* CCKLAWAHA AND WINONAH
AT SILVER SPRING
Editor of The Herald and News:
I am stopping in the historic littl
city of Ocaia. It is beautiful for si1
ustion, built upon a high elevatior
ana sheds the water from every ar
gle. One might call it a forest cit>
It has a population of 5,000. Th
town is surrounded by a beautifu
forest of live oaks, draped with Ion;
hanging moss. There are thre
banks, live hotels, a live chamber o
commerce, and two daily paper:
Ocala is the prettiest, most up-to
date little town that I have visitei
since I have been in the land o
the "roses-"
-There- are many things of mucl
interest in and around the city. I
has a line farming country back o
it. Anything can be grown here t<
perfection. But the most interest
ing thing to me are the Silve
Springs and the tropical . scenery
that have no equal in North Ameri
C?. A wealth of legend and word
of beautiful memorials left by thos<
path-finders of the red man clin<
around the very name of Florida
Here in Ocala and vicinity they hav<
made the Indians immortal by at
taching the names f Ocklawaha
Osceola, Tuscaroro and Tuscawelh
to- some of their street?. Perhap.

Was more beloved by the red mai
than Silver Springs, beside whicl
many ail Indian maiden has strollec
with her forest-born lover and ove
tfhose- glassy waters their swift ca
nces h&ve glided.
, Once fhere lived in the forest neai
Silver Springs Ocklawaha, the son o'
the mighty chief Oiuskee and the on
ly daughter of a no less powerfu
chief, Suwanee. Th^ two eld chief
hated each other bitterly and neve:
met except in bloodshed, althougl
their tribes were neighboring ones.
One day while hunting-, Ocklawahi
came upon Winonah as she gathern
in the forest and fell deepb
, in love with her. His affections wer<
returned and the two spent man}
happy hours together in the grea
dim forest. They feared to tell th<
implacable old chieftains of theii
love, knowing that it would bring in
stent separation and possibly death
<; -The lovers, after several weeks oi
perilous happiness, began to suspec'
that they were being watched anc
tfefcy at once planned to escape to th(
tribe of Chattahoochee. One night it
response to a hoot owl, wmonai
stele from her wigwam and joinec
Ocklawaha in the shadow of a live
.oak, covered with moss. Silently
they set forth on thetr fateful jour
Hey which would lead them to life o:
d^ath.
Suddenly a rifle shot rang out o:
tie still darkness of the fores!-; ari(
instantly the air resounded wit)
hideous cries. Knowing their fligh
was dscovered, Ocklawaha and Win
6nah made a desperate dash fo
freedom. Back and forth they dart
ed until at length they found them
selves on a high bluff over lookinj
t glistening stream. As they stoo<
there for a moment, the mooi
emerged from the dense clouds b;
whifh it hsd Hppti vpiIpH Thp mn
titfnless pair were clearly outline
against the sky.
A yell of triumph told that the;
were discovered and their pursuer
broke from the edge of the forest
ffcw feet away. Turning, the lover
gazed deep into each other's eye;
then Ocklawaha seized Winonah i
hifc arms, saying, "Together we hav
sweetly lived, together let us die.
And they made the leap into th
belling spring ninety feet deep.

fies the union of the two lovers i:
death. And it is said that the gree:
waving moss at the bottom of th
stream is the lost Winonah's hair.
The water in this spring is cleare
than atmosphere; one can see a dim
^t the bottom where the water i
ninety feet deep. And it probabl
has the largest flow of any spring i:
the world, namely, 368,913 gallon
per minute or 22,134,789 gallons pe
hour. I hardly believe that the min
of man can erasn this wonder o
wonders. We can see its beauty an
can feel its power. This spring is th
head and source of Silver rivei
which is nine miles long. The levt
nature of the country makes it dif
ficult for this water to find its wa
down hill. At times the river almoa
doubles on itself. This is a very nai
row deep stream, not wider than a
average street. It has been said tha
it is the crookedest river in th
.world. I can't tell as to that. Th

