this space was divid-
ed lengthwise by curtain. behind
which Brenda saw the CLEAN of a great
white tub. an unusual luxury in cheap
lodgings.
Beyond the vestibule was a room of
good height and size, with shallow
alcove on the left, in which stood
pretty brass bedstead. Upon the right
was an unused open fireplace beneath
an old fashioned marble mantelshelf
which was covered with a quaint and
picturesque collection of souvenirs.
There were two tall windows in the
southern wall. The lower sashes were
hinged at the sides, opening inward,
and one might step out upon a wooden
balcony of tie length of the room,
which was the width of the house.
Some crude familiar pictures hung
upon the walls. Obviously they ante

Whatever may be said Of the artistic
value of this decoration, it certainly
frightened the room. 1t was impos-
sible to be lonely with so much COM
pany and such vivaciOus people. Nine
in ten of the women were smiling and
many wore fancy dress. The men
struggled to seem chvalrous and
cOurtly, except the comedians, most
of whom were in grOtesque attire.

0cala's Public library.

For more than a decade a few of the
ladies of Ocala have maintained a
public library almost without a
particle of cost to the citi zens of the
city.
The library is very much appreciat-
ed and has been productive of much
good and its loss would be a blow to
the community.
Mrs. Alice E. Law, one of the or
ganizers of the library association,
has contributed the rooms in which
the library is located for nearly eleven
years, she feels that she has done her
full share and gives notice that after
the first OF April, 1904, a fair:rental
will be charged for the rooms.
We hope the matter will be taken
up and enough money will be raised
not only to pay for the rent of the
rooms but for the better equipment
of the same and for the purchase OF
new books.

After spending a short while in the

Miss Florrie Condor and Miss Jessie
Palmer served refreshments.
Altogether the "tea" was most
pleast one and the proceeds of it will
be added to the steadily increasing

Ben Rsysor on the Fruit Outlook.

In a letter to the New York Fruit
and Produce News, Mr.. Ben Raysor,
OF this city, gives sOIne interesting
facts about the orange crop. In SUBJ
stance he says he has visited num-
Der of sections, but has been unable to
obtain definite facts He believes
that the damage will be 10 per cent.
perhaps more. He considers nearly
~ per cent of the fruit on the grOunt.
1t will take TWO weeks to determine
the complete damage.
Much of the fruit on the trees has
been pierced 10y thOrns, and will not
begin shedding for ten days or two
weeks. He says the storm WAS most
severe ia DeSOtO and Manatee coun.
ties, which are the largest orange sec.
ton in the state. He believes that
the market will be ruined and 20 to
pieces before the fruit season is COM
menced, AS shippers are gathering the
oranges from the ground anu sending
them TO various markets. They are
green and unstable. He says the
Clyde steamer which left Jacksonville
last Saturday, took out l 900 boxes.
Closing he says: ~ believe there
will be few cars Of very fine ParsOn
Brown oranges to go between the 5th
and Sth Of October. This is one of the
earliest oranges grown, and now
shows quite some color. 1 expect to
ship the first car of really well cOlored
and merchantable stock to leave this
state. This car will load at Mica.
nOpy on Monday, the 2Sth inst, and
goes to New Orleans. My next car
will also go from Micanopy, and will
load October 1st, for Cincinnati.
After that can load few cars of the
early ParsOn Brown and Oval Sweets
from the Lake Weir section. This
fruit now shows good color and is
fully mstured.
II made the first shipment of grape
fruit which left Florida this season,
consisting of Mersh's seedless, which
is very early variety, full cOlOred.
These shipments went to New York
and Boston on the 18th. l am ship
ping TO New York this week from the
Tacoma and Micanopy sections, and
prices are very satisfactory"
