day night but the colored fireman. Mr..
Miller of the De La Vergne Engine
company, who dismantled and loaded
the big oil engine on cars for, ship
ment to New York, gathered his
crew of negro laborers and removed
the oil reclaimer from the plant Mr..
Martin, the city manager. on learn
ing of this Friday morning, got busy
and hurried to Kendrick, when he
stopped the freight train carrying the
machinery, unloaded the oil reclaimer
and brought it back to the plant. The
city claims the apparatus was bought
separate. from the engine and the De

A FAIR QUESTION?

The question is frequently asked by
farmers in the various communities
of the county whether or>not Marion
county will have her annual fair this
year. When asked why they wanted
&c know, they have invariably stated
they wanted time in which to prepare
ali exhibit. Other counties in the
state are right now working on the
fair they expect to have next fall
and it is not bit too early to start
this good work The county agent
and his assistant are covering the
county weekly and coming in touch
with enarly all the farmers of the
county at least once during the month.
They are supporting this "fair" in
every way possible-but their efforts
need little backing from the busi-
ness men of the city. Ask every Gus
toner that. comes into your store if he
is going to have something to exhibit
at our next fair. Tell him that he is
going to get square deal with his
exhibit. If all the citizens of the city
would awaken, give this fair a little
push at times from now until the fall,
we couldn't help but have a fair that
would be a credit to the county and
state, also would be financial gain.

the big movement within our state, in
the closer conferences of the meeting,
voiced the same confidence that the
membership Of this great church in
Florida will be sure to do its full part

MEMORIAL PARK FOR
MARION sCOUNTY'S MEN

It has long been the dream of the
committee on parks and driveways of
the Ocala Woman's Club that .Ocala
may have, some day in the near fu-
ture, beautiful city park and to this
end they are planning. The present
week has found members of this COM
mittee busily engaged in cleaning up
the property at the foot of Tuscawilla
street, which the city set aside for
this purpose.
Now, when the subject arises as to
the most fitting and appropriate way
in which to honor Marion county's
brave boys, who responded so glor-
iously to their country's cause, it has
been suggested that Ocala and all of
Marion county unite with this COM
mittee and make beautiful park as
a lasting tribute to them. Tuscawilla
has also been suggested as fitting
name for this future park. Spanning
the main entrance would be placed a
handsome arch to commemorate the
deeds of the boys of the army, while
a beautiful fountain would serve as a
reminder of what the boys of the navy
did in the world war.
To those whom the world would
love, to those whom it would honor,
it has always been the custom for
countless ages to lay at their feet the
earth's choicest flowers. What now
therefore could be more appropriate
for Marion county to do than to pre-
sent to her noble sons park filled
with beautiful flowers, waving palms
and winding walks?
