ATTEND THE BOARD
MEETING THIS EVENING

The first meeting for September of
the Board Of Trade will be held at
the courthouse this evening. AS
the last meeting in August was pass
led, considerable amount of bust
ness has stacked up, SO all the mem
bers who are not unavoidably kept
away should try to be present.
1t is very apparent to all that the
Marion County Board of Trade is
doing good work. Scarcely more
than a year since it woke up, and
reorganized, it has melted an i'm
mense amount of improvement, and
advertised Ocala and Marion county
as they have never been advertised
| before. The work has fairly begun
and the first-fruits of the rewards are
| beginning to appear. Let's keep
right on with the good work, and the
further it goes the larger and faster
in proportion it will grow. No man
unacquainted with the subject could
Imagine in how many ways a live

board are surprised to see the many

ed and its help needed.
There is a whole lot of credit tC
the secretary, who is always on tht
LOB, and the governors, who give u
so much of their own time to help

the steady-going and steady-payint
frank and file, who are seldom in tht
iimelight, but furnish the sinews o
war.

ANOTHER BANK FOR OCALA

The Metropolitan Company, Bank
ers, opened its doors Monday for the
first days business. Although the
opening day was not advertised Or
even announced, it was a splendid
success and the deposits at the close
of business surprised and greatly
pleased the officers. The opening
was not decided on until the after
noon before. Had the company no.
tilted it's friends all over the county
of the opening date the deposits
would have been many times as large
as they were.
The Metropolitan Company, Bank
ers, has a capital stock of $25, 900,
! fully paid. It's owns the big, hand
some and we'll constructed building
and banking office where it is do

The company is composed of the

and industry, for they have made
what they have and made it here,

More and more the colored people
Throughout the South are becoming
Iself-sustaining and going ahead, do
ing things, developing industries
promoting companies, helping them
selves and their race. Nowhere il
the state, or in the South, as to that
lis there a better element of colored
!people than in Marion and the ad
Looming counties and there is not &
better location for a banking insti
tuition for their assistance than il
Ocala.
This bank, with the confidence
that the officers will enjoy with theil
race, will do great good among tht
colored people of Central Florida
land will do more than any one ,thinS
to cultivate a saving spirit among
the less proVident ones, and be al

accounts and add to them from time

Is HARRY FLOYD IN ERROR :?

The dispatch from Harry Floyd to
the Pensacola News, rewired to the
Tampa Times and Jacksonville Me-
tropolis, regarding an error in re-
districting the state, was read by the
subscribers to those papers in this
city with much interest this morn
ing.
So far as the evidence at hand
goes, Floyd is correct. The law as
issued to the people is just as he
says. If the copy of the bill in the
state records is similar, the law de-
feats itself, or at most will not ap
ply to the next election; and the
congressional districts of Florida
stand just like they have since 1898.
This keeps Marion county in the
first district, and makes it necessary
to again elect a congressman at large.
Marion county is not worried
about the matter. Uncle Steve Spark
man has always been popular here,
and Claude L'Engle, congressman at
large, who carried the county about
two to one in the last primary, has
lost none of his popularity.
In regard to the matter, the jack
sonville Metropolis of the 9th says:
Discovery of the nullity of the
law creating four instead of three
congressional districts in the state
startled local politicians when the
fact was announced by Metropolis re-
porters, and the prospect of special
legislative session for the purpose OF
remedying the defect was immediate
~ discussed.
There is much speculation as to
whether the special session will De
called, or the old order of things al
lowed to stand. making it necessary
for Claude LEngle to run again
from the state at large.
If the act is void, said Speaker
Ion L. Farris, the old order oi
things will have to stand. l do not
see how the supreme court could cor
rect the error, if any error has really
ben made Neither do / see how the
mistake could be made, as every
member of the legislature was deeply
interested in the reorganization Of
til congressional districts, and watch
ed the measure closely. l believe thu
original bill will be found to be cor
rect in every feature.
Representative Harry GolsteiT
=and S. A Ogilvie of Nassau, who Wis
dted the Metropolis office, and Repre-
sentative st. Elmo Acosta of Duval
expressed the same opinion.
Representative Ogilvie declared
that he did not see how a mistake
could have been made, and express
ed the opinion that the bill had beer
tempered with by unknown parties
after being enacted.
Speaker Farris called attention tt
the fact that the new law, if effective
would not 70 into force till March 4
after the next general election, which
will be held in November of mex
year, thereby leaving districts as the,
have been until the congressional
races are run again. Therefore, an
other contest from the state at larg
would be necessary under any am
all circumstances.

Mothers Advice
To Her Daughter
A Real Live Doll to Fondle Is Womans'
Greatest Happiness.

One of the most important matters about
which women concern themselves Is their
future status as a grandmother. And she
is wisdom itself who knows of or learns
of that famous remedy, Mothers Friend.
This Is an external application for the
abdominal muscles and breasts. 1t GER
tainly has wonderful influence, allays all
fear, banishes all pain, is a most grateful
encouragement to the young, expectant
mother, and permits her to go through the
period happy in mind, free in body and
thus destined to anticipate woman's great
est happiness as nature intended she should.
The action of Mothers Friend makes the
muscles free, plant and responsive to ex-
pansion. Thus all strain and tension upon
the nerves and llgaments is avoided, and.
in place of period Of discomfort and con-
sequent dread, 1t is a season Of calm repose
and joyful expectation.
There Is no nausea, no morning sick
ness, no nervous twitching, none Of that
constant strain known to SO many women,
hence Mothers Friend is really one Of the
greatest blessings that could be devised.
This splendid and certain remedy can be
had Of any druggist at $1.00 bottle, and
Is sure 10 prove Of inestimable value. not
only upon the mother, but upon the health
and future Of tho child. Write to Hradneld

An imported Milan, which is espe
