Wants Another Train From ocala.
M. E. Robinson, the well known tray
cling man, has secured many sigma
lures to a petition which he has been
circulating, addressed to General Pas.
senger Agent T. C. White, of the At
lantic Coast Line.
u e.ition asks that q new train
be put On by the Coast Line, running
from Oeala and connecting daily with
the Fort Myers train at Lakeland, thus
allowing persons from Ocala, Juliette,
Dunnellon and other points to come
to Tampa and spend four hours, re-
turning the same afternoon.
1T. Robinson has one petition sign
ed +. travelling men, another by BUSH
ness men, naval stores and phosphate

of the road generally. He thinks the
Coast Line will grant the petition
when the extent of the demand for It
is realized.-Tampa Tribune.

sunny Jlm's" Petition.
(By L. ]. Brumby.)

In the Banner of Thursday morning
appeared clipping from the Tampa
Tribune relative to a petition, now be-
ing widely circulated. asking the At
lantic Coast Line railway to inaugu-
rate a new passenger schedule be-
tween this city and Tampa.
If understand the new proposition
the new train asked for will leave
Gala about a. m. and return about
8 p. m, giving all passengers a stay
of four hours in Tampa. Remarka-
BILE as 1t seems it Is claimed this pc
tition has received signatures from
the merchants Of ocala, Dunnellon
and other towns in this territory and
along the proposed route.
can conceive of no one thing that
could be so frought with injury to the
retail trade, not only Of Ocala but of
every town south OF this city until the
corporate limits of Tampa are reach
ed.
Certainly every merchant, and, in
diyidually every property owner, In
ocala would be damaged. Every Gus
toner of Mr.. M. e. Robinson and his
associates among the travelling men
who are not active in circulating this
petition will be personally injured.
In the sixteen years I have resided
in Ocala have never known a rail-
road schedule to be put In operation
that did not have q more or less in
furious effect upon our retail trade.
Not so many years ago we controll-
ed the trade Of Citra, Orange Lake,
Mcintosh and points in the northern
end Of our county. The inaugura-
ton of a schedule that enables the
people Of Citra, Oak Lawn, Orange
Lake, Mcintosh and other points to
spend several hours in Gainesville.
and get their breakfast and supper
at home has lost Ocala much Of that
trade.
A railroad schedule can hurt or
benefit town. Are we going blind?
Let us do something to bring people
to Ocala and not to take them away.
The petition above referred to is
. serious blow to Ocala and IL struck
below the belt.

The Lake Weir Excursion.

from Fridays Daily.
Yesterday was the end Of the half
holiday season and great many took
advantage Of the cheap excursion to
Lake Weir and visited that lovely
and attractive spot. 1t were easier
to mention those who did not go rather
than those who did. There were one
hundred and forty-one whole tickets
and forty-one half tickets sold and
perhaps some went who foilod tn pur-
chase tickets.
Before leaving the band rendered
several airs which were much ap-
preciated and especially by the pass
engers on the Dunnellon short and
the south bound A. C. L. train. They
did not know that we had such fine
band in Ocala. The band certainly
makes fine music and Ocala has 49,
right to feel proud of it.
The trip to Lake Weir was thoroug-
ly enjoyed. Nearly everyone was in
the water almost as soon as the train
stopped. ~
The bathing cannot be excelled any
where. After enjoying the bathing
the balance of the time was taken up
in boating and strolling along the
beach.
The band kept things lively with ap-
propriate airs and altogether the day
was an exceptionally delightful one.
Unfortunately heavy downpour of
rain began about five o'clock and
never let up until Ocala was rceahed.

Knight were proposed for member
ship and were duly elected.
Emmett Robinson, r. r. Carroll and
w. ]. Chambers were appointed
committee to devise means for in
creasing the attendance. @
Mr.. G. c. Crom asked asked that a
committee be appointed to meet with
Mr.. L. ]. Brumby, the engineer, and
himself to devise the best methods of
naming and numbering the streets
and prepare an ordinance and submit
the same to the city council for its
approval and have same to become a
law.
1t seems that the houses have
been imperfectly numbered. Mr.. L. ].

and Truck Grower, is making arrange
ments to print directory for the city,
and says that it will be useless unless
the streets and houses are properly
numbered. Mr.. Brumby has recently

Mr.. C. L. Bittinger, the secretary,
said that he had been requested to

fair and urged that the board of |.
trade give the same its endorsements
1t was stated by several of the mem
bers that the reason so little interest
is manifested in the state fair by the
citizens Of this county who were SO
enthusiastic on the subject a year
ago Is because Of the length of time
the state fair is to be In session. Il
seems that the fair will hold it's doors
open this year for period of two
weeks and the exhibitors of live stock
and machinery say that this viii
make it entirely too expensive. and
there is general disposition not to
have our county represented there
this year.
It is understood that the board of
county commissioners informally dis
used this matter at it's last meeting
and decided not to make an appro-
priation. Use
The board of trade however, referr-
ed this matter to the committee on

the leading citizens Of the county and
make report to the board at it's

ONE DOLLAR A YEAR
WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN.

In sc when Bill came forth
To slug the money bully,
The nation gasped from south I,
north:
Good gracious amt he woody?
But since we've killed the Silver Cow
And raised the Golden Heifer.
The Cyclone from Nebraska" now
Is like an April zephyr.
'Twixt William Jen-
Nings Bryan then
And William Jennings now
There is a diff
Ference, as If
The world had changed some how.
For latterly he's. seen some life.
And ceased to travel steerage.
He's taken food with silver knife
From plates of British peerage;
He tucked beneath his massive chin
Fine napkins ,hemmed and crested.
And gone to teas and luncheons in
An evening coat low vested.
'Twixt William wild
And William mild
The gulf is nearly weird;
To put 1t frank,
The Argent plank
Is scarcely to be feared
He rather thinks the mad muckrake
Is low and vulgar CANNON;
He fears too much reform will make
THE Commoror" to common.
And II you have the hardihood
To mention Socialism"
Bill whispers: Hush" and touches
And reads his catechism.
When Bill was keen
For Sweet Sixteen"
Her hand he archly prayed;
But now he tries those
Goo goo eyes
Upon another maid.
For Williams dreams of power have
brought
Some hankerings appalling,
And half way round the world he
thought
He heard his party calling:
Come back before the Safe Insane
Has made another bungle;
Come. Prophet. on a special train,
To lead US from the jungle!"
Such words of cheer
On Williams ear
Like words Of promise gilsten;
The echo comes
Of distant drums
And Bill sits up to listen.
