ADDITIONAL SOCIETY
Bonita Fishing Club Formed

Bonita Fishing Club Formed
The Bonita Fishing club has Just
been organized, in this city. This
club is composed of twenty five
of the leading sportsmen and citizens
of Ocala and they have organized a
stock company and have purchased
from J. H. Spencer his place on Bas-
sey Island near Hickory Island in the
Gulf of Mexico.
This property is composed of 1873
acres and there are two club houses
on the property. This fishing and
hunting preserve was formerly the
property of the late Edward Holder,
of this city and at his own expense
he built hard roads connecting this
island with the mainland. One can
get in his car in Ocala and go right
UP to the door of the club house with,
out experiencing any difficulty. 1t
is one of the finest fishing and hunt
ing preserves to be found in this
section of Florida and the gentlemen
of this company are very lucky in Sc
curing it. 1t will be used entirely
for pleasure.

ARE VIZ LOSING CRouND7 ASKS
The MIAMI HERALD

That splendid journal, the Miami
Herald, means and groans good
deal of late. It is really getting pes
simistic. It asks the question, Are
we losing ground?' and then says:
1T is very startling to learn that
there is very general feeling among
the soldiers, who are just now re-
turning from the seat of the recent
war, that this country is about to lose
at the council table the fruits of the
victory it helped to gain on the bat
tlefield.
Intelligent men who took an active
part in the war and who were in a
position to see things at close hand,
men who met many of the enemy and
became acquainted with German
thought, do not hesitate, now, in print
and on platform, to say that the long
drawn out peace negotiations are not
resulting as satisfactorily as the
fighting man, who bore the heat and
the burden of the day, had every
right to believe they would"
Oh, no! dear Herald. 1t is not the
intelligent men who took an active
part in the war" who are saying this
The men who really took an active
part in the war fought for human
freedom. 1t is the active politician
who did not take an active part, who
is talking the sort of thing the Her
aid quotes. The soldier, the real
fighter, is not complaining. 1t is the
politician who is trying to ride on his
back-Ganesville Sun.

The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1919-06-14

II offer kindly greetings. That big
toad in small puddle may have been
too drunk to greet distinguished visit
ing journalists.
Hon. Pres. Pryor has habit of get
ting drunk. He also has fad for
bucking the tiger in the great Amer
lean game Of poker. Why he wanted
to keep the Rip-saw editor immured in
his lousy Jail, incommunicado, affiant
knoweth not. That must have been
the influence Of Old John Barleycorn.
President Pryor is under the old rough
neck g influence much Of the time.
When Oliver opened up the last time,
President Pryor accepted position, as
the county papers say, at tending bar
for George Baccich, M. Danculovich,
ct al. It was a rare sight to see the
former resident Of the prohibition state
of Iowa hopping up the mahogany and
wearing his snow-white apron.
Later, President Pryor became sloth-
full, therefore was bounced by Baccich
and Danculovich. He now specializes
on playing poker and Furnishing booze.
He is reputed to have silent in,
terest in Judge Rebek's big booze
tabernacle. That tabernacle has a
three-sided bar, nearly half mile
| around it. One could drive a team in
the door and around that bar. The
building is fully quarter the size
of Billy Sundays tabernacle. There
is sawdust on the floor. It needs only
the sanctified Smithies in the doorway
to make one think that the only and
original "sawdust trail" is within.
But all that is another story.
How or why President Pryor got an
interest in such mammoth booze dis
pensary, affiant knoweth not, any
more than he knew how or why Col.
Philbrook secured an interest in the
Kruth & Mckinney dump when he was
chief of police in Oliver.
| It is not impossible that Judge
Rebek had to hand President Pryor an
interest in his liquid gold mine to
secure license. Judge Rebek needs
| no protection, for he is reputed to
| strictly obey the law as to closing and
other details. .. ...,. ~. 80
| Some days ago, President Pryor
wanted to 60 across the street from
Rebek's booze tabernacle. Possibly
he wanted to visit "Pet's Place" to
eat, festive sandwich Of bun, ham
burger and minced onion. But the
Hon. President was too drunk to walk
across the street. Like a hero in No
Man g land, in the battle-scarred fields
of Sunny France, the big toad in the
little puddle, got down onto his hands
and knees and crawled across. He
negotiated the distance safely but cut
his front paw on a broken beer bottle
that was lying in wait for an automo.
bile tire.
The next issue Of the Rip-saw will
endeavor to have fine picture Of the
president of the village Of Oliver
crawling across the street on his hands
and knees while too drunk to walk
| upright, like real man., rr.5.j ..
