SOME MORE o. V.
FROM OCALA STAR.

board and its trains are again rum
ming into Ocala. Now, let our peo-
pie give the little road as much bus
mess as possible and try and keep
it in operation. 1t isn't worth very
much to Ocala at present but in a
few years, when population increases
along its line, it will be worth good
deal. The matter in hand is to keep
it alive until it can grow strong
enough to keep itself. We hope the
new management will inaugurate a
schedule more favorable to Ocala. If
for instance, the train that now ar
rives here at noon, or later, and
turns around and starts back to Pa
latka at 2:05 p. M, would wait for
the A. c. L. southbound and the two
Seaboard limiteds, and leave for Pa
latka at 4:30, it would do more bus
mess and be a greater accommoda-
ton for the country people from
Orange Springs south who desire to
come to Ocala to trade and attend to
legal affairs at their county seat.
The only trains the 0. V. connects
with at Palatka are also connected
with by the A. C. l.. or Seaboard, and
in the Stars opinion the local bust
ness is much the more important.
The union station officials inform the
Star that very few people use the O..
V. for connection with either the
East Coast or the A. c. L., but many
people out in the country, who now
use cars, would prefer the railroad,
particularly in bad weather, if they
could have enough time in Ocala to
attend to business.-Ocala Star.
Several weeks ago the Star said
that the O. V. was operated for the
benefit of Palatka and the Rodman
Lumber Company, and that since the
road had suspended Ocala got her
share of the trade along the valley.
Brother Benjamin was seeing things
All of the schedules on the o. V.
have been out of Palatka in the NOR
ming and back at night. This means
that those along the line who wished
to come to Palatka would have to
stay over night and leave too early
the next morning to attend to much
business. But they did have a chance
r. go to Ocala and spend few hours
leaving home and returning the same
day.
Brother Benjamin has accused US
of not being fair to his attitude. We
wish to be more than fair. We wish
to be generous. Palatka, so far as
we have been able to ascertain, is
willing to have the schedules so ar
ranged that Ocala can have the cute
little o. V. equipment parked at her
union station from early in the dewy
morn until such hour as even the
Star shall cease to twinkle. We are
only interested in having it operated
for the benefit of those along the
route to their best advantages, and
at the same time to serve business
houses here and in Ocala with freight
service at fair rate.
