Old lime Religion.

Joe Sappington, humorous writer
in the Gainesville (Tex.) Star-Forum,
draws the following glowing pen
picture of the old-tirhe preacher and
old-time religion, which are true to
life:
1.-The OId-time preacher and the
most of his congregation have long
river. 1 think the grandest men that
ever lived were these old pioneer
servants of God, who preached His
gospel for the sake of humanity and
the love Of his cause. l had rather
claim kinship with these grand old
ministers of the meek and lowly
Savior than to know that blood of
kings cOursed my veins. The old
time preacher was a little behind on
rhetoric, grammar, theatrical poses
and big salary, but he was never
found tagging behind while serving
his master. think i can hear Saint
Peter say to serving angel when
one of these old ministers appears at
the pearly gates of Heaven: Here
comes old Uncle Billy, true servant
of the LORD. Go, bring me that big
seven and three-quarter crown with a
thous .nd jewels-not that six and
three-quarter one with a lone pearl,
that's for one of those pigeon-toed
preachers that says 'awmen' at the
end of his prayers, that will be here
next week, and who gets ten thou
sand dollars a year for $3.50 worth of
preaching

But this is not the kind of an enter
prise Florida is mostly in need of lust
now She has lands in plenty. In
deed. her people are almost land poor
and would entirely be so had it not
been for the development of the tur-
pentine industry and the fortunate
discovery of phosphate. Farming
and vegetable lands still go begging
at almost any old price. What Flor
ida needs is people to cultivate her
lands and build up her cities, and man
ufacturing industries to give employ
ment to skilled labor.
Draining ponds, lakes, rivers, saw
grass praries and everglades can wait
for long time yet before these lands
are actually needed, and it would be
much better for the development of
the state if men with capital and the
spirit of enterprise could be persuad-
ed to turn their attention in other
directions.
As good lands as can be found any,
where in the south, near to schools.
churches and transportation, can now
be had almost for the asking.

tive lands of the interior, is of much

When the Seaboard Air Line rail
way was being built from Waldo on
down the peninsular it made several
serious mistakes, which it has ALWAYS
regretted.
For example, instead of coming
through Ocala direct, it skirted the
city, coming in from the east, going
to the west and making a bend again
before proceeding south. Il missed
all the rich hammock lands which
would have been so profitable to il in
increased freights. 1t missed Lake
Weir, which afterwards became
almost solid orange grove and the
Seaboard was compelled afterwards
to tap it with branch road
1t missed Sumterville in Sumter
county and went across tue head
waters of Lake Pannasoffkee where
p ling had to be driven down to the
depth of eighty feet or more, which
involved great cost and labor and for
which it received no remuneration
whatever.
If the G. & G. misses Ocala in its
march southwark it will make "a
fatal mistake as did the Seaboard
Air Line.
Ocala is growing town and if it
be possible to build a city anywhere
in the interior, Ocala is destined to
become that city and if the G.. K G..
SO near it now, passes it by, it will
display exceedingly bad business
judgment, but if the road can stand
it Ocala will have to.
We have been requested TO urge a
meeting of the citizens in order to
take this matter under consideration
and offer inducements to the G.. & G..
to come our way. But, we are as
much opposed to paying this kind Of
indemnity as the car of Russia was
to paying indemnity to Japan, and il
the 6. & G.. proposes to sidetrack US,
why it seems to us that the only
timing for Ocala to do is to be side
tracked and make the most of it.
