G. Ij. Parsons, who was born in Sa- i
line in 1S69, was raised in the general i
merchandising business of his father, j
Cornelius.       While     going    through j
school he worked   during ,his   spare j
time   in the   store, where   he could 1
learn the business from the bottom
up.   He left school in 1884 and worked for his father -until the time   of
his death in 1893.
The next year, in company with M.
D. Harper,   he opened a   men's furnishings store just around the corner
from his present location.   In the following year, when Aldrieh's dry goods
store vacated the building which he
now occupies the new clothing firm
amoved in.   The two partners continued
to    do a successful   husiness in the
, stare until 1904 when Mr.    Parsons
■ teught out Mr. Harper's share.    He
feats since run the "business by   him-
; self, and six years ago he opened the
j Woman's  Shop,, -where    he   handles
dry goods and notions.

We liaye been asked to give a little account of our trip and Tranter
spent in Florida, so for those *who are
interested in hearing about1 it we submit the following: We left Saline the
4th of Noveniber with our car well
patted with our camping equipment,
and It "was our home for most of the
five montba'we were away. We went
via. Washington D, G, followinsr the
Notional Highway from Columbus,
Ohio, to Wheeling, W. Virginia.
Through a comer of Pennsylaania on
through Maryland to the Capitol City.
The three weeks we spent there were
very instructive as well as .pleasant,
as 'We tools in the sights of the
city in a more thorough and 'leisurely
■way than the usual tourist -who. only
spends a few days there, as well as
enjoying the visit with our sister.
'The National Highway is Tvide and
we'll paved, so when we began climbing the mountains (and there are
some stifl" ones on this route) we
didn't mind it as much as we had anticipated. "We turned aside at Boons-
Iboro, Maryland, io visit Crystal Cavern, and the battlefield of An-
itsefcam. Then the next town,
Frederick, is also of historic interest, that being the place where
■Barbara Fritcbjie defended her eoun-
itry's flag sgainst ^jJojjewaTl Jackson's
army. -''•*'
Wliile in Washington we visited
-Mount Vernon", 16 miles out of the
city on the "banks of the Potomac, and
■aHmost felt the atmosphere of George
and Marba "Washington's peaceful and.
"happy life there in the -guiet of the
Virginia hills. The; estate is very
well kept "up, and <althou-gh many visitors are constantly going'through the
house and grounds ami Martha's
beautiful fiiower garden, still it is so
vast no one is crowded and. quiet prevail* We also went in 'Christ church
.-a* .AlexamSraa, which the Washing-
tons a,*tehdied.
T*rom Washington Tve-started south,
going through Richmond, Virginia,
and on through North and "Smith Oztr-
■ofm-a* to Valdosta, tire gateway .of
;FloY'i:da. 'This section of our trip was
very interesting, as along liere we
had-our first wiew of She -cotton fields,
and nve. 'wert- Just in *£ime to see the
cottran being picked, and "hauled by
mule* teams, ito the cotton gins and
markets. Wt also saw how the pe;*-
nut •crop's are liarve&'ti^d and dried,
before being threshed and marketed,
and -tiie pecan trees 'had just been
• stripped -of their nuts, ready for market.
Our -first stop after crossing the
Florid-a state line was at White
Springs, on the- banks of the famous
'Suwanee river. The mineral springs
Ihere are quite wonderful, remarkable
■cures of rheumatism a»d "like dis-r
eases resulting (from drinking and
Tfcafching M the water which is composed of -a, dozen different minerals.
The spring flows 32,420 gallons per
minute a*nd is splendid tasting, £e-
sptte the "bad soundin.g names of its
ingredients.
It was the fourth ■oil December -whea
we aaade our fiiist -real camp at Lak«
City, 12 miles from White Springs.
Up ta* this time we Tiad no* used our
tent, as it had been coM., hut from
here «n we lired in iout tent anfl sleut
in our car, and became real members
of the T. C. T. (tin-earn tourists.)
From Lake Olty we went down the
middle «f the state, through Gainesville, Oceala, L&esburg, Eustis, and
Orlando to Kissijnmee. At Oceola,
we drove six miles east to see Silver
Springs, the place where one takes a
little trip in a glass bottomed boat
atod sees wonderful formations and
beautiful views under the water that
is so clear one dan see the bottom of
the -underground lake underneath the
river, 60 feet deep, as clearly as if it
were on land. There are miniature
valleys, and small shells and pebbles
in the clear places :on the bottom, a
very extraordinarty and extremely interesting sight. At Klssimmee Park
we visited Mr. and Mrs. George Barr,
who have a very nice comfortable
home on the shsore of Lake Tohopeka-
lia, and had a most delightful time
while with them. It "was good to see
Saline friends for both of us.
We covered .the state well enough to
get a fair idea of what it is like, going over to the west! coast where we
camped at Tampa, St. PePeresburg,
and Bradentown, and visited Tarpon
Springs, Clearwater, and Sarasoto,
Passa-Grille and .Anna Maria Keyes.
We drov, across the middle of the
state from Klssimmee to Tampa, and
across Gandy bridge, 6 miles long,
causeway to causeway, and said to he
the longest twi'dge in the world, mak-

