BADGER • AfUy: a long and beautiful life spnt on this earth the spirit of Mrs. Matilda Badger was called home on last Friday shortly after noon. Her life has been a long one spent in many acts of kindness and those who have known her are the better for it. Hers ’was indeed a beautiful life, and she will be greatly missed by her loved ones and also by her friends who had known her for so many years. Not only did she live out the scriptual injunction in this “Love Thy Neighbor as Thy Self,” but in the simplicity of her nature she tried to exceed the command, for all others with her came first. Mrs. Badger was the widow of the late Col. Edward Badger, who during the civil war w r as Col. of the 4th Flor ida regiment. She was married dur ing the war and was an earnest work er for the “lost cause.” After peace was declared Col. Bad ger brought his bride to this city to make this their home. The deceased has grown up with the town and has seen it go through trials, one after another; she was a great helper for the church, the civic part of the town and also in the social life. Her ad vice, help and friendly smile will be a loss to -many. For the past few years she has been quite feeble and this made it so only the near neigh bors saw her often. Mrs. Badger was in her 86th year. She was the daugh ter of a very noted Methodist minister, the Reverend George Lovell, of Miss issippi. The deceased was ever a devoted member of the Methodist church of this city. She was also a charter member of the Dickison Chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy. They attended the funeral of their beloved co-w T orker in a body. During her last illness she was ten derly nursed and cared for by her two devoted daughters, Mrs. Emily Green and Mrs. Mary Eagleton, who live in this city. Her other daughter, Mrs. S. G. Moyers is at present in Denver and was unable to be with her mother during her last days. Mrs. Badger also leaves six grandchildren, one niece and many friends who will ever miss her from their midst. The funeral took place from her home on Ocklawaha avenue on Sat urday morning and was attended by many friends of the family and by quite a few from out of town. Rev. C. W. White, her pastor gave an in teresting talk of the life of the de ceased. A few songs were sung by Messrs. J. J. Gerig and A. E. Gerig, Mrs. R. G. Blake and Mrs. George Pasteur. The pall bearers were the following friends of the family: Mr. John Edwards, Mr. S. T. Sistrunk, Mr. D. E. Mclver, Mr. G. T. Maughs, Mr. Louis Duval and Mr. R. L. Mar tin. The flowers which gave of their bloom and fragrance above the new grave made in Greenwood cemetery i was the silent expression of love from j hundreds of the friends and rela tives of the good woman who was so ; universally loved by all in Ocala, her home for so many years. This paper wishes to express to the sorrow-ing daughters its sincere sym pathy over the loss of their' best friend.

Dozier, Jr., who w r as re cently seriously injured by a fall down the steps of the Rialto theater in Jacksonville, is now getting along nicely and every hope of his ultimate recovery is felt. The young man has been moved from the hospital to the home of Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Nash, formerly of this city and who are old friends of the Dozier family. Mr. Frank Harris, Jr., was a busi ness visitor to Gainesville Wednes day. Mr. Peter Duriso, of Conner was a caller at the Banner office Wednes day, and he stated that the road from Silver Springs to Grahamville was in very bad condition, caused from the excess rains, and says it will be dan gerous, and should be attended to at the earliest possible time. Judge and Mrs. Richard McConathy are at Walnut Grove, California, and their Florida friends will be pleased to learn that they are spending the summer in a very delightful manner amidst beautiful surroundings. The Judge writes that he weighs 169 pounds, is feasting on fruits. Cool nights and days, the thermometer as low as 61 in the early mornings. A BIG BUT TRUTHFUL BOOSTER FOR MARION COUNTY—? STATE MENTS NOT EXAGGERATED 1 Facts and opinions about Ocala and the surrounding country that would be if interest to its readers as well as to those of other parts of the coun try are contained in a handsome lit tle booklet which Thom & Thomas are now distributing to many thousands of persons throughout the country. It is a part of an extensive campaign which they have undertaken in co operation with the Strout’ Farm Agen cy of which they are representatives. They are telling the world through the medium of this booklet that Ma rion county is the home of the citrus fruit industry, contains one of na ture’s wonders, the largest spring in the world; that it is the watermelon center of the state, the champion hog county in the state and one of the leading corn counties, a leading wint er trucking district, great livestock and dairy section, a high and health ful place to live, that it has an ideal climate, a nearly all-year growing season and is a section of prosperous farm owners. The total shipments of citrus fruits for the past season are estimated by Thom & Thomas at 425,000 boxes, yielding an income of around $1,500,- 000. It is asserted that an income of $250 to SSOO an acre from oranges and grapefruit is common and that one 50-acre grove near Orange Lake has yielded 99,860 boxes in 15 years. With a net income of $2 per box this would make a total net income of nearly $200,000 for the owner. Marion county is credited with hav ing one of the most up-to-date poultry farms in the country, which in 1920 produced an average of 161 eggs for each of its 1000 hens, bringing an average return of over 50c a dozen. The value of vegetable crops in Marion county is given as $657,611. The estimates or returns per- acre from various crops as given by the Marion County Floridian are given in the booklet. B. E. Raysor, of Lowell, tells of the experiment he made with an acre and a half of onions. He states that he netted SIBOO from it and that he did not consider this a bad begin ning. He adds also that he was suc cessful in tomato, cantaloupe and watermelon ventures, producing 342 crates of tomatoes per acre which netted him $2500 from four acres. The 15 acres of watermelons shipped ten cars and the cantaloupes yielded | A Free Course in Business and Domestic Economy It is at your disposal every day.

