MRS MAGSTAFF-MR MIG EsI


 A most pleasant home wedding oc- cured at the residence of Mrs Glover Sanford, Tuesday evening, January 23. Mark McEslin and Mrs Fannie Wagstaff were married by Rev G. Henry Smith rector of St Marks. The guests were limited to few intimate friends. MT McEslin took his wife immediately to his residence in the village where they are "at home" to their many friends. We are glad they are to remain among us and extend most hearty congratula- tions and best wishes.
 Owing, primarily to the storm, Thurs day evening, the 25th, and later to a misunderstanding regarding it's post ponement, the entertainment brought forward, by the rector and his wife was not given full house as it deserved and will likely receive, if repeated. Let us have it again Mr Smith.
 Levi E. Kenney, brought here for buri- al from Danbury, last week, was an old resident of the town and by marriage connected with several families here.
 The lecture and supper, Friday even- ing, the 2Gth, under the auspices of the Y. P. s. c. E., netted them nearly $l5. Mrs Henry Beers has been in New Milford caring for her mother who has had the grip.

GREAT FISHERMEN, THESE.

Last week Tuesday Eugene Atwood
 and Cereno Mansfield went to Litchfield pond fishing. All fishermen have a glorious time whether they bring home any fish or not. But the trophies of this fishing excursion were shown, as 45 fish ] were caught, large number weighing two pounds and over. Also,one day last l week, Mansfield caught a pickerel at Quassapaug, tipping the scales at four l pounds and nine ounces. Surely, such
 luck isn't fishing for fun, but for fish. I The snow making fair sledding, the 1 farmers are seen bringing number of
 logs to the saw mill. A great many own
 CTS of woodland had number of live l trees blown over during the small cy-
 clone of last summer, thus they are mak-
 ing them into plank to save them. The
 wind did the cutting down without any
 trouble, but most owners would have
 preferred the timber standing.
 l Roderick Atwood has sold to Holmes Booth & Hayden of Waterbury 100 cords of hard wood. Mir Atwood is building :
 shanty in his woods and in the course O

AN IMPORTANT EVENT.
District School Trustees Election
April 18th.

The Poard of Public Instruction of
Marion county have advertised for
four weeks in the Banner calling at
tention to the fact that an election
will be held in this city, Thursday,
April 10th, for the election Of three
trustees to serve the ensuing year.
The voting will be done from a. m,
until sundown at the court house.
This is an important matter to the
people Of Ocala, especially those who
are patrons of our public free schools
and the friends of same Locally,
there could be no more important
duty to perform for those who have
this interest at heart.
Our schools are in a fiourishing con-
dition. They are credit to the gem
tlemen, who, in the past, have man
aged them in which the teachers who
taught in them share.
1t is the wish of every person inter-
ested in them to keep them fully
abreast Of the high position won in
the past.
To do this successfully we want The
best men in our community to occupy
these places; men who have an inter-
est in our schools and the responsible
work they have done and will con-
tinile to perform for US, namely Edu-
eating our children.
The gentlemen who have served US
50 faithfully during the past year are
B. A. Weathers, Louis Fox and Isaac
Stevens. Their fidelity and interest
in the work has been unquestioned if
they will serve for another term we
can do ourselves no less an honor than
the persons named by re-electing
them. thereby showing our apprecia-
ton of the unselfish and generous la
bors they have given TO us in the past.

Gentlemen and Stockholders Of the
Oclga Driving Park association:
We are now about completing the
second year Of our existence, aud
regret to say that the principal object
of our Incorporation is not yet act on-
plished, though well advanced. Our
race track is graded in excellent shape
for seven-eighths of a mile, with full
width Of so feet. and can be finished
for less than $500. We own 70 acres
Of land, ample space not only for the
track and its proper belongings, but
also for the stabling of a large num-
Der of horses. IF the track had been
ready last fail we should have had
more than fifty horses with their at
tendants paying for their keep and
practice on the track, while their
owners would have been spending
money in Our city, patronizing our
hotels aud our stores, and adding life
and gayety to our streets, while the
races which would naturally have ta-
ken place would have attracted yisi-
tors from all parts to enliven trade
and make money plentiful in our
city. The shortsightedness and want
Of liherality of our merchants and
citizens generally, both those who
have subscribed and not paid their
subscriptions, and those who intend
to subscribe when we no longer need
their assistance, and meanwhile from
mistaken notions Of economy, keep
their purse-slrings fastened. have left
our treasury not only empty but the
association in debt.
The results already obtained have
been due to the labor, energy and en-
thusiasm Of few among the direc-
tors. a loan Of money made by our
vice-president. Mr.. Fulton, in time Of
need, be declares himself willing to
take out in stock. There is at least
one director iprobably more, who
would be willing to do the same, thus
leaving US practically free from debt,
and If our present stockholders will
pay the full amount of their subscrip-
ton we can resume work and at once
finish grading. The top dressing Of
the track will require more money,
but If our citizens and subscribers can
be made to realize the immense adj
vantage driving park will prove TO
Ocala, and how well the stock itself
will pay IN dividends, it ought not to
be difficult to raise the few hundred
dollars necessary.
In conclusion, / wish to acknowledge
my high appreciation Of the kindness
and courtesy which have been uni
versaliy extended to me BY the OH
GERS and members Of this association,
and Il have seemed 81 be derelict ia
my attention through my absence, +
can only say that my heart has been
with you, though physical ailments
have kept me away, and / knew well
that with 50 able vice-p president and
50 competent an executive committee
only the lack Of money would prevent
progress. Once more thank you All.

The Council and City Printing.

The Banner repeats what it said in
previous issue about the action oi
council on city printing.
It has been the custom during the
past four or five proceeding councils
at the beginlng Of their official year
to call on tile city press for bids to do
the legal printing for the city.
This year the council failed to ask
| for such bids. The Banner contends
there is no official organ and can not
be until the council takes up this
| question of city printing and disposes
of it as it does all other questions
coming before it for their action.
Again, the Banner contends that
according to the contract made with
the Free Press in January, 1893, to do
| the city printing for that year, that it
violated the same with the city and
collected nearly six times as much for
publishing the delinquent city tax list
t at s seontract called for.
The Banner believes in standing by
ones friends and does not censure
those aldermen who have worked
and voted for the Free Press as its
organ, but we do object and find fault
with them when they give that paper
a contract and does not see that it is
lived up to.
Again the Banner contends and
demands in all fairness in q public
matter of this kind that the council
call on all of the papers to make
sealed bids to do this work, thus Civ
ing all an equal chance. IF no bids
or only one bid is made to do this
work, surely the council will have
done its duty in the premises. They
will have the satisfaction of knowing
they acted fairly, squarely and inn
partially toward all, and If any blame
or censure Is to be attached in this
matter it will rest with the papers of
the town.
