Des Arc Items.

Our town has suffered a great
loss in the death of Arthur
Schmidt, one of the best boys
ever reared in Des Arc. He came
here with his father Is years ago
and attended our public school,
and was one of the best business
men we had. He ran the butcher
department and was q partner
with his father. He married Miss
Gertie Fitzpatrick about a year
ago and they lived a devoted life
but God saw best to separate
them. He was buried in the Des
ARC cemetery by the Woodmen.
His casket was beautiful, costing
800. A beautiful wreath was
placed on the casket by the Wood
men. Rev. w. w. Strother con-
Quoted the funeral services. May
God help his family and wife to
bear their loss and may they be
ready for the masters call.

an old mail route road leading to
French Mills and has been kept up
by the citizens of that community
for years, and it will make a good
road for a lot of travel if the court
will take stock in it. 1t is not
thought that the present county
court will lay the petition aside,
when it is presented to them.

The Iron County Ice & Supply
Company will certainly make a
success this summer as there is
lots of ice used. Their ice is of
such good quality and made of
such pure water that it is bound to
be healthy. 1t is as cold as could
be, and as slick as if creased, clear
as crystal and heavy as lead. 1t
certainly would make fine lemon

Tullock about this cold ice and
ask him if those mules have quit
running yet. BULLETIN.

To the People of Iron County.

For the information of the tax
payers of Iron county we wish to
state the reason that the audit of
the various offices of the county,
~inaugurated by the county court
last May, has not beenscompleted,
is that we have been unable to se-
cure the Treasurer's Cancelled
checks from the county depository
the Bank of Ironton. After re-
peated demand that institution has
finally agreed to return the checks,
and we expect full and final re-
port from the auditors at the Au-
gust adjourned term of the coun-
ty court, September 4th.

TO THE PEOPLE OF OCALA

II is earnestly hoped that every cit
izen of Ocala will cooperate with the
sanitary department of the city coun-
healthful and the most beautiful town
in the state.
The following suggestions are offer
ed with that end in view. Don't wait
for the sanitary inspector to notify
you TO clean up and put your yard in
sanitary condition. II may embar-
rass you, cost you money and cause
sickness.
Don't wait for the scavenger cart TO
remove light trash which you can
easily burn. The carts will be able to
accomplish much more for the city IL
they are saved unnecessary work of
this kind.
Don't ask the city to remove ashes
that will furnish fertilizer for your
garden and flower beds: broken bricks
or rocks that can be crushed to i'm
prove walks or the beds of streets.
Don't leave water standing around
that will breed the dreaded mosquito
which bring diseases TO your own and
your neighbor's family. and don't al
low filth of any kind that will nurture
flies, the other of the two greatest
menaces to the health of our city.
All laws pertaining 10 this depart
ment will be enforced and we ask ev-
cry one TO report 10 the Inspector or
chairman of the committee any irregu-
larities or noncompliance with ordi-
nances Sanitary Committee

THE BOND ELECTION

II our citizens want the bond cleo
ton to be a success on the 18th of
May. they must talk and work among
the voters The city must own its
own water works system. II will be a
great stride in the progress OF the
city. 1t will be a great financial stroke.
II the city owns its own water works
system and the plant does well as
the electric light plant, il will be very
profitable. besides providing its sink
ing and bond interest fund The ques-
ton is often asked: Will the city buy
the Ocala Water Company's plant or
build a new one? This is hard TO an
swer. The citizens can rest assured
if the city buys the water company's
plant, il will be at a figure that no
business man, If he were handling the
situation a private venture. could
or would fail to take advantage of,
and this only after a competent firm of
engineers have been employed to give
the city report on the condition of
the property and its approximate value
at the time. With this assurance il Is
up TO the voters to vote for bonds. II
is the only logical thing TO do.
