We were unable to confer with any

rumored here for some time that this

large tourist hotel on the property,
together with the largest and best
golf links and tennis courts in the
state. and it is generally understood
that work will begin very soon.
A reporter conferred with Mr.. II.
NJ. Hampton, attorney for Mr.. Car
michael, and he informed US that
there was no question that the trans
action was closed, and that the new
company proposed large and extensive
improvements, but he was unable to

o. HENRY'S INSPIRATION

Lithopolis, o., Oct. 4.-Lithopolians
of o. Henry fame. characters upon
whom he loved to dwell in facetious
manner, are no more, but it has the
same business district, the same
four churches and it's stone quarry
remotely resembling an industry. You
will look in vain for Lithopolis in the
railroad tables. but the paling fences
on Columbus, South and Main Streets
do not bar neighborly conversations.
The villages scenic atmosphere has
changed but little in the years that
have passed since o. Henry's Letters
to Lithopolis" were inspired back in
1903.
The recipient of these letters was
Miss Mabel Wagnalls. whose mother,
Mrs. Hester Wagnalls, and grand
mother, Mrs. Mary Willis are buried
in the beautiful little cemetery "on
the hill on the road out of town..
Miss Wagnall's father, at one time
a Lutheran minister, is the senior
member of the publishing firm that
bears his name. Miss Wagnalls now
is Mrs. Richard Jones of New York.
Alta Jungkurth, the tombstone lady,,
is in Columbus. The Willis home
stead, where Mabel Wagnalls visited,
has burned down and the Lutheran
church, which adjoined it, is building
a parsonage on its site.
The drug store is still operated by
L. S. Bennett and "indulges in litera-
ture on the side" The butcher and
barber shops still grace the "business
district" and the postoffice remains
the social center of the town.
One objection is voiced over the
statement in the preface of the letters
by Lithopolis people-that written by
Mabel Wagnalls saying ga new house
is never added. Rather than do this,
people leave the town, or diet is
cheaper"
Lithopolis people are proud of their
town for its stimulus to the imagin-
alton of a genius-even for so brief
a period-and they are proud of their
former townspeople that so became
noted. They live here because they
love the town, they declare; the grave
yard on the hill is held in reverent
esteem, and they tell you that when
they die, no matter where, they'd like
to be buried in Lithopolis.

START FOOTBALL
SEASON AT SANFORD

The o. H. S. Wildcats begin their
schedule in Sanford next Saturday
afternoon when they take on the San
ford high school. Coach Bitch is con-
fident that his team will be able to
clean up with its opponents and IS
carving with him a bunch of enthus-
iastic rooters to help the team bring
home the bacon.
The team will leave Ocala Friday
afternoon in cars for Sanford IN order
that they may have good nights rest
and be ready for a real struggle Sat-
urdav afternoon. Quite number OF
car loads of rooters will go over both
on Friday afternoon and Saturday
morning. Coach Bitch suggests that
if anybody is planning to make the
trip and has an extra seat IN their
car that they make an attempt to NIL
it with some full-lunged, loud-volced,
football-loving high school scholar
who can put in a good yell for the
Wildcats. Owing to a recent ruling
of the high school athletic committee
several of the team will be unable to
plav in this game. a new rule calls
for entrance examinations from all
pupils who did not attend all the pre-
vious year and this rule is so recent
that the examinations have not yet
been taken.

AUXILIARY OF
THE AMERICAN LEGION
Ex-Service Men at Lake City Want
Flower Seeds, Cuttings Or
Plants

The American Legion Auxiliary of
Marion County Post No. q met last
night in its rooms at the armory, with
Mrs. R. L. Anderson, president, pre-
siding.
A letter from the American Red
Cross at the Lake City hospital was
read, asking for flower seeds, cuttings,
bulbs or plants suitable for planting
at this time of the year. The patients
of this hospital are interested in
starting some flower beds on the res
ervation. A content will be run be-
tween the different wards and the
ward producing the best flower bed
will receive a prize. The auxiliary
is going to send the boys some seeds
ard plants and knowing how desirous
everyone is of making life less bur-
densome for the wounded and sick ex-
service men, is asking that anyone
who has extra seds, geranium cut
tings, lily bulbs, Shasta daisy plants
Or other plants for transplanting,
send these on the morning of Oct. 10
to Miss Mary C. Marshall at the Mar
ion County Hospital. The auxiliary
will pack them and send them to the
Lake City hospital. This seems like
a very small thing to do for the boys
who gave so much for US but it will
mean a great deal to them and their
appreciation will more than repay
any trouble in doing this.
Miss Burford, chairman of the well
fare committee, reported that the
Marion County Auxiliary had sent
years subscription to the Lake City
Hospital for both the American and
the Saturday Evening Post maga-
zines and that last month two barrels
of jellies, jams, pickles, tobacco, Gig
arettes and other groceries were
shipped to the hospital from this
unit.
Another worthy work which the
auxiliary is taking up is the care and
education of the orphans of the
World War. Anyone who knows of
any children whose father was lost in
the World War and who is in need
should notify Miss Mary Burford.
The following new members were
announced: Mrs. W. G. Ray, Miss
Pearl Ray, Miss Keeffe. Mrs. T. B.
Shook, Miss Grace Shook and Miss
Margaret Shook.
At the close of very profitable and
interesting meeting, refreshments
were served to the post and the auxil-
iary by the following hostesses: Mrs.
Carl Ray, Mrs. Parker Painter, Mrs.
Parry of Lowell, Mrs. Sistrunk and
Mrs. George MacKay. M. NJ. NJ.

ANTELOPE THREATENED
WITH EXTINCTION

Yellowstone Park, Wyo., Oct. A
The American antelope is threatened
with extinction, according to officials
here Of the department of the interior.
Unless extensive protective measures
are taken, officials declared, an AMI
NAL widely admired for its coloring,
delicate proportions and zephyr-like
movements soon will be seen only in
museums.
There are probably not more than
1900 antelope remaining in the Unit
ed States, according to statement,
ard the total number in the park is
about $50. In 1908 the number was
estimated as 1000.
The cause of the antelope has been
taken up by the American Bison So
ciety of New York. A number of So
cieties interested in game preservat-
ion will meet Jointly in the east soon
to considerf a program to protect the
antelope. Proposed measures include
provision for an adequate winter
range for Yellowstone herds, and for
herds remaining in Oregon, Nevada,
Idaho, Wyoming, Utah and California.
Last winter nearly a third OF the
Yellowstone Park herds were lost as
a result of the heavy SHOWS and the
depredations of coyotes. wolves and
mountain lions. A part of this loss
was made up by birth of the young
this spring.
The most serious menace to their
preservation here is the absence OF
suitable winter range, according to
these officials. Besides running the
risk of starvation, owing to scant for
age il the SHOWS are deep. they are
easv prey for predatory animals.
The possible winte' range for ante
lone here at present is about 3,Ooo
acres. which must be shared with the
deer, elk and other grazing ANIMALS
The summer range covers about lOO,'
600 acres.
Park authorities will withdraw part
of the summer range from tourist
use next season, as the presence OF
tourists il said to keen the nervous
anomals on the qui vive and to inter
fere with breeding.
