DISAGREEING ON THE DATE

Monday, the 18th, friend, an cold
timer" called it to the Stars atten-
ton that it was the twenty-seventh
anniversary of the "big freeze" and
we wrote a piece about it. The next
Monday, another "old-timer," rebuked
us for making a mistake in the date,
which he said was the 9th of Febru-
airy, 1895. Now, we were. positive
about the year and month, but bit
hazy about the day, tho we knew it
was in the first half of the month.
We settle most chronological con-
troversies by going to the Stars files
but as there wasn't any Star until
June, 1895, we were without help from
that source. We went across street
to consult the files of the Banner, but
when we found that the volume fol
1895 had twenty-six other years pilee
on top of it, we didn't feel young
enough to live back that far.
In the court of the next two days
we consulted several old-timers, anc
they all agreed in disagreeing. They
ran the scale from the 5th to the 18th
Finally, by aid of Judge McConath!
and Mr.. E. L. Carney, we hit the right
date. The temperature began to fal
on the 7th and went to rock bottom
before daylight on the 9Th. The mer
curry fell to ID degrees.
There was another big freeze fou
years later-Feb. Is, 1899-and w
suppose some of our friends mixet
the dates.

Mr.. r. B. Meffert, chairman of the
Marion county board of commission
ers, has informed the state road de-

on the Dixie Highway has progressed
sufficiently to justify advertising for
bids on the base, curb and surface.
Mr.. Meffert has called the attention
of the road department to the fact
that material for this work exists in
Marion county, near the line of the
road, and that it will be advisable to
use tin which opinion "Bruce" has
the backing of his county.

Ocala's new city manager, Mr.. J.
R. Brumby, formerly of Marietta, Ca,
is here, and will formally take charge
of his Office tomorrow night. Mr..
Brumby takes this Office in response
to an overwhelming demand by the
people of Ocala on the city council
that it should be turned over to such a
man. Now, it's up to the people and
the council to see that he has fair
show. His subordinates must obey
him and big interests mustn't be al
lowed to bully him. And he must be
judged by results-not by what any
little bunch or clique thinks he should
or should not do.
