ACCEPTS PLANS FOR
$4,000 SCHOOL BUILDING
Board at Special Meeting Mon
day Evening Gets Views Of
Large Taxable Interests
Before Taking Definite
Action.

At a special meeting Of the
board of education of the indie
pendent School District Of Vir-
ginia held, at the new Technical
High building on Monday even
ing, a, number Of representatives
of the larger taxable interests OF
the district were in attendance to
confer with the board relative to
the plans for the proposed new
ward school building in the Room
ey Addition, a plat for which was
purchased the past season.
The plans as submitted by
Architect German call for prac-
tically fire-proof structure Of ten
rooms with a seating capacity for
40 pupils, which can be erected
at an estimated cost of $65, 600.
Among those in attendance at
the meeting were S. j. Cussons,
general manager Of the Virginia
& Rainy Lake Company, A. B.
Coates, Mark Elliot, superintend~
ent Of the Inter State Iron Com
pany, and others, all uniting in
expressing their belief that the
proposed building was a necessity
and that same should be built
right, with the result that the
plans as submitted were formally
accepted. The board also voted
to employ w. G. Bonham to care
for the legal work pertaining to a
bond issue if such should be
deemed necessary in the eonstruc-
ton Of the building.
1t is the intention to have the
new building in readiness for the
opening of another school year,
and the building fast becomes q
necessity in this rapidly growing
section of the city.
Since the meeting Of Monday
evening it is rumored that repre-
sentatives Of the Oliver company
and Of the Pickands-Math Com
pany, each Of which interests
have properties in the district,
have consulted with the architect
with a view to having the plans
remodeled and simplifed to an
extent which should save in the
initial cost, but such course can
not be pursued without consent
Of the local board.

AT THE GOSPEL TENT

From Sundays Daily;
The third week of what are proving
to be the most successful gospel
meetings which have been held in
Ocala for years will begin tonight at
the gospel tent on Oklawaha avenue,
in which nightly meetings are being
conducted by Evangelist Carlyle B.
Haynes, of Atlanta and Baltimore
These meetings began in a small
way two weeks ago tonight, the at
tendance being kept down by the in
cessant rains of that week Since
then, however, the attendance has
been increasing nightly, until it be-
as to how to seat their audiences. A
hurry order was sent out for addition
al canvas to enlarge the big tent, and
last Thursday, this having arrived,
two additional spices We're laced in
to the tent, a large number of addi-
tional seats secured, and now the
great canvas pavilion has a seating
capacity of about 1000 1t is expect
ed that this will be we'll filled tonight
at which time Mr. Haynes will deliver
an address on The Great Counterfeit
OF Christianity"
These services differ greatly from
the usual evangelistic meetings
There is no sensationalism of any
kind Mr.. Haynes says: 4 believe
that the true foundation for all true
evangelistic work is the plain teach
ings of the Word of God Therefore
it is my canstant aim not to work
the people up to an emotional pitcr
where they will be ready to promise
anything, but rather TO instruct then
in the great fundamental principle:
of the gospel of Christ"
One of the features of these meet
ings is the question and answer ser
vice. which is held at the close O
the address each night. At this time
