SALE OF PURE-BRED
DAIRY CALVES

Editor Star: May call attention
through your paper to the sale of
pure bred dairy calves to be held in
Gainesville Oct 9Th?
These calves are coming from some
of the best herds in our section of the
country. Prof. Scott of the agricul-
tural college, has persuaded the breed
ers to sacrifice these for the sake of
getting better pure breds scattered
over the state. There will be Jerseys,
Guernseys, Ayrshires and Holsteins.
l have examined the pedigrees of
six of the Jerseys and find that they
are from outstanding stock, such as
Queens Raleigh" and Hood Farm
"Pagis goth" Pagis 99th has sixty
daughters who have made register of
merit records, one of them producing
1077 pounds of butter in a year.
Some of the Guernseys will be sent
by Mr.. Alf Nelson of Palm Beach.
All who are interested in pure bred
dairy stock should attend this sale
next week and bring back to Marion
county some of these calves.
1t is not enough IN these days to
have pure bred dairy cows. They
must have production records back OF
them as well as registered ancestors,
One of the most famous bulls ever
owned in the South-one which al
ways won in show rings and sold for
thousands of dollars-is now almost
absolutely forgotten by the most pro-
gressive dairy breeders. His daugh-
tiers failed to outclass their dams in
production. K. C. Moore,
County Agent.

TWO HOUSES ENTERED
BY THIEVES LAST NIGHT

Between four and five o'clock this
morning, Mrs. C. G. Rose, living at
No. 231 S. Second street, was awak-
ened by a noise which she at first
thought was rat in the wall, but yet
she wasn't sure it sounded exactly
like a rat and as she listened she
heard the door into the dining room
make slight squeak. Just at that
moment hand came around the
edge of the bedroom door and man
approached the bureau which stands
right at the door The man was
heavy set, had on rough looking
clothes and wore a cap pulled well
down over his face. He carried
fiashlight and went over the things on
the dresser, while Mrs. Rose was
waking her husband.
The burglar heard Mr.. Rose when
he reused and ran. Mr.. Rose thought
he made his escape through a window
and fired in that direction, but when
lie began to investigate he saw that
the burglar had come into the house
by picking the latch on the screen
door at the back of the house and
that he escaped the same way, drop
ping a memorandum book and some
other things as he jumped over an
ironing board.
Mr.. Rose then dressed and looked
up policeman and the two went to
the depot to see if anybody there had
seen man of the description in the
last fifteen minutes. Some one had
seen a man walking fast out Magno-
liza street towards the Gainesville
road, so Mr.. Rose and the policeman
drove out that way to see if they
could see anything of him. When the
had almost reached the fork of the
road, about two and half miles out,
the policeman saw man beside the
road crouched in the weeds, so they
stopped and ran back as quickly as
they could and the policeman emptied
his revolver after the fleeing man, but
was unable to hit him on account Of
the darkness.
The man on the Gainesville road
was barefooted and there are barefoot
tracks around the Rose home where
the man escaped, and the. officer and
Mr. Rose feel that they were on the
right track. The only thing that Mr..
Rose has missed from his house is
about three dollars in currency. His
watch and some small change were
on the bureau, but it is evident that
the burglar had to leave too suddenly
to finish his job.
This morning when Mr.. l. NJ. Muir
rsy, living next door to Mr.. Rose,
started to dress he found that he was
a man without any trousers. On
searching for them he found them by
the open window of the bath room, but
there was no money in the pockets.
Mr.. Murray says there was only a
little small change m his pockets any
way.
The boys on duty at the Davidson
restaurant last night say that two
men dressed roughly, one IN overalls
and the other an old jersey, both
wearing caps, came in there along to-
wards morning and got something to
eat and drink. 1t may be that these
we're the principal actors in the two
rcbberies.
