Ocala, Fla, Jan. z, 1919.
Honorable County Commissioners OF
Marion County, Florida:
Gentlemen: / had an invitation
from the new members of your board
to be present at this meeting and
discuss with you any matters regard
ed as essential to the county's welfare
in road building and taking care of
roads which have been surfaced.
As / view it now, one of the most
serious and important provisions con-
fronting our county legislators and
the people is that of taking care OF
the roads which have been and are
no wbeing built.
If some intelligent method is devils
ed for the upkeep of the roads, and
after being devised, is carried out, the
roads can be maintained. My good
friend, Mr.. w. ID. earn, in his cam
paign outlined some practical meth
DDS of keeping up these costly roads
but they were not carried cut.
1t will continue to be a poor bust
ness if Marion county continues to
build and neglect to make some intel.
ligent and concerted effort to keep
the roads in repair. DeSoto county
leads in the matter of conducting
road building and repairing, particu.
largely as it applies to the utilization
of convict labor. Each of the three
state gangs in the county have per.
manet homes for their unfortunates
and the quarters are comfortable. A
small farm, and good one, is main.
tanned by them. The one at Wauchu
la, for instance, visited this week
and their record shows 200 bushels Of
sweet potatoes, 80 gallons of syrup
40 good porkers and right now the
best garden in Florida, and vege
tables are provided the entire year
This lone camps inventory of road
machinery amounts to $4,000.
These camps have large trucks, anC
talk about road upkeep, they solve the
problem. In my visits to these camps

it is common to find eight or ten of
the convicts. with two trucks. twenty
miles from their permanent stations,
repairing roads, thereby creating
harmony and a assisted taxpaying
people. All other organized bodies
act co-jointly, and why not the coun-
ty commissioners My four years ex-
perience in visiting all the road
camps operated by state road force
prompts me in urging you to abandon
the building of sand-clay roads, un-
less you use clay very sparingly and
then constantly apply sand until the
roads are made passable after rains.
The following bonds were approved:
l. NJ. Kibler as deputy sheriff; Chas.
c. BURY as notary public; E. W.
Creider, bond for license to carry pis-
toll.
The board decided that all bills not
properly approved and in the hands
of the clerk on the Saturday before
any board meeting should be laid over
until the next succeeding meeting for
payment and the public is hereby no
titled that all bills should be rendered
to the commissioner responsible for
same in time for the above ruling to
be effective.
All bills audited and approved were
ordered paid as far as available funds
permit.
The county Judge, county deposit
tory, sheriff, justices of the peace,
tax collector and inspectors of marks
and brands filed reports. .
The following warrants were or
dered drawn to cover bills duly ex-
amined, passed and ordered paid:
General fund, No. 7416 to 7490,

TARRANT- SAUNDERS

The following from the Albany-De- catur Daily will be read with interest by Birmingham friends.
 At high. noon Monday. December 9, at the home of her parents. Mir. and Mrs. R. E. Saunders, Miss Mary Grace Saunders was quietly married to Mir. Paul R. Tarrant of Birmingham.
 The ceremony. beautiful in its sim plicity, was impressively performed by Rev. T. C. Mundy, of St. Johns Epis- copal church,
 Because of the serious illness of the brides father, only members of the immediate family were present promptly at 12 o'clock the Reverend Mundy took his place in the center of the living room. The groom entered with his brother. Felix Tarrant, fol- lowed by Miss Caldwell and Mr. John Snodgrass as attendants. Then came the bride on the arm of her brother, Mir. Charles B. Saunders, who gave her in marriage. She wore a becoming suit of navy blue with the matching acces- sories, and carried an arm bouquet of American Beauty roses.
 The bride was reared in Albany, and one of its loveliest girls. For three years she has been a teacher in the schools of the Birmingham district. The groom is the son of Dr. and Mrs. J. R. Tarrant of Birmingham. and is con- nected with the Norton Drug company of that city.
 The bridal party left at noon for a f0- days stay in Florida
 Out of town members of the fam fly who were present, were Mir. and Mrs. c. B. Saunders from Birmingham, Miss Blanche Saunders of Louisville, Ky; MT. John Snodgrass ss of North Car olina, Mr. Felix Tarrant of Birming- ham.

