Mrs. w. IL. Veal, after spending
two weeks very pleasantly in Oca]n,
returned to her Cotton Plant home
last Saturday.
Mrs. L. C. Bell returned to her
home at Groom last Friday, after Wis

Mr. T.. w. Simpson left last Mon

a building contract.
Mr.. Alfred Harroun is now enjoying
surf bathing at Daytona.
Mr.. Frank Morris returned last
week after pleasant visit in fine
southern part of the state.
Mrs. w. M. Barco, formerly OF Mar

her relatives here giving glowing
description of Fort Myers and her
trip on the Caloosahatchee river
Instead of consolidating, we hGpe
that the Cotton Plant and Homeland

during the ensuing term.
Mr.. Frank Morris, Mr.. Henry Wood
ward and Miss Carrie Barco were
guests of Miss Durge last Sunday aft
ernom.
1t is a sad sight to see young,
able-bodied white man hauled into
court, charged with stealing hogs We
hope that on account of his wife and
his parents he can clear himself Of
the charge. There is a big demand
for hogs and buyers are ready to pay
cash, but what is money when we
barter cur character and bring sOr
row to a lowing father and mother
and blight the life of young wife?

7 ocAI.A, FLORIDA. FRIDAY. AUGUST IA,
A NEW AND WE HOPE A SUCCESS
FuL DEPARTURE

Mr.. Harvey Clark, the young and
progressive proprietor of the o. K.
Teapot Grocery. has adopted what
we hope will prove successful de-
parture in an effort to build up trade.
He is not waiting for trade to be
thrust upon him but is going out
after it by adopting new and up-to-
date methods.
In word he is taking time by the
forelock and is making an extra
ordinary effort to build up mail or
der business.
In the Weekly Banner of today the
young proprietor prints full page
price list in our advertising columns
thus showing to his customers, ex-
actly what each item in his entire
stock costs and how they compare
with prices of competitive firms.
For every ten dollars worth of
trade sent into his store he agrees
to deliver the same, thus saving the
outside customer all costs of delivery.
Mr.. Clark advises that neighbors
get together and combine orders so
as to get the benefits of this free de-
livery as every nickle saved these
times is a nickle gained and they
soon run up into dollars.
Read the price list, make up your
selections and forward to him at once
as prices of all kinds of foodstufrs
are advancing rapidly since the be-
ginning of the European war.

ENTERTAINMENT At sPARR

A most attractive program of
readings was given. Thursday even
ing. Aug. 6. at Sparr, by Miss Isabel
Burton of Spar, graduate OF Emer-
SON College of oratory at Boston.
Mass. and one of the most popular
members Of her class, both among
students and faculty.
Miss Burton is particularly able in
character portugal and is able TO
brings the laughter or force the tears
at her will. One OF the best things
that may be said OF her work is that
she does not overdo il. The large
audience which was present to hear
her insisted that she give encores to
most of her numbers.
Her program was as follows:
1.-Recitation, Imitation of Mary
Elizabeth"
2.-Recitation, "Courtship Under
Difficulties
3.-Music.
4.-Recitation. "The Object Of
Love-"
5.-Playlet, THE Prodigal Son."
6.-Music.
7.-Three poems. (a). Three Lit
tie Chestnuts." (b). "Why Betty
Didn't Laugh" (c). Nobody Cares
for Me-"
S.-Playlet, "The Widows Propos-
al"
While in Boston Miss Burton was
very popular among the younger
social set. She was often seen at
social events at Harvard university
of Massachusetts, Institute of Tech
nology, and had many friends at
Wellesley college, Simmons college,
Radcliffe college, and the other girls
colleges about Boston.

an unanimity of sentiment in favor
of the same. That he, himself, is
heartily in favor of an union station
Mr.. J. NJ. Meffert said that he did
not see any special reason for the
union station, and thought arguments
should be shown to the commission
why the people of Ocala want an un
ion station.
The editor of this paper said that
he is heartily in favor of the propos
ed union station. That many of the
progressive cities in the United States
have union stations and the same ar.
gument that causes other cities to
have union stations would apply here.
Mr.. R. L. Martin opposed the union
station and said that he thought that
the city would derive larger benefits
from separate stations, as now exist
ing.
Mr.. d. E. McIver said that he IA
vored a union station, and believes
that eight out of every ten citizens of
Ocala are in line with him, and that
the principal opposition against it is
advanced mainly by those whose bus
mess and property would be more or
less effected by the removal of the
present stations.
DR.. Davis of Irvine was present and
said that he was from the outside
looking in, and the other speakers
were on the inside looking out. That
If the station did not cost the citizens
of Ocala anything he could not see
why there should be any objections to
it. That he recently had occasion to
take sick child through Jackson
vile and if he had had to take it
across the city from one depot to an
other it could have caused a great
deal of distress and inconvenience.
Mr.. Baxter earn thought that we
ought to invite the railroad commits
sioners to meet with us and hear a
discussion of the matter.
On motion of MIR. Ashley it was f.
nally decided to have the board of
trade circulate petitions-one for and
one againts the proposition, and to
be governed by the one securing the
largest number of signatures.

