The Court House and All the Princi-

At high noon Saturday a fire start
ed at Sumterville, the county site of
Sumter county, and owing to the pre-
vailing high winds it soon got beyond
control of the bucket brigade" and
was not stopped in its progress until
all the buildings in its path were
swept away.
The court house and seven or eight
of the principal stores and also the
Sumterville Times building were sac
rificed to the angry flames
The buildings being principally Of
pitch pine lumber the flames made
rapid Roadway, and those who wit
messed it said that il was certainly
a hot fire.
We could not ascertain whether the
court house records were destroyed or
not, but if they were burned will put
the county to very great expense in
getting them restored.

THE BLIZZARD

The blizzard man hit us hard, very
hard, and held US within his icy grip
for two whole days, not permitting US
to get breath of warm air from any
direction.
The blow he gave us was cruel. das-
tardly, cowardly-because he slipped
up on us from behind, like a thief In
the night, and took US unawares.
All winter long, except for one
light frost, we had been having lovely
spring weather, and felt justified In
singing songs about our unparalleled
climate, and printed whole columns of
prose in praise Of it. Indeed, we be-
gan to defy it, when the blizzard man
whooped upon us with bigger stick
than Roosevelt ever welded.
He took the crimps out of us en-
tirely and brought us down to the
level of earth once more.
We are willing to admit that we
are not the whole thing.
But there are two sides to even the
worst of stories, and we are glad there
is no exception to this one.
We have industriously isterviewed
all the farmers we were able tn see
in town yesterday, and were buoved
up with the accumulated statements
that very lutte, if any, damage was
done.
Mr.. S. S. Savage. who has a grove
on Lake Harris. came from there ves-
terday, and says that beans growing
in the open were not killed. and thar
he carefully examined the orange
trees, and is of the positive opinion
that the bloom buds are still alive
Mr.. Howell. one of the biggest grow
ers of Anthony. says that jointed oats
are evidently killed, but fortunately
very little oats are that old; old cab
base has suffered some. but nearly all
the young cabbage escaped unburt
The orange tree g. f course. g -rs-.ed
unhurt, but ne blooms. if an. and
he bloom h''dS. did not fare So well
Some of the lettuce is killed. and
perhaps beets and some other garden
-ruck, but farmers are optimistic
enough to say that we are worse scar
I'd than hurt.
Inc orange bloom buds that are de-
itroyed will lessen the yield and per
laps improve the Price. ard in the
md the freeze may prove blessing
n disguise.

MEETING OF THE BOARD OF
TRADE

The Ocala board of trade held an
important meeting at its rooms in the
city hall building Friday afternoon at
) O'Clock.
The Taliaferro turpentine bill was
| discussed and its general features ex-
planned. Mr.. H. L. Anderson had the
bin with him and as he was familiar
with it he recited its various provis-
ions. He said that country inspec-
ton" and other Objectionable fea-
lures had been eliminated and as the
bill now stood it met the almost unan-
imoGs approval of the turpentine Op-
orators Of this section.
: resolution was adopted endorsing
the bin and urging our senators and
representatives III congress to vote
for its adoption and use all their eff
forts 10 this end. Mr.. Anderson said
that the very life of the industry de-
pended upon the enactment of this
bill into law.
Mr.. Martin ]. Roess also presented
a petition asking that the board of
trade adopt a resolution asking our
representatives in congress to vote
for the retention of the tariff on lum-
Der.
Mr.. Anderson made a speech in ia
vOr of the adoption of a resolution of
this sort. as he said that it meant a
great deal to those engaged in the
lumber business and the owners of,
timber lands.
Mr.. Harris explained his position
on this question. reiterating what he
had said editOrially in several past is
sues of the Banner.
After some other remarks it was de-
cided to draw up a series OF resOlu-
tons endorsing the petition and for
ward same to our congressman.
Mr.. Asher Frank, manager of the
Marion Realty Company, stated that
while he was temporarily residing in
Newport News, Va, the board of COM
merce of that city started several |
manufacturing industries of such |
things that could be mainly used by |
the population and especially by the |
large numbers engaged in the ship |
yards. which are located there. Each |
member took $50 worth of the stock |
and as one industry was found to pay
another was started. and now half a
dozen or SO have been started. and
the stockholders had more than made
their money back on the houses they
erected for the factory hands to oc-
cupy. He thought the same thing
could be done in Ocala. He was APP
Dlauded and said that he would he en-
and was asked to work for
he establishment of one that he
houeht would bring i'm the quickest
md most certain returns.
Re promised TO do so.
Il Yves incidentally mentioned that
he Ocala Furniture factory, although
[ was forced to the wall by several
# the shareholders not paying the
mounts they had pledged, yet it was ,
that a furniture factory
Ould be made to pay, and it is hop
d that Mr.. Franks hands will be sus- |
aimed and that something will come
f his efforts.

For a number OF years before his

Mr. r. H. Scott of Fairfield was in
Ocala Saturday. He is one of our
successful watermelon growers and
has his lands in readiness to plant
two hundred acres. He was to have
begun planting on Monday, but said
that the cold weather would interfere
with his arrangements, as the melon
seed is very quick to rot if it remains
too long in the ground before germi-
nation. and the cold earth would have
this effect upon the seed. Mr.. Scott
has been growing melons for the past
twenty years, and is thoroughly ia
miliar with their cultivation. This
year he says he intends pruning the
vines very closely and grow none but
big melons. He thinks he will get
finer results, as all of his melons will
be marketable and command better
prices.
