THE MAKERS OF AMERIcA-THE
FLORIDA EDITION

The first two volues of "The Makers
of America-The Florida Edition. /"
have been issued from the publishing
house of A. B. Caldwell of Atlanta.
The books are handsomely bound and
contain 400 pages each.
Besides the biographical sketches Of
the Makers of Florida" those prom
inent in business and official and POI
litical life, these volumes contain
beautiful illustrated articles on the
orange, the pomelo, or grapefruit, and
the guava, onion and smaller indus
tries. Mr.. S. H. GaitskiIl of McIn-
tosh contributes an interesting arti-
Gle on the "Live Stock Interests Of
Florida" Prof Sellards, an article
on "The Geology of Florida" Mr..
T. Frederick Davis, u. S. Weather Bu-
reau Observer, Jacksonville, on The
Cold Waves of the Florida Peninsu-
lar" and the fish and lumber indus
tries are exhaustively written up by
Mr.. P. K. Yonge of Pensacola, and
Mr.. ]. Y. Detwiler, honorary fish COM
missioner. These articles are hand
somely illustrated with colored half
tones.
Many of the biographical sketches
are accompanied with rich steel en-
cravings, which give a tone and ex-
cellence to the work possessed by no
similar publication. Capt. Johnston
and Col. Choate, who had charge of
this part of the undertaking, have per-
formed their labors most admirably.
Ocala is represented in the first vol
ume with sketch of Hon. r. A. Bur
ford and a steel engraving. 1t is one
of the handsomest pictures in the
volume. In the second volume are bi.
ographical sketches of Hon. E. T. Hell
venston of this city, Hon. E. L. wart-
mann of Citra and DR.. d. A. Smith of
Anthony. The latter is accompanied
with an engraving, which is life-like.
The publishers return acknowledge
ments to Mrs. Mary Bogie of this city
for valuable aid rendered.
The two volumes are very credita-
bic productions, and will be especial
ly valuable to historians and the edi-
tors of newspapers, as we'll as the av-
erage person who is interested in
those who have participated in the
making" of the state.

The county seat election, which has
been the leading issue in Sumter
county for the past five or six months,
came to a close last Friday. Webster
won out in the primary, but for some
reason the other places would not sub
nit TO the primary choice and at the
gen raj election Webster, Coleman and
Sumterville were all candidates for
the coveted honor The vote when
polled stood Webster, $50; Coleman,
$50; SumtervilIe, 124. The law re.
quires that a removal requires a ma
jority of all the votes cast, and as no
town received a majority vote the
county site will remain at Sumterville,
although largely in the minority when
the votes were counted. Now it be-

THE MUTAsILITY OF THINGS

AS has already been announced in
these columns Mr.. Adam L. Eichelber.
ger died in Atlanta Thursday and his
body was laid to rest at IL o'clock
Sunday morning in the old cemetery.
When the editor of this paper came
to Ocala, Immediately after the civil
war, Mr.. Eichelberger was one of the
leading merchants of the city. With
the exception of Mr.. E. w. Agnew,
who is now living on Lake Weir, Mr..
Eichelberger is the last of the mer-
chants who were in business at that
era.
Not only are there no merchants
left, but there are no professional men
nor mechanics. There is no young
man who was living here then that is
living here now. And the Ocala Ban
ner has survived all other business oc-
equations.
Every public building, every store
building, every church edifice, and, in
deed, every building of every kind
has been either remodeled or torn
down.
So far as the writer can now recall,
Mrs. Wallace, Mrs, Gary and Mrs.
Haisley are the only grown persons
then who are yet living. Mrs. Water
man, Mr.. and Mrs. Jeffords, and Mrs.
vogt are yet living, but at that time
they were living some distance in the
country.
Judge Bullock, Mr.. Weathers and
men of that age, were living here
then, but they were children.
So of those natives and to the man.

tor of this paper is now "the oldest

PECULIAR FLORIDA NAMES

Sopchoppy, in Wakulla, and Zif, in
Bradford, were long held up to ridi-
cule on account Of their names. But
Sopchoppy is getting ambitious, has
newspaper, and bids fair to become
another Kalamazoo. Zif went out of
business years ago. But if the places
mentioned are poked fun at no longer,
there are some others which would
not suffer from change of name, as,
for instance, Sawdust, in Gadsden;
Ojus, in Dade;, and Vestibule, in st.
Johns. Though every village presum-
ably dreams of becoming a metropo-
lis sometime, some of them have de-
cidedly unpropitious names, like
Wildwood, in Sumter. While some,
with true American hilariousness,
give their villages such names as Clio
ry, in Gadsden; Balm, in Hillsbor.
ough, and Electra, in Marion, others
are moderate and truthful. Examples
of these are Sleepy Hollow, in Gads-
den; Needhelp, in Lee, and Massacre,
in Sumter A pleasant contrast to the
latter are Gay, in Washington, Dinner
Island, in st. Johns; Picnic, in Hills
