Editor Star I have just read in the Banner another long letter in which Senator Call abuses Rev. T. C. Porter without stint. As this is the second letter of the kind within a month, interlarded by various squibs of similar import from the editorial spirit of the Banner, I cannot refrain from re marking that Mr. Porter seems to be giving Senator Call and his friends much trouble just now. But is this the point at issue? Even if all that our senior senator alleges against" Mr. Porter be true and we that know him, must have better' authority for believing it does it establish that Mr. Call is fit for re-election? I am not in cerested in Mr. Porter's personal character, -except as he comes into business or social contact with me; but I am, as a citizen of Florida, very much interested in the fact that the man wh j represents this st.ite in the senate should possess the necessary qual -fixations for suoh a high position. Senator Call's disposition to abuse ariose who disagree with him is well known. We have been hear ing his denunciations of his oppo nents ior the last dozen years, but we have not heard in all that time of one statesmanlike action he has performed. Are there not men better q lalifi-d than he to fill the rlac;? That is the question that concerns the taxpayers. Citizen. THE METHODIST CHURCH At tho ;First Methodist church there will b: services tomorrow as follows: Sun lay school at 9:30 a.m. Preichin.5 at 11 a. m. and 7:30 p. m. Subject for evening sermon will be "Hevenly Recognition. Epworth L sague prayer meeting at 6:30 p. m. Regular prayer meeting Wednes day at 7:30 p. m. Seats are free and all are invited to attend all the services. A BIG LOAN. The largest draft ever received in Ocala through a building and loan association was received on the 19'h by M. M. Little from his company, the Covenant Build ing and Loan Association, of Knoxville, Tenn. The draft was for $4000, ROYAL ARCH. The Royal Arch Chapter and Knights Templar Commandery held an election of officers in this city last Wednesday. They will hold a conclave in Washington next month. C. Vfc McCoy, the well known barber, will go as a delegate from Florida. MAKING HAY. Capt. Pooser had the court house yard mowed this morning with his two-horse mowing ma chine. Everybody around the square watched the operation as though it was a circus. GO TO FARMING. If more of our young men would follow the example of Glover Miller, J. I. Finney and others, and till the productive soil of Marion county, instead of hanging around town trying to eke out a living without much work, they would soon become of more use to them selves and their country.

Temperance Column. By the O: ila Temperance Reform Club. Edited by J. A. Munden. The Club meets every Sunday afternoon at four o'clock in Temperance Hail. The Public are invited. WHO IS IT Who is it that buys houses and lands andi struts in fine clothes with the money which might have kept your family from being turn into the street and from going to rags? The saloon keeper. Who is it that takes your last cent for his poisonous drinks and shuts the door in the face of your wife when she asks credit for a five-cent loaf of bread? Tne saloon-keeper. Wno is it, when your money and reputation are gone, and you have no friends to pay for your drinks, will take you by the collar and kick you into the gutter? The saloon-keeper. Who is it that robs you of sense and reason, puts you lower than brutes and beasts, drives you into jail and penitentiaries, and sends you to the galluw&? The saloon-keeper. Is this man, who lives by crush ing human hearts, the man you should delight to honor? Throw his chain off your neek -and shake his clutches from off your soul. Z ton's Watchword. There are 5,000,000 voters in the United States who are church members. If they would act inde pendently and vote together on the temperance question, there is no political party that they ,could not bring to terms. Joseph Cook.

Let every farmer borrow every cent that he can, securing the capitalist on farm and stock, tools, hay, grain, feed, growing crops, bees, hornets, fruits, timber lands, hereditaments aud appurten ances thereunto belonging or in any wise appertaining every thing, in fact, of which he is law fully seized, whether in tee simple, in escheat or possession, expecta tion, reversion, felony attaind er, champetry, forfeiture, dower, elee mosynary rights, inheritance, by tenure or at sufferance, by con quest or grand larceny, a freehold or for life or during good behavior, to have and to hold forever. 2. Go on farming, 3. Farm some more. 4 Farm until the cows are seen to be in the act of coming home. 5. When asked for principal or interest, simp'y regret in a gentle manly way that you are unable to pay same, which will be absolutely true if my own experience amounts to anything1 whatever. 6. Do this patiently until fore closed, and then hire 'out by the month to farm the place, as the capitalist, of course, docs not know how to farm. 7. I know of no better way to get even with capital than to com pel it to own the farms, ketp them in repair and have them operated. a I2xi3 111(1 0 Ul GORDON. Fountain and Steam fixtures.

p HOW MY BOY WENT DOWN. Jt was net on the fi'-M cf little. It was net with a ?hip at ea, liut a fate far worse than either That stole him away from me. ''J was the death in the ruddy wine cup, That the reason and senses drown; He drank the alluring poison, And thus my hoy went down. Down from the heights of manhood, To the depths of dis;rrace and sin; Down to a worthies o in. From the hopes of v. h.t miht have ljeen. For the brand of a Least blotted, He burten.-d his ruarihooTs crown; Through the gate of a -.inlul pleasure JUy poor, weak boy went down.

