MORE STREET LIGHTS.

Following a meeting of Council
at Fort Lee on Wednesday, Sept.
70, at which the matter of lights
in this end of the borough was
again brought up, the Public Ser
vice Corporation finally bestirred
itself and the very next day
placed additional electric light
poles in the side streets that have
so long remained dark. Report
was made at the meeting by Coun-
Gilman Carson that although the
additional nine lights granted by
Council at previous meeting had
been asked for several weeks ago
there was no evidence that any
of them were being put in. The
borough clerk, Mr.. Sullivan, was
instructed by Mayor HcAvoy to
write to the Public Service Cor
poration requesting an expIana
ton for the delay. The following
day postholes were dug in Wash
ington Avenue, Bluff road and
Dearborn road, and the poles duly
installed. The lights themselves
are not yet installed, to be sure,
but the community has hopes.
1t has hopes that the lights will
not only be quickly put in but
that the unsightly poles will be
painted some kind of a green or a
gray that will cause them to blend
with the scenery and not look so
conspicuous

A Valuable Discovery.

DR.. j. g. Baskin was in the city
Tuesday and together with sample
leaves and twigs from an orange tree
explained the discovery made by him
of new insecticide which will prob
ably thoroughly destroy rust and
scale and in a measure the white fly
which in the past few years has caus-
ed such serious loss to our orange
growers.
DR.. Baskin believes that his dis
ccvery will do the work well and eco
nomically and without injury to the
trees. Certainly the samples he ex-
hibited in Ocala will lead one to
agree with him in his idea.
Dr. Baskin and Judge Titcomb,
who is also interested in the new dis
covery, will continue their expert
ments, later patenting the process
and formula and placing it upon the
market.

What Editor Mccreary Says.

Governor Broward claims that be,
cause the legislature has granted
more lands to the railroads than the
state owned, the grants are uncon,
stitutional and void. The governor
night just as well claim that because
he gave his note for fifty thousand
dollars, when he had only forty thous-
and dollars, we could not recover
any portion of his Indebtedness to
us. The land grants to the railroads
were given in consideration of the
performance of certain work, and if
the railroads performed their part of
the contract the state can certainly
be compelled to perform its part, so
far as it lies in its power.-Qainesville

Romantic Sunday Wedding.

A romantic wedding occurred in
Jacksonville Sunday afternoon, the
contracting parties being A. G. Nc
Call, of New Smyrna, and Miss Lille
E. Burke, of Wauchula.
Mr.. Mccall reached Jacksonville
Saturday night and registered at the
Aragon. Sunday morning he was up
bright and early and left for the I'm
ion station where he met Miss Burke,
who came from a visit to friends at
Spartanburg, S. c.
They remained in the hotel parlor
until nearly three o'clock, when Mr..
Mccall inquired about the departure
of the Florida East Coast train for
New Smyrna.
The young lady incidentally re-
marked that they would not have
time, but they hurried from the hotel,
returning in about half an hour. To
a friend in the hotel Mr.. Mccall told
his secret and the young couple
busted themselves in getting ready to
leave the city.
Just where the marriage ceremony
was performed and by what minister,
could not be learned.-Times-U Union.
Mr.. Mccall taught in the ocala high
school one term. And Miss Burke is

THE GARY RESIDENCE
BURNED TO THE GROUND

About fifteen minutes past 6 o'clock
Tuesday night the fire bell rang
out suddenly on the silent air for
the first time in many months. Ev-
erybody was startled at the sound and
rushed to the doors and windows and
at once red glow was seen in the
western portion of the city.
1t wasn't many minutes before the
news had spread that Mrs. Fannie
R. Gary's home was on fire and al
most the entire population rushed to
the scene of the confagration. The
fire was not discovered until it had
made such Roadway that it was i'm
possible to impede the progress of
the seething flames and nothing could
appease the angry god of fire until
the entire home was in ruins.
Mrs. Gary was away from home
and some one passing by saw that the
house was on fire, sent in the alarm
and went for Mrs. Gary with the
awful news.
1t seems that a lamp had been
left BURNING in one of the upstairs
rooms and it is supposed that it
must have exploded, and thus setting
the house on fire and being an old
residence and the weather dry it was
in a very short while an entire mass
of flames.
Mr.. Thomas r. Gary was at the
time attending to the cows and was
detained longer than usual and when
he got back to the house the fire had
gained considerable Roadway.
The fire company and many others
worked faithfully and succeeded in
saving the piano, books, and a good
deal of the downstairs furniture, but
nothing upstairs was saved.
The Gary residence was the oldest
and pne of the most historic in the city.
1t was located just on the western
boundary of the city on a hill and
was built before the civil war by Mrs.
Susan Pyles. who died many years
ago. 1t was bought from her by the
late Col. S. NJ. G. Gary, the husband
Of Mrs Fannie r. Gary and all dur
ing the civil war and for many years
thereafter was considered the hand
soonest home in the city. Many inn
oortant events both politically and of !
! business nature has transpired |
within it's walls and it has been the
scene Of many charming social af-
airs during the early history of the
,ity and in recent years and it was
With feelings not unmixed with sor-
'ow that the old timers witnessed its
Tuesday night. Mrs. Gary
eels the loss of her home very great
y and she has the sympathy of her
riends in the loss she has sustained.
The house was fifty five years old |
and there was no insurance.
