Mr.. CLYATT AND THE
NEW COURT HOUSE.

To the Editor Ocala Banner:
Some weeks ago, through your col
umns, ! submitted a criticism on the
new court house, and called attention
to what l considered a mistake in
having the office too small. 1t was
simply giving expression to murmurs
Of disapproval to be heard upon the
streets, and l thought it proper to
call the attention of the board to the
matter, so that if any changes could
was too late.
be made, il should be done before it
II has been called to my attention,
that on account of the criticism in
question, there has been exhibited
in certain localities, and by some Of
our best citizens, a spirit Of harsh
criticism toward the board OF coun-
ty commissioners and a lack of con-
fidence in our new court house, |
wish to counteract such feeling in
so far as possible and express regret
il caused it.
Expressly disclaiming that it was
the result of the criticism, l am glad
to say that the proposed vaults in
the offices of the tax collector and
county judge, have been dispensed
with, thus giving these Offices more
room and at the same time fire proof
by having vault doors for the en-
trance doors, and inside steel blinds.
Taking into consideration that a
cellar has been provided, where rec,
ords seldom used or referred to, can
be stored, and by installing modern
furnishings for the Offices, the room
will probably be ample for the re-
quirements of the county.
While l believe in the right of
criticism of public officials when
warranted, deem it the duty of all
good citizens to uphold and give NOR
al support to them in the faithful per-
forma~ % 0f nublic trust and very
fe, + " nreciate the many
tie. ,us dnG matters that
have confronted the BOARD in connec-
ton with the building of the new
court house, nor what obstacles they
have had to overcome.

The Book of Life.

The book of life is finished and the
tired eyes have closed after a long
and deep search for the hidden knowl-
edge and truths of this life.
The candle has been snuffed by the
breath Of the Divine Teacher, who
knoweth all, whose teachings lead the
sinner back to the path of rectitude
and whose lips are touched to his
brow in time of sorrow.
There is no perfume for the dead
from the flowers that bloom upon the
grave, yet the tears that are shed
on the roots bring forth a divine
beauty and tenderness to greet the
eyes of the loved ones, and soften
the hearts of those who have no
thoughts for the living.
All; the tears of sorrow are the
bitterest when we realize that the
face so cold and white is our own
loved one. yet many are prone to lay
the flowers Of kindness upon the
casket when we are dead.
Why not then show kindness to
the living, for the dead may never
know.
The smile that is passed to the
living, may lingcr On the lips of the
dying.
81 with the closing of the book Of
life the soul takes fight into the
land of the unknown and the gates
OF Paradise are thrown open while
the angels break forth in glorious
song of welcome to the weary one.

To the Editor Ocala Banner:
Noting the we'll nigh unspeakable
feeling towards the Atlantic Coast
Line railroaw wherever l go, on &C
count of it's absolute rotten condition
from a transportation standpoint, in
every and all departments, from the
rotten tie on the track to the rotten
promises of higher officials, as to bet
terment, which are not kept or meant
to be kept. Is it not matter of great
consolation now to note President
Emerson's report, showing a net in
come for the year, of nearly $5,O0O,-
10000, with dividends of nearly 3d.
100000 declared, thus leaving a sur
plus of about $2,O0O,00O.0O for the
year.
Courageous and faithful indeed
must be the employee, who can pub
licly defend the actions of this cor
poration in the face of the glaring
fact, that not in one single instance,
have they kept a solitary promise
made in this city, for betterment in
traffic, passenger or depot facilities.
They have alienated from the friends
and customers of their road, every
feeling, but that of bitterness and con-
tempt for the road; and that the feel
ing is reciprocated by the manage
Iment, is well evidenced by comparing
their dividends and surplus with the
physical condition of the road and the
intolerable service rendered in travel
and traffic.
1t is inconceivable that business
men can tolerate such conditions.
That business men after promises of
standing up for their rights and meet
ing the situation as men, when the
time comes for action and united eff
fort, that some smooth emissary Of
this corporation can in an hour or
two, gently whisper the roaring lion

Will Leave Ocala.

