FUNERAL OF MRS. MINSHALL

The Presbyterian church yesterday
afternoon was filled with sorrowing
friends who came to pay their last re-
spects to one who in life they had
loved and admired-Mrs. Fl. S. Min
shall-to which love and esteem the
many floral offerings were silent and
beautiful tribute. The large floral
pieces from the societies to which she
belonged were numerous, and although
her duties in the Office kept her from
attending their meetings, nevertheless
she was among the most earnest
workers. She will be greatly missed.
A quartet composed of Mrs. r. G.
Blake, Mrs. c. E. Winston, Messrs. J.
]. and A. E. Gerig, accompanied by
Mrs. John Taylor, sang beautifully
Nearer My God to Thee" "Abide
With Me" and "Asleep in Jesus"
After the short service at the
church at which Rev. W. F. Creson of
iciated, interment was made in Green
wood cemetery, the following acting
as pail bearers: Messrs. Elmer De-
Camp, J. J. Blalock, T. M. Mclean,
T. d. Lancaster Jr., C. E. Winston and
A. NJ Davis.
Mrs. Minshall's maiden name was
Lillian Amelia Cramer. She was born
at Piedmont, w. Va, June Is, 1878,
and was married to Mr.. Minshall in
the same town July 29, 1900. The
Minshall family came to Ocala from
Abbeville, S. c., in 1912 and in the
intervening years has won high
place for itself in the good will of the
community. Beside her husband and
daughter, Mrs. Minshall is mourned
by her father. sister and five brothers.
| all of whom have the sincere sympa-
thy of those who knew them.

The following from the Oxford cor
respondent of the Sumter County
Times will please all who live along
State Aid Road 1874: "Col. C. E.
Woods, secretary of the Sumter Coun-
ty Chamber of Commerce, en- route
from the conference with state Off
cials at the capitol, stopped off here
to spread the glad tidings that hope
exists for state aid in obtaining a
road through fernando county to
complete the short cut to Tampa. No
better representative could have been
sent to Tallahassee to expound our
needs than Col. Woods, and we sin
cerely trust his plea will bring home
the bacon"

The Ocala Star, speaking Of the re-
apportionment amendment, says that
the leading men of north and west
Florida, recognizing the injustice htat
South Florida is laboring under are
willing to make some amends. "Some
amends" That is not what South
Florida wants. 1t wants full amends

Friend Herald, according to history
past and present, you will find that
people who are willing to make even
"some amends" are scarce. We have
never advised South Florida to be
content with the proposed amend
rnent. We have advised it to take ii
in order to help obtain better one
That's all bosh about the state being
tied up for ten years by the proposed
amendment. The people can demand
another next year if they want to.

Mayor John Martin of Jacksonville
is visiting Ocala and greeting his old
friends, of whom he has great many.
Mr.. Martin lacks a few months of
closing his third year as mayor of
Florida's metropolis-a record which
excels that of any other citizen of
Jacksonville, and he has also been
prosperous as a business man. His

We have seen a movie picture of
"Cigarette," "Ouida's" fiery little
heroine in "Under Two Flags" In
one hand she carries a Smith and
Wesson revolver of a pattern not in
vented until many years after "Under
Two Flags" was published. A Mexican
artist was laughed at because in a
picture of the Crucifixion he guarded
the cross with Roman soldiers armed
with Remington rifles, but he had
nothing on some of our movie direc-

Our Leesburg girls are not as easy
as some may think. Saturday night,
we are told, travelling man took one
of them to the show, bought her a

escorted her home. At the front

ant evening, don't you think I ought
to kiss you goodnight? Not on

ATTEND DEBATE ON
THE AMENDMENT

The Star hopes all Marion county
people who are able to do so will at
tend the debate between Messrs. w.
W. Phillips and Frederick Van Roy on
the proposed reapportionment, at the
courthouse Monday evening. Mr.. Phil
lips is a veteran legislator and famil-
lar with his subject. Mr.. Van Roy
will represent our sister county of
Citrus in the next legislature, a man
cf great intelligence and his talk is
bound to be interesting.
AS the Star will not be able to re-
port the speeches, all who want to
know what the two champions will say
had better be present.

however, insisted upon h conditional
Punishment. They demanded that the
cats be placed where they could find
