ITEMS FROM suMMERFIELD
Special Cor. ocala Banner:

Gals pretend 10 refuSe the good mon
ey which has already been offered to
their station agent for passage to
Ocala? 1t is fact that since the
new Jacksonville-Tampa limited trains
were started last Sunday, more than
500 has been lost to the railroad
company in four days time and still
every day people living out of town
have come in to take the 11:O6 to
Ocala and were compelled to return
to their homes much disappointed.
These two new trains pass Summer
field at convenient time, making it
possible for our towns people to go to
Ocala, transact the business they have
and return on the train which reaches
here at 4:03 p. m. OF course the rail-
road people will put up all kinds of
excuses about wear and tear and time
lost, but that won't go. Summerfield
as well as Ocala wants these trains to
stop at Summerfield regularly or on
flag, and the railroad officials, as well
as the stockholders, will never regret
it as the number of dollars paid for
fares will more than over-balance the
wear and tear and loss of time
