the state. In 1898 she lived near tt
tusville and drove to the Worlds Fair
in Chicago, returning in the winter
of that year. Shortly after that she
moved to Ocala and since then she has
visited every county in the state and
every place of Importance. This week
she left for the Beaumont oil fields

WANT TO MAP THE WAY

The council and city manager of
Ocala do not want the people to think
they are going to make fierce and
unprecedented rush to the front in
the contemplated and necessary i'm
provements on the streets and to the
light and power plant.
In the last ten years, Ocala has sac
rifced much money and has been sub
jected to great inconvenience, some
times by ilI-planned work; other
times by negligence. There has been
a refreshing lack of dishonesty in our
city affairs. but there have been times
when intelligent rascality would have
cost the town less than laundering in
tegrity.
The city government has a great
deal to do in proportion to the amount
of money it has to do with. 1t wishes
to give the people better service with
the lowest possible cost. 1t will care
fully plan for the work, try to obtain
the most expert advice and the best
material. 1t will try to have improve
ments made in such a substantial
manner that they will stay made, and
not have to be partly made over or
thrown aside in short time. 1t will
try to profit by past mistakes and to
avoid as many mistakes of its own as
possible. 1t asks for the interest and
cooperation of the people, will well
come their honest criticism and will
do its best not to deserve fault
! finding.

Hiram NJ. Smith, defense attorney
will introduce his full case at the pre-

Smith yesterday.
At the same time Dave E. Satter-
field, Commonwealth Attorney, stat
ed that he expects not only to have
Pollard and j. Mosby West, alleged
accessory, sent on to the Hastings
Court but that he will ask that both
be held without bail until their trial.
The announcement OF Mr.. Smith
means it is believed, that Mr.. Satter-
field will have to abandon his plan OF
putting only two witnesses, those
heard at the coroner's inquest on the
stand. Thus indications are that the
substance of the cases of both the de-
fense and prosecution, together with
the results of the secret Investigations
of the police, will be revealed tomor-

Mr.. Smith said: "All of the evil
dence and every witness, so far as /

And this shall be sign un-
to YOU; Ye shall find the babe
wrapped in swaddling clothes,
lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with
the angel a multitude of the
heavenly host praising God, and
saying,
Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace, good will
toward men.
And it came to pass, as the
angels were gone away from
them into heaven, the shepherds
said one to another, Let us now
go even unto Bethlehem, and see
this thing which is come to pass,
which the Lord hath made
known to US.
And they came with haste,
and found Mary and Joseph,
and the babe lying in a manger.
And when they had seen 1t,
they made known abroad the
saying which was told them
concerning this child.
And all they that heard it
wondered at those things which
were told them by the shep-
herds.
But Mary kept all these
things, and pondered them in
her heart.
And the shepherds returned,
glorifying and praising God for
al the things that they had
heard and seen, as it was told
unto them.
