THE OCALA BANKER.
HALL MAKES IT SAFE.
Now Cashier Mclntyre Defies the Arts
ofthe“Kmght of the J’.mmey.”
j The cagh deposits of the First National
j Bank have become so heavy, that it was
no longer deemed prudent to trust their
| portable treasures to the wiiey maehi
; nations of the expert aud scientific
i burglar, anu “to make assurance doubly
sure,” they have invested in ono of
I Hall’s Safe and Lock Company’s Bur
glar Proof Bank chests, and with that
i in position, and their cash deposits in it,
the obliging cashier and all the officers
iof the bank can lay down to pleasant
dreams and snap their somnolent fingers
at all the bank burglar i in Christendom.
To look at this insignificant mass of
steel, ono would not suspect its inde
structable construction, and the fact
that only 65 inches in height, it weighs
fully 10,000 pounds. It is potent that so
valuable and indespensible an instru
ment for the protection of the deposi
tor’s cash, only adds another steel rivet
to the confidence of those who keep
their unused wealth in the custody of
the First National Bank.
Mr. John S. Franz, of Sefner, state
agent for the incomparable Hall Safe &
Lock Company’s Burglar Proof Safes and
Vaults, is superintending the placing in
position the safe for the Bank. Mr. F.
is not only a most genial gentleman but
a born salesman, whote manners are so
winning that if you only think you need
a safe, the sale is already made.
Wedded (o Florida.
Squire Hotel Keeper and f armer Ben
DuPree Ilodgo and wife are back from
Sumter, S. C., and Ben says if you
would present him with the beet ICO
acre farm in the Palmetto State and
make him live on it, he wouldn’t leave
Florida for it. He says Sumter is the
brag town of the State, but in compari
son it is no where beside Ocala. He
says there is more life and business ac
tivity ar.d money in circulation in Ocala
in a day, than you will see there in a
month. There it is solely cotton, pay
day once a year—here, oranges, phos
phate and money every day in the
year’s < alendar.

called to the fact, that the Ocala Library

Sleeping His Last Sleep.
Many of our citizens knew Mr. F. 11.
llaycraft, of Fellowship, and all ad
mired his pleesaut and cheering disposi
tion and manly and honorable charac
ter. He is no longer living, and his
friends and family mourn for him be
cause of his death which occurred last
Friday in Louisville, Ky., whither he
had gone from his Marion county home
the previous Monday to visit his son,
Samuel 11, where he died of heart fail
ure.
Deceased was born in Kentucky some
seventy odd years ago, in after years he
sought a home in DeSota, lowa, and some
five years ago came to Marion county
tvliere he and his family, consisting of
his sons, Hugh and Charles, and daugh
ter, Mrs. Beck, have since resided,
While it was reasonable to expect
that in the natural course of events Mr.
llaycraft could not continue many more
years on earth, yet the announcement
of his death produced quite a shock
among Ids friends and acquaintenees;
many were the kind expressions heard
of tiie good will felt for the dead man
and the exalted estimation held of him
for the noble qualities of head and heart
which Mr. llaycraft possessed. May he
rest in peace.
A Card.
To the Editor of the Banner :
Your informant, as to some things
stated in a “ personal ’’ last week, was
misinformed. I never had a charge in
Nashville, Tenn., and, therefore, never
built up a church in that city.
While greatly appreciating the gener
osity of friends in the tribute paid, I
must protest against seeming quietly to
accept, much less to claim, that tribute
as due me.
Yours, with kiuduess,
S. V. M cCclklk.
Gallant Rufus Chaate.
On a pretty girl saying to Rufus Choate,
“I am very sad-yon see” he replied, “O,
no; you belong to the old Jewish sect;
you are very fair-I-set!”
Nothing adds so much to the beauty
of a fair girl, as a clear, bright, healthy
complexion, and to secure this pure
blood is indispensable. So many of the
so-called blood purifiers sold to improve
a rough, pimply, muddy skin, only drive
the scrofulous humors from the surface
to some internal vital orgati.and disease
and death is the inevitable result. On
the contrary, Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medi
cal Discovery strikes directly at the root
of the evil, by driving* the imparities
entirely out of the system, and with a
fresh stream of pure blood Hawing
througli tiie veins, nothing but the
softest and fairest complexions can re
sult.
On Their Outing,
Otto Mente, the crack Young America
fireman, and Frank E. Barrett, tiie best
“devil” that ever drew a diploma from
a priming office, have gone to Cedar
Keys for a weeks’ fuu and frolic. They
went via Dunnellon and Crys.al River,
where, in a sailing boat, they sailed over
tiie blue water of the Gulf.
A Change of Base.
Harry Holley, who has been occupy
ing the responsible position of civil en
gineer for the S. S. O. ec G. R’y, will
sever his connection witli that corpora
tion and witli wife and baby proceed

