THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CUES
TON


Fort Mccoy, Fla, Dec. IL, 1917.
To the Editor Ocala Banner:
Your article in the Weekly Banner
of December 7th, stated that the bus
mess promised the Oklawaha Valley
railroad has not been Forthcoming,
and on account of an empty pocket
book being more powerful than the
order of a state railroad commission
and the decision of court, the rail-
road would cease operations.
1t is very evident that you got this
information from the management of
the railroad, but was not surprised at
their failure in advising you that they
received orders for so cars from Rod
man Lumber Company and 16 cars
from Gnann Bros, at Bay Lake, to be
loaded with government piling and
lumber and that no effort was made
to furnish cars for this important bus
mess.
1t is a fact that the only time the
management of the o. v. Ry. made
any real effort to secure business is
when they induced Gnann Bros. to
install saw mill at Bay Lake, prom
Using that the road would be ex-
tended and that a large order for tim
Der and other lumber would be placed
with them. About seven months aft
er this promise was made the road
discontinues service and leaves Gnann
Bros. with an investment OF about
$4,000 on their hands and financially
ruined.
Men have been arrested for reading
the constitution Of the United States,
others have been thrown in Jail for
demanding their constitutional rights,
but here is corporation that actually
refuses to handle government piling
and lumber which is needed badly by
the war department, and from all In
dications seem to have the upper
hand in the matter. Is it possible
that this corporation is pro-German?
No. | don't think so, as one of it's
members, C. A. Marshall, ex-president
of the railroad, resigned his position |
to take charge Of branch of the Red |
Cross In France He is a real patri- |
OF, as he believes in mixing business
with patriotism and furthermore |
trench life is unbecoming to a finan-
cier However, we are under the i'm.
that while attending to his
duties in France, he accidentally"
came in contact with buyer OF steel
rail, and for that reason the o. V. has
operations. and the next
move of the owners will be to re-
move the rail.
One of the officials of the railroad
told me personally that work was to
have started December l in taking up
the rail and getting it ready for ship
ment as soon as possible, but this
little game was delayed by the rail-
road commission, and we are now
anxiously waiting to see what the out
come will be.
The private ownership of railroads
IS and has always been failure, and
no doubt the next year will see the
government running all railroads.
The present owners of the o. V. Ry.
zee the handwriting on the wall and
L is their intention to dispose of the
rail before it is too late. Let the rail-
road commission stand by the people
and let the people back up the COM |
mission and no power on earth can
tear up the rail and leave about one r
thousand families in the wilderness.

at depth of only eighty-five feet and
has a solid vein of four feet, the ore
running several hundred dollars to the

TasseIs of All Kinds.

TaSselS are used on afternoon frocks
as we'll as on party dresses. Chinese
tassels, which are usually made of
green, black and blue, with possibly
bit Of jade at the top, give color to
dark gown. One is worn at the girdle
or one at each side of the hips. Tas-
sells are worn in every way, but they
are not always Chinese. Some are
made Of cOlored crystals, of pearls, Of
rhinestOnes of jet beads, of colored
silk floss and some of them are ap-
parently the kind that are sold in the
upholstery departments. 1t seems to
be the growing fashion to put some
kinds Of tassel at each side of the
girdle, so that it will hang just in
front Of the hips. Evening wraps are
tied across the chest, with wide stream
ers that end in tassels; medieval
sleeves have their points held down
by tassels; trains are weighted with
tassel to keep them on the floor;
some of the new high shoes have tas-
sells at the top in the European fash
ion, and tiny tassels of ostrich feath-
ers or curled silk are used on deep

ted socks which turn back just un-

an adaptation of a model that has
long been worn by English golfers.

of rawhide between the inner and out

When in the course Of June events
it becomes necessary for the bride to
proceed to the altar, she is wise
woman who makes the most of her
maid Of honor. Let the girls who pre-
cede her stateliness be arranged like
the May in costumes that befit their
youth and the dignity Of their mission,
and let the dress Of the maid of honor
be varied just enough to accent her
presence and add another interest to
the spectacle.
Those who take upon themselves the
delightful task Of designing costumes
for the wedding procession, have been
prOdigal of ideas this year. But as
one mind they seem to have settled On
pale pink for the garb of maids and
flower girl. The pink is a mere blush
of color through net or lace, or in love-
ly georgette crepe, and it seems that
nothing else could be quite so pretty.
