The awakening"
happening

Hon. David L. Yulee was one of
Florida's first United States Senators
after she was admitted into the fed
eral union. He was regarded by many
and is still so regarded as the greatest
statesman that ever represented Flor
ida in that distinguished body. He
was likewise the greatest factor in
Florida's material development.
Long before any railway was built
across the continent to the Pacific
ocean, he conceived the idea of build
ing a railway across the state of Flor
ida. a canal across the Isthmus of
Tehuantepec and reaching the Pacific
ocean by this route. Had not the war
interviewed this enterprise would have
been accomplished and the CONNER
ciaI business of Florida would have
long since been what we now expect
it 10 be when Mr. F'lagler's railroad
is completed to Key West and the
Panama canal is constructed.
Mr.. Yulee married Miss Wickliffe,
daughter Of one of our early Post
master generals. Mr. Yulee had one
son, Mr.. c. Wickliffe Yulee who is
well known to all older Floridians.
1t was the fathers ambition that his
son would follow in his foot steps and
devote his life to politics and states
manship but he seems not to have had
any taste in this direction. His
friends and the friends of his father,
however, are glad to know that he has
turned his talents into the realms of
literature and is likely to acquire fame
therein.
Mr.. Yulee has just published a novel
of Washington life, entitled, 1.-The
Awakening" Besides being interest
ing, as all generally love stories are,
it shows much erudition and that it's
author is familiar with the languages
and all phases of life.
We read the book with much pleas
ure and pronounce The Awakening"
most Criditable production.

Horseback Riding in Ocala.

Horseback riding is again growing
popular all over the state. Some years
ago it was the most general amuse-
ment in the country but for the past
few years it has been relegated to the
background by new amusements and
pleasures.
1t is a most delightful, exhilerating
and graceful exercise and we are glad
to note that it is again growing into
popular favor. There are quite a num-
Der of ladies in Ocala who are very
clever and charming equestrians and
early morning and afternoon horse
back riding parties are now almost
daily events and no more enjoyable
sport can be imagined.
