The Songs Of '9S

The same publishers who issued
the war songs which appealed 10
the American people in 'Gl-G5
give promise of duplicating their
record IN this war. We have re
ceived from the Oliver DItson
Company, Boston, copies of three
new patriotic songs which bear
out this statement.
"Old Glory is Waving' we
reviewed in previous issue
All that we SAID of this song by
Charles Foneyn Manney at that
time is substantiated by the en-
thnsiastic reception it is having
in all parts OF the country
Our Country Forever' is an
other favorite. The words are
by Frank l.. Stanton, arranged
to familiar melody by Haynes
Meredith. This song was produc-
ed in Boston by Mr. Stephen
Townsend, the well known bari
tone, and was received with grea-
favor. 1t was used by many of
the leading organizations on Dec
Grafton Day with emphatic sue
cess.
"COIumbia's Banner on the
Sea, by William Arms Fisher,
is a beautiful naval song with a
vim and swing to it which capti-
Yates all who hear it We re-
commend all three songs to the
attention OF VOcaliStS The title
pages are works of art, being
printed IN patriotic cOlOrS With
appropriate designs.

A Pretty Piece of Work

y. q. Gates, proprietor Of the
Star Wagon Works, has recent ~
finished for G.. r. Tydings' chlI-
dren one Of the handsomast little
pony carts that was ever put up
by an Ocala house. Every part
of the little vehicle was made by
Gates. The body is of ash,
neatly vanished, retaining al
most the natural color OF the
wood. The seats are very prettiiy
upholstered in tan leather. The
folding seats are arranged after
a style invented by the maker,
which is worthy of patent. In
one position it is a single seated
affair, and with simple reverse
there are two comfortable seats.
The little cart is very light and
strong, capa Bile Of carrying three
or four grown persons. Mr..
Tydings has a fleet footed but
dimlniiivc bay, Florida pony,
who from the proud way he
draws the cart, one would SAY,
is conclous Of his beauty.
