It was discovered about a decade and

The teeming, thriving city Of Dun-

Of long and heavily phosphate laden

It is the consensus CT opinion that
the mining Of Marion county phos-

The county is honeyoombed with
turpentine stills.
Persons of a pessimistic trend

it is the history OF the industry in

with well-kept and handsome homes.
The squalid spots are few and seem
to feel their own unworthiness. Once
outside the town, the roads extend for
miles thru country in which the
beautiful and useful are blended in
the highest degree.
ocala, owing to geography and rail-
road building is nearer the center of
the state than any other city. This
has caused it to be the meeting place
OF more conventions than any other
own in Florida The agriculturist,
the mechanic, the fnancier, the lawy-
er, the doctor, the politician, all have
come to see US and gone away well
pleased.
In the usefulness to alD our system
of good roads is excelIed nowhere in
the state. They were started years
ago with the idea, first of connecting
Ocala with the surrounding rural com
munities, and second with other cities,
so they might form an integral part
Of great state system The work
has been steadily kept up until now
cur roads are the pleasure and con-
venience of our own people and the
admiration of our visitors, and have
won us place on the great national
highway.
Ocala is one of the eenters of the
turpentine and timber industries, and
will be yet for years to come There
is abundant promise that when the
trees that make naval stores and lum-
Der are gone those that bear fruit will
take their places, and that orchards
and groves will make up for the loss
of the forests.
The greatest phosphate fields in the
world are within a DAYS journey of
Ocala, and our city is headquarters
for that immense industry. There is
no reason to believe that it will cease
to grow for fifty, perhaps hundred
years.
Ocala is the center Of one of the
greatest truck-growing sections of the
United States. 1t is so situated that
its produce is ready for market just
at the time when it is most neces-
sary and appreciated IN the north.
Ocala is solid; Ocala is self sustain
ing. In the years Of panic. when all
the world clung with desperate hands
to the fringes of credit, Ocala stood
on her own feet and paid her own
bills. When freezes and failures wiped
out fortunes in night. our people
went on working, and today o. disast-
er there remains not ever a scar.
With enterprise and integrit5 in their
own affairs, and with gro1 s'se
spirit for the common veal, there is
no reason to doubt that the citizens
of Oeala will continue to extend and
improve their city until it is one of
the greatest in Florida as it is now
one of the best. H. BENJAMIN in
Woman's Club Easter Edition, 1912.
