NO REASON FOR CONFUSION
Christian Chronology Really Quite
Simple Matter. Though II Requires
Little ExpIanation.

Using the birth Of Our Lord as q
starting point for counting time did
not become general until the Chris
tian religion had made considerable
progress. Some confusion arises from
overlooking the fact that the ancient
nations had their swn systems and
their own starting points. For ins
stance. the Romans counted from the
founding Of their city, Rome, and
when Our Lord was born II was the
year 753 according to Roman chronol-
ogy. Having taken the year In which
Our Lord was born as the starting
point OF the new or Christian chronol-
ogy. the years preceding that starting
point could only be counted as years
before Christ and the farther you 60
back into the past the greater their
number. just as the greater the num-
Der the farther you come down from
the starting point towards the pres
ent. There is nothing confusing In
this. and the same principle Is ap-
piled on any through railway time
table A transcontinental timetable
counts distances from a terminal
both ways. one way east and the
other way west In our chronology
the year OF the birth OF Our Lord is
the starting point, and the years are
counted both ways-those that had
passed before that event and those
that have passed since that event.
This system is. OF course. in use only
In Christian countries. The Jews be
GIN to count from the creation. and
there is no counting backwards be-
cause IT is impossible to 20 back Of
that event.

ask that in your contemplated as

We further asked that our shade

sent be given by any property owner

ings, in front of his or her property.

/ was born and reared in the South

candidly that have never lived in any
community where white Americans
were more kind to colored Americans
than IN our own town of 0cala. That
protection, sympathetic interest and
cooperation have not been given col
ored citizens in vain, is shown by the
goodly number of reputable and credi-
table business enterprises maintained
by our people here and which make
Ocala, when negro business ventures
are considered, the leading city of its
size in the country. This is a condi-
tion of which our entire citizenry
might well feel proud, and brought
about largely thru the Stars fair
mindedness and undaunted courage to

may not have large sums to give, but
your contribution to Fessenden Acad-

COLORED TEACHERS TRIBUTE
TO MARION COUNTY

Editor Star: After six years of
very happy service at Fessenden
Academy, am now tsndering my
resignation and want in this public
way to express my profound gratitude
to the many friends who have done so
much to make Fessenden Academy
one of the ideal educational centers in
our great and beautiful state.
Your splendid support of my pre-
decessor, Prof. Jos. l. Wiley, man
greatly beloved, was more than /
could possibly expect you to give a
stranger. Yet that first article you
wrote concerning the new administra-
tion was so full of fairness and good
will that it proved not only an in
spiration, but a wonderful incentive
to make our institution serve the in
terests of our county and state as
never before. Just how well we have
succeeded i do not know. 1t may in
terest yo uto know, however, that the
enrolment during the past year was
the largest IN our history and that
practically every space IN the dormi-
tories is engaged for the next school
year. With crops in fine condition,
