For the Legislature.

In this issue of the Banner will be
found the announcement of Mr.. j.
M. Sims, who, through the solicita-
lions Of many of his friends, has con-
scented to make the race for the legis-
lature, subject to the decision of the
democratic primaries. We have had
the pleasure of personal acquain-
lance with Mr., Sims for the past ten
years and can vouch for his fitness for
the position in every particular. He
has been resident of this county for
the past eleven years, coming here
from Tennessee and made his home at
Orange Hammock, in the southeast
ern portion of the county, where
he has created one of the finest or
ange groves In the county.
Mr.. Sims is an intelligent, observ-
ing, fair minded and progressive citi-
zen, well posted on affairs of the state
and with a keen appreciation of its
needs. He is eminently level head
ed man and a predominant feature Of
his mental make up is his commend
able horse sense and practical ideas on
every subject that concerns the tax
payer and welfare of the common
wealth. Mr.. Sims is sound on the
railroad commission question.

creditable arguments and we'll worded

While all the speeches were good,
those of Robinson and Hoag were ex-

graduated on their brilliant efforts.
Messrs. C. HI. Curry, Albert Wright
and e. M. Gregg sat as supreme
bench on the merits of the case and

that the affirmative side won their
cause.

Colonel Martins Appointment.

The appointment of Colonel John
M. Martin to be postmaster of Ocala
gives very general satisfaction to this
community. Colonel Martin was an
officer in the Confederate army and a
member of the Confederate congress,
and has been an active democrat all
his life. He has been warm friend
of Senator Calls for long number of
years and as soon as his application
was sent on Senator Call gave it his
strong endorsement and stood unwa-
veringly by him during the long pro-
tracted struggle. He was open and
frank in so expressing himself TO the
other applicants, to the truth of which
they will testify, and the stories that
he abandoned Colonel Martin are
wholly without foundation.

The Banner is pleased to learn and
so will be the many friends of Mr.. L.
T. Bugbee in Ocala that the rumors
that became current that the death of
his wife was caused by pois n, is un-
true and base libel on the honor and
good name of the gentleman in ques-
ton.
Not only has the medical examiner
and chemist Of Massachusetts, so de-
cided but the Massachusetts, Ellis Re-
lief Corps, of which Mrs. E. T. Bug
bee had been a prominent member
for many years, attest the falsity OF
the accusation.
Mr.. Bugbee has instituted criminal
libel suits against the Nedfield, Mass,
papers for giving publicity to the ru-
mors indicated and before he gets
through with them they will wish
they had been more circumspect and
reserved in giving currency to so Sc
rious a charge.

A Party Of 0oalians Make ! Tour d
South Florida.


TO the Editor Of the Banner:
There are two sayings that have al
most become proverbs in the mouths
Of the American people: "Florida is
the Italy Of America and marion
county is the garden spot of Florida"
ssFlorida on Wheels is destined to
become the principal attraction
throughout the United States for rea-
sonable length of time, but the most
interesting thing conceivable is
through Florida on wheels. On the
morning of July 18th we left Orange
Lake for an extended trip through
south Florida. The party consisted of
L. r. Smoake, his two sons, Joe and
John, and the writer. After equip
ping ourselves with camping outfit,
guns and fishing tackle, we started
for Ocala, the hub of Florida, from
which radiates all the points of the
compass. There we further equipped
ourselves with necessary articles,
snake bite medicine being one Of the.
indispensibles. We were surprised to
see such quantity of good hammock
land extending, unbroken, nine miles
from Ocala. If people who are in
clined to emigiate from north Ala
bama and Georgia knew such coun-
try could be found here, Marion coun-
ty would, in two years, be flooded
with energetic. thrifty farming peo-
pie.
Our trip was an uneventful one from
Ocala to Leesburg. Our next ohjec-
tive point being Lake Apopka. We
will not refer to the country west of
Apopka, and the magic city of Okla
humpka for fear those people will ac-
cuse us of doing them an injustice, but
we can't fail to call your attention to
the fiourishing town of Oakland on the
south shore of the beautiful Lake
Apopka. Oakland is thriving town
and thing of beauty, and is sur
rounded for several miles by citizens
that would beautify any country.
They are people of pride and energy.
With regrets and signs, and with
eyes turned backward, we left Oak
land for Lake Hiwassee, where busi-
ness called US. After investigating
Hiwassee and surroundings we went
in a southwesterly direction, intend
ing to cross the backbone or dividing
ridge. In honor of my favorite poet,
we diverged from our course little to
take a look at Lake Minnehaha. 1t is
not like that smiling, laughing,
charming Minnehaha made famous in
song and story, but is surrounded with
all the romance that the modern poet
could imagine that could be attached
to the land of the Seminole and the
lamen.ed Osceola, whose memory
holds sacred place in the heart of
every patriot familiar with his life
and character.
We crossed the dividing ridge, and
after travelling through desolate strip
of land, entered into reasonably
good scope of country and colony of
thirty-six citizens, whose characters
and customs are worth noticing. We
are among them now and I will men,
ton them in my next.
Our next move will be for the Ever
glades and from there to Cape Sable,
from which places / will write you,
giving more graphic account of
Through Florida on Wheels.

