CORN HUSKING.
Young People Have a Gay
Time.

One of the most enjoyable social
events of the season took place last
night at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Will
liam Clapp when about 30 young people
from the city drove to their capacious
farm house and spent the evening in a
general good time at good old fash
ioned corn husking bee.
The party left the city at half past
seven in two large teams. The ride
both ways was most delightful and they
made the welkin ring with joyous
laughter and with the notes of the trum.
pet.
Upon their arrival at the farm they
were ushered into the parlor where each
was introduced to the family of the host
after which they all repaired to the
barn where they set to work to husk a
large pile of corn that was there ready
for them.
When this was done they were treat
ed to bounteous supper at the house.
After supper the party gathered in
the parlor where in a very fitting speech
Principal o. d. Mathieson presented in
behalf of the guests a very beautiful
standing lamp 10 Mr.. and Mrs. Clapp.
Mr.. Clapp responded in thanking them
for their gift and it was the occasion of
much laughter that Mr.. Clapp was so
greatly surprised for he had not noticed
the lamp until Mr.. Mathioson had near
ly finished speaking.
The remainder of the evening waa
spent in dancing and in social inter-
course until late at night the party
broke up and after three hearty cheers
for Mr.. and Mrs. Clapp they set out on
their homework journey highly pleased
with their entertainment and deeply
grateful to their kind host and hostess
who did so much to make the evening
an enjoyable one.

Yet Other improvement.

Maj. Phil F. Brown, manager
of the beautifully appointed
Plant System hotel, the Ocala
House, ever with an eye to the
comfort and pleasure of his
guests, and to the beautifying of
his house, has just completed
some pretty work on his spa
cious dining room, and the effect
is to give the room the semblance
of a fairy bower. A beautiful
new coat Of paper has been ap-
piled to the walls and ceilings,
pretty gilt mouldings belt the
room, and the wainScotting and
other woodwork received fresh
application from the varnisher's
brush. This, with the fresh palm
leaves and evergreens that adOrn
the walls, and is not allowed to
wither before a fresh supply is
brought to take its place, makes
the scene one of beauty, taste and
simple elegance.

Joshua a Big Success.

The best audience SO far this
season gathered in the Opera
House last night to greet Joshua
Simpkins, and Joshua didn't dis
appoint them either, but came up
to the most sanguine expecta-
tions. livery feature Of this
great rural comedy was good and
some parts most excellent. The
production and scenic effect was
vivid, startling and realistic, es-
pecialIy the saw mill scene, with
a real buzz saw cutting through
a log, with a man bound across
il. This scene brought many
shudders and loud applause.
Joshua himself was just immense
in his character of rough, typi-
cal hayseed. He is a born &C
tor and one of the best comedians
ever seen in Ocala. With every
turn of his body or opening OF
his mouth some one had to
laugh. His specialties in songs
were good, new ard very funny.
Hezekiah Skinner, the tavern
keeper, was not far behind, and
Samantha Twitter, the old maid :,
was a regular circus in herself.
The girls were pretty, vivacious
and good actors, and Softly, the
country lad, performed some
very clever gymnastic feats. The
music by the orchestra between
acts was fully worth the price of
admittance. The pieces were
mostly new and some Of them
rendered in very superior man
ner. The descriptive fantasia,
GA Hunt in the Black Forest, "
was very well rendered and So
licited much applause. Should
Joshua Simpkins ever visit Ocala
again he will be we'll received.

OUR COUNTY CONGRESS
Proceedings of the Commissioners at
the First Meeting of '3S

There were fewer people pres
cnt at the regular monthly meet
ing of the board Of county COM
missioners Monday than usual
owing 10 doubt to the cold snap.

sioners Chitty and Williamson

regret of his patrons. He said he
was going away.
Sheriff Hodge asked that a pis-

capture. He also impressed on
the commissioners the import
ance of doing something in fer
reting out the murderer of Arms.
At the time he was sick abed and
could not go down, but instructed
three deputies to see that all in
quest was held.
Mallory, Weston & Kelly, who
have been leasing our county con-
victs, notified Sheriff Hodge that
owing to the fact that they would
have all the state convictS for
1898 to do the work on their tur-
pentine farms, they would receive
no more from this county. The
contract runs from one month to
another. Allen said the board
would try and find work on our
county roads.
w. w. Clyatt appeared for the
mayor Of Anthony in regard tC
the road taxes due that town for
1895 and 1896. 1t was a great
surprise TO several members OF
the board, as they did not know
that any work had ever been done
on the corporate roads of that
place.
Mcleod was authorized to bic
$l25 on big safe in the Butfum
Loan & Trust Co.'S. office, that
was to be sold to satisfy taxes
but said Z. G.. Chambliss would
give $500 for it. The owners o
the safe had redeemed it. The
safe cost $500.

who said that Smith was WOrkin;
for the Plant System at Lakelan'
and there were differences be
tween Smith and Mrs. Harte
which caused this sad state c
affairs. The board was unan
nous that the man having wOr

children.
