world that is quite so satisfying to a |
mother, as the love of a young and |
famous son.
Have you greeted a newcomer to- |
day with CHEEKY smile and hearty |
handshake? If you haven't, you have |
neglected your duty as a citizen of
Ocala.
One of the little things Ocala can
really boast of it that within her city
limits is a man who has read Web
ster's dictionary through several
times.
Our idea of a mollycoddle is a fellow
who washes the dishes while his wife
goes fishing.
Man with all his faults is loved by
woman still, because Their are no other
kind.
Holman is quoted as being charm
ed with all he has seen in Florida but
is greatly disappointed because there
is not enough music here. If he is
tired of our hooking birds melodies,
MI. Holman should visit Silver
Springs on a moonlit night in June
and listen to the "Fat Po-Joes" MARBLE
on a dead live oak limb. Maybe he'd
get an ear full than.
The exchanges are devoting much
space to the news item telling how
Mrs. Isabella Cram piloted four
mast schooner across the Atlantic,
after the death of her husband, who
was the commander. Of course the
plucky woman deserves all the praise
she may receive, but how many wom-
en- pilot the Family ship" from the
time they are married to the day of
their death, navigating the difficult
waters, receiving condemnation in
stead of commentator to which they
are entitled.
We are told, and have investigated
and found it true that in the south
western section of the town and with
in the city limits, there has been for
| the past several weeks a Verltable
camp of tramps. Not lowdown look
ing, sick. measly fellows, but big,
brawny, strong and well -dressed men.
Third ward citizens have had many
visjtations for ''the tribe" as beggars
and pilferers, day and night, yet they
have been unmolested by the police
and as far as we know they are still
basking in the shadows of the Gary
| forest.
| Funny, isn't it, that man is never
hurt by a falling sunbeam, but if
barrel of moonshine hits him in the
bread basket, there's little hope.
So
We went to a specialist few days
since for massage and the good,
consoling doctor said: "My dear, have
no fear; the face doesn't betray the
years until the mind gives consent.
The mind is the sculptor whether you
| are sixteen or sixty-siX. A persons
grows old by thinking he is old. AS

i The Injunction of every WOmen's
magazine is "to plant a hen" Almost
any family can support six hens, even
at the present cost of living. And if

i Marion county at this season of the
year is blessed with much beauty and
an abundance of flowers and tropical
plants and unending green. Every
i where one turns there is something
pretty and pleasing to greet the eye,
! but Ocala keeps her greatest and most
gorgeous moments until the end of
). the day, as the sun slips down behind
:, tic towering pines linking the glOries
of the Creator and our lives as one.
i Wednesday the sunset views were the
most radiant of the mid-winter sea
, sen The beauty of the sinking sun
! against a purple sky, with its strokes
!; of most delicate tints of blue and pink
and rose. gold and grey surmounted
!, with a radiant red and orange were
!, beauties unrivaled. Watching the sun
90 down is a ceremony, a miracle,
taken too much for granted by chill
I dren and older folks Of today, and
especially in Florida where we have
both time and space to watch its com
i ing over the seas through the mists Of
breaking day and its going to rest
i through a pool of throbbing fans of
gold and silver. 1t is the after ref1ec-
tions and the lights and shadows that
! gives to Us that satisfaction Of soul
lindescribably sweet and sacred.
