ocALA NORTHERN TO HAVE REG
ULAR MAILS

The Ocala Northern, the new rail
way between Ocala and Palatka, will
soon have mail service. w. L. NJ.
Austin, superintendent of the railway
mail service here, will make the trip
to Ocala within short time for the
purpose of installing service on the
trains of the new railway.
In the same plan Of inspection, the
new head of the railway mail service
in this section will soon make a trip
all over the Florida territory.
1t is a custom of the railway mail
officials to take a look at their terri
tory, and this is what the local official
will do as soon as he fixes things in
his new office for the trip.-Times-

PRIMARY SCHOOL FOR NORTH
OCALA

1t is nominally understood that if
the bond issue carries, which is to be
voted on on August 81, that five thou
sand dollars of the total sum is to be
used for the purpose of building a
brick school house in the northern
section of the city This school will
be used for primary pupils and will
fill a growing and pressing want of
the citizens residing in that portion
of Ocala, as well as number of fam
lilies who are living beyond the city
limits.
The members of the school board
and the representative of the local
trustees, with Superintendent Brin-
son went out yesterday morning to
inspect the five-acre trace which Mr..
B. H. Seymour proposes to donate to
the city for the erection Of the school
building. Mr.. Brinson says that its
location is very fine, and is high
enough to overlook the city.
There is a tacit agreement that the
lot will be accepted and the building
will be erected just as soon as the
bonds can be disposed of, providing
the result of the election is favora-

.wETr AND "DRY" ELECTION

The canvass of the signatures to
the petition calling for wet" and
dry" election was completed yester-
day by the board of county commits
sioners, and it was ascertained that
those who were instrumental in get
ting up the petition had something
like five hundred signatures to spare
so the election will be called.
We hope that the campaign will be
conducted along sane and moderate
lines. There is no necessity for one
falling out with his neighbor on a
question of this sort. There is moth
ing to be gained by the use of invec
tives, the calling of names, or re
sort to Incorporate measures.
We and our household, including
the son who is in Duluth, signed the
petition and expect to vote the dry
ticket, and if asked for advice would
counsel temperance and tolerance
from start to finish, remembering
that more flies can be caught with
sugar than with vinegar
A free, untrammelled ballot is the
dearest right of American citizenship
and one should be allowed to exercise
this privilege without let or hin
dranec, except by a resort to reason
and narSua sion
So we hope that the present wet
and dry" election will be the excep
ton to all others, and will be in a
class by itself, in that it will be con
Quoted so good naturally that no bit
terness of spirit will be kindled. and
when it shall have ended there will
be no sores to heal and friends will
continue friends.
We hope that this election will test
the beauty, the strength and gran
deur of our form of government, TO-
wit: the exercise of free and un,
trammelled ballot"
In a campaign of this sort we do not
believe that those who advocate tenn
perance need fear the result.

PRIMARY SCHOOL BUILDING FOR
NORTH OCALA

A number of the citizens of Ocala
met with the county board of public
instruction Tuesday afternoon to urge
the claims of the citizens residing in
the northern portion of the city for
a primary school building.
1t was shown that that section was
growing more rapidly, perhaps, than
any other section of the city; that it
already had enough children to JUS
tify the erection of a primary school
building; that many of the children
were small, and in order to attend
the present primary school had to
cross several railroad tracks, which
was more or less a constant peril;
that the citizenship of that section
was made up of the less wealthy
class, and as their demands were rea-
sonable, moderate and in every way
modest, should be granted without
question.
1t was understood that the local
trustees favored the proposition and
that Prof. Workman said that it was
very essential and would relieve the
present situation in a most satisfac-
tory manner.
The members of the school board
will visit this morning the fve-acre
tract of land which Mr.. B. H. Sey-
mour proposes to deed to the school
board on condition that the school
building will be erected on it.
The sum asked for is five thou
sand dollars, which is sufficiently
large TO erect a building large
enough to supply present demands. 1t
will be erected with an eye to its en-
largement whenever the number of
pupils will justify it.
The people of the north end are de-
lighted, and this paper wishes to con-
graduate Mrs. D. A. Smith for her
very timely and admirable letter lead
ing up to what is now believed to be
a certainty-that that section of the
city will have in the very near flu
ture an up to date brick primary
school building.

A NEW LAW FIRM

1t will be pleasing to their friends
to learn that a co-partnership has
been formed between Mr.. Edwin
Spencer, Jr., and Mr.. Frederick
Hooker.
In our judgment no two young men
have ever started out in life better
equipped for the work in hand or
with brighter prospects of success.
Both are ambitious and both are
talented.
The senior member of the new firm
graduated from Stetson with particu-
larly flattering honors. and since en-
tering upon the arena of life has
measured up to the high mark his
graduation pre-supposed, and the lau-
rels he has so easily won among a
body of much older compeers pre-
supposes also that he will find other
stepping-stones that will lead on to
higher and yet higher things.
The junior member of the firm grad
uated with honors at the University
of Florida, and before becoming stu
dent there he was a student at Wash
ington and Lee.
He is the youngest son of Judge
William A. Hooker, member of the
supreme court of Florida, and is not
only a lawyer by Inheritance, but by
diligent application as well. He won
his diploma by close study; he is we'll
equipped in the law in all its varying
phases, is as ambitious as is his part
ner, and We predict for the yonug
firm brilliant future.

the notes matured only few were

payments, and she says that this year
they are meeting the notes as rapidly
as they mature. She says that it has

1t will be as much a matter of sur
prise as it is of regret among the
friends of Dr. j. Walter Hood to learn
that on Wednesday morning he filed
his resignation as a member of the
council with the clerk of that body,
to take effect at once. We could not
ascertain why the doctor took this
step except that to perform the du-
ties of the office as the public welfare
requires takes up more of his time
that he can reasonably spare. The
meeting of the council the night be-
fore he rendered his resignation was
very harmonious one, and there is,
so far as we know, no friction existing
among the members of the council.
Dr. Hood says that in his capacity as
a private citizen he will still feel
greatly concerned about the city, and
will do everything in his power to pro
mote its welfare.
