Owing TO the ls;eness of the hour at
which the minstrel was over on Fri
day night we were compelled to cut
our notice short.
The sweet ballad. you're as Wei
come rs the Flowers in May" as sung
by GOldie Barnes, was one of the
pleasant surprises of the program. He
has a remarkably sweet voice. He
had never sung in public in Ocala
and everybody was charmed with his
singing.
The Song that the Anvil Sings"
was sung by Arthur Masters. This
was also his first appearance in OcAla.
His voice is baritone and is very
sweet aud musical and bis singing
was one of the best Of the evening.
The coon songs of Gerig brothers
were heartily enjoyed as WA also
Clifford AndersOn's song, You Can
Just Kiss Yourself Goodbye" The
parody hitting Roosevelt brought
forth great applause aud his hits at
Stockton and TaliaferrO were
thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated.
The joke gotten off on the editors Of
the Banner and the Star, the one on
H. G. Groves, DR.. Daniel, +. T.
HelvenstOn, Ardis Waterman and
several others were especially enjoyed
and nearly brought down the house.

Miss Eord's Party tuesday.


With Miss Emily Ford as hostess
pleasant time is always a certainty
and her party on Tuesday afternoon
for her guest, Miss hewitt and Miss
Killers guest, Miss ROsen baum, was
no exception.
The amusement for the afternoon
was heart piercing contest. A figure
was dressed up as man stunningly
and becemiugly, and pinned on his
coat Was a large red heart. The young
ladies one at time were blindfOlded
and each given n small heart, the
object being TO pin it exactly in the
center Of "Reginald's" heart. This
contest was most amusing, some OF
the young ladies piuning their hearts
almost on the opposite side of the
room. Quite a number, however,
were fortunate enough to pin their
hearts on Reginald's but it was proven
that Miss Mona Hitler had succeeded
in being the Cupid of the occasion
and succeeded i'm piercing his heart
directly in the center and the gentle
man in question was presented to her
and she gracefully carried him off
the scene.
After this contest the guests were
invited into the dining room where
refreshments were served. The din
ing table was very pretty with II
lunch cloth embroidered in red roses
and in the center was large bowl of
japanese magnOlias.
The party was delightfully."- informal
and was thoroughly enjoyed by the
thirty young people present.
Just as the guests were getting
ready to leave 2 most unfortunate
and much regretted accident Occurr-
ed. A dog belonging to the Misses
Izlsr and one belonging to Miss
Stotesbury engaged in fight in the
reception room. Both dogs were very
angry and in trying to separate them
Miss Eulalee Izlar got her hand Bit
ten. Or. Izlar was sent for, took his
sister home, dressed her fiuger and
thinks the bite will not be serious.
Miss FOrd's guests were Miss hewitt
of Toronto; Miss Watson, of Jack
sonville; Miss RDsen0aum, of Pitts
burg; Miss Goldnamer, of Elizabeth
town, KY; Miss Hill, of Concord, y.
