The city council held a special ses-
sion this afternoon to consider the
proposition to put down the brick ly-
ing in front of the Baptist church. The
brick must be removed and that as
soon as the council acts. Under the
ordinance the city of Ocala cannot
incur a debt exceeding $4,000. This
has not only been done, but $4,000 on
top of it. If this is the law, the coun-
ell cannot incur further obligation.
This debt was incurred by the city
authorizing eleven blocks of brick
Pavement laid, the trouble arising from
the fact that some Of the property
owners failed to pay their assessments
along the blocks paved, and the city
will have to step in the breach.

the G. 0. p. But to get back to Dewey.
He was F. S. railroad agent before it
became a part of the A. c.. L. system,
ran an eating house at that place and
supplied the passengers their meals
as the trains stopped there for that
purpose. After this service closed he
returned to Ocala and for several
years he ran the present Elk Cafe as
q railroad eating house and had the
reputation of serving the best meals
on the road. He then got the Miami
fever, started the telephone system in
that magic town, later became chief
telegraph operator, at which he Is ex-
pert Then embarked in development
operations, overleaped himself, met
with reverses, but as the saying is
you can't keep a laboring man down
it he Is good one and Dewey has al

itics In Duval Is too expensive and he
quietly withdrew.
Pierson Moody was the next Ocala

several weeks ago his friends in the
Sth ward insisted on making him DEM
ocratic committeeman. but he blush
