Since the present good weather
commenced considerable work has
been started throughout the county
according to j. c. Spoonemore, the
employment agent. During the past
week especially, has this been true.
Aside from the men who have been
given places on farms, many have
been taken by parties constructing ir-
rigation bitches west of here and also
in the north end of the county. Ac-
cording to the above authority more
men have been needed for this ditch
work than for spring farm labor, be-
cause of the fact that many farmers
kept sufficient men through the win
ter to do their spring plowing.
According to Mr.. Spoonemore the
supply of men is still far in excess of
the demand for them, in spite of the
work that has been started. He states
that during the past week four times
as many men could have been Sc
cured as there was employment for,
consequently it would seem that there
is no need at present of outside men
coming here yet. However, new work
is being started every day, and if the
good weather continues it will not be
many weeks before there will be no
excuse for an idle laborer in this
county. The lambing season will
start within next six weeks and many
may find employment in the sheep
camps.

One of the greatest as well as the
happiest surprises that the young So
ciety people have sprung upon the
public was the quiet wedding yester-
day afternoon of DR.. William Herbert
Powers and Miss Violet Harris, which
was, for some time to come, all I'M
expected, and came as an overwhelm-
ing surprise to their hosts of friends
Indeed, the young people themselves
did not know in the morning that they
would be husband and wife before the
sun should set. DR. Powers called at
the home of his fiance in the after
noon and Miss Harris dressed herself
in a pretty white street costume and
the young couple went down town
for a walk They strolled about town
for some time and mingled with their
friends DR.. Powers had secured a
marriage license from Judge Bell and

The Chicken Pillsu.

The chicken piliau given by the Ep-
worth League Friday night was big
affair. Immense fires were Iightt d
late in the afternoon in the woods
across the S. A. l.. railway near the
old Meffert place, and were kept
burning for several hours With the
big pots of fat, juicy chicken and
good rice. the sight was most TEN .,U-
ing and appetizing one, and every
body did ample justice to the piiIau
which was pronounced the b-st ever
concOcted.
A large number OF the members of
the League and u.any of their friends
were present to enjoy the festivities.
1t was beautiful moonlight night,
just cold enough to be pleasant, and
the scene around the big fires under
the great oak trees was a most pic
turesque and inspiring one.
Everybody present, without an eX-
ceptiOn, had great big time and
think the Leaguers certainly know
how to get up and carry through
successfully all sorts of pleasant
things. The last affair given by them
is always thought to be the pleasant
est and each successive one is is al
ways eagerly anticipated.

into DIR. Izlar's office and asked him
the Methodist pastor. which DR.. Izlar
soon did and asked him to come over
to his office at once and marry a cou-
pie. Rev. Moore accompanied him, ex-
pecting to find a stammering country
swain and a giggling lass, but was al
most shocked out of his wedding dig
nifty to find these happy, but most
calm and unexcited young people, who
asked him to marry them, which was
quickly done, with no witness except
DIR. Powers fellow practitioner and
next door neighbor, DR.. A. L. Izlar.
DR.. and Mrs. Powers then walked to
the brides home and told Mrs. Harris
that they were married, and the fond
mothers surprise knew no bounds,
and all was soon forgiven and every
one happy.
The brides parents in no wise OPP
posed the match, but expected it to
take place at some future and no dis
tant date. They had hoped to give
their daughter a brilliant wedding, as
became her position in society. The
young folks decided otherwise, how
ever, and took the matter into their
own hands, and a great many of their
friends are greatly pleased over the
simple, easy and sensible selection
they made of their marrige ceremony,
though feeling a keen disappointment
with it for the expectations of the
grand society nuDtials that have fallen
to the earth.
DR.. and Mrs. Powers are at the Sa-
voy Hotel, where they have a pretty
suite of rooms. They will not take a
wedding trip just now
DR.. Powers has resided in Ocala for
about five years He came direct from
college to this place, began the prac-
tice of medicine at once, and from the
very start his practice grew apace,
and his love and respect in the hearts
of the people kept pace with it, until
today no physician in Florida is bet
ter liked or has better practice than
has this young physician He is a
| son of the late Steven Powers, a jour-
nalist. who was greatly liked and re-
spected in Florida.

nette, as fair in face and form as ma
ture can produce. She is intelligent
