Christmas Eve was not a moonlight !
night, but some Of our friends declar- !
ed they saw moonshine.

Ocala has had the honor and dis |
tiuction Of entertaining many notable
personages within her city gates dur
ing the past few years. Two of the
most prominent visitors of the pres
Cnt season are Mr. and Mrs. Arthur
B.&ckmore of New York. Mr.. Black
more is an artist of some little fame,
anu Ocalans have admired very much
his sketch Autumn Colors," so vivid
ly portrayed on the front cover page
Of the Literary Digest of October %,
1919.
Also another "angel unawares"
fluttered her fairy wings within our
tiClt iScCHLiS III tic pei sui VI MISS
Eleanor Campbell of the Chicago Uni
ve1sity. Miss Campbell is spending
the winter at the Cathedral School in
Orlando. She is greatly interested in
child welfare and settlement work
Her visit to Ocala was especially in
the interest of the girls industrial
school, an institution that is pointed
to with pride by every citizen of Mar
ion county. Miss Campbell was most
enthusiastic over her visit to the
school and pronounced it's manage
ment of the best in the country.
There is a rich man spending the
winter in Ocala and those who see him
quite frequently speak most pleasant
~ of him. 1t is whispered he is to
purchase one of the city's most ele-
giant private residences and become
one of us. From all appearances he
is a man Of unusual good taste, and
because Of his wealth is not at all
spoiled by fiattery, as some less for
tunate personages sometimes are.
Ocala will see to it that the good
doctor and his charming wife are &C
corded a most cordial welcome and
our people will wish for them much
happiness in their new home, should
they decide to locate.
Ocala for weeks has been facing a
milk famine land in our humble opin-
ion our citizens should rally to the
cause and establish municipal dairy
l.,
| thousand acres of suitable land on
which the right kind of milk cows
could be kept. and the whole carried
on by the best of dairy managers,
would, we think, prove a real boon to
the people of this city. However
large the margin left to be filled by
private dairies, this public resource
would ensure an unfailing supply of
the very best milk for the tender
childhood of Ocala, at least, and would
be a check on the raising of prices to
the prohibitive limit. The idea ought
to be acceptable to the masses of our
citizens in this time of high milk
prices; and of soaring public owner
ship sentiments. Let's nOt-we have
as much municipal trouble on our
hands as we can manage now.-Ed.)

Yes, girls, 1920 is divided by four.
Pick out your choice but be sure he

style dad has done.
Our world is full of boy problems.
As full of boy problems as there are
! boys. We know of only one way to
handle boy (and we are not an old
bachelor when we say it,. 1t is to re-
member that once you were a boy,
and then do to that boy as you think
you should have been done by when
you were his age. Try it and see?

The love of a husband for the truth
is most exemplifed when he comes
home in the wee sma hours and butts
into the furniture.

shortens mans days" Sure it does,
Uncle Billy. Each day now seems
like a month of Sundays.
A favorite wedding day in Scot
land is December 31st. so that the
young couple can leave their old life
with the old year and begin their
married life with the new one.

Tramps are getting conspicuous by
their presence, and makes US recall
Proverbs 1927, which we give to you
free of charge to use as your discre-
Ition dictates: "Withold no food from
those to whom it is due, when it is il
the power of thine hand to do it." That
injunction does not require aims Civ
ing to beggars, healthier looking and
better dressed than ourselves and
our brothers.
