THE OCALA NATIONAL BANKS
NEW BUILDING

The Ocala National Bank of this
city has been advertising for bids for
some time past for the construction of
its proposed new building, the plans
for which were drawn some time since
by Mr.. w. B. Camp, one of Jackson
ville's famous architects. Mr. Camp is
particularly famed for planning bank
buildings, having had thirty-one out of
fifty of his plans accepted within the
past several years.
Today is the day that the contract
for the construction of the bank build
ing, it's vault and fixtures is to be Civ
en- out. There are large number
of Representatives of different con-
tracing firms here in response to the
advertisement, and they are making
the lobby and piazzas of the Ocala
House present most animated scene.
Among those who are here whose
names we could secure are the follow
ing:
For constructing the building-Seat-
on & Seaton of Jacksonville, Mr.. J. P.
Wormack of Columbus, Ca, Mr.. J. w.
Stanford of Atlanta, Mr.. C. o. Hill of
Toledo, Ohio, Mr.. H. NJ. Boutelle of
Atlanta, Mr.. J. H. Roper of Atlanta,
Messrs Williams and Jenkins of this
city, Mr.. H. NJ Wade of Charlotte, N.
C.
For furnishing the fixtures-Cruger
Manufacturing Company of Atlanta,
Regar, Beckwith Supply Company of
Tampa, Mr.. A. w. Felkenbury of At
lanta and Mr.. l. Perry Green of At
lanta.
For building the vault, safe, ETC.
Mr.. John S. Franz of Jacksonville, a
representative of the York Safe and
Lock Company of Pennsylvania, a rep
resentative of the Safe and Lock COM
pany of Baltimore and representa-
tive from Salem, n. G.
Mr.. Camp, the architect OF the hand
some bank building, is also in the
city.
The bids of all these various gentle
men and firms are in the hands of the
bank officials, who inspected them
last night, and they will make their
decisions and probably give out their
contracts today.

WANT SUNDAY TRAIN TO CRYS-
TAI RIVER

A petition, which is being quite gen
orally signed, is now in circulation,
asking the A. G. L. railroad people to
put on Sunday train from Ocala to
Crystal River and return. Such a
train would no doubt prove one of
considerable profit to the railroad
people, and also one that would be
much appreciated by Ocalians, who
want to go to the seashore to spend
the day.
Mr.. ]. B. Willis, proprietor of the
Inn at Crystal River, was in Ocala
yesterday, and says if the railroad
people will put this train on he will
see to it that splendid boat service
is put on the river from that place to
the gulf.
Such an arrangement would be fine
for Ocalians, who want to spend the
day on the gulf and breathe it's salt
air for a few hours after hard weeks
work in the good old summer time"
and we trust that it will be success
full.

SEVERAL FAMILIES MOVING

Mr.. N. B. Borden and family are
moving from the house on Watula
street, owned by Rev. w. H. Coleman
which they have been living in for
about year, to the Jefferson Bell res
idence, on the northeastern outskirts
of the city.
Mr.. Purdy and family, who have
been living in Mrs McDowelps cot
tage on Fort King avenue ever since
they came to Ocala to live, will occu-
by the house just vacated by Mr.. Dor.
den and family, which is just behind
the Mcdowell cottage.
Mrs. Mcdowell expects very shortly
to begin work on remodeling her cot

A MURDERoUs ASSAULT

Thursday morning Mr.. Joseph Pot
ter, who has charge of the building of
DR.. F. E. Mechanics residence in Pal
metto Park, had occasion to admonish
Jim Jackson, colored carpenter, to
be more careful in his work. Jackson
took offense at his remarks, and when
Mr.. Potter turned his back on him he
picked up two by four and struck
him on the head, making bad wound.
AS soon as he made his attack he ran
away, and though the officers have
been looking for him with warrant
for assault, have not yet located him.
Mr.. Potter was brought to town, and
DR.. McClane took five stitches in his
scalp. He is now doing fairly well,
considering the nature of the wound.
Only for the fact that glancing blow
was struck he would probably have
had his skull broken, and he is now
congratulating himself that the hurt
was not any worse.

NEW BAPTIST CHURCH

Some years ago the Baptists of this
city vacated their old church building
ON the lot where the new Jail is now
being erected, and built the fine brick
structure which the congregation is
now occupying 1t was thought that
the present generation wouTd enter
tain no thought of ever occupying any
other edifice, but already movement
is on foot to build new church and
a new parsonage on a lot donated for
the purpose by Mrs. Fannie r. Gary,
who has for many years been one of
the faithful and firm supports of the
Baptist church of Ocala. Like the
benefactions of Mr. Andrew Carnegie,
in order to prevent slothfulness and
and to stimulate an
activity and enthusiasm on the part of
others, there are conditions attached
to Mrs. Gary's donation, and in order
to avail itself of the donation active
measures are on foot on the part of
the congregation to comply with her
requirements, and it is safe to say
that this denomination, before very
long time, will be worshipping in
twenty thousand dollar structure and
occupying a modern parsonage.

Mr.. B. Goldman had a cablegram
Thursday announcing the death in
Brest Lit, Russia, of his grandfather,

years old and was quite a student and

made his home with his grandfather

his death.

Rendlnu Metal strlps

Many metal workers probably have
devised their own methods for bend.
ing metal strips edgewise, but | have
not found anything better myself than
a scheme suggested by B. F. Albert in
the Scientific American for Jan 7,
1911. 1t is difficult to explain without
a drawing, but simple enough in its
workings. Take block of metal
about two inches thick and round the
top to a semicircle, or any shape to
which your strips are to be bent.
About two inches from the top drill
a hole through the block so that a
bolt can be adjusted Then get a
grooved roller with the groove deep
CROUCH to run on the strip so the
fanges will cover It to about three
fourths of it's width.
When the heavy block is clamped In
a wise with the rounded top upper
most, fulcrum a lever to the block and
adjust the roller on the lever so that
it will just escape the block when the
lever is moved back and forth. Throw
the lever completely over, insert the
strip between the shaping block and
the roller edgewise, clamp the end
fast to the block AMI pull the lever
back. If the groove of the roller is cut
so that the strip f,s snugly into it the
iron win have m chance tc twist or
wark. but viii bend smoothly and
evenly.

HEAD SOLID MASS OF HUMOR

81 think the Cuticura Remedies are
the best remedies for eczema l have
ever heard of. My mother had a child
who had a rash on its head when it
was real young. Doctor called it baby
rash. He gave us medicine, but it
did no good In a few days the head
was a solid mass; a running sore 1t
was awful, the child cried continually.
We had to hold him and watch him
to keep him from scratching the
sore. His suffering WAS dreadful. At
last we remembered Cuticura Rene
dies. We got dollar bottle of Cuti-
cura Resolvent, a box of Cuticura
Ointment, and bar of Cuticura Soap.
We gave the Resolvent as directed,
washed the head with the Cuticura
Soap, and applied the Cuticura ONT
ment. We had not used half before
the child's head was clear and free
from eczema, and 1t has never come
back again. His head was healthy
and he had beautiful head of hair
I think the Cuticura Ointment very
good for the hair. 1t makes the hair
grow and prevents falling hair"
(Signed) Mrs. Francis Lund Plain
City, Utah, Sept. 10, 1910 Send to the
Potter Drug & Chem. Corp, Boston,

treatment of skin and scalp troubles.
