NEW BUSINESS BLOCK

Plans are now being made for new
business building to be erected on the
corner of North Magnolia and North
Second streets, by Mr.. Baxter earn,
the groceryman.
1t will be handsome two-story, brick
structure, and will cover the whole of
the splendid corner lot secured by Mr..
earn about a year ago. 1t will face
the government building on the north,
and will be modern in every sense OF
the word.
Mr.. earns grocery business has
grown SO rapidly for the past year OF
more that he is compelled to have
more room than his present quarters
in the Gary-Anderson building furnish
hence his determination to build.
Since the construction of the post
office building in the fourth ward, bus.
mess men are looking toward loca-
tion in this section, as it seems to be
the logical retail district of the city.

BASEBALL IN ocALA

The Ocala fans are casting about
looking for some man suitable to take
charge of a "jam up" baseball club
the coming summer. Last year Ocala
was without such an organization, and
our citizens often wished for good
game OF baseball to vary the monot-
ony of the long summer days.
Several fans in speaking of probable
timber for a good manager, hit upon
just the man for the position, and he
is none other than the hustling Louis
F. Sayarese, ocala representative of
the Southern States Life Insurance
Company, and secretary of the Ocala
board of trade. No doubt he would be
just the man to carry to success an
aggregation of ball tossers for Oeala
this season if he can be prevailed
upon to accept the commission.
A good baseball team is a splendid
travelling advertisement for a town,
and it is to be hoped that 0cala will
line up during the coming season
with an, inVincible bunch.

be one of the finest ever listened to.
She illustrated her paper and made it
more interesting by showing her col

THE ELks' SMOKER

One of the most enjoyable occa-

this city was the smoker which was
given in the club rooms Tuesday
night The program was elaborated

tions of those who had the same in
charge.
Members were present from Belle
view, Dunnellon, Holder. Inverness,
Center Hill and other places, and moth.
ing was left undone, and the evening
in all respects was a merry one. The
program printed in these columns yes

occasion was decided success.

Dunnellon had disastrous fire on
Monday night. Thirty-six cottages,
owned by Mr.. d. q. Watkins, and oc-

The occupants saved most of their
personal effects. There was no insur-
ance on the property. and the build
ings were estimated to be worth
$500. A fire, though hurtful to indi-
viduals, is sometimes helpful to a
town or city, and we hope that his
tory will repeat itself in the case of
our sister city.
