goers is the work of Mr.. Dan S. Holt.
Mr. Holt is a Macon, Ga, boy, and is

SON." He is the possessor of very
strong dialect and from his knowledge
of the peculiarities and character of
the negro on his native heath, pre-
sents one of the most clever imita-
tons to be found in minstrelsy. The
Natchez, Miss, Press says of his work
there, The singing and grotesque

THE ENTERING WEDGE


of High Freight Rates
Important moves, Ike the ore con-
templated by the incorporation of the
A. Brown & Bros. wholesale grocery
company, in this city. in connection
with line of boats from Jacksonville
TO Silver Springs, as a means of reduc-
ing the freight rates between these
points and this city, is a matter that
cannot be done in a day, and one in
which the leading spirit has been Jake
Brown.
Efforts have been made by the board
of trade to make the state railroad
commission see that under the SEIZED
ules, no cities outside of seaport and
river towns, had any chance to grow,
commercially. The rates were, and
are, restrictive, and in consequence it
is impossible for an interior point or
town to build up jobbing trade.
This move, which we trust will be
successful, will be the entering wedge
of making Ocala a basing point, and
as such will make lower freight rates
than can be secured by the present
railroad schedule, with a difference in
the rates of 10 to % per cent. over
those now prevailing, will enable the
jobbers of this city to meet Jackson
vile and Tampa competitors, and by
it increase their trade 100 per cent.
We say this move is the entering
wedge" 1t has come about through a
sagacious business discernment of the
rate situation, and seeing no POSSIBLE
ity of inducing the railroads entering
this city to cOncede anything.
Mr.. Brown has been persistent in his
advocacy of taking steps to break the
| combine and reach out for new and
cheaper lines of communication, and
the Silver Springs and Oklawaha river
route is one nature is ready to present
to those who have a resolve to help
themselves.
Mr. Brown has been so enthusiastic
in his efforts that it has borne fruit in
the reorganization and enlargement Of
the business of which he has been a
decided factor in creating and interest
ing other enterprising business men of
this city who have means, and who are
almost as enthusiastic as the project
or in helping themselves, as well as
the city of Ocala.
Now, that steps have been taken to
test the vital question, it should be the
bounden duty of every loyal Ocalan,
whether in business or not, to watch
the perfectAg of the plans devised,
and aid in every possible way. Every
merchant should unite in this PROPOSE
ton and enter into an ironclad obliga-
ton to give every pound of freight
they have to come into Ocala to the
extent Of their ability to this new Or
ganization. It will be an opportunity
to show to the world how much every
merchant in Ocela thinks Of his town
and what he is willing to do to promote
it's growth and prosperity.
This entering wedge will be a
splitting hit of Importance that will
be the biggest material thing that has
been attempted in Ocala in its his
tory. Let us form an iron brigade and
fight the battle of progress. =

New York, Dec. 1a-The vexed question
of wife's allowance crops up every now

cussion leaves one no nearer a solution
than one was in the past.
Some contend that mo allowance is
responsible for many of the divorces.
others that. women never having been
trained to know the value of money. the
husband has double tax on his pocket
book-he must provide the allowance and
pay the dressmaker's bills as well.
The new woman advances the opinion
that the opportunities for earning money
to-day-which means independence-are
so much greater than they were few
years ago that women are loath to place
themselves in position where they must
ask for every penny they need.
1t is put forth by many that this Ques-
tion of money between husband and wife
Is one Of the most fruitful sources of un-
happiness. 1t is urged that an ante-nup-
tial agreement as TO the exact financial
ability of the man would obviate many
bitter MISUNDERSTANDING later.