man for the Holly Laud Company, of
which his father, the Hon. 11. W. lloliv,
of Winnebago, Minn., is President. .The
company possess 60,000 acres of as tine
land as the breezes blow over. Mr. and
Mrs. Holly will be accompanied to their
new home by Miss Rubie JWeston, who
will remain until December. To one
and all a safe aud pleasant journey with
attendeut prosperity is the wish of this
paper.

Mr. Milton F. Hood, has disposed of
his interest in the Baptist Wituess, to

Their Honors Won in St. Augustine,
Their Feasting Done at Home.
Everybody knows with what a gener
ous baud the Hon. Jno: F. Dunn dis
penses his bounty, and the fact, too, that
wheti the Ocala Rifles and Protective
Hose Company No. 2 won their prizes
at St. Augustine last month, bow he sent
them a congratulatory telegram and told
the boys to celebrate their victories at
his expense.
On second thought the “soldier boys”
thought it would he the proper thing to
restrain their enthusiasm and admira
tion for their most magnificent friend,
Mr. Dunn, aud have him present at
their “ rejoicing festival” in Ocala.
It was ordered thus, and on last
Friday night the Ocala Rifles assembled
at the lovely residence of Captain R. B.
McConnell, and the only thing to mar
the victorious toasts that were drank
that night with hearts overflowing with
rejoicings and good will towards their
benefactor, was the absence of their
staunch friend, the Hou. Jno. F. Dunn,
prevented by illness in ins family, from
being in attendance.
Captain McConnell presided, and
under the inspiring influences of Mes
dame Mumm’s Extra Dry, but which
sparkled and effervesced with the scin
tillations of the electric touch, the boys
held the social fort, and if it had not
been Friday night woulij. not have gone
home till morning.
Seeking Breezy Spots
The following persons departed over
the F. S. R R. during the past week to
get a whiff of cooler air, viz . Mr. and
Mrs. A. F. Kellogg, who go to St. Paul to
visit their son, a prominent attorney of
that city ; Lon Coley, for Opelika, Ala.;
Mrs. 11. Zacharias, daughter and friend,
for Sewannee Springs; J. S. Cureton for
Trion, S. C.; Mrs. Wm. M. Bangs for
Marietta, Ga.; Mrs. Col. A. L. Eichelber
ger, Marietta, Ga.; Capt. Carney, of Lake
Weir, for Asheville, N. C.; Frank Moses
of Candler for Detroit; Samuel P. Sligh,
with seven of his family, for Sparten
burg, S. C; Albertus and John W. Vogt,
for Asheville, N. C.; Dr. Turner and
friend, of Inverness, for Ormond by the
sea; names not known : one to Detroit;
two to Birmingham, Ala.; two for Sene
ca, SC; one for Indian Springs, Ga: and
nine more for other places.
Discovered by the People.
Many o f the inventors and vendors of
the viirious nostrums that are offered to
the pnblic to-day, only to disappear and
lie succeeded by something else to-morrow,
make the most sweeping and absurd claims
for them. They are heralded as cure-alls,
and it is no wonder that the public has be
come suspicious. The most remarkable
fact in the history of S. 8. S. (for, unlike
most other proprietary medicines, it has a
history) is this: Thao a great many of its
virtues have been discovered by the people
themselves. It has never been advertised
as a specific for skin cancer, and yet there
are many testimonials going to show that
S. S. S. will cure that dreaded disease.
These testimonials are of such a character
that there is no “going behind the re
turns.”
The Cultivation of Rice.
Captain Chambers, of Orange I.ake, is
taking a deep interest in the cultivation
of this staple product, and with this ob
ject in view, is trying to secure the co
operation of the rice mill builder and
the farmers to grow it. He has been in
correspondence with W. P. Russell, a
brother of our popular state superin
tendent of public instruction, at Charles
town, S. C., and largely interested in
rice growing and milling, whom be has
induced to meet our farmers, at their
forthcoming quarterly meeting, at Ft.
McCoy, August 18th, where he will tell
them many things of interest and profit.
We understand President Long, of the
Marion Alliance, will request the pres
ence of delegates of Alliancemen from
the counties of Alachua, Putnam, Brad
foul, Citrus, Sumter, Orange and Lake.
It is an important and vital question
and our tillers of the soil should be on
hand, to see if they cannot take hold of
a product that will take tliej place of
cotton. We trust there will be a big
rally at Ft, McCoy.
Shakespeare will please excuse us if we
modify him thus; Thrice is he dad who
hath his system strengthened with Ayer’s
Sarsaparilla, and had he but naked,
though arrayed in furs, whose blood is
poor or with disease corrupted. An in
comparable medicine.
Phosphate Hunters.
Mr. C. M. McElroy.of Fairfield, lowa,
and Chicago, au old newspaper man,
with other windy city capitalists, ar
rived in Ocala last week, with Mr. Gra
ham, of the firm of Graham,
Cos., in quest of some of our rich hard
rock phosphates. If the aforementioned
firm cannot give them an appetite and a
fill of phosphate, then there is no use
for other venders of the material to try.
A famous Washington gambler, it is
said, will soon go to preaching. He
would have begun it ten years ago, but he
has only just now found a cure for his
cough. It is Dr. Bull’s Cough. Syrup.

