OXFORD

Oxford, Nov. 22.-There were more
OF less nomadic, migratory, landlop-
ping conditions in the minds of many
last Friday when the news was circu-
lated that our assistant teachers, in
Guiding the principle of the Oxford
school, had kidnapped and carried
away with entent to, we'll, you will
learn later, our most promonent
school trustee without knowing just
what the crime was, on such short
notice. The first suspition was noted
by the pupils which raised little
question mark in the minds of all, and
the more it was agitated the bigger
the question mark grew. All day
Saturday they remained away. Sum-
day came, and no teachers nor trus-
tee, and the question mark still grew.
A great crowd met the Sunday south,
bound train eagerly hoping to learn
something of our lost trustee, and to
increase the agony, it was an hour
late, and in the meantime little hint
o. a wedding passed through the i'm
patient crowd, and then the question
mark grew to be whopper, and the
agony grew most entense. The train
did come as they most always do, and
to our relief, teachers and trustee be-
gan to make their appearance, and
the cut of eyes and pleasant smiles
that played between the arrivals made
some regret that they failed to use
ltke rice which had been suggested, SO
strong was the evidence, and yet we
were still in the dark and suspense
till the news was broken to US that II
was only a little picnic given by one
| OF the teachers Of Melrose, Fla. in
honor of Mr.. ". L. Brinson, our trus-
| tee.
Representative n. Mayo of Sum
nerfield was making some business
calls in. Oxford last week.
Mr.. W. J. Chiffon, one of the Legal
lights of Bushnell, had a case before
the justice court of Oxford last Mon
day.

Ocala payed Oxford a visit last Sun

A FARM AND GROVE CITY

A modern farm and grove develop
ment is under way on the west An
thony road in this county about a
mile and quarter west of Kendrick
and about three miles southwest of
Anthony. Mr.. Charles Painter and
Mr.. Parker Painter, owners of the
Broadacres dairy farm of something
like 900 acres, are dividing about 300
acres into small farms and groves.
Attractive, modern bungalows will be
built on the tracts of ten acres and up
and the farms with their improve
ments are being sold before the build
ings can be completed. The bunga-
lows are being designed and built by
Mr.. w. E. Johnson, formerly of West
Palm Beach. The first two places
with their bungalows were sold before
the houses were completed. Mr.. R. III.
Coale of Baltimore, purchased the
first tract of twenty acres on which
had been built four-room bungalow.
He will plant a small orange grove
and will do some trucking in an in
tensive way and will raise poultry
The second place of thirty acres was
sold to Mr.. I. L. Pridgen of Black
stone, Va part owner of the Tweede-
side Dairy of that place. The bunga-
low purchased by Mr.. Pridgen con-
tains five rooms but two additiona
rooms are being added. Mr.. Pridger

gage in trucking and poultry raising
He will also keep few dairy cows.

90 PER CENT. FLORIDA
PEOPLE VICTIMS
Startling Statement Made by a Re
nowned Visitor in Jacksonville

Jacksonville, Nov. 23.-According
Ito the RECUMA man, who is here in
PRODUCING the phenomenal new treat
ment known as RECUMA, Ninety
per cent of the people who suffer from
nervousness, Indigestion, dyspepsia,
constipation, biliousness, malaria, ir-
|ritability, loss of weight, lack Of
strength and energy, can trace their
trouble almost directly to their stom-
ach, liver, bowels and kidneys.
Such ailments come about for no
Ic-her reason than the failure of your
system to properly digest, assimilate
and eliminate the food you eat, so
your nerves, tissue, muscles and brain
ate nourished every day, and all waste
matter is eliminated promptly.
"It is true that many things have
been offered to the public to rid them
Of such troubles, but not until the RE-
lCUMA treatment was perfected has
Ianything truly reliable been available.
This is proven by the fact that RE-
ICUMA is relieving literally hundreds
every day, who have tried many diff
ferent kinds of medicines and treat
'nents without the sign of relief"
Recuma Convinces
Druggists say nothing more con-
Ivincing than RECUMA has ever been
seen in Florida, and the Anti-Monop-
oily Drug Store has added its praise
to this phenomenal new treatment
by recommending it to its friends and
customers.-Adv.

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

Uncle Ben, I see in the last issue
of the Star where you made some
comment on Putnam county not being
able to pay off her teachers for last
year until now. What's the matter
with old Marion county, the richest
county in the state? The teachers
are on their third month and have
not received any pay yet. There must
be loose screw somewhere here in
our own county. Of course. they
haven't the money to pay with, bnt
we can pay the superintendent S20J
month, S100 for his assistant and
S135 for attendance officer. This last
office is absolutely useless and l think
an imposition on our already over
burdened tax paying people, and it
seems to be the same way with the
county commissioners. Our roads are
in an awful condition. and almost i'm
passable in some places. They say
they have no funds with which to
work the roads, but it's an easy mat
ter to pay out $1,000 for county en-
GINGER and 5000 for a demonstration
agent, which is useless to nine-tenths
of the farmers, especially the little
farmers, who need him most. This
money would be better spent if used
for repairing the roads. This looks
like straining at a gnat and going
around on the other side of the house
and swallowing a camel.
Tax Payer.
The trouble with Marion county
Friend Taxpayer, is more from out
side the county than in it. Marion
county, from all we are able to learn
has an exceptionally able schoo
board, but it's members have to com
ply with the foolish and extravagan
school system of the state, which un
less reformed, will in a few NOR,
years, in company with other ill-man
aged institutions, raise taxes so higl
that the people will not be able to pay
The only remedy for this is to elec
legislators who will reform the sys
tenn and check the extravaganza. Now
as for the county engineer, he wa
only Installed last week, so he is no
in the least responsible for the ba
condition of the roads. If he is
competent man, and we believe he is
he will save money for US and Civ
us better highways. Seven thousan
dollars seems like lot of money, bu
our present system of road wor
wastes much more than that, an
gives US very little to show for i
The only thing for the people of Flor
ida to do to obtain better condition
is to elect better men to office, an
that improvement must be not onl
for some of the counties but state
wide.

