timely Gainesville Sun.

formerly one of Ocala's most promi-
nent citizens and business men, His
death occurred at the home of his
daughter. Mrs. Homer Lee Oliver, in
Apalachicola, where MIR. Rentz had
made his home for some time.
Mr.. Rentz had been in failing
health for the past few years. Al
though his death was not unexpected,
the end came as a great blow TO the
family. The deceased moved TO Flor
ida from Georgia about twenty years
ago. and settled in Ocala. For num-
ber OF years he was very prominent
in the lumber business. He also built
the Ocklawaha Valley railroad. Since

MOTOR TRUCK LINE BETWEEN
PALATKA AND OcALA

1t will be seen from an advertise
ment printed elsewhere that Mr.. G. P.
Pillans is soon to establish motor
bus line between Palatka and Ocala,
via Ctira and Orange Springs.
In former years the sulphur springs
at the latter place enjoyed a reputa-
tion second only to the sulphur springs
on the Suwannee river, and was quite
a summer resort, and with proper ad-
vertising it is believed that its for
mer popularity may be restored.
Then, too, the famous orange groves
at Citra and Sparr are sights worth
seeing, so we hope this bus line may
became popular.
The road from Ptlatka to Orange
Springs is in fine condition, and it is
hoped that soon the Marion county
end will be put in as good condition
This paper bespeaks for Mr.. Pillans
all manner of success.

Washignton, June 1.-The house
soldiers bonus bill, amended in sew
Ieral important particulars, but with
the much discussed bank loan provis-
ion retained, was approved yesterday
by the senate finance committee by
G vote of 3 to 4. Chairman McCum-
ber proposes to report the measure to
the senate within few days and said
he hoped to get action on it before
the passage Of the tariff bill
The democrats expressed them
selves as not pleased with it's present
form and have indicated that they
will have number of amendments to
offer. Senator Smoot plans to offer
his insurance measure as a substitute
and may introduce the issue of the
sales tax into the discussion
Opponents of bonus in any form
who include Senators Borah, Idaho,
Moses, New Hampshire, Wadsworth.
New York, republicans, and Williams,
Missouri, and Myers, Montana, demo-
Gratis, are preparing for a determined
fight on the bill. Bonus proponents
contended, however, that they have
the votes to put adjusted service COM
pensation legislation through the SEN
ate, and they are confident such legis-
lation will be enacted before this ses-
sion of congress ends.

MTTEE BY VOTE 8 To

life of seventy-fve years was spent in
Marion county, where he became one
of the most successful, because intelli-
gent, farmers of the state.
Mr.. Griffin was type of the old
generation of men who grew up dur
ing and after the civil war. Coming
back from the fou years struggle
those men bent every energy to the
task of creating for themselves and
their south new life, greater fu-
ture. something they could pass on
to their children. They succeeded be-
yond their widest imagination, for
the south OF today is the astonish-
ment of the world because of its rich
es and its manhood. Mr. Griffin left,
as do most of the men of hi sgenera-
tion, large family of children, all of
whom have done honor to the family
name. One Of the sons, Mr.. ]. Arthur
Griffin, is one of Tampa's best and
most favorably known successful bus
mess men, president of The Exchange
National Bank, and active in every
constructive thing that is proposed
for this city, county or state.
The Tribune offers sincerest condo
lence to those left to mourn the loss
of this hhusband, father, brother, who
so long has been the honored head of

ANOTHER OF HuMANITYS BEST
CROSSES THE BAR

This paper notes with profound sor-
row the death of Mr.. John Kendig,
who died suddenly last Friday at his
home in Philadelphia.
Mr.. Kendig came to Florida in 1885
and was SO impressed with our
states future that he returned the fol-
lowing year, purchased land and inn
mediately began the preparation of
setting out an orange grove on an ex-
tensive scale, and was signally sue
cessful.
He met with the usual setbacks and
disasters, but never once lost faith
nor courage as to the final outcome,
and at the time of his death his
grove was pointed to as one of the
most flourishing and profitable in the
state.
AT the time of his death Mr.. Kendig
was having built on his grove bun
galow where he expected to spend the
remaining winters of his life.
The deceased was loved and hon.
ored for his good deeds, was generous
to fault, and well deserved to be
called philanthropist. He not only
responded personally to the calls of
charity, but gave instructions to his
superintendent to give in his name to
every worthy beneyolence.
Mr.. Kendig not only came among
US, but in thought and good deeds be-
came one of us. and his death can
but be regarded as a loss to the entire
county.
Just the day before his death he
wrote letter to this paper for pub
lication, to which we call attention. 1t
shows how interested he was in the
progress and well being of our county
and its citizenry.

are more liable TO damage from cold
than counties in the Routhern part OF

lieye our county will compare favor.
ably with any yield, quality of fruit

Take 1000 homes with so bearing
trees averaging five boxes per tree
250,O00 boxes at $3.50 per box would
add $4,000 to the county's products,
with but expense for labor, fertilizer
and materials. My interest in Marion
county and It's people is my only rea-
son for talking about my own affairs
and making this suggestion.

the orange business by only few
years, but have had many years OF
pleasure in the business and associa

The county.

Yours very truly,
