In going to Jacksonville Saturday,
the looks of the orange trees along
the route made us fell sad. In for
mer years this county furnished at
least three-ffths of all the oranges
grown in the state. From Oak Hurs;-
0 Citra there was a continuous
stretch of groves for a distance of five
niles or more and the trees were
healthy, the leaves glossy and the
fruit bright and without speck or
blemisb. Not so now. The white
fly" has done his work almost more
diaastrously than the freeze. and to
see the condition of the groves it
looks almost like loves labor lost &"
Is there nothing that can eradicate
this evil?

DEATH OF Mr.. WALSEMAN

Few deaths have occurred in our
city that We announce with more re-
greet than that of Mr. T. F. Walseman,
the Florida representative of the New
York Packer
Being of rugged, robust frame,
and posse ssing great physical
strength, the deceased overestimated
his ability to ward off disease, and
in his enthusiasm to build up the
Packer he faced all kinds of weather,
got wet, took cold, and as a result fe
yer set in, and unheeding it, he was
a very sick man before his condition
became known to DR.. Thompson, with
whom he was boarding. AS soon as
the doctor discovered it, however, he
began immediate treatment and sue
ceeded in getting his fever checked,
but on Friday night Mr.. Walseman
became somewhat Eighty and the doc
tor gave him a sedative to steady his
nerves; still he G 'ained of not
sleeping, and OR Sat might he
became still more deiirious, and the
medicines the doctor gave him failed
TO have the desired effect, and some
time during the night Mr. Walseman
dressed himself and went down into
the city, and acted so much like one
under the influence of an intOXicant
that the policemen (not knowing HIM
arrested him and placed him in the
city lookup. He was not in Jail but
a little more than an hour before the
10 hor inmates discovered that he was
dead.
II is a most regrettable affair, and
one of the saddest chapters that has
ever come under our notice.
Mr.. Walseman had just declared his
intention of becoming citizen of our
town and county, and was in a posi-
ton to do us great deal of good and
had the disposition to do so, and his
sudden taking off can only be regard
ed in the nature of public calamity.
He was in love with Ocala and our
people, and in all respects was a low
able and splendid man.
He had high ideals and was making
a great reputation for the paper he
was representing

There was a gentleman in Ocala
yesterday selling harness made in
jacksonville" He says that he super
intends the making of the harness
himself, and that il is all made by ap-
prentices. He will soon have twenty
boys at work. Under his supervision
they are doing fine, and as he does
not have to pay them the same wages
as demanded by experts, he is enabled
TO sell his output in competition with
harness made anywhere. Those who
examined his samples say that they
were equal to the best.

TO the Editor Ocala Banner:

To the Editor Ocala Banner:
Our vacation has been a delightful
one, the best feature saved for the
last, namely, the trip to Clearwater.
The day was idylic. Editor Converse
of the Press extended a cordial greet
ing. Through the courtesy of Mr.. Ed
Jeffords, formerly of Ocala, we en-
joyed a ride to Belleair, and it's inn
posing BelIeview hotel The glimpse
into its gardens Elysian will long be
remembered. After a sumptuous re-
past with Mrs. E. P. Annspaugh, who
proved an ideal hostess, We strOlied
TO the dock, where the bay n various
rainbow splendors stretched out be
fore us. There were fishermen cast
ing their nets into the sea, and YES
sells, from the great Tampa schooner
to the dimiLutive rowboat, in waiting.
Boarding a launch with a merry
crew, under the pilotship of Captain
Cone, we steered westward, anchor
ing at Hog Island, where We plunged
into the mighty deep, which, with a
thunderous roar, dashed into foamy
fragments at our feet.
There are signs of progress all
about over this picturesque city,
which is attractive at all seasons of
the year, and the visit there will
mark an epoch in our lives.
We have made frequent visits to
Wall Springs, a really poetic little
spot Rowing across the bay we land