POKER GAME DELAYED TRAIN
Group Of 'Tired Business Men" See
Blue Chips In Plenty, but No
Azure Skies.

The twin propellers keep up their
''poom, poom" while the tired business
men are pouring over the gangplank
for the homeward trip down the bay,
for the Sandy Hook flyers take pride
in sliding away from the pier at rail-
road speed. But that musical ''poom
poom" Is as stimulating to the tired
business men as the tom-tom is to the
dusky dwellers of the Congo country,
bridge, poker, hearts and what not
with which to beguile the trip to At
lantic Highlands
So fascinating are those rites with
the clicking of red, white and blue
chips, that the card players still lin
ger over their game after the speedy
Monmouth or the Sandy Hook has
tied up at the Atlantic Highlands pier,
and 1t Ia with difficulty that they are
shooed ashore to board the trains
waiting to carry them to their summer
homes. And that makes problem for
the railroad men, for the starting of
the trains Is delayed by the dawdling
of the yotaries Of the Goddess of
Chance.
Especially hypnotic is the ''poom,
poom" of the 5 20 boat which carries
a crowded convention Of tired busi-
ness men to their homes In Monmouth
county. Their one thought seems to
be to exchange the excitement of
stocks for the excitement of cards,
and the boat becomes q. floating ca
sino. Blue water, flying clouds, ocean
traffic and sea breezes-all are disre-
| garded, because the tired business
man insists on playing exactly as he
| works.-New York Sun.

Mrs. Dave Ulmer of Santos gave a
candy pulling for the Senior B. Y. P.
L. last week which was well attended
by this union and many friends of the

Mrs. John Coin entertained the
Junior B. Y. P. U. Thursday afternoon
al her home on Orange avenue. Mrs.
Coin had cleverly planned games to
amuse the juniors who heartily en-
joyed eevry moment Of the time. A
large picture of a donkey, minus the
tail, had been tackled up and each
child was given a chance to pin the
tail on, after being blindfolded 1--WE
mean the child was blindfolded and
not the tail.) This game afforded
much fun and the first and second
prizes were awarded the lucky girl
and boy by Mrs. Coin. Then a guess
ing contest and bobbing for the ap-
pie created much merriment, after
which Mrs. Coin served fruit, delic-
ious oranges and big, rosy-cheeked ap-
pies to merry group of rosy-cheeked
iyCung Americans. Suspicious noises
in the kitchen and delightful odor OF
candy being cooked attracted atten.
ton just here and the children were
soon called on to pull candy which
they did. Mrs. Coin then spread .
pretty white cloth on a table in the
yard and assisted by Mrs. Dave VI
mer and Mrs. Peyton Liddell served
cake (no, cakes and cakes) and am
brosia, supplemented by delightful
cold lemonade. If it were possible fol
the juniors to become any sweete
they would now be "too utterly to,
zoo" Little Miss Claribel Coin wa
also celebrating her birthday on thi
happy occasion and was the recipien
of some nice presents and many goo,
wishes. The juniors and their leade

who helped to make this social sucl

We are not happy today and it's
all our own fault. We went to that
3. and P. W. supper last night and ate
too much. We arrived a little late,
ard consequently had to wait (no
rhyme intendedl While awaiting our
turn, one of the prettygirl mattresses
came by with a basket of rolls, and
we took one 1t was good. and when
the next basket came by we took an
other. Following this system, we cap
tured six rolls, eating four and put
ting two in our pockets, before called
to a table. When we sat down, the
previous boarder's plate was in front
of us, and waiter, thinking we were
just finishing, gave US piece of pie.
This we chewed up and put the plate
in our lap, only to have its place on
the table taken by a plateful of saad.
This we also disposed of and put the
plate in our lap, just as our regular
waiter began serving our supper
oyster cocktail, more salad, turkey
and fixings, coffee and pie. We got
away with all of it except the pie,
ard while we could have eaten that
our conscience informed US that if
we did we would have to be helped to
our feet and carried home in a wheel
barrow. The principal system of the
supper last night seemed to be that
Everybody should have enough and
then some. The next B. and P. W
supper we attend. a waiter must, be
detailed to see that we have enough
and not too much (P. S.: We didn't
carry off any of the plates.)
