OF the many beautiful words utter
ID by the late Robert Ingersoll none
were more worthy of remembering
than these: sThe time to be happy is
now, the place to be happy is here,
the way to be happy is to make others

We read where a snake charmer
an into a burning building to, rescue
lis favorite snake. That man doesn't
teserve to be called a hero-he is one
# natures fools.
The dollar is slowly coming around
o where it is recovering its self
aspect, as prices continue to fall In
act, the day is not far distant when
he dollar viii be dollar, not merely
IA coin of small value to be carelessly
tossed out in exchange for a trife.

A stranger coming to Ocala might
be led to believe that an epidemic of
colds is going the rounds, red noses
and fever blisters are so in evidence
on so many faces. But it isn't that at
jail, strangers. Ocala's housewives,
that is. a good many of them, have
luit playing bridge and are now play
ng Bridget.
Fall fashions indicate the woman

There must be lot of sweet and
timid girls in the Jacksonville high
school. They have just organized a
wildcat club, and have adopted the
motto: "Get 'em young, treat 'em
Tough and tell 'em nothing"
A truthful enemy is better than a
ying friend.
The little city of Eustis has chick
en- ordinance, and it costs citizens SO
allow one of the two-legged critters
to run at large. What has become Of
Ocala's little ordinance?
The st. Petersburg Independent
asks: "In how many cities of the
Ieountry would it be possible for the
members of family occupying one
Iof the most conspicuous and promi-
nent homes to leave their domicile of
an evening, knowing that the win
ldows and doors of the house were
wide open and returning hours later
find that nothing had been disturbed
Ior the home molested in any way?
lSt. Petersburg goes on record as be-
ling one of the few safe and sane
lcities." Put Ocala on your list, too,
brother. There are many houses that
haven't even locks in our town, and
lone lawyers house in particular that
la key has not been turned in since its
mistress was a baby, but that isn't
Iso far back, and Doctors Office that
Twas never closed day or night Until he
Idied a few months ago. And in all
these years no record of any molesta-
ltions has ever been made against
lOcala's open houses. But scads of the
Iso-called "locked-up" ones have suf-
lfered.
No hunter ever gets all the game
he takes shot at, neither does the
minister in this town or any other.
Thomas Edison says that genius
land insanity are separated by only a
hairsbredth. This must be so for who
lever heard Of sure enough bald

Some men are born advertisers and
lsome are born non-advertisers. The
first class no doubt hollered in their
lcradles and have been at it ever since.
but they learned at an early stage Of
the game that it is no use making a
noise unless you have the real stuff
. behind it. So everybody get ready now
and shout for the fair.
In a distant city resides a couple
that haven't been married long
enough for their jokes to get entirely
around among their host of friends
land their home folks in 0cala. The
title bride in question belongs strict
