Complete returns from the country
districts. including Seward, Cherry and

final result on the rae for governor is
still In doubt and will continue TO be

figure so far represents twelve com.

Little doubt exists concerning the

MEX|CANS BOUGHT
LAND IN MARION
Trio of Latin-Americans Have Pur-
chased Big Farm ON the Shady
Grove Road

For. the past two weeks three Mex
lean citizens from Aguas Calientes,
Mexico, almost thousand miles from
the border, have been in the city look
ing over the different farm proper
ties that are for sale, with the inten-
ton of buying themselves future
home, that they may move to and
spend their lives in peace.
The men are Mr.. j. J. Jirash, who
speaks English fluently, and is an ed
ucated gentleman and his brother,
Salim Jirash, and Mr.. Gabriel Nasri.
Neither of the latter two speak Eng
lish.
The men are merchandising in
Mexico, but are taxed and harrassed
till their lives are anything but a
pleasure and their business no longer
profitable.
They have at last found and pur-
chased farm that suits them per-
fectly, after looking the country ov-
er thoroughly.
They bought today, the 323 acre
farm, six miles out on the Shady
Grove road, owned by Mr.. James L.
Adams, and one of the best farm
properties in that section, half of
which is in cultivation, with ample
fencing, water and buildings, as well
as a residence All of the live stock
goes with the place and the proper
| ty will be delivered to the new own
ers as soon as Mr.. Adams harvests
his crop.
The Mexican gentlemen left this
afternoon for their long trip home,
and will send couple of men by the
first of the year to take charge of the
farm and expect to return themselves
as soon as their business can be clos
ed up and their investments there,
which are quite extensive, closed up.
This will be within year.
Mr.. G. A. Camp, of Oklawaha
made the trade for the owners and
the Mexicans.
We are glad to see foreign people
and foreign money coming into Ma
rion county. We need more of both.
1t will be remembered that a short
time ago, an Austrian came to Ocala
from Mexico, where he had been for
a number of years with his Mexican
serving man, and bought a little farm
at the northwest corner of the city
where he is now located and is we'll
satisfied.

BELLEVIEW

Belleview, Aug. 30-The school

miles nearer Jacksonville. With the
development of the water route from
here to Jacksonville, however, Ocala
would obtain lower rates than Gaines
vile, and would be able to undersell
the merchants of that city.
The Strengthening and deepening of
the Silver and Oklawaha rivers will
not benefit this city greatly if there is
no freight line. A boat line from
Leesburg to Jacksonville would not
help Ocala very much, unless the boat
be common carrier. Leesburg,
doubtless, will establish a cooperative
line similar to the one attempted here.
Ocala therefore, must have a CO.
operative line eventually, and the sue
cessful operation of it now would be a
strong puller for an appropriation to
improve the waterway. The first Dues
ton the government engineers ask is,
What is the volume of traffic on the
river? So that not even the govern
ment will help Ocala unless OcaIa
helps herself.
Consider some of Ocala's rates as
compared with those of other places
in the state. It is not necessary to
consider all. The general proposition
of one rate to Jacksonville and Tam
pa, plus another into Ocala, stands,
whether commodities are shipped from
the Ohio river crossings, or from the
east, by rail or by water.
From Cincinnati, for example, the
rate on commodities known as class 1,
covering dry goods, is 95 cents. The
rate for this class from Jacksonville
to Ocala is 62 cents, making the rate
from Cincinnati to Ocala $1.57. The
rate from Jacksonville to Anthony on
this class of goods is 56 cents. 1t is
easy to see what position the Ocala
merchant is placed in with regard to
doing business in Anthony.
Dry goods shipped into Anthony by
way of Ocala would take rate of
S1.81. And what is true of dry goods
is true of hardware, crockery, sugar,
rice and other commodities.
The commodities just mentioned can
be shipped from the Ohio river cross
ings, through Ocala, to Tampa, at
rates lower than the rates 20 Ocala.
The rate on class stuff, covering
hardware, from Cincinnati to Tampa
is S1.23. From Cincinnati to Ocala
the rate is $1.38. The rate on class 2
stuff from Jacksonville to Tampa is 43
cents, and from Jacksonville to Ocala
is So cents.
Class 1 commodities take a rate of
48 cents from Jacksonville to Gaines
vile, as against rate of 62 cents
from Jacksonville to Ocala. And with
the IA cents difference Gainesville
merchants can get well into Ocala ter
ritory. The rate on hardware from
Jacksonville to Ocala is So cents. To
Gainesville it is only 46 cents.
Glass commodities can be shipped
from Jacksonville to Sanford for 50
cents. Sanford is about 125 miles
south of Jacksonville, as compared
with Ocala's 102 miles. But Sanford
gets it's rate because of water compe-
tition.
Palatka, having water competition,
can get into Ocala territory withou-
difficulty.
Following will be found table Civ
ing six class rates, which show the
position in which Ocala is placed:
