THE OCALA BiNNER.
SHIMMINGS
From the Local'i Trip to South
Florida.
The persistency which other demands
make on the space of the B as neb ad
monish me to make my introductory
short, sweet and to the point, and all re
marks I may offer in the way of obser
vation shall be on the line of brief
measurement.
The State Teachers’ Aasociat'-m,
which convened at Tampa, will be dis
missed with the assurance it was the
largest, most enthusiastic and instruc
tive that ever assembled in Florida, and
Marion county was honored in its offi
cers by re-electing Geo. Stewart, of An
thony, Secretary and Treasurer.
Those who watched the labors im
posed on Gounty Superintendent Payne,
insist that on State occasions like the
one in question he is overburdened.
The closing incidents that tried the
patience of the teachers was the Metho
dist church excursion to Egmonl Key,
(mouth of Tampa Bay Harbor), to wit
ness the “ White Squadron,” satisfy
their curiosity and pride in the Ameri
can navy aud assist in contributing $509
towards*replenishing the chnrch treas
ury.
But instead of sailing around the
finest ships of war that float in the
oceans of the earth, they gazed at them
afar off, three to ten miles, and in the
irdmcemible mass and confusion that
distance lends in a case in kind, they
wrecked their bitter disappointment on
Mullet Key, where the general govern
ment is erecting a $30,000 quarantine
and fumigating station, and all vessels
from suspected or infected countries
must halt and tie up and go through a
process of microbe extermination in
double quick time, all done by ma
chinery and hot air and with certain and
deadly effect on anything that has the
taint of suspicion of yellow fever about
it.
The works were full of interest and
instruction and demonstrated that pro
tection, even against the most insinuat
ing and stealthy of invading foes, could
be checked and successfully held at bay
through the aid of science and the in
ventive genius of man.
What almost caused an emute among
the four hundred educators of the State,
was to fiad after they had been quaran
tined, Commodore Plant, who was on
the excursion steamer Margerat, in
duced the captain to take bias to aee
Commodore Walker, of the White
Squadron, and not only disappoint them,
but compelled them to remain in quar
antine natil 5 o'clock, when they had
been promised to be returned to Tampa
by six, so that they could take the eve
ning trains home.
Result, they did not get home nntii 10
o’clock and via Port Tampa, and in no
very amiable state of mind, if they were
willing to admit that Commodore Plant
had built the handsomest hotel in the
State, but one; had created the iargeat
fleet of merchant vessel* that sail the
Southern waters and opened up a trade
with the South American countries,
whose future promised the greatest re
turns ever whispered to the United
States, and whose commerce would
make of Tampa the futnre great gulf
port city of this continent.
In our journeying to Bartow from
Tampa, we passed through Plant City,
where Bro. Merrian is doing good work
inpublishing the South Florida Courier.
Thirty miles from the ‘ City-by the
Gulf,” we came within the pleasant en
vironments of Lakeland, wtioee hiatory
is remarkable from ,tbe fact that flve
years ago, in the hurrah and,abandon of
newly developed towns in South Flor
ida, land changed hands at $1,000 an
acre and deeds conldn’t be written fast
enough to accommodate the eager spirits
of the investors.
That place has changed—-attorneys
and notary’s public’s services are not so
excitedly sought tor nowadays for simi
lar advice and work.
Things work slower, because vaulting
ambition and greed for hasty wealth
has overlapsed itself, and the fickel
jade, "fortune” having ontwinded itself,
is taking things very moderately and ac
commodating itself to the hum drum
affairs of ordinary mortals, and so
“things” are catching up.
The town of 700 persons is beautifully
located and surrounded with shining
lakes and rich foliaged orange trees.
That Lakeland is slowly and surely
recovering from the deep depression of
over land trading of past years, is evi
denced from the fact that this season,
within a radius of four miles of the
town, over 1,000 acres of new groves
have been planted. This is certainly a
healthy and inspiring work. L ! ke all
progressive Florida towns, it has a
good newspaper, the Advocate, another
evidence of municipial solidity and
prosperity, and to be fully abreast of the
moving procession of growth and suc
cess, we need but name the fait that a
gentleman, a limb of the law, Mr.
Briggs, who has light in his eye and
deals in briefs, wifi also handle elec
tricity by the Jacobi’s Candle power
aud make every denizeu of the burg see
that it is to bis interest to advertise
their town with the electric lights.
In passing we must not forget to state
that we met at Lakeland, Rev. Mr.
Thompson, a Presbyterian preacher, for
merly located at Crystal River, and who
is serving those people very acceptably
in a ministerial way,
A dozen miles south by east brings
the traveler to the metropolis of Polk
county, Bartow, where every prospect
pleases and the only object to cause
wretcLsngs of conscience is the too
astute politician.
Of this fair city and her pebble phos
phate we wtil speak in our next.
Passed Over the River,
Although it was thought that Or.
Harvy Knight, of Belleview. would re
cover from the stroke of paralysis which
overtook him on the 18tn of March, yet
such was not to be the case, for, on last
Friday morning all that was mortal of
this energetic, progressive and worthy
citizen ot Marion county only remained,
his spirit having fled.
He was forty-five years of age and
leaves a widow and son.
The doctor fame* to Marion county
over seven year* ago; became largely
interested in and greatly assisted in
building up the pretty village of Beiie
view, whose most prominent and repre
sentative citizen he was.
Fall of energy and ambition, he soon
found himself in the phosphate current,
and became largely interested in the
batd rock and pebble deposits.
Deceased was also interested in the
sulphur beds of the Windward Island.
He was a director in the Merchant’s
National Bank and Cashier McIntyre
and Directors H. W. Wright and Charles
Rhienaurer attended Dr. fu
neral at Relleview, Saturday.
Recessed was a valued citizen and bis
loss is greatly deplored.
The Lame Walk.
Pitiful indeed is the condition of those
who are confined to their beds or charies
unable to walk. How grateful all such
must feel when they recover from their
helplessness. B. B. B.(Botanie Blood Balm
has made more than one lame person
lira. Emma Griffiths, Unitia, Tenn..
writes; “My little boy had scrofala so bad
his knees drawn up and his knees
stiff, and he cop Id not walk. He derived
np benefit from medicines until ( tried
B. B. B. After using it a abort time
onlv, he can walk and has no pain. I
shall continue its use.”
Mirtle M. Tanner, Broonville, Ind.,
writes; “I had blood poison from birth.
Knots on my limbs were as large as hen’s
eggs. Doctors said 1 would be a cripple,
but B. B. B. has cured me sound and
well. I shall ever praise the day the men
who invented Blooa Balm were born.”
Tenney's bon-bons and chocolate

