viii Revive AtheIetics.
Ial to the Ocala Banner:

Special to the Ocala Banner:
Boston, Mass, July 30.-The Bos-
ton Athletic Association will hold a
special meeting this afternoon for the
purpose OF considering steps to revive
the interest in active athletics among
the members of the association. When
the organization was formed, the
members were mostly young men, act
i've and proficient in the various track
and field sports. One by one the ath-
letes of the club began to retire from
active work, however, and finally the
club was ne longer represented in va
rious athletic contests in the east. An
effort will be made to attract young
and active members, who will be able
and willing to compete in athletic
contests, for the honor of the club.

Some Early History of Florida Pros
perity.


Mr.. Edwin St. George Rogers was
reviewing the scenes of his boyhood at
Diego last week. Mr.. Rogers, who is
legal light of prominence of Indian
apolis, Ind, is a grandson of the late
Capt. jerks, who owned some 1000
acres of rich hammock land between
the Guiana and North river.
Speaking of Capt. jerks recalls
many interesting incidents of the pom
derous old sea captain (his weight
was between 400 and 500 pounds.)
Capt. jerks owned a large number of
negroes, and his annual production of
sugar and syrup ran up into the hun
dreds of barrels. 1t is recited that on
the occasion of raid by the Indians,
capt. jerks went into cellar beneath
his dwelling and called out to his ne
groes, who were with the Indians on
the outside of the house to tell the
red devils that he was sitting on a
key of powder, and he invited them to
come in and they could all take a
passage to HI together. The In
dians, who were friendly with the ne
groes, upon being told that the old
captain meant exactly what he said,
moved off to less dangerous local
ity.
In this same raid the Indians paid
Mr.. Fatio (Mr. L. Dunham's grand
father) a visit and killed some 300
head of sheep. Mr. Fatio and family
escaped assassination by fleeing by
boat down Pablo creek and into the
st. Johns river.
Cattle were numbered by thousands
at Diego in those early days, and
horses were raised by the hundreds.
There were also large fiocks of sheep.
Numbers of records of the output of
crops were made that would well
rival the scientific handling of the soil
of the present day. Twenty barrels of
sugar per acre and rs barrels of corn
per acre were no uncommon yield.
Oranges were grown by the hundreds
of acres, Mr.. Vernancio Sanchez
alone having a hundred acre-grove
But the great freeze of 1885 proved
as disastrous to the groves of that
day as did the freeze of 1S94-95 to
the citrus family.
When one recalls what this section
once was and that it is the same
piece of terra firma today, no stretch
of the imagination is needed to pic
ture a bright future for Diego. st

Mr.. Edwin st. George Rogers is a
native of Ocala and spent his boy
hood days in this city. He is son
of the late Colonel Samuel ST. George

BACK TO OLD AUNT MARYs.'

Now we read in song and story of the
reminiscent glory of the woods and
fields of boyhood, as in fancy we go
back,
Back in dreams to old Aunt Mary's,
back to bees and huckleberries,
back to apples, plums, and cherries.
back to haymow, field, and stack;
And the poet of this season for some
psychologist reason feels the con-
scious guilt of treason if he fails to
take his pen
And achieve his rhythmic duty of ex-
tolling woodland beauty and his
verses always end with "Could I
but go back again."
Some would go back to the wildwood,
in the innocence of childhood; ;"
some are headed for the orchard
where the apples in the sur
Swing and ripen. richly, redly, while
the bird songs in medley Hll the
air with mellow music and the days
pass one by one;
Some would go back with fine fancies,
to Aunt Mollie's, James or Nancy's
-(all our poets seem to have a
stock of aunts that never failD
And when evening shades are falling
and the whippoorwill is calling
(every poet has whippoorwill!)-
you know now goes the tale,
But forgive these fancy-reyels, and
forgive us dreaming devcls, who,
from seventh-story windows may
look out upon the street
Where men sweat and steam and
swelter, where the world seems he'll
ter-skelter, if we dream of creeks
and hollows where the grass is
cool and sweet;
If we dream that we are going where
the summer. flowers are blowing
and where husbandnlen are now
ing in the clover led and white.
If we write a verse whose fancies
carry us hack to Aunt Nancy's, for
it comforts us and gives us half an
hour Of delight,

Caught and Shipped a Manatee.

A manatee weighing about 1000
pounds, was shipped from here by
freight yesterday afternoon, consign-
ed to the Aquarium at New York. The
manatee was caught on the west
coast Of Florida south of Fort Myers.
by A. w. Dimmock and son. AS it is
against the laws Of the state to catch
a manatee in these waters, Mr.. Dim
mock obtained a permit from the
county commissioners of DeSoto
county. This manatee was caught by
means of a large net, and put on a
lighter and towed here. Mr.. Dimmock
and his son have been in FLORIDA for
some time, and are getting material

that newspaper to the quick and un-
necessary use of his club by the aver
age policeman. He gives incidents
where policemen have used their
clubs most brutally and unnecessa-
rily. He says that in New York city
the penal code does not warrant such
a procedure" and that when a police
man uses his billy except in riots or
under circumstances of the direst
peril he should be Instantly relieved
from duty and discharged from ser
vice. This writer says that of all men
police officers and sheriffs and their
deputies should be men of discretion
and moderation. That no man with a
reputation for recklessness and in
discretion should be allowed to hold
an Office whose duties require him to
preserve the peace.
The observation of this writer will
apply to every city and town in the
United States. Our officers, whose
duty it is to preserve the peace, are
entirely too quick to use their clubs
and guns and maltreat the prisoners
in their power, and the officer who is
guilty of doing so, should be instantly
removed from Office In a free govern
ment the rights of the citizen should
be the jewel that is above price.
