ANTIQUE DOCUMENTS

Messrs. w. J. Wilson and F.. Fl. Cal
der Of Citra were at the Montezuma
last evening. Mr.. Wilson, a young
man originally from Early County. Ga.
but who has lived some time at Live
Oak, is with ]. B. Barton in the naval
stores business. He has recently
bought a tract of land situated four
miles east Of Citra, and his visit to
Ocala was to settle up the business
necessary to the transaction. He show
ed the reporter a most interesting set
OF titles, bunch of papers, yellOwed
with age. The first Of these was OF
date of 1848 and was issued from the
United States land office at Newnans-
Vile. This place, located some eight
cen or twenty miles north Of Gaines
Vile, was once one of the most i'm
portant inland towns in the state. It
was established as military post
during the first Seminole war, and
held much of it's Importance until
about thirty years ago. We think, tho
we are not sure, that in the early part
Of its existence, 1t was the county

was twice as big as it is now, and
when Lake City was only the hamlet

sawmill and a number Of stores. All

the lute-like strains Of bird OF
Paradise" Ia rather lay my head
upon the pulsing warmth OF her gentle
bosom. than to feel the eager caress
of a western blizzard. I love her so
well indeed that when Iife's fitful
fever is spent, ID rather sleep beneath
the music Of her soughing winds and
her coverlet Of crystal sands than TO
rest my bones in mausoleums of the
men of millions. Mr.. Chairman, in a
word sir. and gentlemen, such is my
devotion TO the Land Of Flowers, Ia
rather start for the pearly gates OF
the New Jerusalem from her wave
washed and kissed shores than to
go ton the other direction from the
craven portals Of King Georges palace.
With this estimate Of Florida you
cannot be surprised at my enthusiasm
for that or those agencies which spell
the progress and prosperity Of her peo-
pie.
1t is charged that Florida folks are
lazy. \ base calumny. Here and there
you may find one possessed of hook
worms, like the deaf fellow who con-
fessed in IAN experiment meeting" aft
er a good sister" had said she was
"a poor worm of the dust, but the Lord
was good TO her" saying: "Brethring,
I'm like the good sister who has spok-
en-. I'm a poor wOrmy cuss myself,
but the Lord is good to me too" Such
a fellow is lazy; he's bound to be. He's
too lazy to get up off of a humble bee.
But, gentlemen, Mr.. T. p Rentz the
distinguished president and indefatiga-
BILE builder Of the Ocala Northern,
does not belong in that class.
1t is said he who makes two blades
Of grass TO grow where once there
grew but one IS philanthrOpist. If
this be true, then he who builds a rail
road across tracklesS wilderness.
and thus bids 1t blossom the rose,
giving birth to towns and cities and
fruitful fields and smiling landscapes,
| is benefactor to his race.
Today there is witnessed in this state
and duly celebrated the completion Of
two great railway enterprises. Mr..
Henry NJ. Flagler. a son of the North,
out of the plethor of an unlimited
purse has bridged the sea with steel
and concrete, a splendid structure that
at once laughs in the face Of the storm
king, and weds the little queen of the
Gulf to her mainland sutton. He has
wrought well, and the nations of the
world are delighting to do him honor.
But Mr.. E. Pierce Rentz by dint of
prodi gious financiering. and inmeasur-
able self acrifice and industry has
welded by bands of steel two of our
fair inland cities. bringing to each
new agencies of thrift and new ave
nues OF prosperity. For this we de-
light to do him honor, and express to
him our sincere admiration for his
genius, not forgetting to express as
we'll our warmest wish that his useful
life may be spared many years to en-
Joy the fullest fruition Of this noble
achievement

I believe SO profoundly in Florida,

admiration that the scintillating smile

dances in the eyes of a polar bear. I'd

HOW MAIL ORDER
 GOODS ARE MADE

The Hillsboro CIIl.) News recently printed the following article:
 "A. W. Edwards, of Chicago. is here visiting old friends and relatives and taking his regular summer vaca- tion. MT. Edwards, together vith partner is running a harness factory in Chicago, and they make harness only for the mail order houses.
 "In speaking with Mr. Edwards In regard to his business he gave us the following interesting interview:
 "'We make harness on just as cheap a basis as 1t can be made and we have to figure down to the last half cent on everything. We haze only a half dozen houses to dsal with and they all demand practically the same grade of goods and cheap work.
 Just for instance one mail ordar house alone took 1,615 sets of ons style of driving harness. They want after January l. just as fast as it car be delivered. Before January 1 thsec companies invoice their stock Of goods and they will take only enough to niI on a certain number before January l. Just as soon as the invoice Co taken, however, they will take ali they order and just as fast as # can be de- Hvered.
 .9.Our harness Is made cheapiy be- cause we employ Greek laborers and Iaborers are not harness makers and never will be. They are taught Co make just one thing on one kind of machine and we, of course. paS them by piece work. One man will there fore become very apt, as he only has one thing to do, and the speed with which he can turn out work is per- fect1y amazing.
 ss The farmers must expect to pay higher prices for their harness uM- less there is a change in the present leather market. At the present time we must pay 3 cents more on the pound for leather than we did laEL year, and this means a raise of ai- most 20 per cent. in the price of leather alone. We figure so cIoasiy pound on leather would cut lzIEa slices from our profits were we not to increase our prices accordingly. We have no sliding scale in selling hzT- ness to these mail order houses and when we make a price we must stick prices high enough to meet just such contipeencies as now confront as

 .|'There is a lot and there is an- other, and there Is another. and the price is so much, and you can either take it or leave it.
 " One mall order house pays ita bills every Monday morning.

Princeton and Pennsylvania football p1a.Ners will get into action next week the call for candidates having been sent out from Philadelphia and Princeton. Robertson Lea Perot, the

Smith, who has been spending the summer at Dubois, Pa, has returned to Philadelphia and has begun work outlining the fall cam paign.
 The Tigers have before them the problem of building up a sound att tack that will stand the test Of a Dig game. Last year the Nassau elev- en stuck closely to the loose ball game on the big days. and won the two inn portant games, showing a defence There are plenty of good backs at Princeton, but the Tigers did not show last year anything like a set of sound formations for the running attack a1- though they had two running stars in Pendleton and Baker, the latter, by the way, the type of man who should show up we'll this season. Baker is a born football player, and although he had little opportunity to show what he could do on offence last year. is as valuable a man back Of the line as any coach could wish for.
 Princeton is making an organized effort to show that the running game have been offered for suitable plays. 4 good many football veterans are in- clined to sniff at this method of find- Ing plays, but some of the most ef-
