MARY BUHNER DESERVES
THE CARNEGIE MEDAL

st. Petersburg has a girl, Miss
the Carnegie medal. but the undying
respect and admiration of every man
and woman who hears or reads of her
unsurpassed heroism, the story of
which is told in the following dis
patch:
St. Petersburg, June 26-The lure
of the sea is replete with tales of
heroism, but none excels that of the
unsuccessful attempt of Miss Mary
Buhner to save the life of her chum,
Dorothy McClatchie, after one of the
latter's legs was gashed in two places
by the vicious attack of a monster
barracuda-the tiger of the sea.
The girls were swimming off the
pier here, a mile out. A few yards
separated them. Suddenly there was
a scream. The water about Miss Nc
Claiche was being lashed by an I'M
seed force. A circle of crimson ap-
peared about Miss McClatchie.
Miss Buhner took in the situation
at a glance. Her chum had been at
tackled by a sea monster. The thought
of similar fate did not deter her. A
few powerful strokes and she was be-
side the sea tigers victim.
90! I'm bitten,'' the unfortunate
girl cried. "My foot's gone"
Undaunted by the fact that the
monster might return to the attack
at any moment Miss Buhner began to
tow her friend toward the shore.
"Kiss me, Mary, Pm going" Miss
McClatchie's voice was weak. Her
body relaxed.
Then for .thirty-five minutes Miss
Buhner kept her friend afioat as she
swan toward the beach towing the
lifeless body. At last a boat picked
her up. But Miss McClatchie was al
ready dead.
Miss Buhner is recuperating from
the effects of her heroic effort. Her
muscles are swollen and torn from the
almost superhuman effort.

NEW LIFE IN SUMTER
(Times Union)

Sumter county, west of Lake and
south of Marion, is one of the oldest
counties of Florida. It is blessed
with rich soil, climatic conditions are
favorable; has railroad transportation
facilities and many other advantages
common to other prospecting and ad-
vancing Florida counties. But it has
stood still. The big freeze" of '95
not only paralized the citrus industry
of that county but, apparently the
very energies of the people. The
county languished because progress
halted. There were indications of the
fact that Sumter county was not
keeping up with the procession that is
so triumphantly making its way
through other Florida counties, bring
ing to them prosperity that is amaz-
ing.
Now, however, new life is evident in
Sumter county. Through the old but
still strong arteries coursing blood
that is impregnated with progress
germs. The result is an awaking, a
putting forth of vigorous efforts, in

worthy examples of Lake and Mar

that are in the ranks of progress that
are achieveing wonderful results be-
cause of practical, energetic, persist

more than a mere place on the map
of Florida, making for themselves
that advancement which brings with il
prosperity in proportion to the efforts
put forth.

FOR ROAD IMPROVEMENT

The Marion County Motor Club has
been informed that the field secre-

Automobile Association has succeed
ed, through the Alachua County Motor
Club, Gainesville. in getting the bond
trustees of Alachua county, of which
Major w. r. Thomas is chairman, to
roll and scrape highway No. 2 from
Gainesville south to the Marion coun-
ty line, via Micanopy. The Alachua
county officials have also agreed to
keep a permanent maintenance crew
on this road at all times, SO that it
will remain in first class travelable
condition in all kinds of weather. This
means that from the north boundary
of Alachua to the south there will be
a good passable highway, the stretch
north of Gainesville having been
paved.
The Marion County Motor Club is
also informed that the branches of the
A. A. A. in Columbia and Hamilton
counties have arranged for permanent
maintenance crews on the highway