over a dozen jolly young boys and
girls Tuesday night, was given in
compliment to Miss Elizabeth Nc

This has been fully illustrated by
the phenomenal success of Alex. T.
Stewart and more than an hundred
others in the metropolis of the New
World: Marshall Field in the hus-
Ting city of Chicago; John Wanna
maker in the supposedly sleepy city
of Philadelphia; Cohen Brothers in
Jacksonville.
II is as surely to be illustrated In
Ocala by Marcus Frank as the stars
are to shine.
The names of those we have men
toned were not the "Micawbers"

They were the "opportunists" who
achieved success by wooing 1t and
pursuing il.
We have just had a short crop. the
shortest in our history; owing to the
wholly unexpected war in Europe
phosphate mines are closing down,
turpentine shipments have ceased.
and there is break in the continuity
of trade.
Under these circumstances most of
our business men are hedging and
some of them are hedging on our
newspapers.
Not so with Marcus Frank. He Is
doubling his store space. He expects
to enlarge and not to curtail his bus
mess. He has faith in the future of
ocala, and is going to do his part in
keeping trade active.
He deserves to have his hands held
up. He deserves success because, In
laudable, legitimate way he is striv-
ing to achieve IL. He is doing this
week what we do not remember any
Ocala merchant to have ever done be-

vertisement in the Weekly Banner.
He is having ten thousand circu-
lars printed in our job department,
and Is going to circulate the same in

lNTERESi ING MEETING OF THE
BOARD OF TRADE

A very interesting session of the
Marion county board of trade was
held in the board of trade rooms last
| night. There was quite a fine at
tendance.
Secretary Rooney read the series
nf resolutions passed by the board
OF county commissioners, urging our
members of congress to restore to
the rivers and harbors bill the appro-
,pEiation for the Oklawaha river and
1.-the upper lakes.
The secretary said that an invita-.
tion had been extended by the board
tof county commissioners to our mem.
bers of congress to invite the mem
;bers of the rivers and 'flarbors com
mittee to take a trip ON the new boat,
going over the entire route SO as to
be able to Judge of the vast iimpor-
tance TO the interior section of this
astate, covering a shore line, as it does,
of at least seven hundred and fifty
miles, all of which will be immense
ly benefited by this project.
Secretary Rooney stated to the
board ff1at all opposition has been
withdrawn to the proposed schedule
of running a morning train over the
Atlantic Coast line from Palatka to
Oca1a by the way of Gainesville, and
it is now up to the railroad commits
sioners to either accede to the wishes
of the people living along the route or
else comply to the wishes Of the rail-
road company, who are opposed to
the proposition.
Secretary Rooney read letter
from w. J. Craig. general manager of
the Atlantic Coast Line, stating that
their main passenger trains next win
ter would run via Newberry and Dun
Mellon instead of through Ocala to st.
Petersburg, but that Ocala would be
given three passenger trains daily
anyway.
The secretary called attention to
the manner in which the J. p. Bell
Printing Company is advertising Ma
rion county in a booklet, which said
company is distributing in multitude
nous lots. It is a splendid advertise
ment for Marion county.
The secretary also called attention
to the fact that Superintendent Phil
lips of the Seaboard Air Line rail-
way favors the proposition of building
union passenger. station for Ocala,
and that his railroad would do it's
part towards this end, and that the
reason it had not built new passen-
ger station is because the company is
awaiting the action of the people of
Ocala and the railroad commission to-
know whether or not this union sta
tion is to be built.
The matter of the union depot was
then discussed by various board Of
trade members present.
The original petition circulated in
1913 was shown. tscontained large
number of signatures.
DR.. Chace, former president Of the
board. stated that he believed that the
reason the station had not already
been built was because Of the lack OF

They had a pleasant afternoon to

inning.

FOR DELICATE CHILDREN
A Mothers Letter to Mothers

Mrs. Z. W. Cooper of Bloomfield,
n. j.. says: My child, seven years old,
had a bad cold and was weak and quite
run down in health. She had been in
this condition for about six weeks when
] began giving her Vinol. 1t was a
wonderful help to the child, breaking
up her cold quickly and building up her
strength beside. | have also found Vinol
a most excellent tonic for keeping up
the children's strength during siege of
whooping cough"
Vinol is wonderful combination of
two world-famed tonics-the medicinal,
body building elements of cod liver oil
and iron for the blood, therefore it is
perfectly safe medicine for children,
because it is not patent medicine,
everything in it is printed on every pack
age, so mothers may know what they
are giving their little ones.
Therefore we ask every mother of
weak, sickly or ailing child in this viein-
ity to try Vinol on our guarantee. Red
