and various county Offices We find
that the closet in tax assessors office
and one of the petit jury rooms is
covered with trash and rubbish, which
is unsightly and unsanitary and ask
that the janitor be required to remove
same. We also find the lower toilet
in bad condition, the room filled with
trash and bottles and generally un.
sanitary and request that same be
cleaned up at once. We also recon-
mend that a vent be built in white
toilet on first floor for ventilation. We
find all county officials courteous and
Iobliging.
We find further that some depreda.
ti0n has been going on in the north
end of the county by cutting fences
and recommend that sheriff investi
gate the matter and ascertain if evil
dence can be obtained on which to
base prosecution.
In conclusion we desire to thank
your honor for your able charge and
assistance and likewise thank the
state attorney, clerk and sheriff for
their cooperation and assistance to
rs in the discharge of our duties, and
now ask to be discharged.

1T MAKES A NEW EPOCH

We congratulate Major Robert l.
Anderson, Jr., on his election to the
office of mayor of Ocala, and hone
that his administration of the affair.
of the city may be such as to make
it memorable in its history.
We may remark that his election
marks new epoch in the history Of
politics in this city, and perhaps in
the state and in the nation.
1t is an index finger pointing to the
fact that the burdens of government
are soon to be assumed by the youn 2
men who participated in the great
world war. The veterans of the war
between the states that have been
so long and so worthily honored with
political emoluments, are passing
out
We commit the responsibility OF
government to the hands of these
young men trustfully and confidently
and are optimistic enough to belize
that they will lead great forward
movement and will measure up to the
perplexing circumstances that ,oug
new conditions make inevitable, and
to which the whole creation moves
That through them we shall emerge
from our isolation and become fac
tor and participant in all world move
