LET'S Get TOGETHER"

We do not know OF more un-
pleasant duty than to decide against
friends in a municipal election when
all the candidates for office are not
only friends but members of the same
political party and are advocates OF
the same general measures that enter
into the civic life of the municipal
ity.
We have been compelled to do this
and as the majority of the people
have spoken we hope that the min
ority will join hands and all work to-
gether in harmony for common end.
We hope that there will be no
more friction between the mayor and
the city council and that the next
year will mark an administration that
will be red letter" year in the an
mails of our city for civic improve
ments and growth along all lines.
We want our people to "get to-
gether' and pull together and live in
peace, amity and good will one with
the other.
Let's bury the Ratchet if there is
one to be buried and let's do it with
the true Indian sentiment that goes
with It. Let's chop down no cherry
trees. Let's preserve and conserve
everything that makes for the better
ment of the community. forgiving and
forgetting. letting the dead past
bury its dead and looking only and
singIy to the future.
Let's pull together for greater
ocala" making heroic efforts to utilize
our best assets in the best possible
manner.
Let's all smoke the pipe of peace
and be happy.

THE sPuc SOCIETY AND ocALA
MERCHANTS

The Spug society is rapidly gain
ing large memberships all over the
country. The letters in this words
P-U-G-stand for the society for
the prevention of useless giging.
Now, we all disapprove of giving use
less gifts to our friends and families
SO why not form ourselves into a
society for the purchasing of useful
gifts.
The merchants who advertise in
the Ocala Daily and Weekly Banner
are showing their business acumen
and are letting the people of Ocala
and the county know beforehand
what they have so they can make
their selection and there will be no
use whatever for the. purchasing of
purely useless and unnecessary gifts.
We hope that the people of Ocala
viii all patronize their home merch-
ants and those that advertise in the
Ocala Banner. Be Spug, read the
ads your home merchants in this
paper, make your selections and then
go and purchase the things that you
think will make everyone happiest.
Some things that may be regarded by
you as useless can be found very
useful by some other folks.