river and thence to the St. John
river. I do no# know of any plac
anvwhere that is more wonderfu
4
more interesting, or more beautifn
or more worth while visiting. I ar
so glad that it has been my privileg
to visit Ocala and the Silver Spring*
or more worth while visiting.
Here in the thick forest near Si
f
iver Springs. Osceola. the ijreiit SemS
inole warrior, was horn, three miles
, from Oca!.*. He was called by his
! people "the s-d and silent man."
e Near Ocala. in the year or '*i7.
a grind count-.'! was held between
'? officers of the United States ar.d the
l" chiefs of the SenTi?!oles. Osceola.
then a minor chief, sat mute and moe
tionless during the deliuo: ations, am'
1 when the ranking chiefs had signed
? the treaty, Osceola was commanded
e to come forward and sign. Walking
^ up to the table surrounded by the
- councillors, he pushed aside the prof
-fo'-p/l iwvi !!n;l. .jrivine" his hunting
^ knife through the middle of the docf
ument. said, "This is r.:I I will sign,"
: and walked fre.m the council room.
1 leaving befllnd him a deaf and dumb
t declaration of war. '
$
The record.- of the numan racn
3 fail to furnish the name of any other
man born and reared a savage, who
r for ten years waged war against a
'? great civilized power. He was a

s all the modes of Indian warfare. A
~ savage barbarian; bat as jreat a pa*
triot as the world has ever known.
* He deserves to be classed as one of
3 the greatest generals of that day.
" But at last he was captured under a
? flag of truce by the United States
1 (which stands out against this repub5
lie as a stain upon her escutcheon
* to this day), with eighty of his war1
riors and was placed in Fort Mari1
cn at St. Augustine, Florida. On
I January 1st, 1S38, Osceola with 20()
r other Indians was transferred to
" Fort Moultrie, S. C., where he died
: of starvation and a broken heirl".
r And near the entrance t:> which the

- erected by the government marks his

in Trie- n<*\v Big-Six speedster is the
uphoisN red arm rest whk r. a feature
of the re'ar : < ui d sign and
whirh provides the ease and i-^nfort
of an over-r.iulTed arm chair.
The :;p\v model \? price ! :-.t
" i and at ihis price it
includes a number of features which
are either (::l-1u::vc or art* to bo obtained
in only the h:i?he.>r priced
cars. Antony these are the cour'esv
l.'tiht on the driver's trunk at
rear bumpers and :h<- travel trunk at
the rerr \vh:ch is er.s.y of necess because
the two extra disc wheels (inc!:iJ:n<>
tires arm tube?? are mour.ted
or. the front fenders and therefore
are cut of the way.
Because of its long', sweeping
lines, the many extra apnointments
ami tru- quality throughout, the new
sreedri r give:. ;h impression of being
a much mure expensive car than
it i*(-ally is.
Mount; d upon the famous Big-Six
chassis with GO-horsepower detachable-head
motor of Studebaker design
and mrnufac-ure, the new
Spec lister s a car of assured superi
oriiy of performance. It lias the
ability io satisfy those who demand
speed, power, flexibility ar.d smoothness.
Of 120-inch v;hee! 3ase, it
p:-cv\*los plenty of room for all nassengcrs
and at the same time is an
extremely easy car to handle.
The nc w speedster is a remarkable
combination of the beautiful and the
unitarian. The special feature? of
equipment acccntuate its appearance
when on city streets and at the same
ovo i vniiiqhin cn;ivrn:cn; o on
snort or long distance tours. Particularly
is this true of the travel
trunk in which may be packed paraphernalia
for a tour of several days
or wee^s. Then, too, the tilt of the
front seat and the upholstered dividing
arm in the rear rent insure comfort
and restfulncss for all passengers.
Like the chassis, the distinctive
double bevel-edge body of the BigSix
speedster is Studebnker built
and characterized by the use of highr>cf
niml'tv m ~+nri??lc sinrl wni'l'mnrt
ship. The body ;s finished in Stud'1baker
blue, with touches of gold
rtriping on the louvres. Upholstery
is of the finest grade hand-buffed,
bright-fin'"hed leather. The finely
tailored top harmonizes * perfectly
with the graceful body lines.
Further touches of beauty and
completely are the massive headlights,
with artistic cotvl lamps and
tiil lamp; tonneau l:?ht with extension
cord; clear-vision, one-piece
