Mr.. B. Goldman has at his pawn
shop pistol that would be treasure
to any collector of old-fashioned
weapons. 1t is a muzzle-loading re-
volver, evidently at least seventy
years old. 1t has ten barrels, nine of
them revolving around the tenth,
which acts as a cylinder rod. The
nine revolving barrels are intended
to be loaded with bullets, of size about
sixty to the pound. The stationary
barrel is about twenty-bore, and is in
tended to be loaded with shot. The
hamer has lip hinged on spring,
which when pushed down will strike
the cap of the shotgun barrel. The
pistol is in good order and if loaded
would be quite effective at close
range. Owing to the location of the
sights, anything like target shooting
with it would hardly be possible.

BOUGHT A MAXWELL TRUCK

Mr.. B. w. Morton of Williston has
bought a Maxwell truck for use in
his gasoline deliveries through the
Williston territory. Mr.. Morton came
to Ocala Monday afternoon, took one
of the trucks which had never been
driven a mile and went home with it
that afternoon. Yesterday morning
he and Mr.. Bailey of the Maxwell
sales force, put a big gasoline stor-
age tank on the chassis and for it's
first trip delivered ton of gas to
Bronson, travelling one of the worst
pieces of crooked and sandy road in
the country, piece of road which,
when as dry as itnow is, is bugaboo
to automobile owners. The perform
ances of the truck was perfect and the
trip was made with the greatest ease
and to the entire satisfaction of Nh
Morton, who settled for the truck as
soon as they returned to Williston,
realizing. that at last he had solved
his hauling problem. The Maxwell
Agency has three of these trucks in
stock at Ocala.
