MYSTERIOUS OLIVER TWIST
AT FEDERAL BAKERY

The Federal Bakery at 0cala' Is
causing lots of public comment about
a certain Oliver Twist who is schedul-
ed to be introduced at their store on
Friday, Feb. 25th. Mysterious signs
and window displays are announcing
Oliver Twist.
The salesgirl, when questioned by
oCr staff reporters, politely gave in
formation to the effect that the head
baker would not disclose the identity
of Oliver Twist, but the fact that the
head baker is on the inside of the nov
el mystery, leads US to deduce that
Oliver Twist may be fictitious name
for a new product that will be intro
duced this coming Friday.
At any rate, the manager of the
Federal Bakery, Mr.. Wiley, is to be
congratulated for his novel merchan-
dising plan, as the mysterious Oliver
Twist is causing a great deal of local
comment. 21-4t

OCALA'S 57TH BIRTHDAY

In looking thru the many records
subject to their inspection, the Florida
Title and Abstract Company came
across the following interesting bit of
history, which shows that our town
win have its .fifty-seventh birthday
next Saturday:
Note: In volume a." page 5, COM
missioners' minutes is record of a
meeting of said board held on Febru-
ary 26, 1864, at Fort King, in which
the following resolution was passed:
Resolved, That from and after this
date, the county site of this county
be known by the name of Ocala, and
that the postmaster at this place be
requested, upon the removal of his
Office, to petition the postmaster
general to name the office in conform
ity with the above"
At meeting of said board held on
April 6. 1847. as is evidenced by re-
cord in volume 1, page %, it was re-
solved:
That the street running east and
west on the south side of the court
house be, and is hereafter named
South street, the street running north
and south on east side of court house
is hereby named Main street, the one
running east and west on north side
North street, the one running north
and south on west side Fremont
street.
Further resolved that the four
above named streets be reduced In
width to SO feet, by taking off 20 feet
on each side and adding it to the ad.
joining lots. (If the city dads had
foreseen the auto. they would not
have passed this resolution).
Be it further resolved that all the
other streets in the town of Ocala bt
reduced to the width of 40 feet by
taking off 13 feet on each side of eacl
street and adding it to the adjoining
lots.

SUPERINTENDENT BLITCH
DEFENDS HIS SYSTEM

Elsewhere the reader will find a let
ter from Mr.. j. s. Bitch, superinten-
dent of the state farm, in which he
defends his work from the criticisms
brought against it. Also letter,
commencing the farm, by DIR. Hart,
which accompanies that of Mr.. Bitch.
We expected a letter from Mr..
Bitch when we wrote the article he
refers to. But we are surprised to
see he considers said article an "open-
ing gun" A considerable section of
the state press has been bombarding
him and his system for some months,
while the Star has said nothing, and
we supposed he knew it. Also we are
surprised to find that he thinks we
We're heated over the outrages and
the following lynching that took place
here few days ago. During the trou-
hles referred to we carefully refrained
from writing anything to excite
anger. and as we have said the men
who hunted down and lynched Elijah
Jones didn't act in the mob spirit. II
Mr.. Bitch will again read the article
he has tried to answer, we think he
will decide that it was not written in
a cheated" spirit.
We have not changed our idea:
about the honor system from the day
we inspected Raiford. We think il
is very good so far as it can GO. W.
are afraid it can never go far enough
to reach the souls of some men, bu
for many, probably majority, it is ;
good thing. In the long article WI
wrote about Raiford two years ago
we praised the good we had seen. w,
naturally didn't refer to the bat
that might never occur. We have seel
a good deal of the Florida prison sys
tenn. Some of the older men can tes
tify that thirty years ago it WASH
much better than hell is supposed t.
be The present system is vast i'm
provement. That isn't saying its per
feet, and there is no lodging the fac
that great many people are agains
the state farm. We confess that W
are prejudiced in it's favor, and woul
like to see it carried on if it could b
without loss to the state and withou
prisoners escaping. Its critics sa
that can't be done.
Mr.. Bitch has made out a. goo
case for himself; if his critics thin
they can answer him they can hav
the space, and he can always hav
the space to reply. As for the Star,
will leave the matter to the governo
and his cabinet. who are certainly bel
ter posted on the subject than any G

PLEASANT EVENING
FOR THE ROTES

The Rotarians always have a pleas
ant time at their noon lunches, and
two pleasant times at their suppers,
because they have twice as much time
at the latter as at the former.
The supper last night was in honor
of George Washington's birthday,
and while no formal resolution was
made it is likely that each Rote. who
thought about it. resolved that during
the present year he would not tell any
more lies. than absolutely necessary,
and if the resolution had been world
wide, and would be adhered to, there
would be right smart of improve
ment.
The supper was provided by the Ia
dies of Circle No. 2, Methodist church.
They spread an elegant feast. OF
course the piece de resistance was
chicken, tho it was too tender to re-
sist very much. and the ladies treated
each Rote like he was a Methodist
preacher. Nuff ced
There was singing and smoking
and other variations, and every Rote
felt good, because he was plumb sure

Several farmers have spoken
to the County Agent in regard
to securing fish from the State
Hatcheries for stocking ponds.
A number who have secured
these fish in the past are very
well pleased. One farmer who
has two-year old fish is able to
keep his table supplied with
fresh fish from this source. If
every permanent pond in the
county was stocked it would add
much to the food supply of the
farm.
