1t was the next afternoon when
Anderson sent his card up to
Kilmartyn's suite. 1t was vain
hope; but to his intense surprise
he was admitted.
'You may be surprised at what
l am about to tell you," the Eng
lishman said to the reporter.
But you are vouched for by a
mutual friend in whom l have the
utmost confidence. l learn from
her that it will be of great per-
sonal value to you if your paper
is able to make the first an

Then the reporters instinct as
serted itself, and although all but

brain was numb with the shock
he listened while the Englishman
gave him the details. Still in a
daze, he went back to his desk,

Shot Twice in Head. Negro Unhurt.


 News of the shooting of negro by Deputy Sheriff Chas. Fleming. al Round Pond, reached the city We'd nesday.
 Through Deputy Sheritf D. S. Moore, Times man was informed that the negro brought the trouble on himself by calling Fleming the name that no white man ever allowed 10 pass anpunished, at the same time cursing the deputy Fleming quick ly drew his pistol and shot the negro i'll the forehead. but the ball ranged around and came out at the back of the head. The negro turned to run when Fleming shot him again in the back of the head and again the ball caromed around the negro's skull and came out in front. Thus the negro's head had been circled by two bullets and the black ran away without seri. ous injury, all of which goes to show that it is practically useless to shoot negro in the head

Death of James A. Richardson.

Let us now pause in our rapid flight across the vista of time. and pay trI oute to him who lived among us, and who was our friend and neighbor Jim" Richardson was born in Frank lin county, Alabama, September II, 1881, and died October 2s, 1912. He came with his father and mother, MT. and Mrs. II. $. Richardson, to St. Francis county, in the year 1895. Thus it will be seen that he was but a mere child when he crossed the great fathers of waters and joined destinies with Arkansas and her peo- pie. A father and mother, three sisters and one brother, a host of dear relatives and friends are left behind to mourn their loss and cher ish his memory. It was our pleasure to know this boy for T. years. We have watched him climb life's ladder rung by rung, and to say that his life, as far as it went. was success. would be but to tell the plain un- vanished truth. A sturdy. indus trious. working, home-loying boy; devoted son, affectionate broth, CT and a faithful friend What a record to leave behind us: what more could one desire:, and to crown it all. his dying hours were triumphantIy happy.
 And his sun though in its noon- tide zenith, sank slowly and peaceful ly amid the splendorS of all eternal dawn. We knew him in life, We watched beside him in death. He lived noble life, he died a trium- phant death.
 Jim Richardson's place can never be filled. Time may soften but can never erase his memory. Weep not, dear parents; sorrow not, dear siste for in that sweet bye and bye you can live with Jim over on that other shore. Let us emulate his many noble virtues and cherishhis memory. let us live as he lived and we will make this a purer, fairer, sweeter and better world in which to live. Good bye Jim, We wilfmeet you. we Will greet you, over on that other shofe' C. T. MOORE.

Credits to the City and County

The United States government and
our county officials have met the re-
quirements of our county in a most
ample and creditable manner and the
properties as controlled by these Of
ficials would he a credit to a much
larger city than Ocala and the contrast
between these and our city buildings
Is most humiliating to our citizenship
and our county is certainly entitled TO
better and more progressive coopera-
tion at the hands of our city, there
fore. we recommend that more ser
viceable. creditable and up-to-date city
hall be built and if possible in a much
better location for the transaction Of
Lmunicipal business.

Report of the Civic Committee

Your committee is very much pleas
ed 10 report that its members have
taken great deal of interest in the
subcommittee work.
II feels that any of these sugges-
tions that the Board of Trade may
make TO the city council of Ocala will
be considered by that body as a prof
fer Of help. in work TO be done, and
not as criticism of work already
under way. 1t is the unanimous Opin-
ion of the civic committee that the
policy of paying for permanent i'm
provements should be by bonding and
not throw the whole expense on the
present when the future will not only
have the use of these improvements
but will also reap the harvest of un-
earned increment which is bound to
follow these works.
