Several changes have been made in
the bill as the result Of the numerous
conferences In which President VIII
son, Democrats of the House and Sem
ate committees, Treasury department
officials and committees of bankers
took part following the publication of
the proposed measure several days
ago. but despite appeals that the fed

creased, and that bankers be given
representation. no change in this pro-
vision was made. The board will con-

contemplated proposing an amend
mont which would make the board an
elective body.
Reinserted in the bill was the origi-
nal proposition for retiring the pres

and the substitution of additional fed
eral reserve notes for them. This
eliminates the proposed limit Of $780,
100000 in reserve notes contained in
the bill as originally made public. In
| replacing the bank notes the govern
ment two per cent bonds, upon which
they are now issued, would be re-
funded by three per cent bonds with

Chairman Glass made preparations
for the speedy consideration Of the
bill by the House committee. He OBJ
tanned the passage of two resolutions
to facilitate the work. One provided
for the printing and distribution Of
$4,000 copies of the new bill. The
other, which was adopted after par
tisan discussion, provided $4,000 for
the payment of experts to be employed
by the committee.

crates the battle of Gettysburg proved
TO be the turning point of the Civil

fight against our common foe, the
Roman Catholic Hierarchy, who
would rob US OF our inherent and
inalienable rights. l do not agree
with your views as to Foreign mis-
sions, neither do I line up with you
on your political views, all the way
through, but on your fight against
that miserable old foreign potentate,
[ am with you, and will wait with
abated breath the outcome. [ am
not a native Florioian, but have
been living here since 1876, moved
here from the valley Of Virginia,
lived in a log cabin in the pine for
ests until [ could build a more COM
modious house. I have seen the
rich hammocks but down, and the
wild orange trees buddeu with the
finest varieties of fruit and converted
into the most beautiful groves any
where to be found. Citra is in the
northern part of Marion county, on
the south side of Orange lake, sur
rounded by rich hammock land.
Citra is so named because of the
family of citrus fruits grown here,
this is the natural home of the
orange. We have a population Of
some three hundred and fifty-two;
churches, Methodist and Baptist; no
saloons; seven or eight stores, an in
telligent people. Citra is the Gen
of the State and is called beautiful

have never been advertised, but can
be bought for less than one half the
price you would pay farther South.
This is fine trucking country, vege-

here is very tropical. For fear that

by saying that you have some warm
friends in these parts.
Yours truly.