Mr.. Maurice Strauss and family
will in about a week give up the resi-
dence they are occupying on Ockla-
waha avenue and into which Mr..
Richard Hall and family will move
for the present.
Mr.. and Mrs. Strauss and little
daughter will board at the Ocala
House until the holidays when they
will go to Cincinnati, O., to make that
city their future home. Mr.. Strauss
will go into the manufacturing bust
ness in Cincinnati and his Ocala
friends wish him every success in
his new business venture.
Mr.. Strauss still has some business
interests in this city and expects to
visit Ocala at intervals during the
remainder of his life, which will be
very pleasant news to his friends
here.

A Fetching Ad.

An advertisement for a girl to do
work in New Zealand dairy farm
concludes with the statement that
there are four good looking sons in
the family. Who can doubt that
this bait will secure many a bite or
that hundreds Of replies will be sent
in to that advertisement? Most girls
dislike dairy work, but who can resist
membership in family where she is
sure to be waited on attended to
and courted by four fine fellows in
rivalry. OF course it will not be
long before the new girl will own a
fourth interest in the new dairy as
well as the rest of the farm.-The

In THE HANDS OF The PHlLLESTIkES-
WORSE THAN In THE "LAND OF Uz!"
Mr. George Macay Of The Firm Of McIve and Mcay Writes Scorchg
The Atlantic CoasL Railway

lOf today into the timid lamb of the
morrow; by probable trifiing advan-
tages over his fellow business men,
which cannot possibly benefit a bust
| ness man one hundredth part of what
his manly determination and corpor-
alton with his fellow business men,
for the general betterment of all, by
securing better facilities in all de-
partments; and some semblance of
decent regard for the patrons rights.
If the business men of Ocala would
unite in one determined effort to Sc
cure justice at the hands Of this
grasping corporation; the results
would be increased and better bust
ness fer all, a better town, a more
progressive and united citizenship,
which means success in all undetrak-
ings, even to the road, whose very
name today and wherever mentioned
| is drag net for all that is bitter,
| in those whose fortune it is to pat
TOniZe it.
The curse of Ocala today is the lack
of unity amongst its business men in
all matters pertaining to general prog
ress and the prosperity of our city.
! | suggest that the board of trade make
one more effort to rouse the dor
mant manhood OF our business men in
this section; and see if we can get
the semblance of justice from this IN
scrupulous corporation, whose enor-
nous dividends are wrung from the
services, in many instances, of i'll paid
and consequently incompetent en-
iployees, and, therefore, thrice wrung
from the patrons of the road, for the
most outrageous, mismanaged, i'm
poverished transportation system to-
day known, in this or any other sec
ton of our country.
! That the management of the road
have with studied contempt ignored
every effort and plea of their patrons,
for justice, cannot be truthfully de-
MED and all to the end that tbs enor-

nous profit should be built up. That
this road has some faithful efficient
and Obliging officials cannot be de-
MED; and to their personalities alone,
can the road lay claim to one tOler-
ant thought or action from the pat
rOns; and to these gentlemen, l eX-
tend my most sincere sympathy in
faithfully holding down the most hu-
initiating position on earth unless it
be that of a guard in a Turkish ha-
rem.
The fact that in every department
and branch of business l am interest
ed in, the same eternal cry, can
not find or get anything or get to any
place over the A.lC. L. on time" may
cause temerity sufficient to express
publicly my feelings, but Mr. Editor,
Ininety-nine per cent. if not one hun
dred of their patrons that I have met
and talked with, have the same kind
feelings and respect towards this
road that have. Yet how inconceiv-
able their timidity and forbearance
when the necessary time for action is
placed before them to secure justice.
If ever there was a time, it is now,
to take action to secure our rights
through the necessary legislation or
the courts. l am reliably informed
legally, that the dangerous condition
of its road bed, the outrageous unre-
liable service rendered and the gen
eral condition of it's rolling stock and
power; the unsanitary condition in
instances, of the passenger coaches
and the continuous disregard of
! schedule time in carrying the mail, is
sufficient under able and proper legal
advice to endanger its charter Be
| that as it may, | am confident that
| by united effort and firm determine
ton of the long suffering patrons of
this road, something better than
false plausible promises can be Sc
cured.
