Reddick's Glory
Tuesday
JOSH

To the Editor q the Ocala Banner.
Infinitely to the credit Of the peo-
pie Of Reddick Is the new sub-district
school house.
It Is beautifully located and would
be an ornament 70 much larger and
more financially favored village.
The structure is 30 feet wide by 50
feet long, its height to the caves be
ing 20 feet.
1t is provided with an abundance of
ventilation and light, and exhibits the
beneficial results of careful planning
and thorough workmanship. There is
ample room in the edifice to accom-
mOdate, perhaps, three times the
number Of scholars now enrolled.
The best talent has been secured as
instructors.
To the casual observer it Is pro-
nounced "a good school house for the
kids"
To the more thoughtful citizen it is a
monument to the patriotic manhood
and Americanism of the sturdy citi-
zens of Reddick. II is a conspicuous
pyramid OF the true worth Of men
who shorn of all sordid appeals to
pocket and prejudice, dares TO inspire
within the soul of the living genera
ton the hope of God given rights. 1t
means the cultivation of the intellect
without which the country cannot
progress.
Here, in Reddick. the question of
higher education was persistently
agitated, and where shall the children
be educated? They resolved TO edu-
cate them at home, and with that in
domitable pluck characteristic of the
class of men who achieve noble
works, this handsome and spacious
institute of learning has-fguratively
speaking-sprang upi like mushroom.
When years have passed and these
energetic and resolute citizens shall
have disappeared from this mundane
sphere, the memory of this, their
noble work, will, through the ages,
be handed down to posterity who in
turn realizing and accepting the
glorious precept that obtains in the
fact now accomplished, and the fruits,
having been righteously and persis-
tently disseminated as time rolls by
because imbued with the same spirit.
and, emulating the good done by the
ancestors, strive to enlarge and i'm
prove upon the inestimable boon thus
established, and in the deep recesses
of the soul will rise a halo of glory
to the name of every worker who has
done his work wisely and well.
Push the educational facilities, en-
Tighten and carefully train the young

affection to a man of much educa-

take a decOction of ground quassia, a

and to put about a small teaspoonful
of it in little water, and to drink it
down every time the liquor thirst
came on me violently. | found it sat

feeling of stimulus and strength.

until the thirst was conquered. For two
years / hav' >, lasted liquor, and |

The question Of q new court house
i one OF much importance 70 the
citizens Of this county just now. The
writer was an interested istner at
the informal discussion Of that sub
iect before the commissioners at their
last meeting. II was interesting and
amusing 10 see what a diversity of
opinion there was among the speak
ers a. 10 what would be the best plan
in reference to the matter-sOme
contending that the old house was
good enough. When some old hay
seed would pop up and advocate a
S75. 900. cut. That We need and
must have a more cOmmodious court
house is plain 70 be seen by all rea-
sonable thinking men. Anyone hear
ing Judge W. s. Bullocks talk on
that subject would be constrained to
vote for a better court house. While
We are cautioned TO examine the
treasury balances appearing in the
proceedings of the county commits
sioners and told that our finances
will not admit of any extra expense,
there are ways to raise sufficient
money to enlarge and improve the
present building and make it sufficient
for all purposes. Let the commits
sioners levy an extra tax to raise
thirty-fve or forty thousand dollars
say within thee years. Employ COM
petent and honest architects and see
that the money appropriated goes to
the work and leave no room for
fraud, as was said TO have been in
building the present court house,
when a then prominent business
man of this county boosted that he
pocketed 5000 of the money appro-
priated to build it. Let Us not be
extravagent but keep within the
limits of reason.
