vance A lot of sfipyard workers
were paid tremendous wages, working
safe behind a rampant of soldiers and
sailors. A lot of contractors were
paid exorbitant sums to build ships,
make clothes and other supplies, many
of them rotten, for the army and
navy. Now, we are told that modest
bonus to the men who saved America
and ifs allies from defeat, would bank
rupt the country. For why? Would
they not spend the money right here
in the country as fast as they re-
.ceived it? The truth is that the coun-
try is ungratefuI, and a dollar looks
bigger to it than an ex-service mans
victory medal. Yet, if another war
broke out next year. the country
would insist that the men that fought
the last one should be the first to go
into the ranks.

Grocery, and sheltered a good sized
hotel by the name of Magnolia. When
this monarch was finally destroyed by
fire, a souvenir from it was sent to
Queen Victoria by our townsman, Mr..
David S. Woodrow. At least this is
my recollection.
Though hampered for many years,
Main street is living up to its name.
1t has the two largest hotels, the
largest garage, the two newspaper
offices, the express office and a mys-
terious structure going up at the cor
ner of Oklawaha avenue regular
What is It"
Main street has a fine Methodist
church which is being rebuilt and en-
larged. We are now calling its Ioca-
ton Macedonia. Can you guess why ?
So much for things inanimate, brick,
stone and mortar; humanity speaking,
it has two butchers and two bakers "a
candlestick maker would starve)
two illustrious editors, and modesty
forbids naming another illustrious
citizen, but not the least, even if the
last, is Mack Taylor.

Since arnistice day PSI American
aviators have been killed in fight.
For them there was not the glory that
crowns the warrior who dies in bat
tie. They went ahead. did each days
dangerous round of duty and they
died doing the days work. And, in
our opinion, the sacrifice of the fell
low who thus gives his life while do
ing his job as best he knows, is no
less to be honored than the sacrifice
of him who laid down his life in the
zeal, inspiration and glamor of battle.
They are heroes of the daily task
St. Petersburg Independent
The Independent is correct. The
young men killed in peace time avia-
ton take up their dangerous tasks
with the view of making their coun-
try equal or supreme in the air in
case of another war. in which they
would be indispensable. We can't
have too many of them nor do them
too much honor.

MAIN STREET. OCALA
lW. w. a.


Main street has Lad a checkered
career and many obstacles to over
come By direction of the board of
county commissions John G. Rear
don, the county's first treasurer. on
june End. 1876, entered or bought
from the United States 200 acres of
land for a county seat, but at first
only 100 acres was surveyed and plat
ted into lots and blocks, which is
now known as the Old Survey. Main
street then extended only 145 feet
north of its intersection with Jeffer-
son street, where it abutted an 8O-acre
tract which had been entered by Capt.
E. D. Howse before Ocala was thought
of. Capt. Howse was the county's
first sheriff and lived about where
Tuscawilla Park is now located. This
80-acre tract passed through the fol-
lowing owners: LittIeberry Branch,
DR.. S. w. Moody, Capt. ]. II. Howard
and William Harmon, Baptist min
lister, who sold a 4-acre tract in the
southwest corner to DR.. H. o. Weston,
who built a fine residence in or at
least at the head of Main street. The
city desired to extend Main street
and years of negotiation and litiga-
ton with the Weston heirs ensued;
finally the house burned, and a right
of way was eventually secured But
to reach May street there was an in
tervening lot of 178 feet owned by
Mrs. w. G. Marshall. a right of way
through which. l think, was secured
without much trouble, delay or cost
to the city. This was the terminus
of Main street for twenty-five years,
and just recently it was extended
north los feet into the union station
grounds at a cost to the city of about
$4,000.
In the beginning Magnolia street
extended no further and had no ad-
vantages over Main street, but the
late John F. Dunn acquired the land
adjoining on the north and plated it
as Dunn's Central Addition, through
which Magnolia street was extended
and became the main route to all
points north, over which the stage
from Gainesville came.
1t so happened that the two streets
were misnamed, Magnolia becoming
the main street, and Main street
should have been Magnolia, for the
reason that one of the finest specl-
mems of that magnificent tree stood
on or very near Main street, about the
present side entrance to the Teapot

That argument about a bonus to
the ex-service men being bad for bus
mess seems ridiculous in view of all
that has gone before. When we loaned
money by the hundred millions to our
allies, we were told that the money
would be spent in this country, and
would make business better This
proved true. The railroad men, the
postal employees, the express and
telegraph men, were given their
bonus, five or six times as much as is
asked for by the service men, in ad.

It's funny that Wallace Stovall of
the Tampa Tribune and Hugh Spark
man of the Daytona Journal were
sued for hundred thousand dollars
each on the same day. Our good wishes
to them both and may they make sue
cessful defense Even if both are
guilty, it is dollars to diamonds
that each has covered up enough un-
kindness and bitter truth against the
weak and helpless beside telling many
charitable lies, to give them credit
for million or two on the books of
the recording angel. There will prob
ably be icicles mile long in the bad
place before anybody collects from the
Tribune, and any person who thinks
Sparkman has hundred thousand
dollars should at once wire for reser-
vations at Chattahoochee That boy
has always been too busy stirring up
trouble to collect the coin.

The Summerfield Chronicle speaks
as wisely as a twenty-times bigger
paper when it says: ave are firm be-
levers in military training for young
men. 1t teaches them to be brave
and honorable. 1t develops health
and strength. 1t inspires them in
teaching their elders in making the
home life ideal and sanitary and CIV
ing aid and advice to the weak. In
fact, military training, volunteer or
compulsory, will make US better
nation. Congress should appropriate
sufficient funds to take care of all our
young men at least once year at the
training camps"

North Florida. Let it look at itself.

Immediately opposite was the