Monopoly Drugstore. feb24dtf
He Succeeded.
We all like to hear of people who suc
ceed, and the Banner never grows
weary of mentioning the names of Ma
rion county residents who have made a
big success in whatever line they em
barked in.
One of these truly successful persons
is A. D. Moore, of Candler, who came to
that place seven years ago from the old
Bay State, with precious little of filthy
lucre, but what is better, with energy,
strength and youthful ambition to suc
ceed.
To-day he has an orange grove for
which he refused SIO,OOO cash, and a
business worth several thousand dollars
a year, in taking care of groves for non
residents, having nnder his control and
management 150 acres of trees.
Better still, he not only lived comfort
able while accumulating this valuable
property, but established a character for
probity, enterprise and thrift that can
not be estimated by dollars and cents,
but has taken to his cozy home a comely
lassie who, as devoted wife, has added
sunshine and domestic happines in
quantity that no human metric system,
invented by man, can guage or analyze.
Mr. Moore has done more to make
Candler the most prosperous village in
Marion county than any man in it and for
it all be is respected and honored by
every citizen in it, and who are heartily
glad of it, in which the Banner joins,
with a long succession of prosperity.
Mtcanopy and Across Lots.
We made our first visit to Micanopv
last Saturday, and wbat we saw and the
impressions formed of so lovely a pi ice
are worthy of a column but spa:e will
barely permit us to say it is the mo3t
flourishing country village we have seen
in Florida, embowered as are its cozy
homes amid luxuriant and thrifty orange
groves.
A richer or fairer country does not ex
ist iu the state than can be found be
tween Micauopy and Orange Lake nor
is there a tract of country for the same
number of miles that has more aud
finer grovesor richer aud more prosper
ous vegetable farms. '
The landscape and the very air U
redolent with an atmosphere of pros
perity, thrift, progress and abundance.
Micanopy has all the requisites of a
thriving community, from a first-class
Seneral merchandise store, hotel, etc.,
own to a barber shop, not forgetting
the Tuakawilla News, over whose desti
nies Messers. Thompson A Buhl, preside
and ably too, for their plqck, energy and
"get up and dust” quatities, making the
journalastie tree thrive in that burg like
untothe proverbial bay arbor.
We have referred to the handsome
groves that line either side of the road
from Micanopy to Boardman and acres
and acres of vegetables. -
At tbe latter place Mr. Holies does the
merchandising, is buildings nice house,
as is Mr. Sampson, brother of the large
orange grower, whose packinghouse and
buildings have bten treated to a liberal
supply of paint.
Master at South Lake Weir.
The Easter services at South Lake
Weir, Sunday, were highly interesting
and attractive.
Professor Slreator preached an elo
quent aermon to a crowded house, while
the floral decoiations were certainly
beautitul and in their arrangement
evinced tlie rare taste of the ladies, for
which they are noted.
A pyramid, surmounted witii a cross
six feet in height, with ground work of
arba vita, covered with exquisite roses,
was tbe most striking* and lovely deco
ration in the building.
Another object that attracted great
attention and excited admiration, was a
small cross, covered with water lillies,
while all over the room were numerous
faces, trays and flower pots, filled with
flowers.
The music was excellent. Mrs, Al
her son presided at the organ, while Mrs.
Fisher led the singing.
In the language of one of the parish
oners, “the day waspeifect and its suc
cess complete, because we had our old
friend, Professor Streator, to preach for
us.”
Sunshine in the House !
"l a weary with work! ” the good wife sighed,
“But alter all,*’ she said,
“It's sweet to labor for those we love—
No wonder that maids will wed.”
A wise housewife lightens her toil and
gladdens the home circle by her cheerful
ness. But health is the first requsite, and
her just prerogative. * Health follows the
use of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription,
which repairs the ravages caused by those
peculiar diseases which afflict womankind.
It enriches the blood, cures the cough, in
creases the flesh, prevents hysteria, nervou
ness and low spirits, and is a verition, or
tho price ($1,00) refunded. Of druggists.
Faster Services.
Services in the various churchoi of the
city were appropriately observed.
The decoration of the Episcopal,
Methodist and Catholic churches were
especially noticable.
Roses in their freshness and fragrance
graced altar and chancel.
A cross, covered with Marchalneil
roses, was particularly noticable in the
Episcopal church anu drew all eyes to it.
The singing there wa3 aIBO very fine
and the solos of Miss Garnsby, Mr*. Jew
ett and Mr. Williams were greatly en
joyed.
The ladies of the Methodist church
with commendable diligence and devo
tion made the altar appear as a veritable
rose bed.
The exercises of the Young Peoples’
Society of Christian Endeavor Sunday
afternoon in the Methodist church was
full of interest and drew a large audi
ence.
Meeting of the Democratic Execu
tive Committee,
A meeting of the Democratic County
Executive Committee of Marion couuty

