Special Cor. Ocala Banner:
This is to remind everybody that
they should rot forget the school chill
dren's entertainment ana social to be
given Thanksgiving eve, November
29th, for the benefit of the school.
Once we all were children and we al
liked a warm school room This the
children have not; some of the sash
in the school house are broken and
many of the window lights are out.
Now then, be generous; % cents will
not break anyone Think of your own
school days and make the children
happy by helping a good cause.
The case of the Florida National
Land Company VS.. J. F. Hansgen was
decided in favor of the land company.

found for the plaintiff, and the prop
erty now reverts to the land com
pany.
