FRANK HARRIS ON OPTIMISM

The Tampa Tribune asked a num-
Der OF its friends, citizens OF Florida,
to write short articles for that paper,
on optimism and the future. These
articles have been appearing in the
Tribune for quite number of days
and are exceedingly interesting. Some
OF them are written from local stand
points. others from personal expert
ence or observation and still others
from well based theories.
Frank Harris, editor of the Ocala
Banner, wrote for Sundays Tribune,

Ocala,in the center of Marion coun-
ty, is one of the most attractive cities
in Florida, with population of about
10000. 1t is a city of majestic trees,
which shade its avenues and beauti-
full homes. 1t is city of gardens. 1t
is commercial city 1t is a mining
center, the most important lime manu-
featuring center in Flo ida, and is an
automobile center. The city spreads
out from the county court house, a
modern structure of sandstone, and
most attractive public square. The
business of the city is done in some
twenty-five blocks adjourning the
square. This, of course, does not in
clude the scattered stores, warehouses
and the manufacturing plants on the
outskirts of the city. The postoffice
and federal court building, a beauti-
full example of modernized Italian
architecture, occupies block to the
north of the court house. A block to
the east is the new Carnegie Library.
Ocala has exceptionally good shops.
It has number of wholesale and dis
tributing houses. The streets are paw
ed with vitrified brick and lime rock.
The sidewalks are Of concrete. There
are splendid public utilities: pure
water, electric light and power. gas
and modern sewage system of the
Imhoff type. With the exception of the
gas, these are municipality owned.

in MEMORY or rev. WILLIAM {
MARTIN


wen, many who love to read our
dear old Ocala Banner, can truthfully
say, with tear-filled eyes as around
the light we gathered to peruse It:
1--WE shall meet, but we shall miss
him. There will be one vacant chair.
Yes, all enjoyed and shall miss the
brilliant, forcible articles contributed
to the Banner by Rev. w. Z. Martin
widely known as Peter Stanley
The writer first met him at Pine
picnic. He was then married to the
only daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Thomas and was the proud father OF
his first baby boy named for Georgia s
peerless son, Henry w. Grady
our second meeting he alluded to as
terrifying. : The writer was alone IN
the large home at Rutland, her fine
Shepherd dog, True ran on the
back veranda barking viciously TO
give warning Of the approach of a
stranger. The owner followed with a
revolver in hand hidden under the
fold of her dress. Not recognizing
him. she asked his name and business
before leaving his buggy. Smiling he
answered: .'Mollie Thomas Martins
husband; hope you will know me by
my name next time Invited in, he
extended his hand to return greetings
when the revolver | held had to be
exposed. AS it was placed on the
table he pretended to be frightened
and inquired: Would you really
shoot any one?' Only bad ones, was
the reply.
Afterwards his lovely mother-in-law,
Mrs. Julia Thomas. her three fine
sons, two with families, and Mr.. Mar
tins family, moved on adjoining land
bought from the writer. Then she
noted the devoted husband, loving
father and pure Christian character OF
Mr.. Martin and suggested that he
ought to be a worker for God as he
possessed excellent qualifications. He
looked serious, replying: MY father
is now and has been for many years
Baptist minister
Subsequently he did become a
preacher, preaching his first sermon in
our Spar Baptist church. BY this
time another bright boy, Wilton. and
beautiful girl, Julia Ella, had made
their appearance to enliven the family
circle.
Time passed and as Rev Martin
became better known in his chosen
vocation he won and held the love and
admiration of many friends.
His last message as he LETT to seek
health in the mountains was: Give
my love to my friend, Miss Jessie, may
God bless her"
Above all he gained the applause
end approval and never ending love
of our heavenly Jesus, who is always
with us.
Yes, always with us, our trouble
sharing,
This Savior blest:
The heaviest portion of the burden
bearing,
That we may rest:
While at our side the dear voice ever
whispers,
My child, my friend,
Lo, ! am with three always and for.
ever
Unto the end.
That was fine article by Editor
Harris; this writer simply knew more
q the home life of the family.
Friend,
JESSIE Al. OWENS.
