TYPES OF SOUTHERN BEAUTIES.

her picture, which the Bauner takes pleasure iu reproducing: .
“M 18-s May Martin, whose picture adorns this page, is the acknowledged
belle of Ocala, Marion couuty, Florida. Bbe is the daughter of Col. Jno. M.
Martin, who bef ue the wa. was a wealthy Florida plainer aud during the war
served the Confederacy with great courage, fidelity and distinction. On both
sides of the family there is the best blood of the south, and Miss Martin in
herits all the noble qu ili'ies aud the fine instincts which distinguished her
ancestors. She is a decided brunette, with a clear skin, silky black hair and
dark brown eyes that are most fascinating in their expression. She is of
medium height and has a most shapely and graceful figure. She is always
gowned in excellent taste aud is very foud of society. In disposition Mis?
Martin is sweet and kindly, and her manners are most gracious and winning.
She is a great favorite with the young people of her own sex as well as with
the young men, and elderly people, both men and women, are in love with
her because of her unusual consideration of them. Miss Martin is now visit
ing friends in this city aud has won much admiration during her visit here.
The Leaf-Chronicle, of Clarksville, Tenn., recently paid Miss Martiu the
following compliment:
“Miss May Martin, of Ocala, Fla., who is visiting Mrs. W. D. Turn ley
was the guest in whose honor the entertainment was given. She is a beauti
ful brunette with laughing eyes and charming presence and has made havoc
with the hearts of the Clarksville beaux.”
TWO CLAtMMUS.
Big Excitemont Over Possession of the

Some time since Mr. B. M. Wilson,

who is from the city of “Brotherly
Love," desired to return home so
looked around for a buyer. New
Years’ day lie found him iu Jacksou
ville'iu the person of A. Greenburg,
from Tampa. The terms were satis
factory aud the trade would have
been made, but Mr. Z. Zaeharias
broke it up by insisting he must have
half the money from the sale. Wil
son then sold the stock to Mr. G. Hess,
of Jacksonville. Tuesday, when Mr.
Wilson returned to Ocala with Mr.
Hess to tuke inventor of stock, he
found the store doubly locked aud in
side he noticed Messrs. Z. Zaeharias
and A. Greenburg. As tuey refused
to open the door for Mr. W ilson, he
consulted his lawyer who got tbesher
ilf to open it for him and arresting the
parties within for entering and com
mitting a misdemeanor. They were ta
ken before Judge Hill,wh bound them

day.
r. Greenburg became so excited

THE HERMES.
New in Name but Old in Practice.
The cream de ia cream of our soeie
young folks gathered last evening at
the Ocala House expecting to dance in
the New Year with their most grace
ful step and winning smiles, but
through some misunderstanding with
Prof. Daisy, they had to look else
where for a terpsichorean and feasting
hall. They easily found it under the
hospitable roof of the Montezuma,
where the winning smile, cordial
welcome and gracious demeanor of
Mrs. Batty aud Manager* Hall, made
all feel at home.
The ladies were resplendent in their
new gowns, while the young men put
forth i heir most chivalrous conduct.
The Italian band invoked sweet
strains and the light fantastic was
gracefully done.
Refreshments were elegant, and
Mrs. Batty deserves grateful remem
brance for the light but enticing New
Year’s punch aud delicious cake pro
vided.
Everybody enjoyed the occasion ard
all voted the New Year Kermes a big
success.
Bing a song of common sense,
A mind that’s full of try,
A man who knows a tiling or two
Aud shows it in his eye—
Who's well aware the medicine
That’s best for you and me
Is always Dr. Pierce's Med
ical Discovery.
You can escape just about one-hitlf
the ills that flesh is heir to, by being
ready for them. When you feel dull,
lauguid, “out of sorts” generally—
then you may know that some of
them are coming. Don’t let them get
any further. Brace the system up
with Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. That prevents as well as
cures: Jt iuvigorates the liver and
kidneys, purities and enriches the
blood, sharpens the appetite, im
proves digestion, and restores health
and Vigor.

touching his hair.
Recovering himself and looking
around lie noticed a man not fifty
yards from him with asmoaking Win

for a suppling tree just in front of Mr.
Persons he no doubt would have beeu
a dead man to-day, as the bullet struck
the side of the tree, causing the ball
to deflect enough to miss liis head.
To say (lie least, the hunter was guil
