people who have been in it can remem- |
Der it as a shabby, dirty room. It has
had the walls cleaned and painted, a
partition put across it, two desks,
some chairs and typewriter put in it.
Total, between five and six hundred
dollars. 1t is one Of the most simply
furnished offices in the city, and the
manager hasn't had anything to do
with the band anyhow.
4 gratuitous attack by the band on
one of its best friends is the slur at
L. H. Chazal in its mock program
printed in Fridays Star. We think
it is a safe bet that Mr.. Chazal has
done more hard work than any other
man to secure an appropriation for
the band.
The same bright program contain
ed number entitled "We1l Save the
Two Thousand and Buy Coupla
Bricks" We will bet that if that par
ticular artist had to take two thou
sand dollars worth of brick out of a
freight car, carry them one hundred
yards in a wheelbarrow and stack
them up in good shape, he would find
it more hard work than he ever did
before in all his life.
The statement Of "The Band" about
the item in the Star, headed to the eff
feet of the favorable consideration of
the band contract by the council is
correct, but the item itself was the
Stars mistake. 1t was written by a
reporter under misapprehension, but
after he was informed he erred he
made no more such mistakes.
Albert Gerig, Ben Borden, W. W
| Condor and the other old wheel horses
can testify that the Star has always
boosted for the band. praised its work
and Clipped in when the hat was
passed. But the Star has always been
against the city government subsidiz-
ing the band or spending public money
for any similar object. It's very true
that hundreds of people have turned
out to the concerts and enjoyed then
much, but that is no sign that the tax.
payers would approve of an addition
to the millage for such a purpose.
1t is argued that regular weekly
band concerts would be an advertise
ment to the town and attract tourists
The Star respectfully submits tina
tourists are not going to be attracted
to any town by one performance {
week by an amateur band. The tour
list towns where the winter visitors
crowd the home folks off the side
walks employ aggregations of profes
sional musicians to play twice a day
1t is foolish to think Ocala can com
pete with anything like that. Blu
Ocala can, in the next three years
build herself out of the mud and sand
and have solid good for her own PEG
Iple if the council is allowed to sticl
to it's avowed policy and not fritte
away public money on non-essentials
And now we think it is about tim
to call this discussion off. We can
see where there is any good to b

Messrs. earn and Bittinger were
among the people yesterday to secure
funds to furnish the annex of the
school house and are pleased with the
cordial manner in which they were re-
ceived by all they approached. Not a
person but who stood up for the pub
lie school and said it was a cause that
should enlist the sympathy and sup
port of every person in the district
and certainly the people of Ocala
could not afford to go back on such a
deserving institution. Something over
$3.50 was subscribed.
Mr.. J. N. C. Stockton, a prominent
Jacksonville banker, was in town to-
day.
Mrs c. L. Bittinger and daughter,
Adele, left this afternoon for Lake
Weir to visit Mrs. B. B. Kicker and
Mr.. and Mrs. Alex Wynne.
Ed Carmichael is driving a beauti-
full pair of trotting horses, a recent
purchase. Ed is a lover and Judge OF
good horse flesh and generally has a
specimen of the real thing on hand.
Mr.. Thomas Johnson was welded
last night at Z o'clock to Miss Clara
Reagan at the home of the brides
parents, by Rev. Howard Dutill. The
bride is the daughter of A. o. Reagan
and has made many friends in this
community since coming here. The
groom is young man of sterling
qualities and a trusted employee OF
the spoke and rim factory. He has
won the respect and esteem of all.
Mrs. T. D. Bryan and baby, who
have been visiting Mrs. Bryan's par,

OCALA'S BAND JOKE

Editor Star: AS you say, the band
Is having its little joke. Listen why
1t is so funny.
The Board of Trade has been pining
for band for a long time. A band
was finally gotten together. The
Board of Trade requested free test
concert be played. that city fathers be
present to give approval or disapprov-
al. Free concert was played and
Board of Trade awarded ten weeks
contract, which was o. K'ed. by city
council! (Refer you to headlines in
" Star "Oity Council Agrees to Help
Band"
'"'" When less than half the contract
was played council discovers it has
spent the money which was assessed
for band for something more essential.
q Board Of Trade says go ahead, we will
raise it by public subscription. When
balance of fund was practically raised
by public subscription financing COM
mittee remembered that there were
certain strings on contributions which
should cause their immediate return.
This leaves the band with a good
joke, one months hall rent to pay, a
light bill, new instruments on the
hands of individuals costing more than
they could make out of entire con-
tract, leaving us with out o. town men
to pay for last two concerts as we'll as
ourselves and director, also leaving US
with some valuable experience.
The best joke is that the band men
did not solicit the work. They only
like to get together and play and see
something stirring in town. AS far as
financial returns. ask A. E. Gerig, w.
w. Condor, H. W. Tucker, Ben Bor-
den or any of the old wheel horses if
band playing has not cost them either
directly or Indirectly more than they
ever got or expected to get out of it
We do not ask the public to be taxed
to support a band. We did expect
however, bona fide contract entered
into by the Board of Trade and ap,
proved by the city council would be
fulfilled.
Yes, the band is having its little
Joke, but Somehow it also seems q
Joke on the public who with civic
pride attended our concerts, applaudec
our efforts and laughed at our mis-
takes. It's joke on the hundreds OF
little kids that romped and played OF
the grass and looked forward to banc
night,
Oh, sure; it's all big joke.
