FERTILIZER FACTORY.

Capt. @. M. Wells, the most suit
able man in Ocala for the business,
in behalf of the committee, has
called a meeting of citizens in the
Ocala House tomorrow evening
at z:3o to discuss the advisability
and suggest plans and methods of
establishing fertilizer factory and
other practical and much needed
enterprises in Ocala and vicinity.
It is ofvital Importance to every
man having the welfare of Ocala
at heart to attend this meeting
not as a fgure-head, to sit and say
nothing, but do something, get en-
Unused, and go to work.
Capt. Wells and others have
some very superior plans to put
before the people good, solid
business plans, both practical and
within the reach of our people.
What is the matter with Ocala ?
You say, Nothing; she's all
right.
That, brother, is just what is the
matter with her.
We are doing very we'll, and
most of us are too well satisfied
with the present condition of
things.
We are going to wake up,
though. to a sense of the great i'm
provements within our grasp.
Make them dissatisfied with the
position we occupy, then we will
see vast improvements.
We have many advantages and
improvcments-more than most
towns Of our size-but we have
not enough for Ocala.
She expects more, and WE ARE
GOING TO HAVE THEM

PROSPECTIVE SETTLERS.

w P. Haisley told a STAR re
porter yesterday that three gentle
men came TO Ocala yesterday on
horseback from Putnam county,
looking for some good agricultural
land to purchase, on which they
could make living.
They expressed themselves as
well pleased with Ocala's surround
ings, and said they thought they
had found what they were looking
for
This is the kind of settlers we
need in our county, and we have a
class of lands that will satisfy
them.

FOR LOVES SAKE.

Sometimes | am temp ted to murmur
That life is fitting away,
With only round OF triaes
Filling each busy day;
busting hooks and corners,
Making the house look fair,
And patiently taking on me
The burden of woman's care.
Comforting childish sorrows,
And charming the childish heart
With the simp song and story,
Told with mothers art;
Setting the dear home table
And clearing the meal away,
And going on little errands
In the twilight of the day.
One day is just like another,
Sewing and piecing well
Little jackets and trousers
So neatly that none can tell
Where are the seams and jennings
Ali the seamy side of life
Is kept out of sight by the magic
Of many mother and wife9
And oft when Pm ready to murmur
That life is fitting away,
With the selfsame round of duties
Filling each busy day,
It comes to my spirit sweetly,
With the grace of thought divine:
You are living. toiling for loves sake.
And the loving should never repine.
f'You are guiding the little footsteps
In the way they ought to walk;
You are dropping word for Jesus
In the midst of your household talk;
Living YOUR life for loves sake
Till the homely cares grow sweet
And sacred the self-denial
That is laid at the Masters feet"

A Noisy FEMALE.-Last night the
police found white woman named ed
Maud Henderson, apparently about 50
years of age, drunk on north Fairfax
Street aud very disorderly. She refused
to accompany them. to the station house,
and she being vigorous, it took four
men to bring her to the lookup. She
was very disorderly and after having
been placed in one of the new cells
so disturbed the dreams of twelve
tramps who were asleep around the
stove that she had to be taken to an
other part IF the station house and lso-
lated. This morning when brought in
to the Police Court she said her home
was in Fredericksburg. She has been
in this city at different times for several
years past. The effect of the liquor
She drank yesterday were still visable,
and she was inclined to be loquacious,
denying the charges made against her
IN toto. Itappeared that the woman
has nohome, and a fine of $3.50 was
imposed, and having no money she
was sent to the work house.

With the clang of church bells, the
shrill and hoarse whistles of numerous
steam craft, saw mills. machine shops,
locomotives and everything else having
one, the footing of horns and the dis
charge of firearms, together with the
commingling of thousands of voices
bidding each other ga Happy New

Largely attended watch-meetings were
held in several churches. The bell in
The City Hall steeple commenced toll
ing about ten minutes before twelve
o'clock and when the clock began to
ring out the midnight hour the din
seemed greater than on any such
occ .sion in Alexandria. Groups of
persons of both sexes could be seen all
.bout the city, laughing and shouting
TO one another, vieing as to who was
ha, ing the better time. The din and
the noise continued for nearly half an
hour. but gradually decreased, until
only here and there all occasional
cannon cracker would explode: In
about an hours time the city had as
sumed its normal quiet.

