said he hoped that he would hear that
Richmond had fallen before he was Obliged
TO leave the President to take his place at

LET'S HAVE 4 FLAG STAFF

The people of Ocala have always re-
GREETED that no flag staff was put on
the dome Of the court house when that
building was erected We have heard
this omission mentioned and regretted
a hundred times. Now is the time to
remedy the oversight and greatly en-
nance the beauty of the building. The
painters have a scaffold built around
the dome TO enable them TO paint it.
Now let's have the flag staff. Every
taxpayer in the county will be pleased
to have it there and have a big copy OF
old glory floating out over the county s
handsome capitol at all times. An eff
fort will be made to have Messrs. Nc
liver & MacKay, who are doing the
painting. to place a good flag staff on
the dome of our court house We be-
lieve the county commissioners will
gladly pay the bill. If they will not
the citizens of Ocala will pass the ha;
and cheerfully make up the small
amount.
