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,

EasIer at south lake Weir.

The Easter services at South Lake
Weir, Sunday, were highly interesting
aud attractive.
Professor Streator preached an eIo-
quent sermon to q crowded house, while
the floral decorations were certainly
beautiful and in their arrangement
evinced the rare taste of tbe ladies, for
which they are noted.
A pyramid, surmoanted with a cross
six feet in height, with ground work OF
arba vita, covered with exquisite roses,
was the 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 lilies,
while all over the room were numerous
yaces, trays and flower pots, filed with
flowers.
The music was excellent. AIRS, AL.
Der son presided at the organ, while Mrs.
Fisher led the singing.
In the language of one of the parish

THE NEW DEPOSITORY SAFE.

Yon iWiil Find ft 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 new and novel
Innovation in 0cala and the latest acqui-
tion to this popular, reliable and trust
worthy fiscal institution.
The officers of the bank aase seen
the 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 Hall Depository is
invited and when seen, Islose 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 be truly refreshing to
those whose worldly goods give them so
much anxiety and uneasiness.
We need not refer to It's mechanical
construction, which is really beautiful,
but to its fire and and burglar proof
qualities, for it is a noticeable fact that
Halls safes have been in use for over
half century, and though the larger
part of the banking capital of the coun-
try have been kept in them, burglars.

have never succeeded in forcing their
way into them.
The Depository contains 146 boxes. in
size from 3, 5 and inches in height
and width, to l6 inches deep, which Won
can rent from 50, $5 to $40 per box Der
year, and to which the renter has kew

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
the key held by the renter to complete
the opening, so that IN case the renter
lcsss his key, the finder cannot take adj
vantage of the renters loss and abstract
bis yaluables. as would have been the
case under the old method.
Again we assure our readers that the
First National Bank officials are desi-
rous the public shall come and inspect
this wonderful $4,000 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.

NO Need for Cnilun."

Mr.. w. o. Massey, who took a sue
cessful phosphate trip to West Florida,
returned home last Saturday, aud in re-
lating his interesting and exciting ex-
periences told of the prayer ofa "colored
brother" on the boat, between Apalachi-
cola and East Point. A fearful storm
overlook their water Journey and in the
lashing of the angry waves it looked as
if-their little boat would go to Davy
Jones locker sure. In the trepedation
and anxiety of the hour, the colored AK
horter sank on his knees aud in water
up to his chin poured forth feryent
prayer to the God of the universe for
the protection and safety of the boat
and those on board. Among other
things lie said: "0h, God, thou know
est our peril and need for assistance.
We need theei come thyself, don't send
thy son, Jesus Christ, for dis am no time

Easter Services.

Services in the various churches of the
city were appropriately observed.
The decoration of the Episc opal,
Methodist and Catholic churches were
especially noticeable.
Roses in their freshness and fragrance
graced altar and chancel.
A cross. covered with Marchalneil
roses, was particularly noticeable in the
Episcopal church and drew all eyes to it..
The singing there was also very fine
and the solos of Miss Gamsby, Mr.. jew
EFT and Mr.. Williams were greatly en-
joyed.
The ladies of the Methodist church
with eommendable diligence and devo-
ton made the altar appear as 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 large audi
ence.

Mlcanopy ana Across Lots.

We made our first visit to Mieanopy
last Saturday, and what we saw aud the
impressions formed of so lovely plice
are worthy OF column but space will
barely permit US to say it is the most
fiourishing 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 in the state than can be found be-
tween Micsnopy and Orange Lake nor
is there tract of country for the same
number of miles that has more aud
finer groves or richer and more prosper
ous vegetable farms.
The landscape and the very air is
redolent with an atmosphere of pros
perity, thrift, progress and abundance.
Micanopy has all the requisites of a
thriving community, from a first-class
general merchandise store, hotel, ETC.,
down to barber shop, not forgetting
the Tuskawilla News, over whose desti-
mics MesseEs. Thompson & Ruhl, preside
and ably too, for their pluck, energy and
Aget up and DUST qualities, making the
Journalistic tree thrive in that burg like
untothe pgoTerbial bay arbor.
We have referred TO the handsome
groves that line either side of the road
from MicanOpy to Boardman AMI acres
and acres of vegetables.
At the latter place Mr.. Bolles does the
merchandising, is building a nice house,
as is Mr. Sampson, brother of the large
orange grower, whose packing house and
buildings have been treated to liberal
supply Of paint.