The MUSICALE given at St. PauFs
chapel last night for the Sunday school
building fund, was q very enjoyable
affair. Too much cannot be said in
praise of the artistic performance upon
the harp by Miss Anita Cluss. All the
numbers given by her were beautifully
executed, especially the Seasons" and
welsh Melodies" by APP Thomas, the
famous Welsh harpist, who, doubtless,
had he been present, would have been
charmed with the faithful interpreta-
tion Of his works. Miss Cluss was as
sisted by Miss Dexter, mezzo soprano,
who rendered two numbers quite ac-
ceptably. Mr.. Vanometre Gates gave
a reading from Reinzi, and closed the

the part of the Southern. Re

DIssoLUT1oN.-As will be seen by a
notice elsewhere, the well-known firm
of Downham 4 Green, wholesale
liquor dealers, has been dissolved by
the withdrawal of the Junior partner.
This was one. of the Oldest firms in the
city, the partnership having been form
ed thirtv-two years ago. The integri-
ty of both members, together with their
enterprise, has made them successful
in marked degree, and they have aid
ed no little in the expansion of Alexan-
dria's commerce. Mr.. Downham will
conduct the business in the future.
Mr.. Green has not yet selected the
branch of business he will enter.

The COLUMBIA FIRE ENGINE.-Tbe
finishing touches having been put upon
the Columbia engine she will be re-
moved from the workshop aud placed
in service either this evening or TO-
morrow morning. The pumps, valves,
hues, &C., were thoroughly overhauled
while waiting for the nickel platers and
a substantial new fuel basket replaces
the old one, worn outin use heretofore.
In material and labor the city has been
presented with fully $3.50. The nickel
plating done by Doremus Il Just, Of
Washington, is an excellent piece OF
work and reflects great credit upon
that firm. The jacket was cut and
fitted by T. Waddey, the painting and
decorating has been done by Lucien
Dutfey, while the remainder of the
work was performed by Engineer
Wood, and the engine as she stands to-
day is beautiful piece OF machinery.
Mr., 2. F. German presented the com.
pany with the iron for the new fuel
basket and several gentlemen who
understand that kind Of work assisted
in the work of constructing it. Inc
members of the company have good
reasons for feeling proud of their appa-
ratus, it having made them many warm
friends by its achievements upon the
occasions of their visits to other cities
in the past. In all probability the
company will attend the great cotton
exposition at Atlanta next summer and
enter the contest to be made on that
occasion.

tiyities of the season by sumptuous
banquet last night at the Opera House
restaurant, prepared by that prince OF
caterers, Mr.. Louis Brill, VINO present
ed his guests with menu so tempting
that the fact Of week Of feasting had
been INDUCED in, was, for the time,
forgotten, and with due diligence serious
inroads were made upon the tempt
ing viauds which were so lavishly
spread. Toasts, anecdotes and songs
enlivened the company until the town
bell began to toll the departing minutes
OF the expiring year. Then The guests
arose from the festive board and after a
hearty bumper to his health AID three

sion was terminated with "Auld Lang
Syne" and the banquetters repaired to
the street to mingle their voices in the
already loud acclaim with which the
advent of the new year was being
G ected.
The Belle-Haven Literary and Social
Society devoted the last hours of the
year 1894 in discussing the menu which
was laid before the Society and its
guests last night by Mr.. Frederick
Schwab, at his restaurant, on Royal
street. The table was spread in the
parlors and the host outdid himself in
decorations and in the bountiful supply
Of the most tempting delicacies which
constrained his guests, almost against
their inclinations, to add yet again to
the surfeit of Teasing which the yule
tide had brought to them. As a
slight indulgence in the cheer seemed
to develop an appetite anew, several
hours were spent around the board
and the ringing and blowing" advent
of the year 1895 found the guests re-

company adjourned, all wishing fos
their host and for each other a "happy
