had a short and pleasant session. The

pendent paper. Another reason for
visiting the Reporter-Star was to see
two of our young friends, Miss Garnet
Bose and Louis H. Dosh. Miss Bose

learning her trade on the Star when
d little girl, and was the special pet
and pride of the whole force. She is

efficient and reliable mechanics in the
United States, you'll have to show me-
could only exchange a few words
with these two young friends, for
press time was coming, and | knew
what that meant to them.
Leaving the Reporter-Star office, l
met the other Brossier coming in, but
had no time to tell him any more
than "howdy."
| wanted to go to the Office of the
Morning Sentinel, which l hear has
very fine outfit, and where another
Ocala boy, Charlie Woods, is work
ing, but the time for the meeting was
at hand. However, l met the editor,
Mr.. W. M. Glenn, on the street, and
he gave me considerable information
in the course of the afternoon.
The meeting was held in the court
room of the Orange county court
house. This has taken the place OF
the little wooden building | knew in
the last century. 1t is a big, we'll
arranged, substantial structure, and
I was surprised to learn that the peo-
pie of Orange contemplate another
and larger building
I shall not describe the meeting n
this article, as it is spoken of else
! where. | heard some things said
about a lack of enthusiasm, but it
seemed to me like it was pervaded
with spirit of system and business
Movements that start eff with bubbl-
ing enthusiasm often flicker out, but
those of quiet, Unconditional begin
nings generally stay to the end of
the race. -.
When the meeting was about half
over several Marion county parties
who had slower cars left to start for
home, which may have caused the re-
port that the meeting came near
breaking up, but the Marionites who
had the business to attend to did not
leave until everything had been
finished. =
We all went out on the street, and
little boys were going around with
bundles of the Reporter-Star, deliv-
ering them, and people coming out of
their front doors to obtain them, just
like other little boys were delivering
Ocala Evening Stars to anxious read
ers, in the home town ninety miles
to the northwest, and when l saw
them I grew homesick
Friend Wilson invited me to go to
his home by Lake Weir, to stay al
night, to take a swim in the lake and
eat some home cooking. Which wa,
great temptation. But I know my
place was in an untidy room with 2
disorderly table and big old clumsy

a high, uncomfy chair where | be-