OCALA MARION COUNTV, FLORIDA. FRIDAY. APRIL 3. 1891.
THE NEW DEPOSITORY SAFE.
You (Will Find,it In the First
National Bank Building.
This beautiful and useful article which
has attracted so much attention since its
arrival, is located in the First National
Bank building: it is a now and novel
inovation in Ocala and the latest acqui
tion to this popular, reliable and trust
worthy fiscal institution.
The officers of the bask ,mve seen
tlie necessity of one of Halls’ new bank
depository safes and now the people of
Ocala and surrounding country can avail
themselves of its use and protection.
An inspection of Hal 1 ' Depository is
invited and when seen, i.,ose who have
valuable papers, mortgages, deeds, wills,
jewelry, or valuables of any kind, to
protect against loss or theft, will find a
depository for them and under their
own lock and key, with an assured
safety that must he truly refreshing to
those whose worldly goods give them so
much anxiety and uneasiness.
We need not refer to its mechanical
construction, which is really beautiful,
but to its fire and and burglar proof
qualities, for it is a noticeable fact that
Hall’s safes have been in use for over
half a century, and though tbe larger
part of the banking capital of the coun
try have been kept in them, burglars,
with all tbeir ingenuity aud devices,
have never succeeded in forcing their
way into them.
The Depository contains 140 boxes, in
size from 3, 5 and 7 inches in height
and width, to 16 inches deep, which you
cau rent from $3, $5 to $lO per box 'per
year, and to which the renter has a key
and sole aud alwolute control and occu
pancy.
The system on which the Deposit lock
works makes it absolutely safe. The
master key is held by the bank; this
only partially unlocks the box, needing
tha key held by the renter to complete
tbe opening, so that in case the renter
lease nis key, the finder cannot take ad
vantage of the renter’s loss and abstract
his valuables, as would have been the
case under the old method.
Again \ve assure our readers that tho
First National Bank officials are desi
rous the pnblic shall come and inspect
tli is wonderful 22,000 pound Hall steel
combination lock depository safe, and
assure those possessing valuable papers,
jewelry or plate, that they will find just
what they need for their safekeeping.
Dr. Lafferty's Lecture.
Du* J. j. Lnfferty, of Richmond, Va,
the most brilliant and gifted humorist of
the American pulpit, who has been filling
an engagement with the Mount Dora
Chautauqua, and is now courting Florida
climate on Indian river for “rhemnatjp
joints”, has consented to stop off one niglit
on bis return home and treat the fun
loving Oealians to his rare lecture “The
old times and the new.’’ Concerning him
the Atlanta Constitution said after his
visit to that city editorially: “ Everybody
who heard him will, make affidavit that
there is nothing funnier in Cervantes,
Mark Twain, Bill Nyo or any humorist
living or dead. A more amused and inter
ested audience never heard a more original
iqan. When they were not laughing they
were applauding uni when they were not
applauding they were listening as if their
lives depended on what was said.”

