RARE RELIC IN PARIS, TEXAS

George Washington's half-brother
Lawrence Washington, married a
Miss Fairfax. (They owned Mt. Yer
non, and at Lawrence Washington's
death it was found that he had willed
Mt. Vernon to George Washington.
AS was customary at that time
George Washington bought a mourn
ing ring. At the expiration of the
year Of mourning, he presented the
ring TO jtfs brothers widow, Mrs.
Lawrence Washington, nee Fairfax.
She bequeathed the ring at her death
to the eldest unmarried daughter in
the Fairfax family; thus it has de-
scended until it reached Captain Ray
mond Fairfax, Miss Ada Fairfax, the
sister of Mr.. G. Percy Fairfax.
Miss Fairfax was recently married,
and in this way the ring has passed
to Alice Monimia Fairfax, the 12-
year-old daughter of Mr.. G. P. Fair
fax of this city.
The ring is very unpretentious.
It has thirteen small diamonds, to
represent the original thirteen col
onies, the large diamond, which is
in the center, represents Virginia.
Little Alice Fairfax, the present
owner of the ring, bids fair to be a
worthy representative of the tradi-
tions which have made the Fairfax
and Washington families notable in
the social and historic life of the
country Paris Dinner Horn

FRISCO HOSPITAL PLANS
READY IN 80 DAYS

Springfield, May 26.-"Definite
action on plans for the new Frisco
hospital to be erected in Springfield
probably will be decided upon within
the next thirty days." T. A. Hamil-
ton of st. Louis, vice-president of
the Frisco railroad, and president of
the hospital board, said yesterday. Mr..
Hamilton is in Springfield conferring
with H. L. Worman, superintendent of
motive power, and also a member of
the hospital board, and other local Off
cials of the road relative to railroad
matters and also is attending the e,con-
ference of road officials with represen-
tatives of the labor unions, at which
the wage question and new working
agreements are being considered.
"Plans for the structure are noW
being drawn by the architects and uni
til these are completed and the cost of
the proposed building ascertained, no
action can be taken by the board. The
building of the hospital is merely a
matters of dollars and cents" Mr.
Hamilton said, "and the materializ-
alton of the plans we have will depend
entirely upon the amount of money
necessary. A meeting of the hospital
board will be held in st. Louis within
a very short time and the plans drawn
by the architects, carrying out our
plans will be submitted for our ap-
proval at that time, which probably
will result in some definite action be-
ing decided upon. Following this
subcommittee will make plans and
set the date for the beginning Of the
construction work, which will be as
soon as possible"
The proposed hospital will be built
on the site Of the present building on
West Atlantic street. 1t will be stflcV-
ly modern in every respect and will DC
approximately twice the size oil the
present hospital, which has been I'M aOe-
quate to the demands made upoi "
for some time. Accompanied by vns y,
chief surgeon of the road, Mr.. Han 4
ton recently visited many of the md
important hospitals in the UnitA
States for the purpose of securing til
most modern ideas in hospital conA
struction and these ideas are beingA
embraced in the plans for the Spring
field hospital. The plans include
rooms for 14O patients, it is said,
which will class it as one Of the
largest hospitals in the United States.
While the building and its equipment
will be one Of the best, the financial
end Of the proposition is the most
important issue, Mr.. Hamilton said,
and it will be necessary to spend the
money in such q way as to make it 60
as far as possible.

ERNEST LAWRENCE
SUDDENLY INSANE
AS Result of Injuries Received Years
Ago, Killed Three Families and
Committed Suicide
(Associated Press)

Mayfeld, KY. June 27.-The county
authorities today were working on
the theory that Ernest Lawrence
murdered ten persons in his farm
home near here Saturday night,
drenched the house with oil, set it on
fire and then killed himself. Lawrence
several years ago was clubbed by a
Mayfeld policeman when he resisted
arrest on charge of intoxication.
Acquaintance today told the sheriff
that Lawrence shortly after that event
had suffered what they called spells,
which led the Office today to reiterate
his belief that Lawrence's illness sud-
denly developed into insanity during
which he wiped out his own family,
the family of his brother-in-law and
his brother-in-law's brother. The
charred bodies of two women, three
men and six children were so badly
burned that physicians were only able
to guess at how they were slain.

WHY OCAA SHOULD
HAVEA CREAMERY
All Interested in this Practical and
Profitable Industry Should be nj
the Board of Trade Room at -Four
O'clock Wednesday Afternoon

O'clock wednesday Afternoon
To all farmers and business men of
Marion county who are interested in
the project of creamery, / wish to
send this call to a meeting to be held
IN the Board of Trade room in Ocala.
Wednesday, June 18th, at 4 O'Clock
sharp.
For the farmers this enterprise
will mean a regular steady income;
some creameries pay for milk every
day, some every two weeks It will
mean a market for your feed crops
through the product from the cows.
A lot of roughage and grass that now
go to waste will be utilized. 1t will
mean better soils. Most of the ma
nurial value of feed is kept on the
farm. A ton of butter fat contains.
only about 80 cents worth of fertiIiz-
ing elements. 1t will mean better
crops on these richer soils. It will
mean an increase in the value of your
farm. 1t will mean a growth in the
value of your herd as the heifers
come on. Best of all. it will mean
more of the best kind of food for
your families.
To the business men of this con-
munity it will mean more trade.
Farmers are good spenders when
they have money to spend. No other
enterprise can be brought to Ocala
that will carry so large a pay roll. 1t
will mean more cash sales. 1t will
mean more money in bank. 1t viii
mean a better feeling between the
town and country.
Thes things will come if the cream
cry comes and is properly supported
and managed. This meeting Is called
for the purpose of getting things un-
der way.
In 1914, a creamery was started at
Selma, Ala. with $1,000 investment
in creamery machinery. In 1920, this
same company had 5000. 900 invested
in creamery equipment, and another
creamery had also been started. They
paid out to the farmers that year
81, ,45O, 900.
This matter is up to you. Talk
will not build it.
