CITY WILL MAKE
CONNECTIONS FOR SEWERAGE

Upon the recommendation of Engi-
neer Henney, the city will at once
make the necessary water connections
with the two disposal plants of the
sewerage system, in order that ne
plant will be ready for use. Ocala's
new $100,00O sewer system will be
placed in operation in few days,
possibly in about two weeks. To pro-
vide water for the disposal plants
mains will be run from West Broad
way to the plant of the city proper,
and to reach the North Ocala plant a
main will be run north on Magnolia
street from Henry street to the store
of the Teuton Supply Co., and from
that point small pipe line will be
run west to the plant.
The main run from Broadway will
provide fire protection for Howard
Academy, something that has been
long needed and asked for.

The following special from Barlow
TO the Lakeland Telegram gives some
of Knots reasons for a contest.

three Lakeland precincts, and also IN
the Winter Haven precinct, in SO far
as they affect the race for governor,
Il be thrown out, and the election for
governor in such precincts be declared
null and void.

tors at the precincts named allowed
Republicans and socialists to vote In
the democratic primary, knowing
them to be republicans and socialists
and knowing that they would vote fol-
ibis opponent, Cats; further that the!

BRYAN & COMPANY
DID GOOD WORK

At the request of Bryan & Co.,
contractors for the sewer system,
council last night voted to accept a
surety bond for five per cent of the
contract price in lieu of holding back
two and half per cent of the money.
This gives the contractors the use OF
the money, and at the same time, ac-
cording to council, protects the city.
Bryan & Co. have completed their
work on the sewer system, and last
night there were expressions of good
feeling and relationship from the con-
tractors and the council. Bryan & Co
reiterated their promise to make good
any defect found in the work.
The surety bond was accepted or
condition that the contractors keep Q
man in the city to look after the
streets through which the severe are
laid.

The Atlanta Georgian is quoted as
saying that drunkenness is on the in

Atlanta, or in any other Georgia town

f old Carranza is really in con-

least, has common sense enough to
recognize what would be the inevi-

on his part.-Augusta Chronicle.
Carranza is playing the game with
shrewdness and success. His men
have defeated Americans at Parral
and Carrizal, and if he induces Mr..
Wilson, as he probably will, to with
draw our troops, he will have right
to pose as soldier and statesman
before the Mexican people.

A SOBLESS SOB STORY
ABOUT TWO CHILDREN

She was a pitiful looking mite, per-
haps ten years old. AS she walked at
the side of a well groomed woman on
Main street, her scant, threadbare
clothing afforded poor protection from
the cruel winter blasts. The only col
oring to her face was artificial-the
smearings of a penny cake Of fudge
she nihhled at, but It was the sharp,
shrewd fact of the prematurely aged
street child, and her companion was
undoubtedly much interested in the
child's animated conversation.
Gee, but you are pretty lady"
exclaimed the little girl, her face reg
istering real admiration. There was a
muttered reply of appreciation.
"You have very pretty clothes" con-
tinued the child, a trif1e more ingra-
tiating. Another muttered expression
of an appreciated compliment on the
part of the now flattered woman
II suppose you are going to have
a nice Christmas?" the little girl visit
fully inquired,
''I hope So" replied the woman.
II hope you do the child replied
promptly. 81 don't suppose l will have
Christmas. My father is dead and
mother is too poor to buy us children
anything" There were real tears in
her eyes when she finished. Poor
youngster," said the wellgroomed
woman She handed the girl a dime,
then hurried into a store.
The little girl was still gazing with
disappointed eyes at the coin when
