bill Of leading drygoo Is firm 10 It WIS
lying on his oilce table and glaucel over
the items. This is u very rare proceeding
Oh his part. He usually gave a check, aud
then filed the bill without examining 1t,
This proceeding was not business like,
but he had perfect confidence III hl7

on this occasion he looked over the items
and he saw his wife was dey0tea to
black silk. lie couldn't remember that
his wife wore great many silk dresses,
and that seemed odd under the circum
stances.
When he arrived home he iokingly
said to his wife that she ought to be able
to rent black silk dresses, Naturally the
spouse asked him what he meant. He
told her. She declared that she hadn't
bought a black silk dress for year, and
asked to see the bill. Her husband
handed it over, when she identified more
than half Of the items as incorrect; that
is. she had never hal those goods.
The husband went to the store and in
terviewed the head Of the firm. That
gentleman referred the matter to the
bookkeeper, who showed all the items
charged properly on the books. Then
the clerk who sold the goods was seen.
She remembered the black silk sales per
fectly. The goods were bought by a
young lady who said she was requested
to get them by the gentlemau's wife.
Gould she recognize the LADY, "Oh,
certainly said the clerk,
The next day the gentleman again
called. Glad to see you," said the pro-
prietor. "The lady is here There she
stands The gentleman looked, and, 10
and behold, the lady was an intimate
friend of his wife, and lady whose
parents are wealthy. Subsequent de-
velopments showed that this was IL nice
little game on her part. She ascertained
who of her friends bought their goods
by bill, which was paid by their parents.
The scheme wouldn't have worked with
ladies who had allowances of their own.

The Cow Ordinance.

The COW ordinance, in its unsettled
condition, is working great hardship
aud inequality to our people and own
ers Of cattle.
One man said he was compelled 10
sell three head of cattle assessed for
$50 for $12, because of the frequ ent i'm
pounding Of his cattle, driven into the
city limits andthence TO the pound.
Another man said he too had to relin-
quish the use of his cow on account of
her frequent impounding.
What looks hardest to these parties,
is that at the same time their cattle
were impounded, they passed across our
public square at half past FIVE, a. M, and
found cattle lying in the court house
square and at another time found them
on the sidewalks on the public square
and these did not get into the pound.
They favor contraction of the COW
limits and hire a man to see that the
cattle don't get within that limit.

Our Victorious Hose Company No. 2.
Our readers are familiar With the fact
that Protective Hose Company No. 2
Of Ocala, challenged the Ponce de Leon
Hose Company. of st. Augustine, in
contest for $50, tho same to fake place
Monday last, and the challenge was
accepted.
Sunday an excursion train, kindly
provided for the hose company, by Wal
ter Hawkins, left Ocala at 7:l5 a. m, on
which about seventy of their friends
took passage to witness the Florida
troops in camps and to encourage our
fire laddies to victory, which they
grandly and gallantly achieved
The trip was uneventful ard by the
time it reached the Ancient City 1t had
gathered in one hundred and l1y ex
cursionists.
The day was variously spent, most Of
the excursionists taking in the beach
and laving their bodies in old Nep-
tunes cooling embrace.
Suffice it to say, that on the following
Monday Ocala Protective Hose Com
pany No. ., in brilliant and spirited
race with Ponce de Leon Hose Conn
pany No. ,, of st. Augustine, beat their
opponents in fine style by eight seconds.
0cala's time, one minute and thirty-one
seconds, and brought back with them
the purse of $50.

cannot speak in TOO warm terms of COM

and hospitality shown them by the fire.

some hall was at their disposal, where
refreshing drinks and fragrant cigars
stood ready at their beck, to say moth
ing of the free carriage drives all over

Parenthetically, thi7 same treatment
was accorded our soldier Toys by the
military companies of st. Augustine,
and now our military and lire compa-
nies say, as nothing was too good tor
them while sojourning there, memory
must lose Its throne, every spark of
gratitude aud reciprocity be quenched
in their breasts, if an opportunity pre-
