Mr.. w. o. Brewer, who was in town
Saturday, had some scars on his face,
and when we accused him Of whipping
some fellow he modestly replied that
he had been fighting a woods fire and
rake flew up and hit him. When
we spoke to him about that four hun
dred thousand dollar road East Levy
was going to build, and said we guess
ed he would soon be trying to split
off Bloxham county again, he said no,

Demand for Flu" Treatment

While the influenza plague was
raging in October. 1913. the sales of
DR.. Williams 101 Tonic jumped over
500 per cent. Their can be only one
reason for such a tremendous in
crease; and that is that DR.. Williams
1O1 Tonic is a correct treatment for
"Flu," LaGrippe. Chill and Cold cases,
as we'll as Malaria and other fevers.
Quinine, the enemy of disease germs,
is one of the ingredients of this eff
fcient medicine. Magnesia is another
important chemical contained in the
tonic. 1t cleanses the liver and bow
els of accumulated poisons. Iron, the
rich blood producer, is the third. It
builds up strength, stamina and vi

SUNDAY EVENING SERVICES
AT THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH

The large congregation at Grace
Episcopal church, on the evening OF
Sunday, February 22nd, had the priv
ilege of being participants in one of
the most beautiful and touching serv-
ices that has ever been held in Ocala
The special feature of the service,
after the usual order of evening pray
er, was the lowering of the service
flag, which has hung in the church
since fifteen of her young sons re-
sponded to the call of their country.
The ceremony was prefaced by the
reading of the preamble to the con-
stitution of the United States, after
which two young veterans, in their
uniforms, of the army and navy,
stepped forward, reverently and ten
0erly lowered and folded the flag and
presented it to the rector, who placed
it upon the altar from which it was
later removed and put in a place of
permanent keeping. Following this
Miss Isabel Shaw sang beautifully
and effectively the "Recessional," by
Kipling. The scene and the wonder
full song will not soon be forgotten
The rector presented to the parents
of Simeon LAGRANGE Sistrunk, on be-
half of the French government. a d.
plOma of honorable service. a testi-
mOnial given to those of our army or
navy who have given their lives. This
was very fitting at this time as La
Grange was member of the Sunday
school from earliest childhood, and
later a chorister for a number of
years.
Mr.. Neighbours sermon on this oc-
casion was q brief but mastery study
Of the life of Washington and its
bearing on the conditions of today.
He is speaker who uses no superfu-
Gus words. his manner simple, direct
and forceful. Grace church is indeed
fortunate to have for a rector, and
Ocala to have for a citizen, so fine a
type of Christian gentleman. Let US
be good to him.

In 1916 the Republico. Progressive
convention was held in Chicago
They synchronized. Or. IT might
be said they ran in parallel col.
umns. The progressives met at Con.
gress hall to conduct what proved
to be the ceremonial funeral Of the
party. while the republican conven.
ton met in the Coliseum to noni-
nate Charles Evans Hughes.
Would Theodore Roosevelt permit
the progressive convention to name
him for another race, or would he
come back" and be regular" and
support Hughes, II the republican
convention managers persisted in
naming Hughes? Would the repub-
lican convention, BY any chance.
take steps toward party harmony
by naming Roosevelt?
These were the questions OF over
whelming interest when the two
conventions met.
The truth Is that Roosevelt had
already surrendered. Nearly ten
days before the conventions met, the
writer had a long talk with Colonel
and Mrs. Roosevelt at Oyster Bay.
At part Of the conference. one other
person was present, Henry stoddard,
owner OF the New York Mail.
