OF the Banner

Correspondence OF the Banner:
Ocala's little suburb, "LeRoy," has
been wrapped in smoke since last
week, owing to forest fires all around.
Our little town seems to have grown
somewhat the past year. Some nice
new cottages can be seen scattered
around, and Hotel Leroy has several
northern visitors seeking q quiet home
for the winter, and occasionally Ocala
has them ON her streets buying and
supplying themselves withnecessaries.
Orange shipping is still in progress,
and prices are getting to be more salts
factory.
New, visitors are well pleased with
our section of country, and no doubt
the industries of Ocala will be bene-
fitted by having Leroy situated near
it.
The Banner is sought after by our
visitors, and thinking perhaps that
you would like to have the news, /
have presumed to pen the above dots.

president of the flourishing society
presided, aud introduced the speakers
by number. They proved to be Ora
Gle Gaffney, Tom Farris, Josie Rogers,
Justin Ogle, Anna Lummus and Will
Gary. All acquitted themselves well,
and deserve great credit for the man
ner in which they committed their
pieces and the grace, ease and self
possession with which they delivered
them.
Only two OF the speakers needed
prompting, and they but word each.
The judges, Prof. Richards, Judge
McConathy and c. l.. Bittinger,
agreed that Will Gary, in the delivery
of his piece, had made the highest
points, in voice, articulation, gesture,
memory and general effect, and the
silver medal was unanimously award
ed TO him.
BY invitation of the president OF
the society, c. l.. Bittinger presented
the same.
The exercises were interspersed with
some good singing, and the evening
was greatly enjoyed by all present.
The society is doing good and mo-
bic WORK in teaching the young folks
the baneful effects of alcohol Ia the
human system.