The work of the farmhouse was over for the day; the children -with the exception ct the oldest son, who had gone to the village were in bed, and in the big com fortable kitchen Farmer Harwood, Ms wife, and his wife's sister, Mrs. Lucas, were sitting around a cen ter table. The farmer was reading 51 paper, his wife was putting a patch on the knee of iittle Harry's diminutive knickerbockers, and Mrs. Lucas was crocheting a hood of blue and white zephyr for a small niece. There was silence in the kitchen, save for the snapping of the fire in the stove, the ticking of the big eight-day clock in the corner and the rustle of the farmer's news paper, and when Mrs. H3rwood sighed deeply, both htr s'ster and hr buband looked uo m surprise. "What's the inait-r, Sarah?" asked the latter. "That sigh was the loudest I ever heard you give. Has anything gone wron? You look as though you have a?big lead on your mind." "I have," answered the wife. And it is a load you must share, jEli. I have borne it alone as long as I can bear it. There is great irouWe in store for us, husband George is going to leave the farm Tne newspaper fell to the fl ort and for a moment the farmer looked at his wif too much sur prised to utter a word. "Going to leave the farm!" he replied at last. ''Sarah, you must be dreaming." Mrs. Harwi od shook her head s?.dlv. "1 wish" I were," she said. "No, Eli, it is true, George has made up his mind to leave us. I have noticed for. rr'.ntns past that he seemed 3issat lifted and restless, and since you sold Vixen he h'is grumbled a great deal about work and the dullness of his life. And today I iieard him say to Jasper Flint that he would not be here a month from now; that he had enough of farm life; and if we refused our consent to k he would run away and take 3iii chances. 'We 'il see about that," said the larmer, angrily. "Consent to it! I rather think not! I won't consider it lor a moment. What would he be worth a year from now if I let him go! He'd fall in with all sorts of rascals in the city, and get us all into trouble. .Besides. I need him here. It'll be ten years at least before Harry can take his place, and he's got to stay if I've got to tie him down." "Why don't you want to make Jiim stay, Eh?" asked the gentle woice of his sister-in-law. "If he's got the city fever on him all the talking in the world wouldn't do any good," rejoined the farmer. "He wouldn't listen to a word." 'Don't talk. Don't let him ever suspect that you are aware of his desire to leave you. Try a new plan, Eli, a pan I have been think ing of all day' "The best JbJan I know of is to tell him mv mind freely, without any beating about the bush, and the sooner' slits done the better." 'Nov, El?, don't b.- above takinc a woman's advice. Let me tell you how to deal with George. 1 have been here three months nov, and have taken a deep interest io the boy. I have seen his diss inf raction, and recognized the cuie. I have heard him ta king to jasper Flint mre Hi an once, and ooiy yesterday I heard him say that it ne went to the city what he earned woukl be his own, but that here he worked from dawn to dark, and was no better off at the end of the year than at the beg'nnmg. He says Tom Blythe who is in a gro cerv store in the city, gets 12 a week, and Tom is only seventeen. Now, if you want George to stay on the farm give him an interest in it, Eli. He is eighteen years old, and has worked faithfully for you ever since he could talk plain. He has his food and lodging, and two suits of clothes a year, to be sure, but all he actually owns is the collie dog which is always at his hc Is. You even sold the only horse you had that was fit for the saddle, and George was extremely fond of Vixen." "It seems a pity to keep a horse that no one but George ever rode, s?id the farmer, "and she was too light for work. I'm a por man, Hester, and can't afford playthings for my children You can better afford to keep an extra horse than to have your s n leave vou, E'i Whom could you get that would take th i inter est in the work that George has? You have thought it only right that Ceorge should do a big share toward running the farm, and have considered your duty done in giv ing him a home. You are disposed to think him ungrateful because he wants to leave you now that every year makes his services more valu able. But the boy is ambitious, and is not satisfied to travel in a circle. He wants to make some headway, and it's only natural." The farmer leaned his head on his hand, a look of deep thought on his grave, weather-beaten face. His gentle sister-in-law's plain speaking had given rise to thoughts which had never before entered his head. "I believe you are more than half right, Hester," he said at last. "I'll think it all over tonight, and make up my mind what to do. I'd be lost here without George, and he shan't leave the farm if I can help it." "Force won't keep him, Eli; re member that," and Mrs. Lucas, feeling that she h?.d said enough, folded up her work, and taking up a lamp from a shelf by the stove went upstairs to her own room. Just at daybreak she was aroused from a sound sleep by the sound of horses hoofs in the yard, and look ing out of the window shz saw Eii trotting away on Roan. "Where can he be going at this hour?" When she came down stairs at 6 o'clock George was standing by the kitchen table, hav ing just come in with two pails of milk. His face wore a disco r ten ted, unhappy look, and he merely nodded in return for his aunt's 1 IT I A MT Air -to HITTING ter plan than cxamiuiiig' our immense stock of Furniture and House Furnishing' Goods.

A tew minutes later his father entered, but George who had gone to one of the windows and was looking out dejectedly, did not even glance up. "You were out early, Kb," said Mrs. Lucas, "I heard ou ride away at daybreak." "Yes, I went to Pine Ridge on a matter ot business." "That's where you sold Vixen, papa, isn't il?" asked little Harry,

and Mrs. Lucas saw a quiver pass over Georges face as the child spoke. "Yes. mv bov, I sold Vixen to a Lawyer Stanley. George," turn f i ing to nis son, ve maae up my mind to part with that fifty acre lot by the river. What do you think of that?" price tor it sir," said the y.oung

"Give it away!'' repeated George, roused out of his indifference and staring at his father as if he thought he had not heard aright "Yes, deeded it, every inch of it, to seme one I think a great deal of, and who deserves it," laying his hand on his son's shoulder, and his voice weakened a little. "I'm go- inc-to give it to my son, George li: ..i ua

"This this seems too much, sir," sttmmered George, "I don't know how to thank you." "Too much!
