having been diseon ,inued, "Touch.
stone' well remembers the establish
ment Of the office and the smaliness of
the shipments in its earliest years. The
agent was on commission and received
"a very meager salary about SIS per
month. But it quickly leaped into
prominence and became the largest
orange shipping point on the road.
Seven 10 ten carloads of oranges per
day were the usual average during the
season. Now il has fallen of again
until the receipts are so small that
none can be found poor enough to
want the place. "How is thy glory
departed ~ Sic transit gloria mundi!
Again We make our bow TO the
county commissioners. Your prede-
cessors wasted much of The peoples
money aiding tine Ocala exposition,
building dare ng halls, ard other fol-
lies from whicl' the country people
derived no benefit. Your honorable
body IS paying out goodly sum each
month for feeding "c00nsn in Jail and
far hire of road hands, aud vet we
have the poorest roads of any state
east of the Mississippi. Surely your
united wisdom can devise some
scheme by which the county convicts
can he employed on the public roads
with economy. Other states are NOV
ing vigorously in this good roads mat
ter-using the convicts to build first
class thor0uehfsres- and it behooves
the banner county of our beloved state
to take the lead and see what can be
done along this line. This is a matter
of vast importance to Oeala, worth
dozens Of dance halls and exhibitions.
II Ocala wishes to recover her trade
and build again her waste places let
her move for good roads, secure first
class thOroughlares from Ocala in va
rious directions to the county lines,
and your streets will be filed with
teams and your stores crowded with
country people as never before in your
paImiest days. "Touehstone" hopes
that the other Banner correspondents |
will help to keep cternally at it Until |
we get first-class r.ads for Marion
