Mr. Joe Reese, one Of the newspa-
per correspondents at Tallahassee,
notes Secretary Roonav's visit to the
capital as follows
J. D. Rooney little Annie Rooney.
as he is Familiarity known has been
in Tallahassee lobbying for the pass
age of the bill extending the city linn
its of Ocala TO take in Silver Springs.
The object of this proposed extern
sion is to give Ocala the chance to
have municipal docks The idea is
taking hold-this municipal dock idea
but it seems a little stretch of the
charter lights to extend the city limits
so far-Silver Springs being five
miles from Ocala proper. Yet Rooney
doesn't think so, and he thinks that
the bill vii get through. He reasons
that with municipal docks Ocala can
be made a distributing center-101
miles from Jacksonville and 10 miles
from Tampa, and the largest town in
tervenine.
Another bill that Rooney is interest
ed in on the reverse side is the crea-
ton of Bloxham county. Judge Jas
per Willis is trying to take off slice
from Marion, and Rooney says he
shan't have it. That part of Marion
and some parts of Levy, with perhaps
additional territory, is to form the
county Of Bloxham if the county is
ever created. but it will not be at this
session. not if the opinion Of the eX-
perienced observer of legislative af-
fairs counts for anything. County di-
vision is done for, and the division
lists for BloXham county really do not
expect TO see it carry at this session.
They hope to create a sentiment in ia
vor Of it, and come back next time
and get it. That is usually the way
Sometimes it is different, but that
has been the usual history If Ocala
can get her city limits extended to
Silver Springs she will be happy, and
the county division matter is not wor-
rying the delegation much.

ever seen. They are what are known
as the white" Bermuda, and are so
transparent that one can almost see
through them. They are very mild
and delightful to the taste. The Ber-
muda onions made plutocrats of the
growers of them in certain sections

believe that they would do the same
thing here for the growers if they
would pay the same attention to their
cultivation. DR.. Boozer, president OF
