AN OLD LANDMARK REMOVED

The old livery stable between the
Ocala Banner building and the United
States postofice building is in the pro-
cess of demolition.
This building was erected by
Messrs. Charles T. Gibson and Francis
D. Poser not very many years after
the civil war, and if it had the power
of speech could tell a great many sto-
ries relating to the growth of our city.
After the time of Messrs. Gibson
and Poser it was managed by Gener-
al Lancaster, and still later by Capt.
E. B. Richardson, Capt. Johnson, Mr..
STANDBY and until recently by Mr..
D. w. Tompkins.
1t was a remarkable building. In its
later years it has been very much di-
lapidated. The roof was nearly of
and all the windows were gone, yet it
successfully passed through three
fires. Every building but it was razed
to the ground, but it stood as unyield-
ing as the rocks of Gibraltar.
Packed from floor to ceiling with
loose hay and hay sticking out of ev-
cry window, crack and crevice, yet for
years we ran off the weekly and daily
issues of the Banner with a steam en-
CINE, minus a spark arrester, almost
under its very caves and the sparks
got mixed up with the hay every day,
but the building led a charmed life,
and no salamander ever displayed
such resisting power over fire. 1t alb
solutely refused to be incinerated.
The building is being torn down now
so that the growing business section
of the city which it occupied can keep
step to the onward march of progress
which is now the Watchword of Ocala.
We understand that Mr.. Walter Ray,
its present owner, is going to erect a
very handsome building in it's stead.

done to it by the hungry picnickers,

there were still many basketfuls left.
Although the day was one of the
hottest ones on record all had a good
time, and many returned home so sun
burned it was almost impossible to
tell their natural color
The picnic train returned to Ocala
