The following is what was said of
Ocala's growth:
While there have not been as many
buildings erected here this year in
Ocala ~ in former years, there has
been more changes in real estate than
in any year during the past decade.
More than 100000 in real estate has
changed hands; every dwelling and
every business house is occupied; the
tone in real estate values and in busi-
ness il firm, and the outlook is alto
gether flattering.
Mrs Mary EagletOn has just COM
pleted q very elegant residence on
Ocklawshs avenue, one of the prin-
cipsl residence streets of our city.
She is preparing to move into it in
few days.

81 $50 in repairing and additions to his
home on Exposition street.

thirteen dwellings and has had most
Of them repaired, enlarged and paint

disposed OF, and as soon as $4,000
more j. raised the building will be
commenced.
The erection Of the cassava factory,
which has been in contemplation for
some time. has not been abandoned
aud the prospects are that it will be
completed within the year, and will
perhaps mean more To the farming
