A LARGE CASTING

Even our own people hardly realize
what a complete foundry and ma
chine shop we have in our midst. The
Ocala Iron Works have for the past
year or more been steadily making
improvements in their plant, until it
is now one of the most complete and
up-to-date in Florida They have dis
carded steam as a motive power and
now use electricity throughout the va
rious departments for driving the ma
chinery. A representative of the
Ocala Banner was shown among 9th
err fine foundry products a single cast
ing weighing nearly four thousand
pounds, and the foundry people say
that this is nothing unusual either.

ance Sunday being larger than it ever
has been up to date.

the recipients of stars for having ev-
cry member of the class present, this

year. On this Sunday there were
also two new scholars enrolled and

counted on for service, for their mot
to is: Not for ourselves alone, but
also for others"
