IN MEMORIAM
Mrs. Rudolph Clayburn Myers

Mrs. Rudolph Clayburn Myers pass
ed away Monday. January 18th. Dear
little friend, how we shall miss her.
Her sweet Christian character, with
it's patient suffering and faithful resig-
nation to the Masters will has been to
us a talisman leading us to higher and
better thoughts.
For months she has been a shut-in
and yet her faith has never wavered
ever feeling that Gods will be done
To those who ministered to her COM
fort she tried to show her apprecia-
; ton, and love, and oh, how many
there were who tried to make her
suffering lighter, her life brighter by
little acts of love. We cannot wish
that she had been spared tC US longer
for we feel that she is happier at
home with God. Her sweet smile in
death speaks of her perfect rest there
We shall miss her; yes. more than
words can tell, and for the bereaved
loved one we feel a loving sympathy
Faithful to the last, he now feels his
loss and is crushed with grief. God
grant to him comfort and when the
final trumpet shall sound may he be
united with his loved one in heaven.
One Who Loved Her.

MAYOR NAsH's
FIRST MESSAGE
He Makes Some Pertinent Suggestions
for the Council to Consider

Ocala, Fla, Jan. IA. 1908.
To the Honorable City Council Of the
City Of Ocala:
GentIemen-In assuming the office Of
mayor Of Ocala. l wish to make a few
recommendations to your body which
trust will meet with your approval.
/ most earnestly urge that you at
once proceed in accordance with the
requirements Of the city ordinances to
elect police officers such as the city
needs; also a cow man or pound Of
ficer.
AS you know there has been much
complaint directed against some Of the
policemen now serving. on account Of
the manner in which arrests are made
and the very poor judgment used.
l believe with most of the business
men of Ocala, that the methods adopt
ed by the present policemen are re-
sponsible for keeping many people
away from our city entirely, and in
juring business to a very great ex
tent. / earnestly urge that the salary
Of the police be raised. and that you
proceed to elect men of judgment who
will be peace officers and who will
keep the peace as intended. and not
run the department with only the aim
Of creating a large revenue for the
city to the detriment of it's business
interests. l believe that the COW man
or the pound officer should attend to
that duty and not be hunting for some
one whom he can arrest while stock
is running at large depredating the
grounds and gardens of our citizens.
believe in progress and believe that
the improvements inaugurated will
prove of great and lasting benefit. and
believe in their continuance as fast
as we are able, but call a halt now"
until times are easier and the city pays
for the improvements now being made.
1 have been a resident of Ocala for
the last twenty-six years. through
the years Of deprecated scrip, and I
respectfully urge that we stay on a
strictly cash basis and pay as we go,
making improvements as our means
will allow and avoid the old regime Of
scrip payment.
1 am not in sympathy with the
wholesale changing of grades that has
been instituted on many Of our streets,
thereby greatly damaging property,
leaving one lot several feet above
street level, and another in hole per-
haps as deep. Most Of the prettiest
towns in our country conform to
the natural lay of the land as nearly
as possible and do not attempt to
place everything on a level.
| A few days ago a tree undermined
by some of the city mining operations
fell across a house, injuring the in
mates and laying the city liable to
suits for damages: other houses in
town. as 1 understand. are in danger
from like happenings. 1 trust you will
give these few suggestions careful
consideration and believe me with
your heart and soul. for the upbuild-
ing Of our beautiful city.
| Respectfully.
! G. A. Nash, Mayor.
