AS child she came to Oklahoma
sixty years ago in an ox-drawn prai-

Indian territory until his death.
Mrs. Robertson taught in the Indian

at Muskogee for girls of the five civ
iiized tribes.
She was appointed postmaster at
Muskogee in 1912 by President Roose-

charge of a first class postofice in
the United States. Of late she has
been running a cafeteria in Musko-
gee. 1t was her practice during the

EXCURSION RATES
TO COUNTY FAIR
The Railroads Have Granted Special
Fares Covering a Considerable
Territory in Central
Florida

Special excursion rates on the rail
reals, the Seaboard Air Line, Atlantic
Coast Line and Oklawaha Valley,
have been made for the 18th annual
Marion County Fair. Nov. 1927. The
tickets are effective Nov. 22-26 IN
elusive with a return limit of mid
night Nov. 9th. On the Seaboard
the rates are effective from Archer,
Alachua, Lawtey. Orlando, Zephyr
hills and all intermediate stations. On
the Atlantic Coast Line the rates are
effective from Trenton, Fort White,
Lake Butler, Palatka, Astor. Sanford,
Dade City, Trilby, Brooksville, Ho-
mosassa and all intermediate points.
This is the first time that excursion
rates covering so wide a territory
have been granted by the railroads to
the Marion County Fair. The rates
do not apply from any section from
which the excursion rate Of one-haf
fare for the round trip would figure
less than 81.
It is believed that the attendance
from adjoining counties viii be
larger this year than ever. 1t is
hoped that there viii be many out
cf the state visitors. In the public
ity that the fair association is giving

sow that won grand championship

Committee viii Renew Its Efforts
this Afternoon to Place Organi-
cation on Business Basis

The Board of Trade committee
making the drive for funds to finance
the organization for the coming year
will continue its efforts this after
noon, encouraged by yesterdays re-
suits. There are still some who do
rot see the necessity for more funds
for the organization. To begin with
the Board of Trade, as it is pointed
out, must have a sufficient income to
meet the ordinary overhead expenses
of the organization. The $1,000 an
nual income of the trade body at
present fails to meet the routine ex-
penses. An efficient office cannot be
maintained for this amount. The
present income does not permit the
employment of stenographer. But,
if a sufficient amount is raised to
meet the overhead expenses, shall
the Board of Trade have no funds
with which to meet the expenses of
activities over and above the office
work?
There are already three conventions
booked for 1921 Another edition of
the Ocala and Marion county booklet
should be issued when the present
edition is exhausted. The proper
| lfollow-up of these booklets should be
provided for. To give the booklets
the widest and most effective distri-
button advertising must be used to
call attention to them. 1t is items
like these that it is proposed that
shall be met with the funds subscrib-
ed over and above the amount neces-
sary for the bare overhead. Hereto
fore these items have been met by
subscriptions and donations at the
time used, resulting in repeated
drives throughout the year, and caus-
ing no end of dissatisfaction and ir-
Irrigation. The proposed plan would
provide for budget for the year and
la definite program to be adopted at
meeting of the Board of Trade held
for the purpose.
