people of Ocala shouldn't let your
firm into the city. A number of years
ago, when the city bought the plant
and secured charter, it only secured
charter to furnish light. There was
then not an electric motor in the city.
The city has no charter today to fur
nish electric current for power. If we
let you in for two years trial, and at
the end pf two years desire to resume
our own business, you can go before
the courts and plead that we have no
authority to furnish current to fac
tories, or even to elevators or electric
fans. / don't say that you would do
such a thing hope that you, being
far more interested in the welfare and
good name of your city than | am,
would not-but would you give busi-
ness rival such chance at you? All
is fair in love and war, and business
is war without any Hague conven-
tions.
So, all these things, and some others
taken into consideration, believe,
Mr.. Florida Power Company, that l
would prefer that the city go ahead
and build and operate its own plant,
instead of accepting your offer. /
have inquired around among my fell
low stockholders, and have so far not
found half dozen who were of the
other way of thinking.
Respectfully,
One of the 224.

BEN K. THRowER, JR.

The news of the death Tuesday of
Mr.. Benjamin K. Thrower, Jr., of
Tampa, will come as shock to his
many friends in Ocala. The funeral

odist church, officiating.

DIR. KRISTIENSEN
GOING BACK NORTH

DR.. A Kristiensen and family, who
have been residing out on the Silver
Springs boulevard for the past year,
will leave about the first of the month
for their former home in Wisconsin.
DR.. Kristiensen is a druggist but was
compelled to give up his business on
account of Ill health. His health is
now restored and he will again engage
in business. He has sold his pretty
little farm to Mr.. ]. E. Baxter, lately
of Kansas City, who with his wife and
two children will reside on the place.
DR.. Kristiensen says he can testify
to the merits of advertising, as he had
enough inquiries from his ad. in the
Star to sell his car half dozen times,
and from the hand bills distributed to
sell his household goods several times
over.
