The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1920-01-19


observe the more lady friends a
bachelor has, the more likely he is to
remain single.
See if you do not observe these
facts: The neighborhood that looks
most run down, is probably the neigh
borhood in which the neighbors run
each other down the most.
The man who lives rightly, and is
right, has more power in silence than
another has by his words.
Character is like bells which ring
out sweet music, and which when
touched accidentally, even respond
with sweet music.
Some of Ocala's men consider that
they have a hard days work when
they chalk a cue and put the $50" ball
in the corner pocket. And we guess
they have.
One wise tourist says: "To be in
Florida is a heavenly privilege" That
tourist has the right spirit. He looks
a. our climate through clear glasses.
We only hope he will keep his graft
tuGe in a robust condition by prac-
tice.
The United States Health Service
says that carelessness with the hands
and teeth causes more deaths in Am
erica every year than carelessness
with motor vehicles. 1t is most i'm
portant to keep the hands clean, free
from germs and away from your
mouth Cor anybody's mouth.)
A pretty young maiden says, the
secret of success is "to let your eyes
do the talking. Make them express
sufficient admiration. and you won't
have to say anything"
One of the prettiest speeches ever
made by Henry Ward Beecher was
expressed in these words: eve sleep
but the loom of life never stops. and
the pattern which was weaving when
the sun went. down is weaving when it
comes up on the tomorrow"
A good excuse is like all other jew
els-one of the hardest things to find.

! Ordinarily a fellow may be rated
as "no-account," but right now every
body counts as one with the census
person-and Ocala needs all the
counts.
Why not inaugurate in Ocala a
post card day? All the southern cities
have them. and it's not a bad idea at
all. Let your post card be a creditable
view of some attractive spot in or
around Ocala and write upon it some
pleasing information about the city
or climate. Even exaggerate a little
bit if necessary; it won't hurt if you
do it tactfully.
One of our friends purchased a
barometer for his wife's Christmas
present. When it was presented the
good lady said:
"Why, John, what in the world did
you get me that thing for?"
why, dear, so you could tell when
it is going to rain, of course" replied
the husband with haauty air.
"Huh, you old fool. what do you
suppose the good Lord gave me the
rheumatism for?"
The neighbors say the atmosphere
over that way is cool yet.
There is one young man who has
been having an awful time keeping
his soul and body together since the
Christmas holidays. His body is still
in Ocala, of course, but his soul
well, it's off circulating about the
New England states in general anc
Honolulu in particular.
We are taught that there is a realm
where rainbows never fade and where
stars are forever twinkling out like
; islands slumbering on ocean beds. anC
| where beloved souls passing before
: us like shadows, will stay in our pres
: ence forever and forever. It is in tina
: land where Bulwer teaches "wer'
: born for higher destinies" than tina
G fearth.
