Cement MILL At
GYPSUM DESTROYED
Fire Entails Loss of SIS. 5.000-Sev-
enty Men Thrown Out of
Employment.

| Fire Friday destroyed one ol
the big cement mills at Gypsum, six
! teen miles west of this city, entail
ing loss of $4,000 and THROWN g
seventy men out of employment
Passengers on the train arrivin 6
here yesterday morning reported the
fire as then in progress, but nothin 6
was known of the extent of the
blaze.
The fire evidently started from the
overheating of the drying room and
the building was enveloped in flames
when discovered and nothing could
be done to save it,
The fire was so hot that the men
who attempted to fight it could not
approach the burning building.
Famed by north wind, the flames
took possession Of the two story
wooden structure in short order.
This north wind was responsible for
the saving of partition block
plant 400x100 feet in size to the
north of the mill. This plant is al
so owned by the same company.
The property belongs to the
American Cement Plaster Company,
with home offices in Lawrence, Kan

ALUMNI WINS
= FOOTBALL GAME
The Final Score Stood AZ to g.
Alumni Players Surprise
Spectators.

The foot bail game played in this
city Friday between the high
school and the alumni teams, result
ed in an overwhelming victory for
the alumni The day was ideal and
a large crowd was present, the ma
jority roofing for the high school
team. Seven tOuchdowns with five
goals kicked by the alumni made
their score AZ while the high school
made one touchdown and failed to
kick goal, making the score at the
end of the game, Al to 6. S. SterI-
ing, Spratt, and MaXon starred for
the high school, while for the alumni
Mckee, Talcott and Berggren show
ed fine form. The alumni sprang
several surprises on the spectators as
|it was not expected that they would
be able to play the full game on ac-
count of having had no hard prac-
tices. The signal work of the
alumni was again a surprise. The
high school boys were at a disad-
vantage as they were outweighed
and have not had the hard scrim-
images that are considered by all
football men to be essential for put
ting a team in condition. All who
saw the game were we'll pleased. The
game yesterday does not count
against the high school team in any
way and was played only to give the
players good work out and to help
raise the deficit for the athletic as
Sociation.

REQUIRE BIG BOND OF
WILLIAM O'GARA
Man Who Assaulted Marshal Wren
Penitent and it is Expected
Will Plead Guilty.

VIM. O'Gara, who was given a
hearing Friday afternoon before
Justice G. F. Tucker for assault on
the marshal at Jewell, was bound
over to the grand jury under $4,000
bonds, on the charge of assault with
intent to commit murder. 1t is
, plead guilty if the charge is made
less severe, as he is inclined to be
repentant. He is aware that he was

that the wounds on both himself and
Marshal Wren would be overwhelm-

$4,000 SCHOOL BUILDING FOR
OCALA

The county school board and the
sub-schoOl district trustees held
meeting Tuesday in Superintendent
Brinson's office for the purpose of
taking the initial steps towards the
erection of a $4,000 school building
for our city Mr.. Earl Mark of Jack
sonville was in consultation with
them, and was engaged to draw the
preliminary plans and specifications.
This action is taken under the con-
stitutional amendment which was rat
flied at the last election permitting
sub-school districts TO issue bonds for
school purposes. OF course, before
bonds are issued and the school build
ing started an election will be called,
but as school building seems so ne
cessary, and as Ocala is so progress
i've along other lines it is not contem-
plated but that the bonds will carry
almost unanimously.
In the morning a number of repre-
sentatiyes were present from Dunnel-
Ion before the school board. DunneI-
Ion is to have a new $4,000 school
building, and the board appropriated
$4,000 towards this amount.

MONUMENT UNVEILED AT OK
FORD

Sunday afternoon at / O'Clock six
automobiles well filled with members
of the Ocala lodge, Woodmen of the
World, left the city for Oxford, MAX
ing the trip in good time and with
no mishaps. The trip both down to
Oxford and back again was very
pleasant.
On reaching Oxford shortly after
two o'clock the Woodmen went di-
rectly to the cemtery, where a large
crowd had already assembled, to be
present at the unveiling of the Wood
mems monument to the late T. A.
Mitchell, who was a very worthy and
popular member of the Ocala lodge
Mr.. Mitchell for a number of years
resided in this city. He passed away
at Brsdentown some months ago
Besides the Ocala Woodmen, the
wife and other relatives of the de-
ceased and friends, there were also
several other visiting lodgemen pres
ent at the unveiling ceremonies,
which were solemnly and sacredly
conducted according to the approved
beautiful ritual of the order.
Commander J. F. Thompson led in
the ceremonies, and after the pretty
monument had been unveiled the me-
mortal u,ac ctrau-D with haal1tif11I

Mr. Don Peabody went down to
Bushnell Monday afternoon to spend
several days on business.

