GROWERS INTERESTED-
The farmers of Alachun county arebottoming Interested In tho Corn
being conducted by The Sunwith the result that specimens arenow on display at this office that willdispel nil doubt should any existthat the soil of Florida and Alachuacounty In particular will produce thebeet quality of the staff of life andwith the least labor and expense
Two entries were made Thursdaythe specimens submitted In each
Instance are substantial testimonials-of the fertility and productivitythe soil of this section
D H Dupree of Arredondo submitted a stalk over eleven feet long con-taining two ears each of which willweigh a pound This corn was raisedon the Holly plantation at Arredondoand no fertilizer was used in Its culti-vation It is of the White Prolific va-
riety seed and the soll nponwhich it grew has been cultivated formany years 31r Dupree has a cropof plnders upon the same land
R F Ormond who resides betweenHawthorn and Campvllle entered fourstalks containing twelveed and finelymatured ears A por-
tion of the corn Is from White Prolificseed while the other was grown fromOrmonds Improved stock the growerhaving experimented for several yearsIn securing a variety that is especiallyadapted to the soil and which willat the saute time produce a good yieldMr Ormonds corn was grown on pineland a small quantity of fertilizermostly from the cowpen and stablebeing used lie states that many ofthe stalks in his field this year con-
tained five and six ears and the fieldover averaged between three and fourears to the stalk He has a crop ofplndcrs between the corn rows andalso has a splendid sweet potato cropthe yield of which Is estimated atnearly a thousand bushels Some ofhis sweet potato crop last year netted him 140 per bushel
ENCOURAGE COUNTRY TRADE
An There oughtto be a rest room for the farmerswives in every town One I visitedrecently bad lunch tables couches andplaythings for the children and isfree to all women Any country wo-
man will understand what a conven-ience such a room Is after a long driveThe town should look after its coun-try friends Here is a splendid sug-gestion to Madison and other townsthat are desirous of Increasing theircountry trade Such a room could bebuilt and equipped at very small costby the merchants coming together andcontributing to the cause It wouldProvo a wonderful drawing card forour country fronds and we venture-to assert that its presence wouldprove n wonderful Incentive to Increased trade Let our business menconsider the proposition Madison En
The above is a splendid suggestion-and could be considered with profit bythe business men of Gainesville Thepatronage of our country friendsshould bo encouraged in every waypossible and they should be made tofeel that It Is appreciated
Thu establishment and maintenanceof a rest room would require but asmall outlay and would no doubt bothe means of bringing many to Gaines-ville who now do their trading elsewhere-
It Is a matter to which the Boardof Trade should give their attention

inson wife of Mr F A Robinsondied at her home In Worthington Flaafter an Illness of only a few days
Mrs Robinson was a daughter of
Mr and sirs L R Jones of RochelleAlachua county Fla at which placehe was born October 30 1SS She
was married November 9 1908 andlived in Rochelle until May 1909
when she moved to Worthingtonwith her husband
She leaves to mourn for her a de-
voted husband one little girl babyonly a few days old a father andmother three sisters and one brotherbesides a large number of other rela-
tives and friendsThe death of sirs Robinson cast a
deep gloom over the entire commun-ity for she was held In the highestesteem by everybody She was amember of the Rochelle Methodistchurch at the time of her death andwas not only faithful to her ownrhurch and Sunday school but toother denominations She was a wo-
man of high ideals and noble char-acter which manifested itself In
constant deeds of neighborliness andhelpfulness toward those who wereIn need She was always cheerfuland scattered sunshine all around herwherever she went A good womansometimes accomplishes more In herdeath than even In life she beingdead yet Bpeaketb
To have known the deceased wasto have loved her She was lovedhonored and respected by all whoknew her and she will be greatlymissed not only by her Immediatefamily but by everyone throughout-the entire section
We extend to the brokenheartedhusband and ach member of thefamily our deepest and most profoundsympathy and may the Supreme Rulerhelp them to bear up in this their sadhour of trouble
As a wife she was kind and affec-tionate as a neighbor was alwaysready to lend a helping hand Wefeel that her passing out was only fall-ing asleep and our loss Is her eternalgainHer
pastor conducted the funeralservices In the Methodist church atRochelle In the presence of a largegathering of friends whose hearts beatIn genuine sympathy for the
family She was laid to restIn Oak Ridge Cemetery to await thecall of her Savior on the resurrectionmorn believing that her hope wasstayed In God Till glorious to gointo the presence of God where theLord Jesus has reigned supreme Inlife tis consolation Indeed to thosewho weep when they weep not asthose who have no hope
A place Is vacant in their heartsA voice they loved Is still
A place Is vacant In their homeWhich never can be filled
Call not back the dear departedAnchored safe where storms are
oerOn the border land we left you
Soon to meet and part no more
When we leave this world of changesWhen we leave this world of care
We shall find those gone before usIn our Fathers mansion fair

RESEMBLED OLD TIMES-
A Team Came from FairbanksLoaded Down With Cotton
From Saturdays Dally SunA mo t striking scene in towpurisoii
to modern tines when automobilesand other menus of transportation areso common was the tears of six oxenor three yokes which drove throughthe streets Wednesday the wagon
vehicle with high oak BUD
tarts reminding the pioneer citizens-of the good old days when livingwas living sure enough
The team which was owned anddriven by a colored man attracted agreat deal of attention as It wendedIts way slowly but surely through-the various thoroughfares of the cityThe wagon was loaded with cottonthe product also the property of theowner of the team whom we under-stand disposed of the staple at a fairprice
Many years ago before Gainesvilleever donned her city clothes thoseteams were common on the streetsbut of late years they have been
for something more modernHowever It did the good tolook once more upon one of the scenesof former days
A New York corporation to dealwith hoboes Is the latest It Is a fairinference that in the management ofthis corporations affairs a great dealof watering would be not only bene-ficial but even necessary
