OCALA CHORAL SOCIETY,"

At the meeting of this society
last evening it was decided to sus-
pend the regular rehearsals until
further notice; but those members
who wish to continue their
practicing are invited by Prof.
Sowden to meet at his house on
Thursday evenings, as usual.
The secretary, w. L. Jewett, re-
quests that any one having music
belonging to the society will re-
turn it to him so that it will be
properly cared for and be ready
for use when the rehearsals are
again taken up.
We arc exceedingly sorry to
learn that this most excellent mu-
sical society has seen fit to tempo
rarily disband. They have fur
nished Ocala many delightful mu-
sical treats, for which the people
are truly thankful.
We sincerely hope that the sus-
pension will not be for long, and
that we may again at an early date
have the pleasure of listening to
their sweet music.

AT THE OPERA HOUSE

A great throng of veterans and
ladies gathered at the opera house
last night to hear the speeches to
be delivered.
Mr.. Hemming of Gainesville,
Texas, delivered the finest speech
on the Confederate cause that was
ever heard in Florida. He moved
the audience to tears and was
cheered until the building shook.
Mr. Hemming, at the close of his
speech, unveiled large picture OF
a monument to be erected by
him in his native city, Jackson
vile. The monument will be an
immense and beautiful production,
in bronze and granite, Go feet high,
and will cost $4,000 when COM
pleted. 1t will be to the memory
of the Confederacy. At the top
will be a full sized statue of Con-
federate private. AT the corners
of the base will be life sized
statues of Generals Lee, Albert
Sydney Johnston, and our towns
man, Gen. J. J. Dickerson. Tears
came to the eyes of the old gener-
al as we'll as the entire audience
when, all expectedly, came the an
nouncement that his monument,
while he is yet alive, will be placed
among the Confederacy's most il
lustrious dead. This was the
crowning glory of the old generals
career, coming, now in the decline
of his long and well spent life.
Gen. Armstrong also spoke and
was not far behind his predecessor
in eloquence. The old veterans
had such a stirring up last night
as they have not experienced in
many day. Everybody felt a
warm glow IN their hearts when
the meeting broke up.

WE SAW THEM.

While strolling around yester-
day we stopped in L. Il. Water
mans store and were surprised to
see such an immense stock OF
piece goods and tailors' supplies.
We did not suppose such a stock
as they now have would be carried
in Ocala. Yesterday, in addition
to their already large stock, they
received about $1,000 worth Of all
the latest spring shades IN piece
goods, and If you cal and look at
them it will make you feel like you
wanted half a dozen suits made
up, the styles are SO beautiful.
Mr.. Waterman is a thorough busi-
ness man and always keeps up
with the times. He keeps the
best of cutters and tailors and
makes suits as cheap IS the same
goods and work can be obtained
anywhere. Go and examine his
goods and leave your order for a
suit. He also keeps the largest
stock of ready-made suits to be
found in the city.

RAPIDLY GETTING INTO SHAPE.
FitzgeraId's Railways, TeIegraphs
and Business Houses Getting Set


Fitzgerald, Ga, Feb. 26.-For several
days the directors and managers of the
colony have been consulting with Capt.
H. II. Tiff in regard to the location of the
depot for the Triton and Northeastern
railroad. 1t has at last been decided that
the road will enter the town on Monitor
drive and proceed along that to the east
end of Central, running just west of the
Georgia and Alabama track. The depot
will be located just across the street from
the Georgia and Alabama depot and just
a little to the west. 1t was the intention,
at first to have a union depot, but terms
could not be agreed upon between the
two roads, so another site was selected
for the Triton and Northeastern. Work
on this road is going on steadily and the
road will be in as soon as the work can
be done. The telegraph along that line is
also being pushed this way and Capt.
Tiff says that theirs will be the first tele-
graph line into Fitzgerald. He thinks
that this is as it should be and would
have been glad, if 1t had been possible to
have theirs the first railroad as WELL but
that was not possible. The Georgia and
Alabama are now enjoying a great rush
of business, having unloaded about seven
ty-five carloads of freight last week. Their
telegraph line as also being put up as rap
idly as possible.
The oath was odd Fellows day, for on
that day Grand Master Manucy of Sa-
vannah, with large crowd, came TO in
stitute the lodge at Fitzgerald The cit
liens met hem at the depot with the band
and escorted them over the city. A large
escort of the brothers were in line and
went with them to show the sights of the
city. They were first taken to Midway,
and from there to the better parts of the
city. In the evening the lodge was insti-
tutd with about 100 members. The visit
ing members expressed the greatest sur
prise at the rapid growth and the pros
perity of the city. They were much
pleased with the site of the town itself,
as is everyone who visits the place The
Well graded streets with trees planted in
rows down the center, never fail to call
forth the admiration of the visitors.
Midway is fast losing caste and the bet
ter merchants are about all either moved
or moving. The Witham Bank and Mr.
Goodman's drug store are being moved
to the center of the town Site and j. H.
Harris will move into his new building
in day or two. Shacktown is becoming
so deserted that the merchants could not
afford to remain there much longer, even
If the peremtory order of the board had
not been issued. AS it is they are scatter
ing as fast as they can make ready a
place to go into. The best merchants had
been building, of course, but the others
are now preparing In one way or another
to leave Midway at once
Another large plant has been secured
