THE REMOVAL OF AN Old LAND
MARK.

The Delouest building. which is
now being torn down, is the Oldest
business structure in Ocada.
Just after the close of the civil war
Messrs. e. ]. Harris and Samuel Ag-
new formed copertnership and did
the first mercantile business in Ocala
after the restoration of peace. They
soon dissolved partnership and Capt.
Agnew erected the building that is
now being removed and it was in it
he laid the foundation for the for
tune that he afterwards achieved.
Capt Agnew's business soon be-
came so large that he was forced to
seek larger quarters and this build
ing was then occupied by Colonel Ra-
mage, and d. A. Miller was his man
ager, and it was here that this gen.
tlemen so prominently identified with
the history and progress of this city,
began his career.
1t was here also that DR.. Edward
Delouest, brother or the present oW-
ner, laid the foundation for the magni-
ficent business that he built up.
It's last occupant was j. w. Alex
ander, one of Ocala's most indus
trious colored citizens, and he, like
all the other occupants of it, succeed
ed in doing very fine trade. Good
fortune seemed to have followed its
every occupant.
The building has been added to
since it was first constructed and is
intimately associated with the history
of our city. But it belongs ~ 49,
age and must be hewn down to give
place 70 a more stately building more
in keeping with the Ocala of to
day.
