this place. when / was single, used
it for headaches, and especially II /
get cold and feel feverish, take .
good dose of Blaek-Draught, and 1t
sets me right
Since I have been married, ! have
used it In my family, and never have
found fts equal for torpid liver or dis
arranged stomach, especially with
children. I can recommend Black
Draught, and gladly do SO.
Every member Of the family occa-
sionaIly needs the assistance that
Black Draught can give, in helping to
cleanse the system and relieve or pre-
vent the troubles that come from q
lazy, torpid liver.
IL your liver is not doing its duty,
You may suffer with headache, consti-
patton, bfliousness, indigestion, etc.
Unless relief IL obtained. serious sick
ness may result. In its long and sue
cessfuI use, Thedford's Black-Draught
has been found in thousands OF cases
TO relieve such disorders, by gtimulat-
ing the liver to do its important work.

CENTER SHOTS

Follow few of the bullseyes the
Times Union has made on the bond
amendment:
If you want roads in Florida vote
against bonds.
The dollar that is used to pay inter-
est does not build a foot of roads.
Despite liberal amount of money
it had for road building the state of
Florida has not built one-fourth as
much mileage as Polk county.
Some of the speakers in favor of
the bond amendment have convinced
quite a number of men that the
amendment should be defeated.
The counties along the Atlantic
coast of Florida have built one con-
tinuous road from north of Jackson
vile to south of Miami with gap of
Icnly about ten miles unimproved.
How many miles has the state built?
Some people have a superstitious
motion that the state would build
roads more economically or more eff
fciently than the counties. The state
road department had four million dol
lars last year Where are the roads
lit built?
The bondomaniacs would leave to
their children a legacy of debt.
If you want to pay interest vote
for the bond amendment. If you
want to build roads vote against it.
The advocates of the bond amend
ment would build roads for joy rid
ers at the expense of roads for the
farmers.
We do not see how man could
preserve his self-respect who, instead
Of providing things for his children
to the extent of his ability. bought
things for himself on credit and
left his children to pay for them.

We have heard of Florida hotel
where a traveller called and asked
what he would have to pay for a
room. He was told he could have a
small room without a bath for $3.50
for one night. He had his wife with
him and of course they occupied the
same room. Next morning, when the
traveller went to pay his bill, the
clerk told him it was SIS. He pro-
tested, saying he had been promised
the room the night before for $3.50.
Eyes," said the clerk, ''but there
were two of YOU" So the traveller
had to pay $3.50 for the privilege of
having his own wife in the same
room with him for the night. There
never was a more Internally dishon-
est charge made. If ever anything OF
the sort is done in Ocala. we hope
that the victim will take the case
into court, so we can write it up.

Judging by what we hear, there
will be another attempt when the
Legislature meets to break Bloxham
county off from Marion and Levy. It
is likely that Marion's delegation in
the legislature will be able to head
eff the attempt, but if it should go to
"a referendum election we are afraid
|it would succeed. When the people of
that part of the county voted divis-
ion down five years ago, they under
stood they were to have a good road,
Tor at least a much better road, to the
|county seat. Their road is no better
today than it was then, and we see
no probability of its being made bet
ter soon. The Star would hate to lose
the people of that part of the county,
but unless something is done to help
them at once it won't feel like it can
oppose their trying to
help themselves.

BoNGNER A GOOD BOY
A Short Sketch of an IncurabIe OPP
timist


doe Earman in Palm Beach Post)
Hon. Jacob Bongner was a promi-
nent visitor in West Palm Beach yes
Iterday.
Jake Bongner came to Florida in
1912.
He constructed. owned and operat-
ed one of the only two breweries ever
built in Florida.
He invested three hundred thousand
dollars in the Jacksonville Brewery
Company.
This was the last brewery built IN
the United States.
Jake is a practical brewer and
learned the business with Col Charles
Stifel, who was one of the famous
brewers of St. Louis, and with whom
Jake worked during his young man
hood.
When prohibition came about, Jake
was surprised.
He never thought the American
public would enact laws prohibiting
the brewing of beer.
When the Volstead act became eff
lfectiye, he dismissed two hundred and
forty-three employees, drew the fires
from the boilers, opened up the watts,
locked the outside gate and went
home.
The three hundred thousand dollars
that he had invested was his bank
roll.
Al LII =: oIo++al, MOE :. b,.oxry
cry.
His other assets were determine
ton, good health, a faculty to make
and keep friends.
He converted his brewery into q
factory to manufacture ice, ice cream
and cold storage.
| He makes and sells one hundred
and thirty tons of ice every day and
approximately one thousand gallons
Of ice cream. and has storage rooms
which are used by practically every
dealer in perishable merchandise in
Jacksonville.
Jake Bongner is the only brewer
who ever operated in the United
States and did not mess with politics
1t has been stated that for two
years after he came to Florida, he did
not know the name of the governor of
the state.
He has always been very temper
ate man.
/ He brewed and sold beer because
lit was legitimate business.
/ He invested three hundred thou
sand dollars and practically lost this
amount
This loss did not distress him.
/ He is philosopher and took the
hitter dose without chirp.
In ten years from now, Jake will
Ehave his three hundred thousand dol
liars, also an ice plant worth while
for his children to fuss over.

law. He wound up by insulting a boy
half his size in the Seaboard res
taurant one night, and the little fell
low, who had no scare in him, went
after the big one with a gun. There
was quite a circus for a while; the
Iully crawling on hands and knees
under the tables and among the legs
of people in the room in the effort to
shield his carcass from the boy, who
meanwhile ragged around, trying to
get a shot without hurting any Sin

ed him down, but the bully was a
bully no more. He would. last in
