an Ocala real estate agent has in

something. Sometimes, new corners
make the mistake of trying to es-
tablish homes on soil that with
drainage will grow immense crops,
but is not suited for residences, and
then again they will try to raise
sugarcane or celery on land where
they should plant cowpeas or locate
chicken ranches, but if they use dis
cretion they can obtain good results

STEEL CARS FOR THE SEABOARD

The passenger department OF the
Seaboard has issued the following to
it's agents:
When the statement of the fact
was made by the Seaboard Air Line
Railway that the six new steel din
ing cars placed in service during the
early part of the summer of 1913
were far superior to any others that
have ever been constructed, it was
difficult to conceive of the decided
improvements in the short space OF
about six months; but the six addi-
tional cars turned out by the Pull
man Company during the last week
of the year 1913 embrace all of the
good qualities of the preceding six
cars and have a number of decided
improvements, so that we feel conf
dent in representing them as having
set a standard for other lines to fol
low for years to come.
The Cars Are All Steel, Safe and
Sanitary
The kitchen and pantries are Sc
commodious and so we'll arranged
| that the dining car service will be
prompt, efficient and the best in the
| country.
