He is for Florida first, last and all

A MOST CREDITABLE COMPANY

The Star takes pleasure in BOOST
ing any local company that is doing
well and sharing its part of the work
of building up greater Ocala-be
that company promoted by white
men or colored.
One of the very prosperous organ
izations of the city is the Metropoli-
tan Realty e Investment Company,
organized by few Of our leading
colored business men three years
ago The company has done SO we'll
that we publish the report of its re-
cent annual meeting and take just
pride along with its promoters, in
the success that the company has at
tanned. The result will encourage
other members of the colored race,
not SO successful Or thrifty as these
men, to invest their savings and &C
cumulate more to invest in the really
meritorious enterprises organized
and managed by men of the colored
race.
The promoters of the Metropolitan
Company are doing good work in
the city and these results mean more,
in a broad sense, to the race than the
mere fact of the dollars and cents
that have been made for the stock
holders.
This paper is glad to encourage
them and to wish for them even bet
ter results in the future for their
company.

Gratis hai compelled Speer to ally
himself with the republicans, and
his endorsement Of negro as post
master at Athens turned many OF his
old friends against him. He was an
pointed federal Judge by President
Arthur IN 1883. and confirmed by
the Senate IN spite of a bitter fight
made against him by Southern dem
ocrats, who considered him a rene
gade. Speer, however. has made a
good judge. The justice Of his de-
cfsions and his unfailing tendency to
he lenient toward the weak and un-
fortunate have given him national
reputation. He has certainly made
some errors, AMI it is possible that
age and illness have driven him to
the use OF drugs, which may have
warped his judgment and caused
him to do some Of the things alleged
against him. The procee iings
against him may not result in his
impeachment, but they will certain
ly cause him to retire