The local editor who visits the city 's
official palace once a week has discover
ed that the name of L. J. Haialey was
duly recorded on the dockets, but erased
at the request of his honor, Mayor
Anderson, and as this occurred during
onr weekly visits, we did not see the
name and so reported.
Again, we understand, it is the custom
of the city court to record no arrests un

at conclusions, are generally “off their
base.” Because there are numberless
patent medicines of questionable value,
it dosen’t follow that all are worthless.
Don’t class Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy

OCALA, MARION COUNTY, FLORIDA, FRIDAY AUGUSL’ 7, 1891.
MARION COUNTY’S NORMAL.
Is Theoretical and Practical Lessons—
Social Features. Etc.
Anthony, Fla , Aug. 3.1591.
To the Editor of the Banner.
Everybody in and about Anthony is
stricken with the educational craze. The
pass word is “culture” ar.d with an en
rollment of over forty-seven, the cry is*
“still they come.”
Could the parents of Marion county
see the sweet, earnest faces of the fair,
young women and strong young men, as
they studiously bend over a task, or ani
matedly recite in class, they would re
joice in the thought that ail this will be
used for the benefit of their children
the eotning term.
Well I know that “he who blowetli
his own horn bloweth a 6hrill blast,”
but when such scholars as Profs. F. N.
Felkel and J. J. Stuart endorse and
praise our methods, when men of their
experience say that it is the very bee
normal they have ever attended (except
those conducted by themselves) we may
be excused for a little extra pluming.
The school is especially good in that
the methods used and the material are
such as young teachers will find useful
in actual experience.
We have a class of ungraded primary
pupils, kindly furnished by Ine parents
of Anthony, upon whom the methods
are actually tried, where we are con
fronted with the same problems which
stare t)ie inexperienced teacher in the
face in her school room ; we wrestle
with the identical bug-boars, and teach
the object method w ithout those appa
rently indispensable charts, maps, etc.,
which every well supplied school pos
sesses and almost every county school
lacks.
The school is a great improvement
on the one of last year and the social
feature is as conscientiously studied a s
any other.
Teachers who have finished a course
at other normals arc coming in every
day to take our course also.
The good people of Anthony have
demonstrated that Southern hospitality
is not the thing of ante helium days and
last Saturday eve each house in which
teachers lodged was urenaded by the
very excellent brass band.
Our teachers are developing unsus
pected talent in elocution.
Mrs. Smillie has under her care the
departments of physical culture, calis
thenics and elocution,and I must say
that she seems able to positively make
lasent, for she is constantly briuging
forth debutants. The teachers have
seized upon physical culture and the
improvement in bearing, carriage and
movement, is wonderful.
I will write you a report of our next