A VISIT TO DuNNELLoN

In a recent trip to Dunnellon we
found evidences of Improvement, and
some signs that were not so encourag-
ing We found that Mr.. Grumbles,
Mr. Rawls, Mr.. Kibbler, Mr.. Harry
Peter and others have erected very
nice residences, some just completed
and some nearing completion. We
found that the faithful Catholics,
largely through the efforts of Mr..
Harry Peter, have just about complet-
ed very neat church edifice, and we
found that several other denomina-
tions had very nice places of worship.
We found the public school building
in good shape, but efforts are being
made TO erect a more substantial
building. We found that the citizens
had just received information that
the special bills they had before the
legislature had passed, which gives
them the authority to issue bonds for
paving and making other improve
ments, and were told that the work
would be pushed right along. The
signs that We saw that were not en-
couraging are the closing down of a
number of phosphate plants. Nearly
all the plants of this leading industry
have been closed and about 500 men
are suddenly thrown out of employ
ment. Many Of them have left for
other parts. where they expect to find
employment. The citizens of Dunnel-
Ion hope that the closing of the mines
is only temporary. The war in the
Balkan states is cited as the cause Of
the depression. Most of the output of
the mines is shipped across the wa
ter.

An important case is being tried
before Hon. David S. Williams. acting
as United States commissioner, in the
federal court room The case comes
from Wildwood, in Sumter county,
and is attracting a great deal of in
terest by a number of citizens from
that place. Four young men, promi-
nent in the community, are charged
with having, on the night of Decem-
Der %, 1912, ripped open certain mail
sacks and rified them of their con-
tents. Detectives have been quietly
working UP the case and the arrest
of the four young men is the result OF
the work of those detectives.
Judge J. c. B. Koonce of Bushnell
and Hon. w. X. Zewadski of this city.
are both engaged in the defense of
the young men charged with the
crime.
The case has been adjourned over
until Monday.

NEW OCALA MERCHANTS

The bankrupt stock of merchandise
of the Ocala News Company was solo
yesterday by the receiver, Mr. S. S.
Savage, Jr.. with the approval Of the
referee. Mr. Grover Mcclure, to
Messrs. Murray and Company, and
the sale marks a new link in the
chain of Ocala's business life. The
new firm Will add to the stock just
purchased and promises the citizens
OF Ocala as complete a stationery
store as is possible to be secured. and
in addition will keep all manner OF
office supplies.
The store building will be thorough
ly renovated TO accommodate the de-
sign and scope of the new business,
and a contract has been let to MesSrs.
McIver and MacKay for a plate glass
front. Mr. Murray will have charge
of its management, and expects to
make the store a model of attractive
ness.
Mr.. Murray has large experience,
and for a number of years has been
identified with Ocala as is instanced
by his being among its largest lot
owners.
This paper extends its welcome to
the new firm and hopes that it will
prosper and will help all other bust
nesses to prosper.

Lake Weir on Sunday was the Nee
ca for a great many Ocala people.
Several dozen went down in automo-
biles and spent the entire day at the
lake. and in the afternoon fifteen or
more automobiles full enjoyed from
one to two hours at the lake, a great
many going in bathing from the docks
of Mr.. Davis and Mr.. Carstens. Lake
Weir is a delightful spot, and the auto
trip down and back and short dip in
the lake is most refreshing and reju-
venating. We should congratulate
ourselves on its nearness to us.

bring to its support, and have in the
meeting Thursday night fifty men,
who will say that they will stand back
of this movement, as scout commits
sioners.
This meeting had ought to bring
ten to fifteen young men from twenty
to thirty years old, whose idle, profta-
less and wasted time could be turned
into profit, not only to themselves,
but to their young brothers, as scout
masters.
This meeting ought to bring
to bring out one hundred boys be-
tween the ages of twelve to sixteen
years.
The Scout Oath
1. To do my duty to God and my
country, and obey the scout law.
> To help other people at all
times.
8 To keep myself physically
strong, mentally awake, and morally
straight.
There are three classes of scouts:
Tenderfoot-W must know the
scout oath and law, composition and
history of their flag, respect due the
same, and knowledge of modifying.
Second Class-Must have tender
foot service. must know first aid, ele-
mentary signaling, tracking, scout
pace, use OF the knife and hatchet,
fire making, cooking; must have bank
deposit; must know the sixteen
points of the compass.
First Class-Swimming must be
learned, and must still have larger
bank deposit, earned by himself; sig
mailing, the big hike, first-aid learned
thoroughly; cooking out of doors,
map reading, use of the axe, distance
judging, nature observation, language
of the flowers, poison oak, poison ivy,
star constellation, etc.
training others to the call of service
and citizenship.
The call of the community is SER
vice. This constitutes patriotism OF
state and county; the cry Of the ado
lescent boy to service. This means
that citizenship in its formation, be-
gins with the twelve-year-old boy The
scout idea recognizes the voice of ado
lescence, and in this his thought of
life challenges the developing boy to
seek new expressions in a good turn
done daily" to some one.
Won't every man. woman and child
who loves her hoy. who loves Ocala,
help this movement, and therefore
help the boys?
Sincerely,
DIR. F. E. McCLANE.
