to enjoy the concert given by the
Metropolitan Band, under the leader
ship of Mr.. A. E. Gerig. An excellent

Friday evening concerts in the
court house yard are a regular fea.

the Metropolitan Band furnishes an
attraction. The program last week

those who were there.

THE REMNANT OF THE SEMI
NOLES

The Last of An Aboriginal and Brave
Race
A few hundred Indians exist today
in a trackless waste near the tip OF
the Florida peninsular They are
ipure- blooded Seminoles, and they rep
resent all that is left in Florida of a
proud and once powerful nation. Lit
tie by little they were driven south
ward, until they reached the limit of
their retreat Believing that they
had at last found country which the
pale-face would be unable to pene-
trate they were happy in their seclu-
sion, asking nothing more than tn be
left alone. But the march of the white
man kept steadily onward. The
shrek of the iron horse and the awe
some snort of the steam dredge may
already be heard at the edge of their
domain, to sound the requiem of their
fondest hopes.
1t is pathetic tableau, this tragedy
being enacted slowly but surely right
before us here in the Florida Ever
glades, for unless some adequate pro-
vision be made for these red men
their fate will soon be sealed. To
send them into the severe climate of
the west would be but a final knife
thrust after a series of prosecutions
extending back to the time when the
white man first placed his foot upon
the soil of Florida. To leave them as
they are, without setting apart for
them an ample reservation would
mean their decay, and therefore their
final determination. A small pre-
serve is held in trust for them, but
seventy-five per cent. of the land is
under water, and the Indians refuse
to occupy it. Were they given a re-
ServatiOn of sufficient extent, whose
boundary shall forever be guaranteed
and protected, these Seminoles would
continue to maintain the purity of
their race, increase, and eventually
prove valuable ally to this country.
Assured of a rigid protection and ex-
empt from unjust encroachment, they
would cease to look upon the white
man as an enemy, and thea the work
of civilization could be carried on
among them to a satisfactory conclu-
sion. All honor is due that little band
of conscientious and unselfish men
and women, who, anticipating the in
evitable, have made a noble fight for
the rights of these Seminoles.
American magnanimity is famous
the world over Upon the field of ev-
cry disaster we are found working in
the spirit of Christianity. Long ago,
in the name of justice, we guaranteed
protection to the natives of the small
countries in Central and South Amer
lea. We have even set aside vast
areas for the perpetuation of bird and
beast (the fact that these preserves
are usually barren wastes offer mol
excuse for argument). Yet why do
we so carelessly close our eyes Upon
this struggling remnant of a race
brought to the verge of extinction by !
prosecutions on the part of our own
people "-Thomas Frederick Davis, in |

DON'T NEED A CONVENTION

Some Of our brethren of the press
seem to favor the idea Of a convention
for the purpose of getting down to
democratic principles again If they
wish to get a clear treatise on the
subject of modern and practical de-
mocracy, they can read Governor Gil
christ's speech before Tammany Hall
on the Fourth of July. He comes as
near being the Simon-pure article as
any man we have had in the govern
or's chair in 10 these many years.

BIG IMPROVEMENTS AT THE
GUARANTEE

The Guarantee Clothing and Shoe
Company, always on the lookout for
something to increase the popularity
of the establishment, have now added
another storeroom to their place. A
large archway now connects the re-
tail store with the adjoining store
room, which is to be used for a tailor
shop.
Mr.. Malever, the proprietor, in
forms us that he will in few days
have several hundred pieces of fine
woollen goods from which his custom
ers may select their fall clothing, and
have them made in Ocala."
AS a further accommodation for
his customers Mr.. Malever has made
arrangements with the Commercial
Pressing Club by which he keeps the
clothes of his patrons cleaned and
pressed free of charge.
When the furnishings of the new
department have been COM
pleted it will be one of the handsom-
est establishments of the kind ever
opened in Ocala.

FULL BLOWN

A dear little rosebud white, grew out
in the summer weather;
The petals were locked up tight in a
close embrace together.
They were pressed so close and look
ed so tight
You never would guess that the dews
of night,
Or the sweet sunlight could ever get
through,
The petals to burst or the lock undo.
But early one morn arose, and what
do you think | discerned?
There, wet with the dews of the night,
my bud to a rose had turned!
The rain and the dew and the golden
sun,
The petals had burst and the lock I'M
done!
How they accomplished it no one
knows,
But my bud had turned to a beauti-
full rose!
A dear little baby form was given into
my keeping;

tight and quietly sleeping.
They were pressed so close and lock
ed so tight,
You never would guess that the sweet
sunlight
OF thought and soul could ever get
through,
The powers to burst and the lock
undo.
But through life's sweet sunshine, its
rain and heat and cold,
mysteries which | can't eX-
plain, saw my bud unfold.
| cannot tell how the blossoms start, !
From loving buds in the human heart; |
| cannot tell how the powers find
Their sweet awakening in the mind.
But love has many keys, as buds have
many leaves,
And love unlocks the petals and won
drous work achieves.
And when her work is done, | see
The loveliest sight on earth to me;
The sweetest flower that lives or
grows II

ADVERTISING PAYS

There are no birds in last years nests,
No dollar bills in last years vests;
And 'tisn't wise to hope that "scads"
Will still flow in from last years ads
One step won't take you very far,
You've got to keep on walking.
One word won't tell folks all you are,
You've got to keep on talking.
One inch won't make you very tall,
You've got to keep on growing.
One little ad won't do it all,
You've got to keep 'em going.

Should have an ad, and we'll displayed.