program.
Prof. Felkel, of the State Normal,
gave U3 a very scientific aud clear lec
ture on “Celestial Bodies ” and made
himself felt in every department of our
work the few days he was with us; we
were loath to let him go.
Prof. J. J. Stuart, of the State Agri
cultural College, spent two days with us,
days full to the brim with practical talks
and pleasant Intercourse. VVo 'vrcrc so
sorry to let him’ go.
Mr. G. G. Mathews, member of the
County School Board, will lecture to us
on “Life’s Aims” on Friday, Aug. 14.
Happy Hoosiars.
Wm. Timmons, postmaster of Idaville',

“Find Electric Bitters to be the best kid
ney and liver medicine, made mo feel like

CATARRH
Is a most loathsome, dangerous, and preva
lent malady. It is a blood disease, usually
of Scrofulous origin, and for which local
treatment is useless. Before health Is pos
sible, the poise o must be eradicated from
the system, and to da this
SUCCESSFULLY
the disease must lie treated through the
blood. For this purpose no remedy is so
effective as Ayer’* Sarsaparilla.
“ For the past eight years, t have been
severely afflicted with Catarrh, none of the
many remedies 1 tried affording me any re
lief. *My digestion was considerably im
paired, aud my slpep disturbed by phlegm
dropping into ray throat In September
last I resolved to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla,
began to use it at once, and am glad to
testify to a great improvement in my health.”

“ My daughter, 16 years old, was afflicted
with Catarrh from her fifth year. Last Au

Mr. Mills says that if the government
has the right to prescribe eight hours as

The newspaper; that's not “on top”
has one advantage over the one that is.
When “fly time” comes and causes a “let
go,” it is not hurt so much by what fol
lows. Not being “on top” the “fall”
is not so conspicuous.- We know some
papers that have shrunk all to nothing
by the hot, dull summer. But the Ban
neb, the “old and always reliable,” sum
mer and winter, keeps on in the even
tenor of its size. See its bioad summer
folds and breezy matter. Measured by
any yard stick you’ll find the Banner
always the same. Like that famous
river, it “gees on forever.” Go steady

The stories told by Henry M. Stanley
of the dwarf that he found in Africa
aroused so much public curiosity that
Mr. Cross, the Liverpool dealer in curios,
gave orders to his agents to securest any
price the best specimens that could be
found of this curious race. After a long
and tedious search in the depths of the
Dark Continent a remirkable female
pigmy was procured from a native tribe,
by which she bad been captured, and
was brought safely to Liverpool. She is
30 inches in height, of well developed
body and jet black complexion, with a
peculiarly monkeyish expression, and a
nose So flat that the low er part of her
face resembles closley the muzzle of an
animal. She has 1 earned little English
and converses freely, so far as her vo
cabulary goes, with those around her.
Another decidedly hnman accomplsh
ment she lias also acquired, and smoke 9
the best cigars with a relish.
