Death Of Fred Lang

LENA, Mar. 21-Fred Lang. famil-
iarly known as Fritz, an old time resi-
dent of Sylvanite, passed away at the
home of his brother, Jacob Lang. at
Curley Greek, March nth. He had
been sick for several years and was
perfectly resigned when the hour came
which ended his earthly misery.
The large attendance at his funeral
testified to the respect in which he
was held in the community.
Mr.. Ryder conducted the services at
Greenwood cemetery on Sunday after
noon.
Deceased was born in Wurtenburg,
Germany. II years ago. He came to
America in 1867, made his home in st
Louis until 1894 when he arrived In
lSylvanite where he followed the bust
ness of mining until he falling health
compelled him to retire.
He had comfortable home which
he shared with his many friends and
acquaintance whenever they had oc-
casion to travel that way. AS a mat
ter of fact Fred's hospitality was pro-
verbal. The angel of death never
summoned a man from this community
who was more keenly missed that he
will be. He was quite a philosopher
too, in many ways. His views of life
We're more comprehensive than the
average man of his class.
In manner he was quiet and unas-
Stunning but possessed of ready wit
which was keen and enjoyable, always
appropriate and never expressed with
the sharp edge which so often mars
the speech of many witty persons.
The writer and family visited SYLVIA
mite several years before the fire of
1910 swept it bare of any semblance
of former habitation Fred, learning
of our arrival in the city OF silent
echoes, sent a messenger urging us to
make our home with him during our
stay, fearing we might not be COM

! We gladly availed ourselves of his
kind invitation. When we arrived at
his home which was then at the Key

which we amply enjoyed, after riding
over rough roads in the cool, invigor-
ating air of the Yakt mountains.

man. His sense of justice and high

conversation. His code of life was reg
ulated by his environment.
1t would seem that he imbibed the
best Christian virtues from natures
inimitable teacher-the God made
mountains and valleys surrounding
him which speak the souls language
best of all
He was the last of the Sylvanite
pioneers who chung steadfastly to the
belief that the town would rise from
its ashes some day when the outside
world will learn of the mineral wealth
embedded in the orest-clad hills and
Irnck-bound mountains of the romantic
Yakt region.
He is survived by his son, George,
and his brother, Jacob Lang, who
were with him at the time of his death,
his wife and three daughters in st
Louis, two other brothers and two
sisters.
/ The sympathy of the community is
extended to all and so we say a last
farewell to a true friend, a kind neigh
Dor, a good citizen and a pioneer who
will long be sincerely remembered in
the Yakt country where he made his
home.-Mrs. George Mccormick.

WHEN MONTANA WAS NEW
Girl Forced to Life of Crime Learns
to Distrust Men.

"A man tried to buy me with a quart
of whiskey. What did you offer?" the
girl who called herself Montana Rivers
demanded of Dan Overton.
'Tana knew that western country
and it's men, and she hated and dis
trusted them, the old Indian chief,
Akkomi. being her only friend. She
had been forced by cruel father to
wear boys clothes and hold up stage
coaches and sheat at cards. Lee
oHlly's brat" they called her, and
knew she was crooked.
When she escaped from Holly she
found happiness in an Indian camp,
but Akkomi knew that it was better
for her to live with her own people,
and so he sent for his friend, Dan
Overton.
Dan took her to Mrs. Huzzard, who
took the girl into her big heart and
mothered her. She was accepted by
the respectable people of Sinna Ferry
as decent, and Tana thought the hor-
rible nightmare days of her past were
gone forever
But calm precedes a storm. 'Tana
was caught up and tossed about in a
gale of trouble that nearly broke even
her dauntless and courageous spirit.
THAT Girl Montana" is imperson-
ated by Blanche Sweet at the Amazon
theatre Sunday, April g. Jesse d.

of Marah Ellis Ryan's popular novel
of the same name. Mahlon Hamilton,

Mr.. EMANUEL MARTINS LETTER
TO THE VOTERS or ocALA

This paper can not too highly COM
mend the letter of Mr.. Emanuel Martin
addressed to the voters of Ocala which
will be found elsewhere in these col
umns
Aside from the choice of words EN-
ployed to express his meaning, which
makes it most attractive, there is mo
evasion or sidestepping, or, to use a
phrase Of the times, he resorts to no
camoufiaging- to conceal his attitude
on any matter upon which member
of the city council has to deal
He meets every issue boldly and
without hesitation and especially the
one that is uppermosts in the minds
of the voters of this city at this time
and that is whether or not we are to
be governed by the city charter in
fact as well as in name especially so
far it relates to a city manager.
On this issue Mr.. Martin says:
Among other provisions of the
charter is one requiring the council to
elect city manager. | am COM
mitted to the election of no particular
individual to this Office, but hope
that the new council will proceed as
soon as possible to employ thorough
ly competent man, with the distinct
understanding that he shall be man.
ager in fact as well as in name, with
all the power and latitude in the dis
charge of his duty, which fair con-
structiOn of the law will permit, and
that he be assured in advance of the
cooperation of our city officers in the
clean and business-like conduct of
our public corporate affairs
We wish all the candidates for
mayor and alderman will be as cam
did and explicit.
That much is demanded of them by
the voters and they owe that much
to them.
Let us have free and full express
sion from them on all matters with
which they have to deal

FLORIDA JOURNALISM

The Palatka News is writing some
editorials that are indeed very fine
and add very much to the dignity
and excellence of Florida journalism
They have the Addisonian flavor.
The same thing may be said Of the
editorials appearing in the Tampa
Times. They are particularly strong
along the lines of the League of Ma
tions, the Tariff and the X. X. KS.
They are particularly pleasing to
those who believe in committing the
peace and dignity of the state into
the hands of our constituted authori-
ties and who still worship at the
shrine of true democracy.
And while in this frame of mind
we can not omit to toss flower at
the esteemed Times Union. Its edi-
torials are of such marked tone and
brilliancy as to extract commenda-
ton from those who only a little

TOM WATSON AND TOM HARD.
WICK CLASH

Tom Watson, United States sen,
ator from Georgia, and Tom Hard
wick, governor of the Empire State,
who were political allies in the cam.
paign which resulted in their cleo
ton, have quarreled, and the politi-
clans of the state are greatly excited
over the incident. In the last issue
of his paper Watson makes vigor-
Gus attack on Hardwick, charging him
with going back on his campaign
pledges to the people and that he also
has violated an agreement they made
when they were candidates. A par
agraph in Watson's article reads as
follows:
AT present, make no complaint
of the fact, that every important ap-
pointment has been given to enemies
OF mine. If my friends are not COM
petent to hold these offices they
should not be recognized. Last year
my friends seemed to be worthy. of
trust, A sudden blight seems to have
stricken them. They have been frost
bitten; they have wilted. ThatssialI
right, we can look to that later.
The Atlanta correspondent of the
Augusta Chronicle suggests that:
A little digging into and uncover
ing Of state political history in the
period referred to by Senator Watson
discovers the fact, or the allegation,
that there was made up between the
present governor and the present SEN
ator, when they were in the making,
an agreement that neither would in
other. so long as each remained in
terfere with the appointments by the
his own particular clover patch and
did not attempt any political forag-
ing"
Meantime the real democrats of
Georgia should be enjoying immense
" this unexpected break. In the cleo
ton of Hardwick and Watson the peo-
pie of Georgia brought upon them
selves from the intelligence of the
country almost as general and severe
criticism as did the people of Florida
by the election Of Cats Tampa
Times.
