those germ killers to read the 38th CHAPTER of

TOOK UP TURN|PSEED
District of Columbia Police Captured
Missing Cashier of Dunnellon

Sheriff Thomas was informed Mon
day that Ernest Turnipseed, missing
cashier of the Bank of Dunnellon,
was under arrest in Washington City.
He left at once for Washington and
returned with the prisoner this after
noon.
As the Star goes to press, Turnip-
seeds attorney, Mr.. R. B. Bullock, is
trying to make bond for his client.
Bail in the amount of $4,000 is requir-
ed.
The charge against Turnipseed was
embezzlement. When it was found
that he was missing few weeks ago,
the tSar particularly enquired of the
bank if his accounts were short, and
was assured by the bank officials that
everything was all right. The story
was given out that he had simply
taken his family and his automobile
and gone for vacation.
1t was but day or two later that
the Star was informed by Dunnellon
people that money was missing, and
that it had been the intention of the
bank to discharge Turnipseed. 1t was
reported that when he went away he
took the combination of the safe, and
if it hadn't been that the Jacksonville
man who put the safe in had not re-
membered the combination and fur
nished it to the bank officials, it would
have been necessary for the safe to
have been broken into.
The Star did not print any of these
reports, for it had not absolute proof.
But the fact that Turnipseed has been
arrested on such a serious charge
makes it certain that he will have
considerable difficulty in clearing
himself.
The Bank of Dunnellon was called
up by the Star this morning, but the
officials replied they had no statement
for publication.
Turnipseed's wife was with him
when arrested. She came on home a
train or two ahead of him. The chill
dren are with relatives in Gainesville

THE PRESBYTERIAN MEETING

From concensus of opinion last
night Rev. J. Clarence Leckemby
preached one of the finest sermons
that has ever been heard in Ocala.
His subject was "The Deity of Jesus
Christ" and it was handled by mas
ter mind, directed by the spirit of AL
mighty God.
We certainly had a splendid audi
ence, and if you don't want to sit in
that front seat, you had better be on
time, 7:45. The sermon tonight is
for young people, so boys and girls
we are looking for you. We are go-
ing to give you reserved seats and if
that doesn't suit you can help the
choir or orchestra Mothers and
fathers, bring your children out to-
night. Mr.. Leckemby may do your
boy or your, girl more good tonight
than all the money in the world.

ROAD RECOMMENDATIONS

Editor Star: The - trucks of the
White Star Line last week made their
first trip to Palatka over the new
road via Citra, Orange Springs and
Rodman. The trip was made with a
one-ton truck with load in three and
half hours, which cuts all previous
records to Palatka in half.
Putnam county has done herself
proud, coming right up to the creek
at Orange Springs with good hard
surfaced road. Now it is up to Marion
county. The missing link in this i'm
portant route is the twelve miles be-
tween Citra and Orange Springs. The
grade is almost completed and all that
is needed is a hard surface of lime
stone which will not cost a great
amount and will for the first time give
US road to Palatka, tapping the di-
rect tourist artery south from Jack
sonville. This done, with few road
signs properly placed at Palatka and
Hastings, calling attention to Ocala
and Silver Springs, one of the wonders
of the world, and there is no limit to
the benefit that would result. This
connection is very important at this
time when it looks like work will be
held up on state road No. 2, and a
first class road is being rapidly built
down the west coast.
Also, the road to Silver Springs
should be scarifed and rolled and be-
fore the rainy season starts fund
should be started to set out palms
along the less attractive parts of this
road. No citizen viii fail to appre-
ciate the Importance of such a move.
Ocala and Marion county have as
good, if not better, outlook for future
progress than any section of the state.
1 have become more than ever i'm
pressed by this fact after spending
some days touring other sections and
talking with men in the East Coast
towns, and they all say that Marion
county has the best agricultural Sec
ton in the state and that Silver
Springs is wonderful and that it is up
to US to put Ocala and Marion county
wher they belong.
have set forth nothing that we dc
not already know but submit this
merely to keep the outstanding facts
before us. T. W. Collier.