Investigated.

The playful remark made by Mar
Islal Barganier was contorted by those
who do not wish him well as reality
and in consequence the marshal de-
manded of the council police commit
tee an investigation.
The gist of the accusation was that
he received 500 for not interfering
with the sale of liquor Sundays by a
certain saloon keeper.
No evidence was produced to sustain
the charge aud so the matter was
dropped.
r. B. Mcconnell, J. A. Rowell and
F. A. league, of the police committee,
assisted by city attorney Green and
Mayor McConathy, held the session
in the council chamber Monday
night.

Bill ngsly-Reddick.


The bright little town of Reddick,
this county, was the happy scene a
few days since of an event which will
be long and pleasantly remembered
by all who were fortunate enough to
witness it. but especially by the two
loving young people whose life desti-
MES were SO happily merged together.
AT eight o'clock Mr.. Harry P. Billings
ly and Miss Kitty Reddick were
joined in the sacred bonds OF wedlock.
The marriage service was solemnlzed
by Rev. Mr.. Kimmons in that grand,
earnest, impressive manner so natu-
raj to him and which few others can
initiate.
The bridegroom is one of the sub
stantial young men of this county.
He is a young man of fine physique
and splendid capacity, warm hearted,
generous and self-reliant. He has by
true nobility of character wor many
sincere friends who join in predicting
for him a happy and prosperous flu
ture.
The bride is a daughter Of the late
Samuel Reddick, of Cedar Keys, and
is one of the brightest jewels of our
fair little town. Miss Kitty, though
only recently resident of Reddick,
has, by her kindness and gentle dis
position, won all hearts. Many re-
grets are expressed by the young peo-
pie that one so sweet and fair and
amiable should so soon be lost to their
circle, and we congratulate Harry on
winning the heart of one so pure and
worthy of his love.
After many earnest congratulations
by relatives and friends the guests
were invited to assemble around the
festive board where an elegant supper
handsomely served greeted their well
come presence, and for a while it was
made place of mirth and joy. The
table was profusely decorated with
the most beautiful flowers obtainable,
and everything arranged with that
taste and attractiveness which only
willing hearts and cultured hands can
practice. The young people then par
ticipated in dancing for the rest of the
evening.
The Orange lake band furnished
music for the occasion and until late
hour bright faces smiled and graceful
forms glided in harmony with sweet
strains of music.
Those who assembled to do honor to
the fair young couple, except the inn
mediate family of each, were Mr.. and
Mrs. Kimmons, Mr.. and Mrs. G.. B.
Reddick, Mr.. and Mrs. w. J. STEM
man, Mrs. Waterman, of Ocala,
Misses Martin and O'Neil, of Cedar
Keys, Willie Nixon and sister, Miss
Annie, of Orange Lake, Messrs. E. p.
Thagard, ]. w. Fife, Ed ID. Rou, S. F.
Rongo, III. G. Dansby, r. Binnier, w.
F. Pulliam and Walter Babbitt. The
latter two with Misses Reddick and
O'Neil acted as walters to the bridal
couple. Miss Mamie, the bright
young sister Of the bride, acted
bridesmaid to perfection.
The presents donated by apprecia-
tive friends were numerous and val
liable. We hope for these noble, de-
serving young people the smiles of a
kind providence. May the shadows
which must come to every ones path
way be only the boundary lines of the
sunshine may be poured upon them.
THE pure, Open prosperous love
That's pledged on earth and sealed above,
Grows in the worlds approving eyes,
In friendships smile and homes caress;
Collecting all the hearts sweet ties
Into one knot of happiness
