L il announced in the newspapers
that Mr.. John y. {. Stockton's de
posit Of phosphate rock il Levy coun-
ty j. the richest in the world.
1t covers q large area and reaches to
great depths.
Possessing value a. a fertilizer in
restoring worn out soils phosphate
rock ranks almost in price along with
gold, silver and precious stones.
1t il not impossible that the history
of Mr.. Stockton will read word for
word like the history Of the early
operators in gold mining in Califor-
mia aud later ones at Cripple Creek
whose fortunes in few years became
fabulous.
If this dream were TO come true to
the letter it would be gratifying to
Mr. StOckton's friends and to none
more 50 than the editor of this paper.
Assuming that fortune shall thus
smile upon him and that he in time
shall be seized with desire to do
great things for the state of his nativi-
ty, determining TO become and should
become greater Genii to the west
coast that Mr.. Flagler has beeL to the
east coast; that, beginning at Escam-
bias sparkling waters, he should build
and equip railway, and hugging the
west coast, should extend it on down
to Cape Sable, and at Pensacola,

SHALL ocAIA HAVE a STATE FAIR Z

In speaking Of Oeala's auction sale
OF blooded cattle, the Florida Agri-
culturist il led to say the following:
1.-The more is ii 20 be regretted that
the apathy Of the legislature and GER
tain local entanglements have post
pOned-fCr We cannot believe they
have killed-the day Of an unbroken
succession OF State Fairs
Despite the failure of the legisla-
L tUre 10 make an appropriation, why
cannot Ocala undertake this benefi-
cent enterprise? The work Is already
half accomplished.
The race track, including the grand
stand, the judges stand, baseball dia-
m0nd, etc, i completed and under
good fence.
Nothing remains to be done but the
construction OF building for the ex-
hibi;s and sheds for the cattle. poul-
Try, etc.
When Ocala was much smaller
than the town is today she erected
semi-;ropicaI exposition building and
gave an exposition which lasted for
three months and the benefits result
ing therefrom are s,il being felt
throughout the stale.
During the entire life OF the expo
>irion the management had an i'm
ported band and other attractions and
for d single advertisement in the
New York World paid out the sum Of
two thousand dollars.
Cannot This patriotic spirit be re-
infused into the lite Of our people?
The cattle sale, itself, which has led
to the suggestion Of the Florida Ag-
ricuilurist shows that some of Ocala'-
citizens are still possessed of the old
time fire.
Let sh-accordlg 70 their several
abilities-show the same spirit and
state fair will be Of very easy accom-
plishment.
If Ocala goes ahead in this work
and has state fair which shall be
alike creditable aud successful, every
obligation liqIidated and every prom
i-e fulfilled, We believe the state will
Reimburse the stockholders 10y a
generous donation and the location
OF The fair in Ocala will be perma-
ueutand Will be followed every year
with all annual appropriation.
The benefits accruing to the town,
the county and the state, scarcely
heed reciting.
