vile and Ocala. which the boards Of
trade of these three places. also

faithfully and efficiently for the last
three months,
The schedule will go into effect
Nov Is, just al the right time tn
help out the two big fairs, one for
Alachua and the ether for Marion.
and Sumter counties.
While the railroad has stoutly
contested putting on this additional
train, the Star hopes and has reason
to believe that it will pay it well. as
we'll as be a great convenience to the
people
Another train greatly needed. is.
the one from Orlando to Oea1a in the
morning and from Ocala to Orlando
in the evening. The Star respectfully
advises the boards of trade of Ocala
and Bushnell to go after the Sea-
board in the same style of the cam
paign that has landed the Ocala-
PaFatka train, and perhaps they will
succeed. Nothing like trying.
