How He Stands at Home.

This paper takes great plasure in
calling the attention of its readers to
the card of Mr.. n. M. Alfred, an
nouncing his candidacy to the Office
of States Attorney for this, the fifth
judicial Circuit.
Mr.. Alfred is a man in the strictest
and truest sense, and for that reason
Ocala is proud to acknowledge him
as one of her native born citizens.
He is now in the prime of vigorous
young manhood, and no one of his
years in this circuit has won greater
measure of success in his profession.
There are more eloquent lawyers
at the bar, but none more forceful
and incisive.
He studies his cases thoroughly,
has his facts logically arranged, and
always presents them to the very
best advantage.
No Sythian blade is welded truer
or more successfully than Mr.. ALI
reds logic in dissecting cases and
discomforting his adversaries.
Like David Crockett, he is 'sure
he's right" before he "goes ahead,
and when he takes position he has
Scotch blood enough in him to be
unyielding and impregnable; is abb
solutely incorruptible and If elected
will make an ideal prosecuting at

tive, and Mrs. Prince, making AN eN-
cuse, returned to Red Oak, took hen
