate, polite, and
very accommodating, hence kindly ex-
presslons are constantly coming to
him. He is a son of the late L. P.
Hurt, and is related to all the people
of Adair county who bears that name.

more interested in its advertising
columns than they are to-day. The
people here have become educated to
looking over The News for bargains

average man or woman watches the
reductions and whenever they see a
drop in the necessities, they go after
the articles. When you see a man

ments of single soldier, and he
doubtless knows it. When the war
begun, the movements Of the army
and navy were utterly and entirely
turned over to the president, the war
and navy departments, and senators,
congressman and governors had no
more to say about it than the bell
hops in New York hotel.
Senator Fletcher was good helper
to the administration during the war,
and every senator who did all he
could to push the mighty fighting
machine along and move Legislative
distractions out of its way helped to
shorten the war and save lives. Would
Cats have been that sort of sena-
tor? We trow not. Judging by his
record in other things he would have
put in most of his time trying to have
his sons and his political pets pro-
noted over the heads of men of great
er experience.

WELCOME PLANNED
FOR VIRGINIA SOLDIERS

Richmond, Va, Oct 4.-Virginia
has not yet officially welcomed the
soldiers who went from this state to
make war on Germany. The men
were so scattered when they came
back, were in so many different COM
mands, and the weather was so warm
that they refused to remain for re-
ception. The state and the. city have
arranged welcome for the week of
November 10th and for that entire
week the men in uniform will have
the right of way to the lunch coun-
tiers, the theaters and along the prin-
cipal streets there will be entertain
ments of various kinds for them.
They are to have no expense for that
week-they are to be the guests of
the city"
1t will be seen by the foregoing
that the Florida soldiers were not the
only ones scattered 'or used as re-
placements, as has been charged by
Governor Cats when he said in sub
stance: "Had / been senator from
Florida 'our boys would have been
sent to France together. fought to-
gether, and returned together" as If
he would have been commander in
chief of the army or military advisor
TO the secretary of war.
AS we understand it the troops
from practically all states were split
up, or scattered from time to time
and very few-if any-complete regi-
ments or parts of regiments returned
intact from foreign service. Doubt
less, many fathers, mothers and other
loved ones in Florida are extremely
proud that their boy, or boys, were
ready and willing to serve their coun-
try, but are at the same time well
satisfied that it was not necessary to
send the boys to France earlier for
had they been sent earlier and partic-
ipated in the life and death struggle
many more homes would have been
saddened. AS it was every Florida
boy should feel he did his part in Win
ming the war. irrespective of the posi-
ton he held or the duty he performed.
The Star has already explained why
the troops from Florida and other
states were scattered and mixed up
with men from all parts of the Union.
IL Cats had been senator from Flor
ida-and thank the Lord he wasn't
he wouldn't have controlled the move

OBSERVATIONS
Wise and Otherwise


Price of pig meat is said to be
coming down. Perhaps by winter
pork chops will begin to remember
that they were part of hog.
From observations, Ocala may be a
little short on residences for the tour
lists this coming winter, but believe
uc, there is going TO be no lack of
garage service.
Some people think bees are foolish
to work like the mischief and make
honey and then have some guy come
al;ng and rob them of it. No such
thing; bees cell their honey, as any
body knows.

widows teeth?" inquired one young

Ocala is going to be the out "bloom-
INCEST" town in Florida, with salvias,
hibiscus and poinsettias. The only
thing missing will be red noses.
Evergreen cemetery is owned by
the city and is at present in an un-
pardonable state of neglect.
Some people in their telephone ETH
quette emulate most perfectly the ex-
ample of the busy little bee-by sting

Two men with scythes could easily
cut the weeds from Evergreen ceme2
terry in a day, and with the co-opera-
ton of the ladies of the city that
naturally beautiful spot would soon
reflect credit to the citizens and civic
pride would go up several notches.
How often it is that the man who
smells of moth balls has money in the
bank, while the fellow who smells like
a new suit or marygarden perfume,
has nothing.
The woods now growing in Ever
green cemetery are in great contrast
to other cemeteries of the city. Where
the loving care of cemetery associa-
tions have full charge, burying
grounds look very different. There is

1t is in the care of an association, and
it is a matter of deep regret that Ev-
Ell green cemetery has not the same
loving care.

And headstones thicker along the
