Mr.. E. G. Mcleod Of Kendrick was
in Ocala Friday, and in a curbstone
talk said that he favored the legisla-
ture at its approaching session issuing
fifty million dollars for the building
of three lines of hard road from one end
Of the state to the other: One hugging
the gulf shore. one the center of the
state, and the other the Atlantic shore,
beginning at Escambia bay and run
ming on down south Of the Everglades.
That the building of these roads
would enhance the value of real estate
more than the building of a similar
mileage of railroads or canals, and
would be at the service of every citi-
zen Of the state. There were mum
Der in the crowd. all members of va
rious political beliefs and factional af-
filiations, but to man they all agreed
with the gentleman from Kendrick
Let's build those roads and build them

manufacturing plants. We cannot
stop at one, two or three stores, one,
two or three banks, one, two or three
lawyers, and so on to the end of the
chapter. but we must multiply one on
top of another, which will lead to new

larger population.
We extend a cordial welcome to the
new bank and express the hope that

Mr. W. w. Wood, who bought the
Barber Walker place, perhaps better
known as the S. st. Geo. Rogers place,
near Ocala, was in the city Saturday,
and says that he is delighted with
Florida, and is particularly pleased
with his purchase. On his place is a
famous spring in wet weather, and
cave in dry weather This cave has a
local history, which created intense
excitement some twenty or thirty
years ago. DR.. ZeButt, who, besides
being physician, was a scientist and
somewhat of an explorer, was passing
the spring, or cave, one day, and de-
Iclared that he saw wild man. and
gave a thrilling description of him.
Soon the town was all agog. Captur-
ing and exploring parties, fully arm
ed and equipped with lanterns and
torches, were hastily gotten together,
and went in pursuit of him. Day and
night the search was kept up. Stories
of the appearance of the wild man, /"
first at this place and then at that,
were reported, until a general fear
pervaded many sections of the coun-
ty. Interesting and thrilling accounts
were printed in the Banner concern
ing him, where he came from, how
long he had been wild, and an hum
bred and one other things. 1t was
eventually ascertained that man
dressed in moss and pretending mad
ness posed at the mouth of the cave
for a tourist with Photographic out
fit. The Photographic outfit was con-
cealed from the doctor. and as he APP
preached the cave, after some wild
gesticulations, the wild man" took to
his heels in fight The doctor and
the tourist pursued him, but he elud-
ed them and finally plunged into the
cave, and they were afraid to pursue
him further.
