Mr.. r. B. Bowers, former pastor of
the Christian church here, will fill the
pulpit every other Sunday, both morn
ing and evening throughout the re-
naming summer months. His first
engagement will be next Sunday, May
28th, at IL o'clock in the morning and
at 7:30 p. m.
Mr.. Bowers gave up his work in
Ocala to accept the position as prin-
ciple of the high school at Eustis
and it will be of interest to friends
to know that the school has just
closed with the most successful year
of its history and as result Mr.. Bow
ers has been reelected for four years
Although only young man of 2e
years, Mr.. Bowers introduced into
Ocala some of the highest and mobiles,
thought attaining toward Christian
progress. However, like all of the
deepest and most advanced thinkers
he was not fully appreciated because
not fully understood. The world, how.
ever, is making progress and there

TURNS CAR INTO
A TRAVELLING HOME

FL. S. French, of Muskegon, Mich,
has just reached his home after a
trip from Miami, Florida. Mr.. French
and his family made the long jour-
ney in leisurely fashion in a Dodge
Brothers motor car. The important
part of the story is the clever way in
which Mr.. French used his car as a
home for the tourists and not only en-
joyed the open but did away with ex-
pense of stopping at hotels.
Before starting on the trip cook
ing outfit, and table utensils, of alumni
mum was purchased, and a suit case
arranged for carrying this equipment
in the easiest manner. The back oi
the front seat of the car was hinged
and large canvas cover for the cal
was purchased.
During the trip the party cooked
most of its meals in the open ano
practically every night was spent il
the car. BY letting down the hinged
back of the front seat, a comfortable
bed was secured and the canvas cover
which reached the ground all around
the car protected the party from tn,
elements.

The Ocala Athletic Association

in Leesburg last week, which was at
tended by Mr.. C. w Hunter, Mr.. w.
Austin Bennett and NJ, G. X. Robin

Not as many season tickets as de-
sired have been sold yet, and it is
hoped that every fan intending to do
so will purchase a ticket at once.
Manager Hunter has worked faith
fully all winter on the park, making
several efforts to bring big league
teams here, and has now whipped
into shape what promises to be one
of the best mines Ocala has ever had.

BOAT
On The RIVER
A New Freighter May be Placed
In Service
IS NEEDED TO TAKE CARE OF THE. INCREASED TRAFFIC OF
WATER ROUTE

Another freight boat will probably
be plying shortly on the river run
between Ocala and Jacksonville. A
meeting of the Ocala Transportation
company was held in the offices of Mr..
L. w. Duval this morning and the
proposed boat was then discussed.
Some definite announcement will
be made in day or two, it is said.
If arrangements are made for the
new freighter she will be larger than
the G.. A. Carmichael now making the
run. The increase in traffic demands
an additional vessel. A large portion
of the freight from the north and
west is now being brought into Ocala
via the water route.
The officials of the 0cala Trans
portation company are working hard
to build up the freight traffic on the
river, believing that if they succeed
they will have. gone long way to-
wards solving the freight rate prob
lem.
