For over thirty years he has been reading clerk of the House of Representatives, a posi. tion he filled most efficiently. He held other positions, all more of honor than of profit, and died honored and regretted by all who knew him. The meeting of the state democratic executive committee at Jacksonville Wednesday was most harmonious. The meeting was for the purpose of reorganization, new members having been elected in the recent primary. There have been rumblings and grumblings to the effect that Chair- man Raney and all the other demo- crats were to be told to go way back and sit down, while the great Catt-rio- t, Hodges of Lake City, was to be chairman and with the other disciples of the governor to run things to suit his faction. Instead of that Mr. Hodges nominated Raney for on, and his nomination was sup- ported by an unanimous vote. J. C. Sale of Bronson was elected secreta- ry and I. J. McCall of Hamilton coun- ty was elected treasurer. Mr. McCall was nominated by Louis W. Duval, committeeman from Marion county, and his election was also unanimous. It is evident that the committee re- mains democratic and it is probable that the sober sense and principle of Florida democracy will rally around it in the next two years' more strong- ly than ever. Dr. William Bayard Hale, who, when this country entered the war was the Berlin correspondent of the International News Service, and who was among the last of the Americans to leave the German capital, is named by Deputy Attorney General Alfred L. Becker of New York state as the man who was the editorial chief of the pro-Germ- an news service which operated in this country in the first years of the war under the name of German Information Service. The service printed daily a large sheet which contained from three to a doz- en articles, all of a pro-Germ- an na- ture, and as a rule bitterly anti-all- y, particularly as far as the British were concerned. Mr. Becker said that Dr. Hale received a salary in the neighborhood of $18,000 a year.

Hocker was born in Buckingham county, Virginia, in 1844, and was a son of William Hocker and Susan Mildred Lewis. He served in Fitzhugh Lee's caval- ry during the civil war. In November 1868, he was married to Gertrude Venable and settled near Leesburg, Fla., in 1874, and moved to Ocala in 1892. He became circuit judge for the fifth circuit in 1893 and continued to hold such office until 1901 when he was elected by the supreme court as one of its commissioners, and short- ly thereafter was elected a member of the supreme court of Florida, which position he occupied for twelve years and retired a few years ago on account of failing health. In 1909 he was married the second time to Mattie N. Glover of Roanoke, Va., who survives him. He is also sur- vived by his children, William Hocker of Ocala; Mrs. T. P. Drake of Yalaha, and Frederick R. Hocker of Ocala. His eldest daughter, Mrs. C. P. Lovell, died in 1914. Eight grandchildren also survive him, namely: Lieut. Charles P. Lovell, Gertrude Lovell; Elizabeth, Margaret and Lucretia Hocker; Will- iam and Trusten P. Drake Jr. and Clifton Montgomery Hocker. The funeral service of Judge Hocker took place at the residence of his son, Mr. William Hocker at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon. The service was in charge of Rev. W. H. Wright-o- n of the Baptist church, assisted by Rev. J. R. Herndon of the Presbyter- ian church. A choir consisting of Mrs. Hampton, Mrs. Blake, Messrs. A. E. and J. J. Gerig sung the two favorite hymns of the deceased, "How Firm a Foundation" and "Abide With Me." The pallbearers were Messrs. Z. C. Chambliss, J. L. Edwards, O. B. Howse, L. N. Green, W. S. Bullock and B. A. Weathers. Many lovely flowers were sent by many friends in token of sympathy. The casket was covered with a pall made entirely of asparagus fern. SERVICES AT M ARTEL Rev. Wm. H.

OBITUARY Angie Louise Guthery was born at Kendrick, June 18, 1902, and died in the hospital at Ocala June 21, 1918. She endured her suffering with pa tience. In her social life she was al- ways kind and had a pleasant word for all. Everybody who knew . her loved her. . To her religious convictions she was loyal. She united with the Methodist church at Kendrick in February 1916,! during a revival meeting. She was a! member of the young people's class in Sunday school, of which her mother .is teacher. She had just been elected secretary of the Sunday school. Her last attendance upon public worship was May 19th, when, though suffer- ing, she filled her place on the pro- gram for Children's Day exercises. She leaves to mourn her going away, a father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Guthery and one sister, Mrs. E. F. Lyles of Kendrick, besides a host of relatives and friends. Angie has gone to her reward. Sometime, "it won't be long, it may be soon," wtl will go to ours. ' The body now rests in Provident- cemetery, near Rochelle. J. E. Shepherd, Her Pasto "a FORTUNATE ESCAPE Mr. Lee Priest, who . lives about three miles north of the city, came near having a fatal accident this fore- noon. While working on a silo on the F. W. Bishop place a large plank fell from a considerable height and struck him on top of the head, lacerating the scalp badly. He was immediately brought to a physician here, who took several stitches in the wound, but found that no bones were broken. Mr. Priest says that had he not thrown up his arm and in that man- ner partially protected his head from the blow, it would doubtless have broken his skull. So taking all in all, he considers himself very fortunate in not being more seriously hurt.

THE PRAISE CONTINUES Everywhere We Hear Good Reports of Doan's Kidney Pills Ocala is no exception. Every section of the U. S. responds with praise of Doan's Kidney Pills. Fifty thousand persons are giving testimony in their home newspapers. The sincerity of these witnesses, the fact that they live so near, is the ebst proof of the merit of Doan's. Here's an Ocala case. Mrs. F. Henderly, 716 Alvarez St, says: "I used Doan's Kidney Pills when suffering with a weak back. When J did any heavy work, my back gave me a lot of distress and often it twitched. Mv kidneys were disordered and I felt all run down. I procured Doan's Kidney Pills at Gerig's Drug Store and they brought excellent re- sults and soon had me feeling fine.
