BENJAMIN'S ICE FACTORY TO
REOPEN

We enjoyed a very pleasant visit
Wednesday afternoon from Mr.. Her
man Benjamin, Mr. R. E. EgglestOn
and Mr.. w. H. Thomas, all of Allan
IA, whose mission in Ocala is 70 re-
establish the Florida Packing & Ice
Company, perhaps better known as
Benjamin's ice factory.
This is Ocala's' pioneer ice COM
pany, having been established up
wards Of twenty years ago. 1t also
established the first meat curing and
cold storage enterprise in the inter
Tor. At the time it drew much atten-
ton to this industry throughout the
state and was so successful that the
Star Ocala ham" promised to be a
permanent brand in the wholesale
market. From one cause or another
the business was allowed to slumber
but will now be resumed and prose
cuted with more vig0r than ever. It
will try TO not only recover lost
ground, but largely extend its opera
tions. As the cid firm has a great
many friends in the town and cOun-
ty this will not be very hard to &C
complish.
Mr.. Eggleston is the general man
.ager, secretary and treasurer of the
company under its new management.
Mr. Thomas is sales manager and Mr..
Harry Perry is engineer and superin-
tendent
The first named gentleman will only
spend a part of each month in Ocala,
but the two last named will reside
here permanently, and both have
families.
These gentlemen are connected
with the largest ice plant and meat
curing establishment in Georgia, and
thoroughly understand all the ins and
outs of the trade. We welcome them
TO our city and hope that their COM
ing will be mutually advantageous to
Ocala and to themselves.

joyed an excursion TO Silver Springs
Wednesday night, and a ride on the
Merry Widow as far as Delks'
Bluff, where the crowd disembarked
and enjoyed a lunch under the shad-
ows of the majestic trees.
Unfortunately they were denied the
beautiful moonlight, which has been
so remarkably brilliant for so many
nights past, but this pale lumlnary
showed its face occasionally as the
heeting clouds passed away from it,,
and the atmosphere was deliciously
cool and exhilaratiQg. There was no
rain. and as the Merry Widow" Gid
ed over the smooth waters occasion
al glimpses of the beauties which
have made the springs so famous
were observable.
Added to these were the charm Of
conversation, the melody of song and
the mirth and sparkle of wit, railery
and repartee, which made the eXcur-
sion one of surprising vivacity and
delight.
This excursion was given by the
young men in honor of Misses Edith
Mcclure and May Camp. Besides the
honorees, Misses Lucille STANDBY,
Ann Mixson, Annie Atkinson and
Messrs. Howard Walters, James Tay-
lor, Gilbert Younglove and Frank
Harris, Jr., formed the pleasant par
ty which was chaperoned by Mrs. Ar
thur Clark.

Mrs. Samuel r. Pyles was in OCala
yesterday, and was examining the
new machine for making butter. She
is one of the most up-tO-date and pro
gressive farmers in Marion and re-
minds the editor of this paper of the
women who took charge of the farms
in the south in 1861 and fed the ar
mics in the field, and kept things go
ing at home at the same time. There
was never such q farming period
known in the south before nor since.
It was four years of plenty. 1t look
ed like a miracle, but it was just be
cause such women as Mrs. Pyles is a
had charge of affairs.
We have never seen the time yet
when one woman was not worth rear
ly a whole army of men. 1t is sci
dom that they take hold of affairs,
but when they do things happen. Wo-
man is a mystery, but a most glorious
one. The world could not do without
them.

brought them around all right.
