that the court would reach the con-
clusion that it was the object and
purpose of the council to impose this
| tax on railroad companies engaged in
business within the corporate limits
of the city of Ocala and the amount
of the tax is not restricted by the
general revenue act of 1913, as that
act itself excerpts special acts or char
ter acts of municipal corporations.
| am of the opinion that the city
of Ocala can enforce the above re-
ferred to provisions of said ordinance
and collect the amounts from railroad
companies therein specified.
However, I would suggest to the
council that in the event this ordi-
nance is passed over the veto of the
mayor that at an early date an ordi-
nance be passed, amending the said
ordinance in question so as to more
clearly express the intention of the
council in the matter of imposing a
license or tax on railroad companies
engaged in business within the cor
porate limits of the city of Ocala.
Respectfully submitted,
Carlos L. Sistrunk, City Atty.

books for 1913 taxes and same were

Mr.. weather's Recommendation
ocala. ia, SEM. 16. 191S.

Ocala, Fla, Sept. 16, 1918.
The Honorable City Council, ocala.
Gentlemen: l take the liberty of
recommending and advising that you
specially authorize your street COM
mittee 10 make such reasonable and
conservative Improvements on South
orange street as may be necessary to
make the approach to the hospital
over that street more comfortable
than II is now. The hospital | be-
lieve itself is slightly beyond the old
city limit, and as the council has not
80 FAR been doing any work beyond
the old city feel that formal action
should be taken by the council au-
thorizing the committee TO do this
work which II seems TO me is now
The most important street work be-
fore us and / think ought to have
and attention in pref
erence to all other street work, espe-
cially inasmuch as it is planned to
have the occupancy of the new hos
pital begin the first of October. l
DO not advocate expensive grading or
lime surfacing. but | do think that
some Of each ought to be done; how
ever. If YOU are willing to leave that
10 the judgment and discretion of
your committee l am sure they will
handle it conservatively and l hope,
intelligently.

PROGRESSIVE Farmers.

Those who hold the opinion
that the old Mother State is be-
hind the times, might change
their minds if they would go over
to our neighboring county Of
Frederick, Virginia, and see
what their brother farmers are
doing for themselves.
BELIEVING that practical exper-
fence and scientific methods make.
the best combination for success,
the progressive farmers and fruit
growers of that County have re-
Gently gone down in their own
pockets to the tune of $4,000, eni-
p1oyed the best farm demonstrat-
or available in Virginia, at lib
eral salary, furnished him with
an office, in Winchester, automo-
bile, telephone, etc and he is kept
busy answering the calls for ex-
pert advice and assistance.
If a farmer wants to know how
to get a good stand of alfalfa,
for instance, the demonstration is
called on, not only for advice as
to how to. prepare the soil, etc,
but by watching every process
of growth, can give practical adj
vice at every stage of cultivation.
This week he will take party
of progressive farmers and dairy
men to Washington to consult
with the head -oflthe Dairy De-
partmenf Of the, Uuited States
Government, as to how best to
introdure.a better breed of dairy
cows to that section of Virginia.
From Washington the party will
go to Annapolis to inspect herd
Of Holstein cows, the property of
the Government, from which, it is
expected, some very fine grade
and pure bred cows can be secur-
ed, When this stock has been
purchased it is intended to form
dairy clubs throughout the Coun-
ty and So maintain interest in Sc
curing the maximum production
from dairy cows.
Horse sense" and science, are
bound to win out, and our
Frederick County brethren know
ing this, are not backward in
backing their judgment.

Stonewall Jackson.

Fifty years ago there fell MORALLY
wounded at Charlottesville one of
the great captains of English-speaking
races.
Lee, who called Stonewall Jackson his
strong right arm. once said that he would
have won Gettysburg IL Jackson had been
there. Be that as it may, the almost unin-
'terrupted victories of the Army of N orth.
-ern Virginia ended when Jackson passed
away. charlottesville marked the flood
tide of the Confederate arms Two
months later came Gettysburg. aud from
thence on to Appomattox Lees forces,
despite all their marvellous courage and
tenacity, were never again invincible.
Jackson's place in military history is
unique. Most great regulations we're
made by long years of service. His ca
reer was compressed into scanty TWEEN
ty-two months, from that day in July,
1861. when Bee pointed to him stand
ing like stone WALL at Bull Kun, TO
the early May day in 1868, when he
marched his corps around the front of
Hooke-'s army, smashed : in its right
flank and gave the Confederacy its most
brilliant victory, only to fall under the
fire of his own men.
A terrible partnership was that be-
tween the Cavalier and the Puritan; be-
tween Lee, WHO embodied the chivalry
of Virginia, and Jackson, who was a di-
rect spiritual descendent of the men that
fought with Cromwell at Naseby. In all
crises the two men seemed to fight with
single brain aud single purpose, des-
titute alike of the jealousy and intrigue
that all but wrecked the Army of the Pc
tomac.
Jackson presents strange, appealing
figure on the pages of history. He was
as gentle and gracious as Lee, as silent
and taciturn as Grant. as daring and au-
dacious as Stuart or Sheridan. asrelent-
less as Sherman, and with it all there
was an intensity of religious fervor that
belonged to the seventeenth century
rather than the nineteenth The war to
him was holy war. He went to battle
with a prayer on his lips and he went
from battle to give thank od4swho
had crowned his army Wit vic tory
Appealing from his native sod
= In forma pauperis to God:
Lay bare thine arm stretch forth
thy rod,
Amen, That's Stonewall'sway.n
Even the bullets that struck him down
he regarded as provIdsntiatiy directed
by a definite divine purpose. There is
no more mendacious= phrase than that of
"a born soldier, "a soldier " ho hated
war, who was dazzled neither by am
bition nor glory, who fought for piin-
cipie. and principle alone, and whose
military genius was elemental Peace
to his ashes. A united nation can be
proud that he was numbered among

The Weekly Editor.
Wheeling Intelligencer.

In the ranks of the weekly news
paper editors we have some of the best
and ablest men of the state, and some
of the most devoted and unselfsh pub
lie seivants. The weekly press of West
Virginia gives to the people a service
that cannot be paid for in dollars and
cents. The average weekly editor OH
tains a modest competence from his
business, and the business demands not
only close attention, but information
and experience that are not often gath
cred by men of ordinary capacity. De-
casionly we read tributes to the coun-
try minister and the country doctor.
In one Of his famous tales, Beside the
Bonnv Brier Bush, Ian Mac Laren
has immortalized the work of a DEVOTED
country doctor in the Highlands of Scot
land. Some day letus hope that the
country editor. his trials and troubles,
his devotion to ideal, his sacrifice to the
dignity and honor of hia profession, and
his earnest lahors- for his community,
will be embalmed by some genius as
worthy as Mac Laren.
