PURCHASED FINE PROPERTY
school Board Has Acquired Valuable
Real Estate in the Heart
of the City

The county school board has bought
three pieces OF valuable property in the
second ward of the city. 1t bought the
property for the Ocala sub-school
board, which board will reimburse the
county board as soon as the funds will
admit.
The property bought is the block
south of Mrs Layne's, and only sep
arated from the block on which the
primary school is located by Mrs.
Layne's property; the half-block south
of this property and tie entire block
west of Mr.. j. r. Moorhead's residence.
on which Mrs. Moorhead has made the
improvements for the children's play
ground.
The half-b block was bought from DR..
J. f. Chace, who sold it to the board
for 81 900, the amount he gave for it
year ago with interest at per cent,
to date. The block nearest Mrs.
Layne's was bought from Messrs.
Theus and Boozer, and the block west
of Mr.. Moorhead from Mr.. B! E. Ray

critics were part of the Martin estate.

range a financial campaign to raise
funds with which to build a magnificent
new high school building on one of the
blocks. The other property will be
held as an investment, pending also a
future want for school properties. The
investment is a good one and the board
could realize a good profit on the
property within a year.
Twenty-Five new houses have been
built in the immediate neighborhood
of these lots within three years and as
an indication of how fast property has
increased in value in that section, two
blocks adjacent to the property bought
| by the school board sold three years
ago for sS00-s400 apiece, and on one
of them was an old mouse of some
value.

WENT FOR WILSON
Illinois In the Democratic Column,
Roosevelt has Minnesota and
California Is Uncertain

New York, Nov. S.-Illinois is safely
in the Wilson column, but California,
which has been claimed by the demo-
Gratis since shortly after the closing of
the polls, waivers toward the progress
sive ranks.
After apparently holding Illinois for
nearly forty hours from the time the
polls closed, Col. Roosevelt lost its 20
electoral votes late in the day when
the assembling of statewide returns
showed a definite victory for Gov. Will
son.
Returns from Minnesota confirmed
the claim of Roosevelt to the IL cleo
toral votes of the state. The Wilson
victory, claimed on the earlier returns,
had become doubtful last night the
count progressed. Later returns today,
with many precincts still to be heard
from, gave Roosevelt an apparently
safe majority.
The victory for Wilson in New
Hampshire did not carry with it con-
troll of the state Legislature, where the
republicans again have majority on
joint ballot and will dictate the selec-
tion of a United States senator.