Delegates,
Tlie fruit and vegetable growers of
Orange Lake, Mclntosh, Boardman, Evins
ton and Micanopy held a large and enthu
siastic meeting at Center Point, Saturday,
to elect delegates to attend the Inter-Sta te
Railroad Commission, which were in ses

week.
President Ditto, of the sub-Alliance, was
made president, and Editor Thompson, of
tho Micanopy News, secretary. Messrs.
Hicksou, of Orange Lake, Nonvorthy, of
Mclntosh, CoL DuPuy, of Boardman.
Brown, of Evinston, and Johnston, of
Micanopy, were appointed a committee to

Win. llicksqn, W. H. Kennedy and Gaits

Those present interchanged views on the
good that would come of a proper repre

inter-state commission
The Democratic clubs of that county
commissioner district then met, when Mr.
Barron resigned as a member of the county
executive committee, and Mr. J. 11. Gaits

place.
As Mr. Barron will shortly move into
Alachua county, the club recommended

"No Need furCnilun."
Mr. W. O. Massey, wbq took a suc
cessful phosphate trip to West Florida,
returned home last Saturday, aud in re
lating his interesting aud exicting ex
periences told of thopmyer of a “colored
brother" on the boat, between Apalachi
cola and East Point. A fearful storm
overtook their watqr journey and in the
lashing of the angry waves it looked as
iftheir little boat would go to Davy
Jones' locker sure. In the trepede.tiOn
and anxiety of the hour, the colored ax
horter sank on his knees aud in water
np to his chin , poured forth a fervent
prayer to the God of the universe for
the protection and safety of the boat
and those on board. Among other
things be said: “Oh, God, thou know

We need thee; come thyself, don’t send
thy son, Jesus Christ, for die am no time

was answered.
