team had on its lineup only two
Gainesville boys, the remaining sew

Some years ago a strictly amateur
team, composed OF home toys, went
to Gainesville to play an amateur team
in that town, but found they were
up against professional pitcher, who
won the game for Gainesville. When
the locals o@ered this condition as
an excuse. they were laughed at. and

A SPLENDID GIFT

DR.. Charles r. Tydings, the popular
druggist, has certainly put the peO-
pie of Ocala and Marion county under
many obligations to him. He has,
with the permission of the county
commissioners, placed a number of
seats on the courthouse lawn. so that
now a weary pedestrian can sit down
and take a rest in comfort without go
ing into some store OF public Office
to find a seat.
He has set a splendid example, and
it is to be hoped that other philan-
thropic and public spirited citizens
will follow his lead. Who'll be next?
