THE WooDMEN AT MARTEL

Last Tuesday night was a memoir
able one for the members of the
Martel camp WOOdmen of the World,
and also for about twenty members
from the Ocala camp, who had been
invited out to participate in the in
stallatiOn of the newly elected OFF,
GERS and a banquet.
The Ocala delegation left here
in teams and automobiles at about
$50, and upon arrival at Martel Con-
sui Commander P. A. Ausley called
the meeting to order and after all had
been seated he requested Mr.. n. l.
Gottlieb of Ocala to take charge Of
the installation, which he did in his
usual impressive manner. He was
assisted by Grand Marshal Dame, who
assembled the newly elected officers
around the big stump, where they re-
ceived the oath of Office. Those install
ed were as follows: P. A. AUsley, G.
c.: L. A. Tucker, A. l.; w. r. o. Veal,
physician; J. L. B. Hudgens, banker;
c. r. Veal, clerk; ]. H. Seckinger, es-

given up that they had excelled all
previous efforts on this occasion, and
as the Ocala choppers" have a repu-

say that full justice was done to the
good things before them.
After a short social gathering the
Ocala delegation started on their
homeward trip, full of praise and
chicken pillau.

Thomas 3. Snyder

Mr.. Thomas 3. Snyder, who is a
member OF the new board Of alder
men, was elected from the second
ward. He is a native of Pittsburg,
Pa, and was born in the patriotic
month Of July, and the same year that
the Ocala Banner was founded, viz:
1866. So Mr.. Snyder is 43 years of
age. He is a son of the late Rev. E.
p. Snyder, who during the later years
of his life was the beloved pastor Of
Trinity Methodist Episcopal church,
Jacksonville, which has since been re
placed by the Snyder Memorial
church. This church was largely the
gift Of his son, who is known as the
Pig Iron King" of Pittsburg.
About the time his brother entered
into the iron business our Mr.. Snyder
came to Florida and embarked in the
orange business. He went to Okla

have been every whit as independent
as his brother.
After the catastrophe that leveled
so many of our groves MIR. Snyder
pulled up stakes and moved to Jack
sonville, and a few years later came
TO Ocala and accepted a position with
the department store of H. B. Mas

into business for himself and opened
his store, which he still runs and
which he christened The Haberdash-

Mr.. Snyder is pleasant, affable and

OcALA'S NEW MAYOR

The above is a striking picture Of
Ocala's new mayor. IN the language
Of Shakespeare he is a native here
and to the manner borr."
Mr.. JOHN D. Robertson was born
reer the town Of LeeshUrg nearly for
ty-t-o y-ars ago. He is q product o.
III soil. Re vas born OF q farm. and
still claims farming as his occupation.
Re owns 4 farm at Whitney. whore
his mother resides. He only received
such education as the public schools
at that early period in their history
afforded. which was quite limited.
Mr. Robertson soon outgrew his en-
vironments and added orange growing
to his occupation of farming, and at
the time Of the big freeze he was in
most comfortable circumstances. That
catastrophe left him fiat. He says
that when be came to OcGla twelve
years ago he scarcely had money
enough to buy meal But he is a
man Of quick perceptions and wonder
fur resources. and it was not long be-
fore he seized upon the opportunities
that he saw lying dormant around him
He speCUlated in oranges until he
could get money to speculate in lands
and when the turpentine boom struck
this section Of the state it found him
in possession Of some of the choicest
tracts in the county. From that time
on he has had comparatively easy sail
ing At the time of the drop in prices
ne was regarded as one Of our heavi-
est turpentine operators.
It is said that the world loves a
lover" and next to a lover the world
loves a doer. Mr.. Robertson is justly
