MARION COUNTY
MOVING FORWARD
Much Building is Being Done and
the Farmers are Active with
their Spring Planting

A trip through Marion county at
this time is well worth while. Thruout
the county lands are being broken for
the spring planting. There is eonsid-
cradle activity in evidence. In almost
every section of the county building
is being done. Here and there new
houses and new barns are being built.
Repairs are being made. There is
probably more building being done
than there has been for some time,
from small sheds to the most modern
dairy barn. A large modern dairy
barn is being built on the farm of
Capt. S. r. Pyles, south of the city.
A most interesting feature of the de-
velopment taking place in the county
is the setting out of an avenue of
palms and camphor trees on the
Manly farm southwest of the city.
The avenue leads from the Shady road
to the attractive Manly home. Mr..
Ben Raysor has an attractive new
home on his farm near Lowell.

Very deploring news has been re-
ceived in the city about Lieut.. E. E.
Bobzein, who is well known here.
About a week ago his airplane fell
over 400 feet with him at Langley
Field, Va, and it is thought he is
seriously injured. With him in the
r.achine was Lieut.. Martin. whose in
juries are of a minor nature. Lieut..
and Mrs. Bobzein have visited in
Ocala several times and have scores
of friends here. Mrs. Bobzein as Miss
Kathleen Spencer resided in the city
for some time several years ago, and
has since visited here as the guest of
Miss Elizabeth Davis. Their friends
trust that Lieut.. Bobzein's injuries
will prove not so serious as reported,
and that he will at an early date be
entirely restored to health.

PRESIDENT LINCOLN ONE
OF THE PLAIN PEOPLE

Chicago, Feb. 12.-Abraham Lin
coin is shown again as one of the
plain people at the Chicago Histori-
cal Society this week.
To its already fine Lincoln collec-
tion, the society has added on this an
niversary, for the first time, some re-
markable bits of Lincoln's environ
ment that give glimpses of his life.
Most Illuminating perhaps among
these is the pew that Lincoln occu-
pied, in the Presbyterian church at
Springfield, before he left Illinois
capital to go TO the White House. The
rough bench looks as if it might have
been made from the rails that he split
in youth. No palmer, commoner,
more substantial bench could be built
for church.
The pew probably was never paint
ed. At any rate it shows no signs of
paint today, but stands like a product
Of the carpenter that had gone
straight to the church. 1t is a bench
that without regard to looks, could be
doing its duty for several more half
centuries.
Nearby is chair that Lincoln used
while he was reading law. 1t is one
OF those bleak Office chairs of long
ago, a sure enough companion piece
to the pew, simple, worn and still good
for a long term of hard service.
Close at hand stands a book case
made abroad for jefferson Davis, the
president of the Confederacy. Rather
ornately carved, it seems quite un-
ike Lincoln's home bookcase which
also is on display here today. This
is another of the plain pieces common
in the day. and now sought after. But
that there was comfort and elegance
of quiet nature in the Lincoln house.
hold may be attested by the handsome
mahogany and haircloth couch from
Springfield.
Robert T. Lincoln, the presidents
crly living son, pays the Chicago His
torical Society a visit from time to
time. He has pronounced the best
likeness of his father a little known
portrait that has recently come into
possession of the society and is hang
ing there, this Lincoln's birthday, for
the first time. The scene is a ships
cabin, where Lincoln is listening to
General Sherman tell of his march to
the sea. The painting is by C. p A.
Healy, one of the noted artists of the
day. Robert T. Lincoln has. had a
copy of his fathers figure made for
his home in Washington.
The bed on which Lincoln breathed
his last, together with hundreds of
bits intimately associated with his
life, have recently come into the
hands of the society These all are
from the collection of the late Charles
F. Gunther. the Chicago candy man.
For years and years Mr.. Gunthef
worked with unfagging energy until
he has gathered what Miss Caroline
NJ. McIlvaine, librarian of the Chicago
Historical Society, terms the most
remarkable private collection in the
country relating to American history
Between Chicago and Springfield,
Illinois has the fullest collection rem
iniscent of its greatest "favorite SON."

officially closed and no reports turned
in after that hour will be accepted.
The out of town candidates must get
their reports in the same as the town
candidates as no reports mailed in and
received after seven o'clock viii be
counted. Another ruling which all
candidates must observe is that no
checks of any kind will be accepted in
the ballot box, nothing but cash or
currency being accepted in payment
of subscriptions
All candidates and their friends are
cordially invited to be present when
the prizes are awarded at the Star
Office. The campaign manager wishes
to thank each and every candidate who
by her untiring efforts has helped to
make this the biggest and best sub
scription drive ever attempted in this
section of the state, and hopes that
the associations they have made in
their hunt for votes will leave them
with many staunch friends. Besides
winning the different prizes the can
didates have learned lessons which
should be of benefit to them in after
life, as they have met new friends
ard learned to study human nature.
AS a result Of the campaign now
closing the Star has a circulation of
which it is justly proud and one that
will help the paper boost ocala and
Marion coupny even more than has
heen possible in the past.

close as the clock strikes seven to-
night The ladies who have worked
so faithfully during the campaign viii
be rewarded for their efforts just as
soon as the official judges announce
the winners. The Star is more than
pleased with the result Of the cam
paign and is only sorry that there are
not STUDEBAKERS to 90 to each of
the workers; however, each one win
be more than repaid for the time and
energy expended.
Each candidate believes that she
has worked harder than any of the
others bit the judges cannot take this
into consideration as the only way
they can award the prizes is by the
Il Imber of votes possessed by the
candidates. While all of the candl-
dates are hopeful of winning the cap
ital prize, they each realize that only
one STUDEBAKER is to be given
and although some may be disappoint-
ed, they all realize that this campaign
has been absolutely honest and above
board all during the race and that
the candidate who wins viii be the one
who has the largest number of votes,
as it has been impossible for the cam
paign manager or anyone connected
with the Star to give any candidate
votes.

If the business is gone into on com

DEVOTED TO BRITISH CROWN

There Is no part of the kings do

Bank Keeps Gold Under Water.
No other bank in the world Is pro-
tected as the Bank of England, writes
William S. Walsh, who collects odd
bits of Information. This unique pro-
lection Is due to an artesian well in
the bank. This well supplies the bank
with its water Independently Of the
rest Of the city; 1t Is 400 feet deep
and supplies 1000 cubic feet Of water
an hour.
The bullion department, which holds
the ingots of precious metal, Is nightly
submerged In several feet of water by
the action of special machinery. Any
one attempting to rob the bank, then,
must be an expert swimmer and diver.
In the morning the water is pumped
away and the ingots are readily ac-
cesslble again.
However, the water still protects the
other departments of the bank. Its
supply Is almost unlimited, the bank
knows, and Its protection Is practi-
cally absolute when it is used. The
bank has very delicate machinery ar
ranged so that even the lifting of one
coin from a pile will release a catch
which in turn releases a supply Of
water.
