ALL ABOARD FOR BLITcHToN

Tomorrow is the day set apart for
the building of the hard road from
Ocala to the Levy county line, via
Blitchton.
Secretary Rooney has been mar
shaling his forces and has them well
in hand, and it is believed that OctO-
Der 16 will be a red letter day." and
will mark a new epoch in good roads
building. not only for the county, but
for the entire state of Florida.
The ladies have been enlisted in
the movement. and are preparing a
dinner that for bountifulness, variety
and deliciousness will become his
toric in Marion county annals.
Everybody is going to take part in
the great work of construction.
Judge Bullock and all the lawyers
of the Ocala bar. headed by Judge
McConathy: Mayor Robertson, and
the members of the city council; Re-
corder Izlar. Judge William E. Smith.
Sheriff Galloway and all the court
house officials. and all the merchants
and artisans of the city are going to
arm themselves with pick, spade and
shovel, and answer Secretary Roo
ney's roll call at sunrise tomorrow
morning.
The county commissioners. the city
council and the various road over
seers are to be on hand, and will
head the great demonstration. like
the wood choppers and pontoon build
ers of an army. and will set the pace
for the spade and shovel brigade to
follow.
DR.. Bitch and Mr.. Jack McCully
were in yesterday, and we judge that
the whole country side is alive to the
great undertaking, and unless all
signs fail the Blitchton road will be-
come celebrated in song and story.
"a long pull. strong pull. and a
pull altogether" is the slogan.
Don't disappoint Secretary Rooney.

THE DEATH OF Mr.. PARROT

The Times-Union pays a magni6-
cent tribute to the memory of Mr. Jo
seph r. PARROT. 1t was so well de
served and is so beat. ifully true that
we copy it in full below:
The death of Joseph r. Parrot
president of the Florida East Coast
railway, will be felt as a loss to all
the people of the state, and to many
as personal affliction. Immediately
after leaving college he came to Flor
ida, and has since been of us. and
with us. answering in his devotion.
and glad that he could give himself
and his all to her No native son could
give higher loyalty and no native son
could have served her as has this son
of Maine. Ali the years of his bust
ness life have been employed in build
ing here a work of national import
and value: if it be said that he could
not have accomplished so much with
out AIR. Flagler. it is equally true that
Mr.. Flagler could not have accom-
plished so much without Joseph r.
Porrott. But the life of Mr. Parrot
was as TRULY given to the completion
of the East Coast extension as was
that of Mr. Meredith-both sealed
their devotion with their lives. In
the material world we have a monu-
ment TO testify for these kindred
souls and Florida, when she is her
self. cannot forget them. but no ma
teriaI monument can express the fun
measure of the world of such men
they cannot be bounded by this world
nor the terms of its speech.
For the spirit and soul of Joseph
r. PARROT shone always through the
body of his work: it was his TO awake
the best in all that came in contact
with him as the touch of Moses drew
the living water of life from the bare
was so broad that he gave room for
every man to work beside him; he
was so loyal that none associated
with him could be false. Provided
the intention was good. he never com
planned that another failed, and his
Judgment was severe to none but him
self. His friends will sorrow without
ceasing. but not without hope. know
ing that for such man all must be
well. Perhaps it is most fitting that
he should not linger long behind his
chief: in their love for Florida they
were as one. and in death they are
not divided"

There were really two packages tied
together. In one was a book printed
in a strange language, supposed to
be that of Roumania, and with an out
fit of peculiar tools, supposed to be
for working in ornamental leather,
and in the other package were pillow
slips, table covers, towels and bureau
ornaments, worked in real lace, with
the initials, Il. S." There was also
pair of top boots of very soft, fine
leather.

quite a bonanza.
