urged on the other hand that the pro-
posed new park is to far out for people to
reach on foot, ana, as before stated, the
opinion that we would stl have the City

The town is also stirred up by the pros
pect of new tourist hotel growing out of
the court house matter. The proposal of
Frank A. Miller to provide quarters for the
county in the proposed new Glenwood
commends itself to most people on its in
dependent merits but the prospect it holds
out of a 100000 tourist hotel gives addi-

Hurrah for Marion County, Printing
Done at Home.
Printing

The new board of supervisors
of Marion county has requested
the county officials to buy all
blanks, envelopes and letter
heads from Marion county print
ers, and threatened to cut foreign
printing bills till they will not
want to do work for Marion
county. The resolution recites
that home printed blanks may
not have any red lines around
them, but they are good enough
for poor folks, and the money is
kept in circulation in Marion
county and not vaulted away in
the office of some city printing
company, that we had rather see
the home printer have two dollars
to buy pocket knife with than
to have travelling representative
march in with a half dozen such
knives to give away. The Marion
county board is evidently COM
posed of a solid, sensible lot of
men.-Marshall Star.

They are declaring in favor of
reducing Official salaries thirty
three and one-third per cent; in
favor Of giving the preference to
home manufacturers and for a
lower freight rate to the gulf, if
they have to build a state rail-
road to get it. There is a great
deal of active thinking going on
and political bosses may find that
the people are after something
more than windy promises. A
great many Of the farmers say
that public officials are doing
nothlng by precept or example
for the building up of home in
dustries OF securing lower
freights, and that present salaries
were fixed on basis of 20 cent
cotton and scarcity of educated
men to fill the offices. AS values
get low and labor gets less re-
munerative, the people become
more earnest in the discussion of
all these things. The farmers
are asking the business men for
joint meetings on these ques-

makes his living by cutting wood,
living in a tent. His name he

der the name of Louie Soucie,
being a French Canadian, but
having made his home in Texas
many years. He sat in his sad
die a long while, seeming to have
plenty of strength. He claims
to have seen George Washington,
and to have held his mount for
him. His neighbors fully believe
his statement as to his age. This
being true, he is without doubt
the Oldest active man in America,
except some few Death Valley
Indians. His life in tent in our
pure mountain air promises to be
extended over many years yet"

Mayor-Eleet c, 4. Campbell,

Among the many complimentary
press notices about Mayor Elect C H.
Campbell are the following:
The Macon (Ga) Evening News
says: "Mr. c. IL. Campbell, who was
once resident of Macon, has won for
himself an enviable reputation in
Florida, where he has made his resi-
dence since 1882. A few days ago he
was selected mayor of Ocala Mr..
Campbell will make an able executive
Of Ocala. He is popular, energetic,
discreet and dignified. He knows how
to adapt himself to the wants and re-
quirements of the people, and is thor
oughly acquainted with the condi-
tions of the city"
The Western Fireman and Journal
of Public Works Chicago says: "On
Tuesday of last week Ex-Chief G. FL.
Campbell, of the Ocala, Fla, fire de-
partment was by an immense major
ity elected mayor of that city. Those
who attended the fire chiefs conven-
ton in Montreal in 1894 will recall the
novel and successful industrial exhibit
which Ar. Campbell made there in
behalf of the state of Florida and es-
pecially of Ocala, and of the enthusi-
astic meeting of the Florida Firemen's
Association which in the fall of that
year was held there. BY the adver-
tisement thus secured the interest of
many persons outside the state were
enlisted and sustained"
The IN. " Fireman's Herald, of
the 23rd inst, among other things,
says: "Mr. Campbell attended the
convention of the National Assocla-
ton of Fire Engineers at Montreal
and made an exhibit of Florida pro-
ducts that opened the eyes of his
northern brethren and made Ocala the
talk of the convention. He is an en-
tbusiastic, earnest, energetic, progres-
sive man, and will make an able ex-
ecutive. The Herald extends congrat-
ulations."
The two latter journals produced an
excellent likeness of Mr.. Campbell.