The Ocala Banner 231 crates per acre. Mr. Raysor stated that he attributed his success in producing large and profitable yields solely to the productiveness of Marion county soils.’ To show the rest of the world what can be done in raising tomatoes in Florida, a statement is made of the earnings of J. C. Johnson who ship ped 8000 crates of tomatoes from 40 acres in 1921 and sold them for $15,- 000. His returns from previous years are given as $16,000 in 1920, $15,000 in 1919, $6,000 in 1918 and $7,000 in 1917. It is added that Mr. Johnson has been growing tomatoes for the last 15 years and has not had a single failure. NOTICEABLE IMPROVEMENTS IN BUICK CARS No single season in recent years has seen so many improvements in Buick cars as the present one; and never has the Buick line been so complete. The engine, for example, is fitted with longer pistons and connecting rods, adding to the smoothness and long wear for which the Buick en gine has already been noted. Anew rear spring suspension has been de vised which is undoubtedly the high est devlopment of the cantilever type yet achieved. The frame, the trans mission, the rear axle, the brakes, the bodies and their equipment, each shows the hand of the skilled design er by some new and valuable fea tures. The insurance companies have rat ed all fourteen models as Class “A” fire risks, because of the safety of their electrical and gasoline systems and have materially reduced the theft insurance rates. This means a big saving in insurance premiums over cars not so rated; it also indicates the close attention to detail that has been paid to these Buick cars for season of 1923. As in the case of the six-cylinder models, the Buick four-cylinder cars have been redesigned this season, not merely in the sense of giving them a new’ appearance, but with the ob ject of making them better and more efficient automobiles in every depart ment of motoring service. These changes begin with the frame, which has been entirely redesigned, and continue through the important mechanical units of the car, from an easier and simpler method of oiling the rocker arms to an improved me thod of driving the speedometer. The body is larger and roomier, with lower lines and added grace of appearance. There are new and im proved fenders, top, windshield, head lights, side curtains. There is an improved spring sus- Friday, August 4, 1922. pension, new' upholstery, improved dash equipment, new arrangement of seats, longer and lower steering col umn, and a number of other features that add materially to riding and driv ing comfort. There is a transmission lock to pre vent theft which reduces insurance rates materially. Other improvements place the Buick Fours in Class as fire insurance risks, securing for the owner lower insurance rates. These are part, and only part, of the changes that apply to all four-cylinder models. Each model has its own special "improvements, because each has been redesigned as a unit. REED STILL LEADING LONG IN MISSOURI ST, LOI IS, Mo., Aug. 3.—With 296 precincts yet to report, the lead of Senator James A. Reed over Breck inridge Long for the nomination for United States senator has been cut to 6,813 votes. The vote, with 3,552 precincts out of 3,848 this afternoon stood: Reed, 187,352; Long, 180,539. The belief of Reed supporters that he w’on the contest apparently was strengthened this morning when the St, Louis Globe Democrat, an inde pendent newspaper which fought Reed’s candidacy, appeared with a tw’o column picture of the senator on the first page under the caption “Wins Nomination.” The Globe Democrat asserted Reed apparently had* been victorious by 4,000 to 6,000 votes, adding that the districts yet unheard from “are re mote from populous centers and their vote is small. Reed’s lead of 25,000 yesterday morning on the face of returns from more than half the precincts of the state, but which included Kansas City and St. Louis, was whittled down steadily yesterday afternoon as returns from rural precincts drifted in. Unreported precincts are in the rural district, w’hich Long stated would be favorable to him. Little Miss Frances Gary has gone to Asheville, North Carolina where she will spend awhile with her friend Mary Raysor. A little later in the summer she will be joined by her parents and brother, and sister and they will return home together in their car. 1 t Mrs. Mary Pooser left Thursday afternoon for Jacksonville where she will be the guest of her daughters, Mrs. Robert Connor and Mrs. Claude Nelson.