Ex-Seruice Mans Chance

6T1 HERE'S one thing about the
 Young Mems Christian associa- l tion that impresses the casual observer or the "uniniated," as well as the 'fniated," and that is that it never stands still.
 Always there is some new activity being inaugurated; always there is some innovation being made and if you i are interested in the "Y' you can rely upon the fact that stagnation will never stare you in the face.
 From the war work of the "Y" to it's After War Work there has never been a dull moment and every recrea- tional activity, every practical activity, every spiritual and religious activity during the great world war struggle.
 Reconstruction days" means a great deal to the ''Y," for it gives this splen- did organization the opportunity of helping the ex-service men, who, com ing back to very changed conditions very changed home life, very changed business life, and very changed spir- itual life, must be assisted in order to carry on" as he did before the war. In talking with MT. R. E. Mitchell. the efficient and able director of the educational and vocational department of the local T. NJ. c. A, yesterday, he told me some things in regard to the "evenng schools" conducted by this or- ganization and the proposed plans for the coming year, which the war coun- cil of the ''Y' is arranging for the lex service' men, which are well worth re- beating.
 The M. c. A. evening school holds. a very unique position in the educa- tional system of all large cities,". said Mir. Mitchell. Tt operates on a philan- thropic basis, serving all classes of men and boys from the Americanization of foreigners, to the cultured college man. Between the two extremes it offers ed- ucational opportunities for the em- ployed boy. the illiterate man who has been denied an education, the high school student who feels the need of vocational training and the college man who desires specific training along spe- cial lines. In order to meet the needs of these various types of men and boys the association must needs establish a very comprehensive and extensive ed- ucational programme. The recent con- flict has demonstrated beyond a doubt that the greatest need of our educa- tional system today is an adequate vo- cational training.
 "The Y. M. c. A. vocational schools throughout the United States have spent a great deal of time, effort, study and investigation along these lines and is one of the pioneers in striving to fit the men for their jobs" said Mir Mitchell. '"rhe war work council of the Y. M. c. A. has allotted approximate ly 300 scholarships to be used in edu- cational courses for ex-service men, An educational service committee com posed of Donald Conner. chairman; Major Lucien Brown; Major Frank Dixon, Major Walter Brewer, Superin-

educational courses, any of which may be secured by ex-service men free of cost to themselves upon registration of the educational director. These courses include all of the subjects. such as mechanical, structural and architec- tural drawing, blue print, machine de- sign, strength of materials, shop arith- metic, plane geometry, trigonometry. commercial arithmetic, bookkeeping, business English, spelling, penmanship, shorthand, typewriting, higher account ing, salesmanship and personal effici- ency, mine engineering, mine ventilat- ing, Americanization for foreigners, Americanization for colored men and public speaking and self-confidence."
 This continued Mir. Mitchell, lis the big activity which will occupy the, center of the " stage, beginning with the New Year of 1920. From it we ex x-t pect great results. It is mammoth undertaking and one which will offer untold opportunities to the ex-service man who really wants to make good and perfect himself in educational and vocational work
 And should like to say word about the instructors who will be em- ployed by the " in this work" Mir. Mitchell said. "The instructors who serve in our school will be men of the highest type They are well educated, students of human nature, possess pleasing personality and are practical men whose life work is closely con nected with the subject which they will teach. The directors of the school con- siders the selection of it's teachers one of it's most important tasks, and upon which depends, on a great measure, the success of the school. The only re- quirement that is asked of the ex-serv- ice men is that he shall make an hon. est effort and avail himself of the op- portunity by regular attendance at the classes and see the course through to a successful close. A large number of ex-service men have already registered for the school, which will open January 5, and other men will be accepted qC1 this basis so long as the scholarships last"
