PAY UP, BOYS.

Editor Star: | read with interest
the article in the Star regarding the
little boys and their mishaps with
skates. 1t is right that such acts
should be taken notice of.
Here is another: There is an old
colored woman called Aunt Ann Bos-
tick. living about three mites south of
Martel. On the night of the 7th of
this month, she came home after a
hard days work (which is "a nightly
occurrence with Aunt Anna). While
cooking supper, two young white
men, with dogs and guns, came to her
door. They were lost, tired and hun
CRY and they could go no further.
She gave them supper. For supper
they ate seven biscuit, two large
glasses of buttermilk, two cups of
coffee apiece, also about half pound
of cheese and corresponding amount
of butter: in fact, a large part of the
old woman's Sunday provisions. While
they were so occupied Aunt Annals
son went to Martel and procured a
car to take the unfortunates home, to
Ocala.
On leaving they expressed their
warm appreciation of the treatment
they had received, and told her to go
to certain party in Martel on the
following Wednesday and she would
receive pay for the supper, and also
for her sons trouble in going for the
car.
Up until now she has heard moth
ing from them and says she doesn't
expect to. Now, the value of one Of
their guns or dogs would be fully
equal to all of Aunt Annals. posses.
sions.
Aunt Annals actions go to show
that the milk of human kindness j:
still in existence, but what about tn.
sense of gratitude? Yours,

GouRp NECK

Gourd Neck, Jan. 16.-Mr. George
Yarbrough is busily engaged prepar-
ing his large farm for early planting.
George is a hustling young farmer
and with the help of his brother, who
is at present making his home with
him, there is no reason why he should
not make success.
Some one asked about Gourd Neck
and where it is. / shall try and give
correct history of it. Many years
ago there/was tribe of Indians liv-
ing at what is now known as Gourd
Neck. Some pale faces told an old
Indian chief there was gold buried on
his reservation and if he would dig a
large hole there he would find enough
gold to build golden wigwams for his
tribe. The old Indian started in to
dig and he kept digging until there
wasn't anything left of him but his
eyebrows and whiskers, and in the
meantime he had dug such large
hole that the sand he took from the
hole formed a neck of land some ff-
teen or twenty miles wide and If you
should ever go on what is called Mud
Lake you viii see that the old Indian
was responsible for the large body
of water that is now known as Mud
Lake. The neck of land was later
owned by the government and man
by the name of Finch from Texas.
took up a homestead and the first year
he planted a few hills of gourd seed.
He was called away and when he re-
turned he discovered that his gourds
had come up and the land being 50
rich the vines grew so fast that they
wore the little gourds out dragging
them ON the ground until there was
nothing left but necks, and ever since
then people have called this commu-
Unity Gourd Neck.
