The Ocala banner. (Ocala, Marion County, Fla.) 1883-194?, 1908-12-11

The Ocala Banner, in a glow of
gratitude TO the great American tur-
key for it's noble service to the great
American stomach Thursday, says:
THE turkey is the national bird and
will eventually take the place Of the
eagle on our coins" Never, never,
never. until we are sunk in emasculat-
ing epicurianism and have become a
nation of pot-bellied gourmets put
ting stomach above soul and lower
ing all our ideals TO the level of our
livers. We respect the turkey for his
utility and we love him dressed and
stuffed at the head of the table, but
there is not one heroic suggestion in
him, nothing TO inspire our patriotism,
to nerve our arms in the deadly con-
fiict; nothing to make our blood flow
quicker and our hearts beat faster
with martial impulse when the tOcsin
of war sounds or the Fourth Of July
orator gushes. The American eagle,
the proud bird of freedom, whom
none can inveigle to putting salt on
his beautiful tall can do all that,
and when he screams the turkeys take
to the woods like the base caitiffs that
they are when there's any fighting to
be dOne.-PensacOla Journal.
Well, why should our cry forever be
for war. Why should we always
court a deadly conflict Why should
we not place the symbol of peace on
a pinnacle and pay our genufections
to it. Read Ben Franklin's Grafton on
the noble virtues Of the great Ameri-
can bird. 1t is not bad reading. The
turkey is a very proud bird, and one
is worth a score of eagles or more.
The Ocala banner. (Ocala, Marion County, Fla.) 1883-194?, 1908-12-11

We beg to announce that from now
until january 1st, we guarantee to sell our
merchandise cheaper than any other merchant
is doing in the city of Ocala, regardless OF
Special Sale or not.
The Ocala banner. (Ocala, Marion County, Fla.) 1883-194?, 1908-12-11

Whereas, we have been in the city TOR
the past ten years, and expect to remain here
for some time to come. The above is no
exaggeration, and were it not SO, we would
hardly jeapordize Our commercial standing by
making false statements.

To further prove any assertions that we
will or have made, we will let you be the
judge as to quality and value.

We want every one who wants to buy
to call and get our prices, and lesl
sure you will look no further.

OF 1920 remains unpaid.
Argument having failed to effect a
settlement, Assistant Corporation
Counsel Barlow and Deputy Treasurer
Siebert made a foray Wednesday aft
ernoon, armed with papers to seize
and levy upon any loose personal
property they might find.
They were hesitating between n
couple of pianos and a lot OF theater
chairs when Manager Gaukler arrived
and displayed papers showing that the
furniture did not belong TO the amuse-
ment company, but was leased.
As there was nothing else movable
in sight that seemed proper for SELF
ure. the two officials departed, turned
their eyes toward the cashiers office.
Well seize the gate receipts said
Sfebert.
"All right take EN- and I'll close
IN the park now instead OF on Sat
urday," was the reply.
The cash drawer did not display any
great wealth and the invading army
withdrew in good order.