OBITUARY
Anna. May Hall,, daughter of James
S. Brady and Theresa V.enable was
born in Washiington, D. C.
When a child she lost her mother
and then went to live with her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. John Brady, Sr.,
and later with her aunt, Mr and Mrs.
William H. Hopkins, whose husband
was president of St. John's college. "Amnspolis, Maryland, 'and later
president of Goucher college, Baltimore, Maryland.
I     Sftie "Wits united in marriose in June,
j 1SS0, with A. Sagar Hall, at the First
Methodist,   Episcopal    church,   Balti-
; more* -Maryland.    To this union  one
i child., Daniel Hersey Ha'H, was born.
Of a family of five sisters and one
: brother, two sisters survive her, Mrs.
Js2In©, iPhiHadelphia., Pa.,   and    Miss
Jessie 'Carter, Washington, D. C: al-
s© .sefceral nieces and nephews.
Early in .life she joined the Metiao-
distt Episcopal church and for many
years "was an active worker in Sunday school and choir.
Though she never took active part
an social affairs she won many friends
whereever she lived owing to her
Ihappy naiture and sunny disposition.
; *She leaves a bereaved husband and
j son to mourn the loss -of a most devoted Wire and mother.
Funeral services were held at her
liomeiin Chestertawn, ^Maryland, Wednesday morning. The remains were
•brought to Saline for interment in
OakwBOd cemetery, rand her Ibody
was ^Isiid to rest in the presance of a
■Jlarge number of sold friends and
neighliwors  Thursday "afternoon.
Considering the fact that Saline
had but one ticket in the field for the
election Monday, voters were deeply
interested and 329 ballots were cast,
29 of which were "straight"—not a
mark on them to indicate the desire
of the ones wh|o were supposed to
indicate a choice. While this number
could not have changed the general
result, yet it seems strange -that so
many will take the trouble to attend
an election, cast a vote, each, and at
the end lose it.
The fight for the office of school
commissioner was the stroong factor
in getting out the crowd. ' In Saline
township, Mass, Bsseny, the present incumbent, received 101 votes and Miss
Haas, Democratic candidate, had 281.
The Democrats had no ticket in the
field and many of them voted more or
less with the Republicans. Austin S.
Roblston, Repuhliician candidate for supervisor, had 200 of the straight votes
cast and 8 of the splits. Wilbur D.
Cornish, present supervisor, who made
the run with slips, received 142 votes.
Others on the ticket averaged from
353 to 360 Votes.
The vote on the county resolution
relative to a board of county auditors
stood 188 yes and 115 no. The second
amendment, relative to city and village parks, lost, 120 yes and 189 no.
The state Republicans won out by
good majorities.
Pittsfield: Arthur Heininger the
Republican candidate for supervisor,
-won out over John Fiegel, 263 to, 103
Daniel Effi.sworth for clerk was elected lay a good majority. Henry Groeb
for treasurer won over Dan Hertler,
227 to 123.
Bodi: As usual is captured by the
Democrats. Michael F. Grosshans
will continue as supervisor, Jacob
Bia-kle, clerk: and Edmund W. Gen-
sley treasurer.
York: John Lawson the aid time-
tried Republican supervisor is to
hold the office another year; Stedle.
clerk; Torrey, treasurer.

'Spee-al Sale on Choice Baked Goods
and Especially Buns, at the Saline
"Bakery Saturday, April 9.
Tied Cross Buns, something new,
will be the specialty at the bakery
Saturday, and the price is reduced to
any 15c per dozen. At this price any
parson that chooses to can afford to
ouy a dozen of these buns in order to
.--ee what they are and try them out.
While at the bakery don't fail to look
over my nice display of other choice
baked goods, which I think will look
so tempting that you will have a desire to also try some of them. And
you can't miss it if you do, as all my
hread and baked goods are guaranteed equal to the best and the price is
the lowest of any place in town. " So
please give my baked goods a fair
trial that you may see for yourself.
Note Tihs in Particular
On account of the demand for the
Red Cross buns being so much greater
than I expected it would be, the supply gave out before a number of the
customers had made their purchase.
Therefore, so no one will be disappointed, I have decided to run the
Red Cross bun special again next Saturday, April 9, so all may have a
chance to try them out at the same
special price of 15e per dozen, the
same as last week Saturday.
