THE "PRovlNcE OF ocALY."

One of the most graceful and flu
ent writer's that Florida induced to
Join her editorial and repotorial staff
was Col. E. G. Merrill, who was first
editor of the Herald and afterwards
Of the Standard, both of which were
printed in Jacksonville and welded
great influence in the history of the
state in those piping times.
At the time of the nomination of
Hon. Frank P. Fleming for governor,
Co. Merrill was selected to join the
campaign iteinnrary and report the
speeches of the distinguished orators
which he did in a manner that added
additional spurs to his literary fame.
lie gained a state reputation equal
to the national reputation achieved
by Mr.. James Creelman at a later
date when he accompanied Mr.. Bry-
an on his memorable campaign in
1896.
The letter he wrote about the in
sane asylum and the little incubator
baby he found there hangs upon us
like a precious memory even unto
this cay.
Col Merrill is writing "reminiscences
of those days for the Sunday Times
Union and they are one of the most
interesting features of that paper.
We reproduce what Colonel Merrill
says about the Province of Ocaly:"

Accident to Mr.. &. L. Moore.

On Monday night shortly after s
o'clock, Mr.. E. l.. Moore, of the
knight & Moore Lumber company,
at Silver Springs, happened to an ex-
ceedingly painful and what at first
was feared to be a very serious acct
dent.
He was driving home from Ocala
alone and just before reaching the
Maj ,on Farms, mething frightened
his horse, which ran away. So sud-
den was the dash that Mr.. Moore was
unable to gain control of the animal,
which dashed down the road at live
ly gait. Just in front of the runaway
team was the bus filled with the jolly
crowd of young people who are to be
attendants at the wedding of Mr.
Roess and Miss Anderson, who were
on their way to Silver Springs to
spend the evening. Just before reach
ing the bus Mr. Moore was thrown out
of the buggy, falling across a log.
The wheels of the buggy became lock
ed in the bus wheels and Mr.. Tom
Harris and the driver, who were near
est the horse reached out of the win
dow and caught the animal by the
head, thus stopping hi mand prevent
ing any further damage.
The bus was stopped and the Occu-
pants rushed to the rescuue of the
unfortunate gentleman anddid all they
could to relieve his sufferings. Some
of the party went to the Marion
Farms, where they secured water,
etc, and Mr.. Walter Taylor and Mr..
Arthur Cobb came to their assistance,
Mr.. Cobb hitched up wagon to take
Mr.. Moore back to town and DR..
Powers was sent for He was on his
way in from the Springs and reached
the scene Of the accident in time to
come back to town with Mr.. Moore.
He was carried to the Montezuma ho-
tel and after thorough examination
it was ascertained that no bones were
broken and there were no internal in
juries although he was badly cut and
bruised.
tuesday morning Mr.. Moore was
taken rome and is now resting very
comfortably.
The horse was stopped he
fore receiving any injuries. The har.
ness was completely demolished while
the buggy was only very slightly
broken.

tribute to the turf that wraps his
noble heart.
In the general assembly Of 1892 he

senator against Hon. Wilkerson Call
Zone of the truest and worthiest of
the state) and before the caucus for
many days deadlock stood fOrty-nine
for each. There were a large number
of populist members who had been
elected as democrats, most of whom
supported Mr.. Dunn without question.
Others demanded that he first resign
the presidency of The Ocala National
bank. To his lasting credit he posi-
lively refused &c trade his personal
liberty for the high office he sought
and was finally defeated by one vote.
| have never been frightened by the
boyle of populism; it's fundamental
principles embody the pure, spirit Of
Jeffersonian democracy, but the ma
tional banking system is here to
stay, and would TO God every nation

whole system would become wiser

Ocala was the home of that noblest
type of modest manhood-the clear

Dunn. Returning a barefooted boy
| from the ranks of Lee and Johnston,
to the ruined homes of old Marion,
he followed the pillow, a youthful Gin
cinnatus of the south, and worked his
honest way to wealth and honor. His
hand was open as day to melting
charity. No poor neighbours orchard
ever went to the hammer while he
lived. No widow was robbed of her
home by an execution sale, nor or
phans turned out on the world. AT
ter gaining wealth he spent it to
make his kind happier. He has bought
homes at sheriff's sales and had the
deeds made to the heart broken debt

built public monument n his honor
and her own. His ear has long been
