ALMOST A TRAGEDY.
VALERIAN VERSUS BELLADONNA-
Uonant aid Lady Lake Shaken from
Center to liircumfrence in Oonse
qnenoe of Two Ladies Taking
Be’ladonna for Valerian.
A remarkable occurrence reached
Ocala Monday which came near
ending the lives of two estimable la
dies of Conant, midway between
South Lake Weir aßd Lady Lake.
The ladles in question are Miss Dr.
Worcester and Miss West.
It seems that last Saturday morning
there was to be a meeting of the
Christian Endeavor Society at Lady
Lake, in which Dr. Worcester was to
take a prominent part. Before leav
ing her home to drive to Lady Lake
she took up a vial supposed to contain
valerian, of which she partook to
quiet and strengthen her uerves. By
the time the lady reached Lady
Lake she knew something unusual
was the matter with her, so informed
her friends and asked to be put to bed
and a doctor sent for.
Dr. Merrell, of the village, promptly
responded, and when made known
the nature of the case at once deter
mined the lady had taken poison in
stead of valerian.
Drs. Parker and McNamara, of la*cs
burg, were summonsed, and they
worked over Dr. Worcester all that af
ternoon and night before they could
pronounce her out of danger.
Now comes another remarkable
part of this exciting and daugcrous
episode to human life.
No sooner had Dr. Worcester left
home than a frieud and companion,
who lives with her, Miss West, en
tered the office and seeing the vial on
the table aud being accustomed to see
ing it and knowing Its contents an 1
what used for, took it up and drank
some of it. It was not long before
she too knew that strange feelings
overcame her, and fearing she had
made a mistake, orderd a servant to
go for a doctor, aud also to Lady Lake
and inform Miss Dr. Worcester what
had befallen bei, aud to warn her of
the contents *f the vial, which proved
to be belladonna instead of valerian.
Miss West went through the same
fearful ordeal, but the presence and
faithful work of the doctors brought
her through to life again.
The whole community was aroused
miles around by the painful occur
rence and spread of the news, aud
every doctor within its range was
summoned to the bed side of the suf.
ferers and at one time supposed to be
dying women.
Another such a commotion as the
one spoken of was never known in
the history of Lady Lake.
To Brace Up
the system after "La Grippe,” pneu
monia, fevers and other prostrating
acute diseases; to build up needed
flesh and strength, and to restore
health and vigor wheu you feel “run
down” and used-up, the best tiling in
the world is Doctor Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery. It promotes all
the bodily functions, rouses every or
gan into healthful action, purifies and
enriches the blood, and through it
cleanses, repairs and invigorates the
the entire system.
For the most stubborn scrofulous,
skin or scalp diseases, dyspepsia, bil
liousness and kindred ailments, the
“Discovery is the only remedy that’s
guaranteed. If it doesn’t benefit or
cure you have your money back.
Can you think of anything more
convincing than the promise that is
made by the proprietors of Dr. Sage’s
Catarrh Remedy? It is this: “If we
can’t cure your catarrh, we’ll pay you
SSOO in cash.
Look Well-
Wm. B. Pabor, organizer and pro
moter of the Lake Pabor settlement in
DeSoto county and editor of the
Pabor Pineapple Monthly, seeing a
notice iu the Bauner that a party of
Ocalians intended going to Honduras,
wrote to this paper to warn our people
against going to that country witiiout
looking and considering well before
they leaped. Mr. Pabor, before clos
ing a location for his colony in DeSoto
county, visited Honduras and spent
considerable time there looking over
the country and he says it does in no
way compare with Florida.

