THE FUTURE

The futule for this section of Flor
ida seems bright to us. The deepen
ing of the Oklawaha river from its
mouth to it's source to a depth of six
feet, means much for the navigation
of that stream. If this improvement
causes traffic and travel to multiply
as we now confidently hope, it will
demand a still further improvement,
and the day may not be far distant
when we shall see it navigated by
ships of the sea.
Ocala has already voted for bonds
for the erection of two school build
| ings, and their construction is only
question of time They will meet
an immensely pressing want, and will
add to the civic beauty of our city
We still hope for that brick freight
depot of the Atlantic Coast Line rail-
way that is so much needed by our
business interests, but which has
been so long deferred.
Then, some of our more sanguine
and patient citizens still cling to the
hope that we shall some day have
that promised union passenger sta
| ton.
Then, that civic center is crystaliz.
| ing and taking on more definite shape.
If the lot is purchased by the city the
construction of a beautiful building
for Carnegie library will immediate
ly begin, and the city hall and fire
station will follow in due course of
| time.
Now, that we have got our congress.
men active, and have caused the in
terstate railway commission to give
us listening ear to our appeals. the
probability is that we can get our out
going and incoming freight rates equi-
tably adjusted, and when that is done
this section will no longer remain a
wilderness, but will blossom as the
rose.
Let us be of good hope and courage
for there is already a rift in the
clouds.

LITTLE ONE PASSES AWAY

After an illness of a week or more.
suffering from a complication of stom-
ach trouble and pneumonia, Blair
Francis. the little eighteen-months-oId
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Paul A. Durand OF
this city, passed to his Maker Wed
nesday morning. The death of the
little boy took place at the hospital.
where he had teen moved on Mon
day in the hope that something more
could be done to save the little life.
Every effort was made, but the ten
derest care and solicitude proved una
vailing.
In the death of their only child Mr..
and Mrs. Durand are not alone in
their sorrow, as their friends sympa-
thize with and feel very deeply for
them in their sadness.
The funeral of the little boy was
held yesterday afternoon from the Du-
! rand home, and the little body was
inferred in the old cemetery by the
graves of Mr.. Durand's parents,
It's only little grave" they said:
only a little child that's dead"
And so they carelessly turned away
| From the mound the spade had made
that day.
All! they did not know how deep a
shade
That little grave in our home had
made.
know that the coffin was narrow and
small,
One yard would have served for an
ample pail;
And one man in his arms could have
borne away
The rosewood and its freight of clay:
But l know that darling hopes were
Beneath that little coffin lid.
/ know that mother stood that day
With folded hands by that form of
clay;
| know that burning tears were hid
Meath the dropping lash and aching
And I know her lip and cheek and
brow
Were almost as white as her baby's
now.
IT'S little grave; but oh! have care.
For worldwide hopes are buried
there;
And we, perhaps, in coming years.
10
tears,
How much of light, how much OF joy
Is buried with an only boy.

BEAUTIFUL AFTERNOON RECEP-
TON

Mrs. Henry Keidel, Mrs. Christian
AK and Miss Daisy Keidel OF Baltl-
more, who are spending the winter IN
Ocala, gave the friends that they
have made since coming here a very
charming afternoon yesterday, invit-
ing a large number to be with them
from three to five o'clock, and their
delightful hospitality was thoroughly
enjoyed by large number of callers
during the receiving hours.
The pretty residence that they are
occupying was most attractively and
simply decorated with artistic ferns,
bamboo vines and lovely flowers eff
fectively placed about the rooms.
Mrs. AK and Miss Keidel received
very informally in the reception hall
and during the AFTERNOON mingled
with their guests in the different
rooms. They were very~ beautifully
gowned, the former in black lace
over white satin, and the latter in q
pretty pink dress.
Mrs. Keidel, who is somewhat OF
an invalid, looking very handsome in
black, was seated in the parlor, and
she extended a cordial welcome TO
the callers. Receiving in this room
were Mrs. Eugene Cox of Atlanta, AMI
Miss Bessie Bird Burleson of Texas,
both looking extremely lovely, the
former in white and the latter in cor
al charmeuse.
In the hall Miss Meta. Jewett, Mrs.
D. NJ Smith and Mrs. Allan Walkley
assisted.
In the dining room Mrs. Edward
Holder and Miss Lula Robertson sat
at the table, which was laid with il
lovely lace cloth and centered with
a big bowl of vari-colored, bright-fac-
ed pansies. Silver candlesticks with
lighted tapers also adorned the tables.
These ladies served the turkey salad
from the salad bowls at each end o.
the table, and the plates with the sal
ad, sandwiches, olives, almonds and
punch, the latter being served in the
dining room by Miss Alice Bullock,
were passed by Misses Lola Mcclure,
Dorothy Schneider, Hilda Budd AMI
Marguerite Porter.
The weather was just right for an
affair of this sort and the delightful
air of informality that prevailed dur
ing the receiving hours made this one
of the very loveliest receptions given
in Ocala this season.

ty-fve years ago and was first en-
ployed on the Baptist Witness by the
late Rev. ]. C. Porter, and has been
employed in the offices here and adj
jacent territory ever since then. He
was a thorough master of the art of
printing, and was an expert press
man. He was at one time in the SER
vice of the government in the printing
office at Washington. At the time OF
his death he was night foreman of
the Ocala Daily Banner, and We shall
long miss his patience, good nature
and faithfulness. He was a consci-
entious and loyal workman and true
and loyal friend.
Mr.. Gillen was married in this city
to Miss Mary Deubel in May, 1896, and
is survived by his wife and two sons,
p H., Jr., and Webster, both fine boys.

