OCALA AND KEY WEST

Editor Claude L'Engle of Dixie" at
tended the big railroad celebration
recently held at Ke yWest and in the
course of his write-up of this event
says:
There was a lumber broker who
went to Key West. He buys the out
put of several mills around Ocala, and
takes lumber to fill his orders from
other mills with the goods and with
the price. He had been shipping in
to Key West by rail to Tampa and
then by boat for some years. But this
time he was able to guarantee an
all-rail shipment with the saving of
some twenty hours ,and he got lit
tie more than five times as big an
order this time than he had ever got
before.

OCALA, FLORIDA FRIDAY, FEBRUARY g. 1912
MlSTRlAL IN THE WATERMAN
CASE

At II o'clock on Saturday night the
jury sitting in the Waterman case
called for cots so they could retire
for the night as they said that it was
impossible for them to reach a YER
dict. The next morning the prospects
were as hopeless as the night before
so at II o'clock they were discharged
by Judge Wills and the case will go
over for re-trial to another term of
the court
The jury stood on the first ballot
three for conviction and nine for ac-
quittal and on the ballots after that
the ballots stood ten for acquittal and
two for conviction.
Hon. Raymond B. Bullock will with
in the week apply to Judge Wills for
bail and he thinks that the same will
be granted and that the amount
named will not be SO much as to make
it impossible for the defendant and
his friends to raise it.

OPEN LETTER FROM A. M. LANS-
FORD TO THE WOMAN'S CLUB
Ocala, Fla, Feb. 6, 1912.

Ocala, Fla, Feb. 6, 1912.
Mrs Hooker, President Woman's Club
of Ocala:
Dear Madam note with much
pleasure that you good ladies have Sc
cured Maud Powell, the famous violin
ist, to play at the Temple theater on
the evening of the 10th inst. l beg to
congratulate you on this and to say
without a moments hesitation that in
my opinion this will prove to, be the
greatest theatrical attraction that our
city has ever enjoyed.
1t was my good fortune to hear this
great musician some time since, and
| must say that it is no eXaggeration
to declare that when hearing her mu-
sic the listener becomes absolutely
oblivious to all else, coming to himself
at the end of selection as from a
trance. She plays with that complete
ease and abandon that proclaims the
real artist who knows that his efforts
are being appreciated, and yet there
is entire absence of anything in her
mien suggestive of pose or affecta-
ton.
One of the highest endorsements of
Miss Powell's skill is in the fact that
the Victor Talking Machine Company
has secured her to play for it exclu-
sively. l have a number of her best
records at my store, and if any of you
good ladies would like foretaaste of
her music | shall take great pleasure
in playing them over for you.
Yours respectfully,
A. M. LANSFORD.
