An Old Timer.

We had a most agreeable call Tues
day from Captain F. H. Lyle, Of Stan
ton. on Lake Weir.
The captain, in his younger days
and in the palmy days of the Farmers
Alliance, was called the game cock
of Marion county and the title was
we'll earned and well deserved. Though
little, like the late Joe Wheeler, he
is game and is one Of the blue hens
chickens.
Captain Lytle was born on the an
in the year in which this famous dem
ocrat was inaugurated president OF
the United States and although not
much Of q Jackson democrat, he says
he saw a great deal OF Jackson and
attended his funeral.
When Captain Lyle became a pop
ulist he was populist straight and
has been a populist ever since and be-
ing a populist he has never participant
ed in any other primary except a
populist one. He says he never be
Heved in riding TWO horses nor sitting
on two stools because the feat is dan
gerous and very few can perform the
act with any degree of cIeverness.
The captain says he is feeling the
weight Of years and is not the game
cock he once was. He renewed his
subscription to the Ocala Banner and
said that when he is gathered to his
farthers. he wants this paper TO be
among his household gods, as it has
thing like a period of thirty-one years.

THE HOLY CITY.
Oratorio at the Presbyterian Church
Beautifully Rendered.

AT the Presbyterian church Tuesday
night, the Holy City, an oratorio by
Alfred R. Gaul, was beautifully rem
dered by local talent. The proceeds Of
this entertainment are to be devoted
to the pipe organ fund of the Presby-
terrain church.
Mr.. Albert E. Gerig had charge of
the oratorio and was an excellent di-
rector and Miss NJ. B. wartman pre-
sided at the organ. playing all of the
accomplishments.
At the last moment Mrs. George r.
Mexican, who was to have sung the
leading soprano part, was too i'll to
sing, so Mrs. w. A. Collier, of Tus-
caloosa, Alabama, very kindly con-
sented to take her parts. Mrs. Collier
has an unusually lovely voice, and it
was great pleasure to the people of
Ocala to hear her. The other soprano
singers were Mrs. H. II. Lapham, Mrs.
]. E. Chace, Mrs. Clarence Camp, Mrs.
A. E. Gerig, Miss Sara Whitfield, Mrs.
T. H. Johnson, Mrs. G. c. Pasteur and
Miss Mary Anderson
The alto parts were taken
by Mrs. Robert G. Blake, Mrs.
L. B. Smith, Mrs. D. E. McIver,
Mrs. A. L. IzIar, Mrs. w. A. Coin and
the tenors were Messrs A. E. Gerig,
G.. w. Martin and r. d. Mathews.
Messrs. G. A. Nash, c. L. An
derson, Dozier Leitner, ]. J. Gerig,
D. S. Woodrow, and w. S. Pike sang
bass.
The tenor, contralto, soprano and
bass solos and the quartetts, trios and
duets we're all well sung and the
chorus work was exceptionally fine,
comprising as it did most of the best
singers in our city.
1t was a musical evening of very
great pleasure and the large audience
present were exceedingly pleased with
the rendition Of this beautiful ora
toriO.

Ensley, July 24.-(Special AS an evi-

of the Ensley district the people point to
the extentions that are being made and
that are now being planned by the South
ern Bell Telephone and Telegraph COM
pany.
Besides the extensions of the lines and
cables it is understood that plans are
now being drawn for handsome new ex-
change building to be erected soon on
Nineteenth street near Avenue f.
Plans for this building were drawn
some time ago, but it is said that some
of the specifications did not meet the
entire approval of the company and the
persons erecting the building and the
matter was delayed. 1t is said, however
now that the building will be erected
at once and that it will be commensurate
with the possible needs of the company
in this division for several years to come

completed from Birmingham to Ann sta

Ensley aerie of Eagles No. 1850 is getting
to be one of the strongest in the district
and is making a special effort just now
to more than double it's membership.
One of the progressive members of the
aerie has just offered a valuable trophy
as a prize to the members reporting the
largest number of new applications by
the last meeting in September and every
member of the organization is getting
busy. 1t is believed that the contest
will add more than $50 new members to
the order.
The Eagles have recently put in some
elegant new furnishings for their hall and
now have one of the most handsomely
appointed meeting places in the district.
