BURGLARIES AT ClTRA

Mr.. J. c. Greiner and Hon. z. l..
Wartmann of Citra were business Wis
TORS to Ocala Thursday. They came
down in Mr.. Wartmanns auto, and say
that with the exception of one or two
mile stretches the road between Citra
and Ocala is very good. Mr.. Greiner
reports several robberies in and
around Citra. The store of Mr.. ". c..
Rice was entered one or two nights
ago and goods, to the amount of fifty
dollars, perhaps, were stolen The
burglars were not at all apprehensive
Of arrest. They struck matches in all
directions and eventually lighted a
candle and quietly ate crackers and a
box of sardines in the middle of the
store room.
Burglars also entered the store of
Miss Tillman and got away with
small lot of miscellaneous articles.
A negro lad, about 20 years old, son
OF Terrell Jones, broke into the resi-
dence of Mr.. William Teaott, and was
arrested and brought to Ocala and is
held for the grand jury.
Another negro lad, the son of Will
liam Lee, was arrested under a war
rant issued from Lee county, and is in
the Ocala Jail waiting for the sheriff
of that county or his deputy to come
for him.
With the exception of her robber-
les, which has caused more or less ex-
element, the town is quiet.

Mr.. ]. ]. Nelson was in from Belle
view Friday. He says that the wealth
er has been exceedingly capricious,
and that the rains have been partial
that they have not fallen upon all sec
lions just alike. That some farmers
have succeeded in making fine crops
while others, with just as much indus
try, have not been so fortunate. Be-
sides, just as the melons were at their
best, the markets broke and left the
shippers with the cream of the crop
on their hands.

TEL in ATLANTA

DR.. Amos w. Braselton, who is
building a factory and ice plant in
this city, is at the head of a syndi-
cate that will soon erect a big hotel
in Atlanta. DR.. Braselton is hus-
ting, enterprising promoter, and
Ocala is in luck in having him among
her business men.
The Atlanta Journal of June Goth
says:
Following the announcement We'd
nesday of a new hotel on North For
syth street, it became known Thurs
day that DR.. Amos w. Braselton and

mir. Frost, through A. s. Adams, of
the firm of B. NJ Grant & Co., has
leased this property to DR.. Braselton

Their leases will expire on Sep
TENDER LIST, next.
'Dr. Braselton will then build a
fivt-story structure containing 100 no
tel rooms, for which, it is understood,
he has already found lessees.

tween the Aragon hotel and Baker

DAVID S. WILLIAMS HAS
A CLOSE CALL

One of the buildings at the fair
grounds was blown from its moorings
by the wind storm of Tuesday. Pres
ident Robinson, Secretary Williams
and one or two carpenters went out
there yesterday with block and tackle
for the purpose of restoring the build
ing to it's foundations. In doing so the
block and tackle got loose in some
way and fell, striking Judge Williams
on the head, producing some severe
bruises, which could easily have been
fatal if the force of the fall had not
been miraculously diverted in some
way. Judge Williams friends are
congratulating him on his narrow es-
cape.

A SPLENDID SUGGESTION

Mr.. Louis Savarese, the ever wide
awake and hustling secretary of the
Ocala board of trade, suggests . our
citizens touring the state in their au-
tomobiles always carry an "Ocala'
pennant
AS all Ocalans are always proud OF
the fact that this is their home It is
safe to say that they will follow Mr..
Savarese's suggestion and not be
caught outside the county limits vim
out displaying "Ocala" colors On thar
cars.

Friday afternoon the ladies of the
Baptist sewing circle met at the home
Of Mrs. Van Hood, where they packed
a magnificent box to be sent to the
Baptist orphanage at Arcadia. The
box is valued at over one hundred dol
lars, and besides the box $125 in cash
will also be sent to the orphanage-
500 from the Baptist sewing circle
and the box and $25 from the church
as whole. This offering is certainly
generous one, and the Baptists of
our city are certainly worthy of all
praise for this handsome gift. After
the box was packed on Friday Mrs
Hood served her guests with sand
wiches and iced tea and cake and
grape juice.
