New Bank for Ocala

Ocala is to have another bank,
and DIR. Edward Delouest, our
own progressive and confident
citizen, is the proprietor. He has
leased the commodious and splen-
didly equipped office and vaults
of the old First National Bank
from Messrs. Kountz & Sons
through D. w. DAVIS, their
agent, and will be open for busi-
ness between the 1st and the 18th
of August. The institution will
be conducted under the name of
Edward Delouest, banker, and
will be prepared to do a general
banking business, and will have
ample capital to meet the de-
mands as the business requires 1t.
DR.. Delouest is one of our most
conservative business men and
one whose advise and opinion is
sought after by others, and
whose business Judgment is high
ly valued.
He rightly thinks that Ocala
can support two banks, if prop
erly conducted, and is going to
make the venture, and the in
creased banking facilities offered
will assist in drawing back most
of the business that has been done
elsewhere since the bursting of
our late financial sink holes.

From Our Young MarOOners

The list has been enjoying a
visit over Sunday from several of
it's Ocala friends. Misses Lula
Gary, Lula Liddon and Mr.. Mai
lory Liddon came down Friday
for stay of several days, and
we have been enjoying their visit
very much. Messrs. Beniie
Weathers, Make Moody, Lee
Miller, Gene Cox, Dell Moody,
Robert Matthews, Sanford Jew
ett, Paul Durand and Allen
Walkley came Saturday.
We had thirty-five at dinner
Sunday. General and Judge
Bullock came down to spend the
day Sunday and Mrs. B. wore an
unusually happy smile in conse-
quence.
Friday and Saturday nights
the list had a dance, in which, of
course, the commanding officers
did not participate.
Beatrice Sinclair and Flossie
Dukes have joined our ranks.
Frank Matthews is our master
musician, and helps to enliven
our evenings very much with his
harmOnica and guitar.
Frank, Julien and Dave are our
fishermen, and, Friday evening,
they brought in a catch of about
100 fine fish; in fact, they have
furnished US with the greatest
quantity of fish, which has been
greatly enjoyed by the entire
company.
Friday and Saturday nights we
were "marauders" indeed, for,
after the dances were over, the
most unearthly sounds were
heard in all parts of the building.
Some of the girls initiated roos-
ters and all other barn yard
fowls. The boys exploded fire
arms, danced, and the greatest
pardemonium reigncd until ma
ture was utterly exhausted, and
that was about or 2:3O a. m.
DR.. and Mrs. s. p. Eagleton
and Mr.. Donovan were very
pleasant callers during the past
few days.
Excursions to Ocklawaha,
Gambler, and over the lake to the
island are among our most pleas
ant diversions.
Mr.. Mitchell of Gambler and
Mr.. Aver of Leesburg were well
come callers Sunday.

fast recovering from their slight
lndispositions, and they are their

From The Girls Realm.
The Dutch woman is before and above all
things housewife. Indeed. her love Of home
comes very near akin to worship, and the great
est compliment that can be paid to her is to
praise the neatuoss and sweetness Of the house
that IS her kingdom. She is famous all the
world over for her remarkable cleanliness, and
even in the very poor quarters Of the ciues,
where the houses are small and crowded to-
gethor, the windows are daintly d,ckcd with
curtains of spOtiySs white. the rooms well swept
and tidy. the humble furniture care fully busted
and polished. This desire for cleanliness. IN

Soon after dawn Of the first day the Sultan goes
to prayer at the mosque. and then proceeds to
the Throne Room Of Dolmabaghcheh. where he

throne prayers are said for him; then the civil

and the Ministers at their head, dehe before
their sovereign and kiss the scarf which lies
before the throne. The Sheik-ul- Islam heads
the religious functionares and recites a prayer
as he passes before His Majesty. The ceremony
over the Sultan takes luncheon and soon re-
turns to Yildiz.
The days OF Bairam are then devoted to FOR

Sultans such journeys were made in stately

the journey is done in steam launch.
The third great function during Ramazan is
the Leilei Kadir or Night Of Power. which is
observed on the 9th The Night of Power is
considered the most sacred of the sacred nights
Of Isamsm, and is observed in commemora-

from which i, revealed by Gabriel in por

of this night are said to be innumerable, and it
is believed during it the whole animal and vege-

Almighty. The grace Of the Almighty descends

during that night have the same worth before