MAJOR IZLAR BUYS A HOME IN
SECOND WARD

Major L. T. Izlar, having sold his
large and spacious home in the first
ward to Colonel Robert F. Rogers,
with the understanding that he was
to surrender possession of it on March
1st, has not been idle since then in
selecting new home, and succeeded
yesterday in buying the residence of
Mr.. j. G. Ferguson, on the corner of
Fourth and Wenona streets. 1t is the
very place that the major wanted, as
it is almost directly opposite the resi-
dence of his son, DR.. A. L. Izlar. The
location is a very eligible one, and
the sale includes the lot adjoining,
which is one of the most desirable in
the city.
We congratulate Major Izlar upon
his good fortune, and hope that he
and Mrs. Izlar will live long time to
enjoy their new home.

MEETING OF THE BOARD or
TRADE

The regular meeting of the board
of trade was held in the board OF
trade rooms Wednesday night.
Secretary Rooney gave an interest
ing account of securing the express
rate convention, which will be- held
today, of the civic improvements rap
idly shaping themselves, which will
mean much for the development and
rapid growth of the city. of the posi-
bility of an electric car line to Silver
Springs, and a great deal of other
stimulating and interesting informa-
ton, but the most interesting part Of
his enthusiasm was his proposition to
go before the railroad commission
ers and demand a water basing rate
for the reason that we have mu-
nicipal docks at Silver Spring, which
is now part of the municipality of
Ocala
Mr. Rooney was authorized to go
before the railroad commissioners
and make this demand before that
body.
Mr. Twombley gave a most interest
/ ing and encouraging report OF Ocala's
commanding geographical position,
and his talk was most fiattering, and
was greatly enjoyed.
MIR. |. S. Field Of the Manufacture
ers' Record, also gave an impromptu
address, in which he bestowed many
rich encomiums upon our secretary
and Ocala, her admirable location and
splendid prospects.

BUSINESS FUTURE BRIGHT

Henry Clews, the financial expert,
has this to say in his review of bust
ness conditions:
Real improvement can be observ-
ed in the business situation as dem
onstrated in the slow but stady in
crease in demand for steel products,
also greater activity and steadiness
in all the textile markets. The out
look for the spring trade is generally
regarded as encouraging, and the uni
versal change from a spirit of ex-
IRENE peSsimism to one of rational
optimism is sure in time to lead to
still further improvements because
economic and business conditions at
home are essentially sound. OF course
there is more or less distrust of what
Washington may do during the ses-
sion proceeding a congressional cleo
ton, but much confidence is express
ed in the ability of President Wilson
to restrain radical tendencies.
Our foreign trade returns for 1913
showed exports valued at $2,4S4, 000,-
900, or $S5,0O0,000 ahead of the pre-
vious year, while our imports amount.
ed to $1,792. 100000, a decrease OF
$25,S00000. The excess of exports
for the year was 1922 100000, or SILL
100000 greater than the year before.
The present year will probably show
some decided changes in our foreign
trade, especially in imports, and no
alarm should be shown if the excess
of exports becomes less pronounced.
Foreign trade in the mass is nothing
but barter and would not be con-
tinued if not mutually profitable.
Great Britain always imports more
than she exports, and no one will
deny her phenomenal prosperity for
the last few years. Germany and
France also usually have an excess
of imports; and as our ability to ex-
port food products declines we may
not be surprised at a falling off in
excess exports, although our ship
ments of manufacturers are rapidly
growing.

The cost of such drag. varies from
SO to perhaps SO or $12. This
practically insignificant outlay will
secure an implement that will be OF
great service to the community for
at least three or four years. The
fact cannot be overlooked, however,
that skill In the use Of the drag is
Indispensable.
The angle that the runners make
with the center line OF the road, the
skew angle as it;might be called is an
important factor. For example, II
the dragging is done to increase the
crown of the road, the drag should
be. sufficiently skewed to discharge
all material as rapidly as It is col
lected on the runners. On the other
hand, the conditions may be such
that 1t is desirable to carry along
this material in order to deposit II
where there are depressions in the
roads surface. An intelligent oper-
ator will soon learn many ways Of
controlling the action Of the drag.
The length of the hitching chain, the
disposition Of the operators weight,
the time when the dragging Is done,
all these exert a marked influence
upon the result.
AS to the time for dragging. a
safe rule to follow is to drag the

Since the weather plays so import
