st. Marks Reception.

The parish reception at st. Marks
Episcopal rectory last Wednesday
evening was an occasion of more than
ordinary interest. Not only was it
so to members of the congregation
alone, but to very large number of
guests who were priviled to attend.
For some days past the event has
been the topic of conversation among
townspeople and just as everyone ex-
pected, it eliminated in most en-
iovable social affair.
The scenes i'll the spacious and
brilliantly Illuminated drawing
rooms with the tasty decorations Of
pot plants and evergreens, together
with the happy groups of ladies and
gentlemen and children, presented a
picture most pleasing to see.
The program of vocal and instru-
mental music, in which Mesdames
Smith and Wilson, the Misses Nor
agne and Mr.. Coleman took part,
was delightfully."- pleasing and in
teresting feature of the evening, and
each number was given hearty ap-
plause.
Refreshments of chocolate and cake
were served.
Rev. and Mrs. Richey and the
ladies of st Marks have reduced the
knacI of entertaining to a science,
and their guests were profuse in
thanking them for an evening Of
such splendid entertainment and
hospitality, and it is safe to say that
all went home contented and happy.
Thus terminated st Marks reception.

A Chicago man has observed that,
"GoOd deeds are better than real estate
deeds some of the latter are worthless.
Act kindly and gently, show sympathy
and lend helping hand. You cannot

ate a kind word and encouragement

persons In this community who might
truthfully say: "My good friend, cheer

Trip to an Orange Grove.

Last Saturday, q number of friends
were treated by Capt. j. w. Harllee
to q pleasant picnic on the govern
ment steamer LIE Reve.
The day was somewhat cloudy and
cold, but at eight a. m. the boat left
her mOorings and moved gracefully
up the river, tossing the water from
her prov as tho she too, was enjoy
ing the trip. A short stop was made
at Rolleston on the trip up, to allow
several persons to alight, but the
picnic crowd was carried on to Butfa-
10 Bluff.
AS soon as the shore was reach the
party turned their attention to the
oranges. Judge Vertrees kindly told
us to help ourselves and the result
was truely appalling. 1t was esti-
mated by a good judge of such mat
ters that at least two boxes of
oranges disappeared. The Vertrees'
grove reminds one of the good old
DAYS "before the Freeze" and many
were heard to observe that, for the
first time since '95, they had eaten as
many oranges as they wished.
The lunch, always Indispensable
on such trips, was spread on the
wharf and went the usual way of
picnic lunches. After lunch the
crowd returned to the boat and the
homeward journey began. A stop
was made at Rolleston, on the way
back, and all walked over to view
the truck farm. This farm in its way,
was as interesting as the orange
grove, but lacked the eating element.
A slight accident delayed the boat
there for few minutes but all en-
ioyed the stop.
The trip was was enlivened by
music and singing, and we all had
our beauty struck several times, we
have not vet seen any visible result
from the latter but hope they are a
success.
The landing was reached about
sundown, and the merry party dis
persei, after thanking captain Harl-
lee most heartily for his treat. He
certainly understands how to make
every one enjoy themselves.
The party was chaproned by Mes
danes J. L. Burton, A. &. Philips
and j. N. Walton, while Judge J. G.
Vertrees and Captain H. Y. Snow
lent dignity to the occasion, and
helped to govern the younger ele-
ment.-Society Reporter.

The Three Candidates.

In referring to the announcements
of Broward and Mays as candidates
for Governor the Tampa Times says:
1.-The matter is practically settled
Bob Davis will be the next Governor
of Florida. And he will be nomi-
mated in the first primary, too"
This will not in the least discour-
age the competitors Of Davis, and, no
doubt, Broward and Mays will con-
sole themselves with the thought
that the Times is not a prophet. 1t
may, however, turn out as the Times
predicts, but it is not the part of pru-
dence or wisdom to underestimate
the strength of an opponent. 1t is
often the same in politics as it is in
battle, and the victory is not always
to the strongest and swiftest.
There is no discounting the fact
that Messrs. BrOward and Mays are
men of political strength, and if
their hosts of friends get down to
hard, active work it may require q
second primary to determine who
shall be the Democratic nominee.
No one is foolish enough to believe
that "Bob" Davis is in any essential
Il weak man. He is strong intellec-
tually, politically and personally.
This has already been demonstrated
by his almost unanimous nomination
and election for three times to Con-
gress. Davis is man of the people,
and he is not by any means a fac
tional politician. He never refuses
to do any one favor, if possible to do
so, be the applicant ever so humble
His good political and personal rec
ord is the source of much of his
strength.
1t is, however, gratifying to know
that all of the candidates for Cover
nor are good men, and Florida's in
terests will never suffer at their
hands. The Metropolis stands ready
he may be-Jacksonville Metropolis.
