SUMMERFIELD PEOPLE DESERVE
SUPPORT IN THEIR EFFORTS
To the Editor ocala Banner:

To the Editor Ocaia Banner:
After an appeal to our people to CO.
operate with and assist our neigh
bors in the Summerfielt5 section in
their good road working, made a
personal inspection of what had
been done on Friday.
| found Mr.. Gordon with the
county convicts building what he al
ways does, good road. He begun
work where the road intersects the
Ocala and Summerfield road, going
west to the Orange avenue road.
The entire distance has been staked
of and each side of the road plowed
up.
Com missioner Joe Davis was right
in the midst of the work and on the
job, directing the blasting and get
ting out lime. Near the end that
intersects the avenue another force
was hauling phosphate and bringing
up this end of the work.
wonder how many of our citi-
zens have stopped to consider what
this hard road means to Ocala, to
Marion county and TO those living
contiguous thereto? Everyone is in
terested; it gives a better outlet to
transportation for the products of
the farmers; q hard road to Ocala,
the place where every citizen has to
come, the clearing house of all the
activities of our grand old county
Every time another mile of hard
road is built it adds another link to
the great chain that binds us to sue
cess and keeps our county at the
front, as having more miles of hard
road than any other county in Flor
ida.
Now what | want to drive home to
every man in Marion county is this
fact: Are you not interested in the
welfare of the whole county? Every
other section than your own is just
as necessary in the makeup of the
best agricultural county in the
state; they are your neighbors. What
we want and need is a stronger man
Hesitation of interest in our whole
county. with standing and pulling
together that will solidify and make
better every condition.
regret I found so few of our
native Floridians out on the road
work. The larger portion were
men who have only recently cast
their lot with us-some six, others
twelve and eighteen months: yet,
they, with their teams, are working
early and late to try and complete
this link in what will form a thirty
mile belt through az good a section

as there is in our county. A few OF
the new corners, / regret, have had
instilled in them what many of the
old settlers say: well, / pay road
tax; let the commissioners work the
roads. They forget the Lord helps
those who help themselves. If ey-
cry section Of the county needing
hard roads would combine and fol-
low the lead of these citizens and
put in week or more at building
their roads, soon our entire county
would be network of good roads
and this would reduce the millage
for road tax. Be public-spirited
Don't be tight wad and unprogres-
sive. What helps one part of Mar
ion county Is beneficial to every
other section
These staunch citizens in connec-
ton with Commissioner Davis and
the county forces will put in all the
next week in their endeavor to COM
plete this road Joe has opened up
ample pits of material. What they
need is men and teams TO help.
Ocala should send her quota of
both. Will you dc 1t? Get together
for ono days work at least Think
of 1t, from sixty to seventy-five men
from this district were on hand on
Blitchton road day. They came
fifteen miles to get there and | sent
them home after hard days work.
Now. in the name of reason and
right both Ocala men and men along
the Blitchton road should fall in
line. Send teams, go yourself or
pay man to represent you. Men
of Ocala do your duty. These peo-
pie are our people, they trade with
our merchants, help keep up every
interest of our county. Then let us
join them next week for one day at
least. Who will respond first? Let
us get the big auto truck, load it up
with men, hitch up our teams, take
our noon lunch, light out and give
them one of the best days work we
know how.
Wake up and let us make Thurs
day. December 18th. another day in
the history of Ocala and Marion.
Hurry up and we will be of at 6
a. m. Thursday and down at work
by seven. Who will tender their
automobiles to take the workers out?
Telephone 381 quick, and let us rail-
Iy now for Thursday. Go out Orange
avenue until you come to the new
road across to Summerfield. fall in
and let US show our appreciation of
what these people are doing.
