Compliment to a Gentleman Well
Known in 0cala.

Capt. w. c. Zimmerman, of Dune
din, mas been a guest at the Suwan-
nee Springs for the past week. Capt.
Zimmerman is one of the best known
men in South Florida, and has done
as much to develop the section of the
state in which he lives, and to adj
vance the phosphate and other in
dustries as any other person. For
years Capt Zimmerman was clerk OF
the court of Citrus county, but on ac-
count of feeble health he retired
from office and is making his home
with his son at Dunedin. We hope
his stay at Suwannee Springs may
prove beneficial to his health and
that he will soon return. The Demo
crat is always pleased to welcome
such men as Capt. Zimmerman to
our county, even though they tarry
