A DISGRACE TO THE CITY
AND TO THE RAILROAD

One of the most dIsgraceful places in
the city Is that slough of despond at
the Oklawaha avenue crossing Of the
Atlantic Coast Line, extending from
the avenue some twenty or thirty
yards south along the station platform.
It's disgrace to the city because 1t
causes great inconvenience 70 any
lady who wants TO walk up the avenue
on that side, and must wade thru the
mud when she crosses the railroad TO
reach the sidewalk, and it's a disgrace
to the railroad because passengers of
No and No. % every night have 10
ford a quagmfre to reach the station
platform The bog is at the worst
right at the point where passengers
alight from those two trains, and
where they board Sunnyjim In the
morning It is also much in evidence
to the passengers of No. 80 in the
afternoon. It is a nuisance to the
men and a hardship TO the women, fol
the mud is often shoetop deep.
The trouble is caused by low place
with hard pan below it at that point
holding the rainwater and the watel
that drains from the tenders of the
engines on No. 80, which stops every
day at that place; or else there is
spring or a 1eaky water pipe in thu
vicinity. Whatever the cause, the rail
road or the city should abolish the nu
| isance at once. From time to time
the railroad has had several cars o
gravel dumped there, but it soon goe
under, leaving thcswamp as bad a
before The thing to do is to raise tn
level Of the track, or put in drain.

city should either attend to it. or Sc

| travellers. If any high official Of tn
Al C. l. could be on the station plat

he would never rest till 1t was mended

Before the nomination, there was
nothing so small or mean or untruth-

say it about Governor Wilson.
After the nomination was made
there was still nothing too dirty fol

about the candidate of the democratic
party.
And now that he is president-the

Invitation TO ALACRUA
Marion and Sumter In TrI-
County Fair

Mr. w b. Taylor. president OF the
Gainesville Board of Trade, has written
the following letter to the editor OF
the Gainesville Sun:
The Marion County Fair Association
has invited Alachua and Sumter conn-
ties to join with them in an annual
Tri-County Fair exhibit.
To my mind there can be no question
as TO the immense benefit to come out
of this local competition. It viii make
two eggs drop where but one has
dropped before. 1t viii stimulate
competition among our own people in
all the products of the soil. and to my
mind viii be of inestimab1e value.
A committee will appear before the
Board Of County Commissioners at their
next session, urging the county TO as
sist in carrying out this scheme /
earnestly hope that you will see fit TO
further the enterprise through the
medium of your columns either edi-
torialIy or otherwise You WELD a
powerful influence in Alachua county,
and from my experience before the
Board of County Commissioners few
days ago it is going to require the in
fuence of man like yourself to get
this county out of the rut in which 1t
l mas DGSn AL gNS~A %
1 When you take into account that
AIaehua county increased in popula-
/ tin but per cent in the decade from
1900 to 1910 and that actually there
was more increase in the population
of Gainesville alone than in the entire
county, it means that something has
| been left undone; that Alachua coun-
ty has not kept up with the process
sion; that they have expected too great
returns from their little investments
that they have lost sight of the fact
than any county project that will bring
in through taxation an amount ex-
ceeding per cent on the investment is
a good thing. Alachua county has
stood still, and it is going to take, as
7 have stated above, great pressure
from the right direction to keep this
i county from getting even farther be-
hind than it already is 1t has only
been a few years since A1achua county
4 topped the list in population, in as
Il sessed valuation, in number of children
in school. It stands now fourth II

valuation, and about sixth in number
of children in school There must bt

INVITATION TO ALAcHuA

For some time there has been
strong sentiment among members of
the Marion county Fair Association in
favor of asking two other counties to
join with ours in making fair every
year for all three. Marion naturally
thinks Of her little partner. Sumter,
as being the proper county to help in
anything. and of course all are aware
that the strongest helper we could
have would be the big, rich county OF
AIachua Immediately to the north.
Leaders IN cur fair enterprise have
been making overtures to prominent
men IN AIachua for some months, and
that the plan is meeting with favor
can be seen by the article in another
column.
A tri-county fair for A1achua, Mar
ion and Sumter would be enterprise
and a combination impossible to beat in
this state The Star hopes it will re-
eeive prompt and favorable considera-
ton In Alachua and Sumter, SO we can
all go TO work preparing for an Inn
mense fair next autumn or winter

invitation to the commencement ex1

tutions of it's kind in the United
States. Several of our young men
have finished tho studies in the pro-
fession of pharmAcySin this college, and
Oca1a will be REPRESENTED at the COM
mencement of Thursday, March 20, by
Messrs. Charles Leslie Fox and Ivan

Important committee for the COM
mencement exercises. These young
men@entered this college year before
last, with no previous advantages ex-
cept hard study at home and practi-
cal experience in Ocala drugstores,
but have nevertheless completed their
course in a year less time than is
generally required.
The invitation comes in the form OF
a very handsome booklet, giving the
names of the members of the faculty,
the committees on the exercises, and
the class roll It is prefaced by a
beautiful and striking design, and
makes token that each friend OF the
young students will doubtless keep
with care and appreciation. The col

He is most kindly remembered here by
those who knew him as a young man
and others who met him on his visits
to Ocala OF late, and the news OF his
death causes great regret to his
friends.