OCALA, FLA., FRIDAY, JANUARY 26, 1594
HANGED.
Latimore’a Last Day—A Gold Blooded
Grime Avenged.
In the hanging of Ben Lath; io
this Thursday noon for the killin ' of
N. A. Chandler, it may be a ell to re
call the fact that on January 9ib,
1892, he shot paymaster Chandler
without provocation and with a de
termined and premeditated intent.
Aud for what? Because, under the
rules of the Ambler R. R. company,
eighty cents of his wages were with
held for a few days. Latlmore in
sisted be was sick and had to go
home and told some of the men of the
camp that unless Chandler paid him
the eighty cents “oue of them would
eat breakfast in hades.”
A short time after this the report of
a pistol was beard, Chandler was
found dead aud tbe negro who then
w-nt under the alias of John Wil
liams, bad disappeared. Six months
later he was arrested in Jacksonville,
brought to Ocala, tried and found
guilty of murder and sentenced to be
hung.
Latlmore’s attorney, Geo. H. Bad
ger, secured for his client anew trial,
which took place before Judge Hooker
iu November last and agtiu found
guilty. This time the verdict of the
jury was executed for an unprovoked
and cold blooded murder as it should
bave been lathe first sentence.
The doomed man confessed change
of heart to his spiritual advi-er, Fath
er O’Riley, After receiving absolu
tion he told jailer Charles Smith where
he would find a saw that was smug
gled in by a trusty for Ed Danny’s
benefit, but of which he could make
no use. It was secreted under the
slab of the wash-stand.
Deputy Ben McCollough, colored,
sprang the trap at 12:30 p. m., aud fif
teen minutes after Drs. Newsom and
Izlar prouounced him dead.
Before Latimore was swung into
eternity, Revs. Goings and Nelson,
two colored preachers, prayed with
the condemned. Then he made a
talk, the substance of which was he
confessed the murder, was sorry for it,
bad repented and told all of his race
to take warning from his fate. He
thanked each and every one who, in
any way had tteen kiud to him and
was especially grateful to jailer Smiih
for his kiud treatmeut.
Quite a crowd of country people
were present aud as usual every
point of vantage was secured to note
the execution, every available space
was taken up inside the inclosure und
tbe jail. The skies were overcast with
clouds and general gloom marked tk<
tragic end.

The Bauner learns with regret that
Mr. Walter Hawkins, the obliginguud
affable agent of the Florida Southern
railroad in Ocala, has severed his con
nection with that company and taken
service under the Steamship
Company and Central railroad of
Georgia, with headquarters at Jack
sonville.
In making this move and severing
his connections with the social and
business world of Ocala he has done it
with the greatest of reluctance, as he
has formed acquaintances and friends
here whom he Is loth to lose, but
could not resist the tempting pecunia
ry offer made him, which is
double the salary received in his old
position.
The Banner congratulates Walter,
and with his army of friends wish
him the best of earth, which is none
too good for so noble a specimen of
manhood as is emboded iu Walter
Hawkin’s make up.

This distinguished United States

through Ocala Sunday on the F. C.
& P. fiyiug cracker on their way to

When nearing Ocala he inquired
how long the train would stop here.
The answer was “five minutes ”
Then the Senator said: “I’ll get oh it,
and when I return home I’ll tell my
bucolic constituents that I stood
square on the Ocala Platform.” The
remark created much merriment.
After tarrying at Tampa some time
they will visit Cuba.

An Incident.
Last September and October, owing
to the easton markets being overrun
with Mediteraneau lemons, the grow
ers on Lake Weir let their fruit stay
on the trees. Now the market is so
scarce and bare of them that culls
and everything lying on the ground lu
the way of lemons are raked up,
packed and sent to New York, where
they are bringing from S3 to 33.50 a
box.
Wo understand E. B. Foster, mana
ger of the Lake Weir Akron grove,
has forwarded some 450 boxes of this
kind of leiuous and got a big price for
same.
It is probably not the coldest weath
er you ever kuew iu your life; but
that is how you feel just now, because
past sufferings are soon forgotten, and
because your blood needs thes.en rich
iDg, invigorating influence of Ayer’s
Sarsaparilla—Tbe superior medicine.

The Swine and the Flower.
I shrank to meet a mud-encrusted swine.
And then he seemed to grunt, in accents rude,
"Hugh ! Behold not proud, for in this fat of mine,
Behold the source of richness for your food'”
I fled, and saw a field that seemed, at first.
One giant masa of roses pure and white.
With dewy buds 'mid dark gri-en foliage nursed,
And, as I lingered o’er thilrlovtly sight,
The summer breeze, that cooled that southern
scene
Whispered, Bthokl the source oi Cotloliaef''
