THAT Is WHAT WE WILL HAVE
IN 0CALA
If the Present Enthusiasm Keeps
Up-A Few More Meetings
and It's a Go,
LAST NIGHTS MEETING.

Not tbousand--but a goodly
number-of Ocala's best men were
present at last nights meeting.
The meeting was called to order
little after s o'clock by the chair
man, Mayor Reardon, who ad-
dressed the meeting with a few
well chosen remarks. This fac
tory, he said, is the salvation of
our city. It will be the beginning
of great times of prosperity, and
we must have it even at personal
sacrifice. He said it was better to
give half of what we have than not
to secure the factory. Mayor
Reardon also advised the establish
ing of other factories.
We can only give few CT the
remarks of each speaker.
Capt Wells followed with a very
practical talk, telling what he had
done since the last meeting, and
exhibited the long list of subscrib-
ers to the factory, which spoke
louder than words. He said the
aggregate was over $4,000, every
dollar of which could be utilized in
the business. He was confident of
raising the amount, $500, 900, in a
shorter time than he first thought.
He said should we fail to raise
the amount after exhausting the
material in Ocala, then we would
call on outside capital, and could
get all that we might need. Capt.
Wells said he thought the amount
raised was very encouraging for 10
days time.
c. I. Bittinger then spoke few
very encouraging words. He said
he was never more in favor of any,
thing in his life. He said, Put me
down for 20 acres of land out yon-
der. don't know what it is
worth. / have 40 acres. Youmay
have half of it"
Speeches were made by Albert
Wright, President Mcconnell, F.
E. Harris, Major Rocks, Frank P.
Gadson, and others.
