Get Ready For the New Year.

The above heading may appear odd at
first glance, but what the News wants
to get at is the action that should be
taken for promotion of activity during
the season that is now almost upon US.
The period Of activity begins with the
spring.
There is little room for doubt that the
campaigns of advertising that have been
carried on for several years are now a
bout to yield their largest harvests. 1t
IS fact that it takes certain amount
of repetition to convince many people
that proposition is good one. 1t is
so with reference to the opportunities
that exist in a new country. In the case
Of northern Wisconsin it took many re-
petitions to convince the public that this
great area was not covered with sand.
Then they had to be convinced that it
was not studded with pine stumps.
Then that the soil was productive.
All these things have been accomplish
ed by persistent advertising. Finally
/ the fac5 had become admitted and we
are ready to avail ourselves of the ben
! Cts that, accrue from constant effort.
This year ought to be a good lone.
What the county wants is more buyers
Of land for use. We want the actual
settler. A special effort should be made
along that line. All the businessmen
of Ladysmith can afford, and well afford,
no contribute toward this result.
/ An organized effort along this line
would be good thing.
This should be done in an honesA and
economic effort to accomplish results.
None has money to throw away all have
more or less to be judiciously usedA for
the betternaent of the community.
Other communities have accomplish
ed much along these lines and Lady
smith can also do so.
/ The season is here, where is the &C
tivity?

The tendency all over the northwest
to put the lid on the liquor traffic is
to be noted. The News takes it that
this doesn t mean that any crusade is
to prevail ii vl.4 .4atrre cf oppressive
measures. It rather means that bet
ter understanding is to prevail as to
what the saloons may and may not do.
And why ism this better than confusion?
The saloon man ought to prefer to know
his footing, ought to welcome such IN
derstanding.

Is IL a Public Road?

To the Editor of the Ocala Banner:
In asking for space in the columns
of your valuable paper please permit
me TO introduce a new and important
subject.
This, however. may be considered
by some void and without foundation,
but if viewed from the proper stand
point, believe it will be found worthy
of consideration.
The question suggests itself to my
mind: Must the mail road continue
in its present condition, or shall it
be declared public road and receive
the rights and privileges as such?
Can there be a more public road
than one which twice daily bears the
United States mail to its destination?
Shall the logs now across it continue
across it and cause travellers loss of
time in surrounding them, and which
may delay the arrival and departure
of the mails
And must the roots still be permit
ted to stay in the ruts and necessitate
an unnecessary wear and tear on We
hicles when they could so easily be
removed and in their places filled a
shovel full of earth, which would
make travel more comfortable?
The road in question is a part Of

Because of the large quantity of
