 "Instead of the proverbial fish tale 1t will be the hunting yarn. and we'll be listening to them all winter"

the Irish republican 1eader. was ar
rested Wednesday night near here and
later released, it was definitely estab-
lished today. There had been earlier
denials from the Sim Fein authorities

certain he was arrested either in erEsr
or through overzeal on the part of of
ficials concerned. The prisoner was
detained for the night and on his
identity being learned he was releas-
ed yesterday afternoon. 1t was sup
posed at first that man resembling
him had been arrested and on this
ground the Sim Fin authorities de-
MED the reports. 1t was declared here
that there was no intention on the
part of authorities in Ireland to ar
rest de Valera.

ANOTHER TEN-ACRE
CITRUS NURSERY
Will be Established by the Wartmann
Company Southeast Of the
City

The Wartmann Nursery Company
of Ocala will establish a ten-acre
ciarus nursery on the southeastern
edge of the city adjoining the orange
grove of Mr.. w. D. earn. The COM
pany expects to plant 100, 900 trees in
the new nursery. The demand for
Marion county nursery stock has
been very heavy due to the revival of
interest in the citrus industry in this
county and to the fact that the sour
orange nursery stock of this county
has become so famous.
Marion county is the original home
of the sour orange which was found
growing wild in this section. No
stock on which citrus fruits are grown
is used more widely than the sour or
ange. The first budded groves in
Florida were grown on sour orange
roots in this county and sour orange
stock is used in citrus producing Sec
tions the world over. During the past
season the demand for sour orange
nursery stock of Marion county has
been greater than the supply.
