As the warm days arrive the farm ¬

condition for the last plowingMelons are ripening in our little
1 burg now and farmers will soon bebusy hauling them to market
The peach crop is almost a failurehere this year with the exception ofa few early ones

ty¬
Ti1 though there it not a very goodcrop
Farmers of this vicinity are plant¬

ly missed during her absencer The prayer meeting Sunday was
well attended and all present seemedinterested in such a way as to work
j for its continued success We hopethey will be faithful in their work
The preparation for childrens da-yi progressing slowly at present butwe hope however that it will be asuccess
Seems that the Gaiterville corres ¬
pondent of the Ocala Star is greatlyinterested in that reckless driver

To the Editor Ocla Banner fl a allow me space in your val-
uable
¬
paper to ask the HonorableBoard of County Commissioners afew questions for my information
I see in their last report that theyhave called an election to bond thecounty for 50000 Now if Marioncounty is not able to pay 50000 for-
a new court house do we need it atpresent Why do you want to bondthe county for 50000 when youhave already awarded the contract-for 48000 And why did you givethe contract to this firm in Ocalawhen the Jacksonville firm offered todo the same work for 4000 lessNow whose property will it enhance-the value of if it is the farms ofMarion county is it right for the peo¬
ple of the city of Ocala to be taxed-
to pay for it or if it is the city prop ¬
erty is it right for the farmers to betaxed to pay for it Is it right toleave a bonded debt for posterity topay Can any of you honorablegentlemen see how Marion countywill be more able to pay 90000 for acourt house twenty years hence-
If an individual gives his note for alarge sum of money to build a fine
house and to commence paying for itin eleven years and finish at the endof twenty years if he could and pay ¬
ing 4 per cent interest all the timewould you not think he was a fool
If so would it not apply to a county-
as wellNo doubt you have heard of the
million dollar congress and the bil¬
lion dollar congress but did you everbefore hear of the 50000 county com-
missioners
¬
or do you expect to be-
come¬
millionionaires in this bond is¬
sue as Grover Cleveland didWill it take a 50000 court house to
preserve the recordsNow gentleman I voted for every
one of you at the general electionand will you please answer thesequestions for my information

These are the lands recently soldby the United Land Company to theConsolidated Naval Stores Companytogether with the private holdings ofMr B Beacham in the southernpart of Qsceola and Brevard counties
The land is one continuous bodyand contains 704592 acres and em¬
braces the virgin timber ridge be ¬

The consideration is 1962480divided into the following payments1175000 cash 600000 in ninety daysand the balance in one and two years
