Big Picnic at Fiemsng.on.

It's long way to Pennington from
anywhere when YOU staIt, so they
say. At any rate the Banner man
found it a longer drive than antici-
pated and when he arrived there
Thursday, Aug. 31st, about three
hundred people were gathered under
| the large spreading oaks in front OF
the Baptist church, and the picnic
was well under way.
! There was speaking by Rev. Moore
and Prof earn, of Ocala, in the fore
noon and Editor Bittinger in the af-
ternoon.
Pennington is one of the Oldest
settled communities in the county
and the home of some of her very
best citizens. 1t is widely known for
it's successful way of entertaining
people at picnics. The dinner did
full justice to the people and fully
sustained their picnic record
The day was perfect one for the
occasion. The crowd was much too
large to assemble in the church, SO
the seats and organ were moved from
the house to the shade trees. The
beautiful songs so perfectly rendered
by the choir, deserve especial CON-
ment. They were strikingly appro-
pirate and added much to the occa-
sion.
One of the most popular gentlemen
present was Mr.. B. r. Stripping, rep
resenting the Equitable Insurance
Company. We Judge from the man
ner in which he was served by the
good ladies at the dinner table. And
he was generous, too, with the Ban
ner man, at least. We are also indebted
to Mr.. B. NJ. Scruggs, merchant and
postmaster at Pennington, for some
kindly favors. Mr.. Scruggs is a
young man and a splendid type of
good citizenship.
DR.. L. D. Davis, of Irvine, was
Chairman of the meeting and intro
duced the speakers in a clever man.
ner.
1t was delightful recollection of
the grand old past to see such a
gathering of Eicnickers at Fleming
ton. To hear the good jokes of Bill
Mathews and ex-Supt. Payne. To
listen to the schrewd horse traders
and to see the many couples of
sturdy young men and beautiful
young women promenading the long,
shady walks; stopping here to rest in
an easy buggy, and lingering careless
ly by the cold drink stand.
1t was declared that one young man
kept the company of certain young
lady all day. from in the a. m. to
in the p. m, and never spoke to h. r.
He must have had a winning way.
His eyes expressed ceaseless volumns
of unspoken love.
One feature which spoke well for
this community was the splendid
horses and buggies on exhibition.
There was possibly between 1876 and
$50 horses and buggies on the grounds,
and we were deeply impressed with
the exceptionally fine, high grade
vehicles and large blooded horses.
Out of this number we only saw
about three horses but showed signs
of being well fed and well kept.
This is mark of prosperity. rate it
when or where you may.

Doings in Florida Phospates

DoinRs in Florida Phospates
The year of 1904 was termed the
''banner year" in the phosphate ship
ments from Florida. By some it was
said that the figures of that year would
never be reached again, and yet the
statistics for the first six months of
this year shows an increase of nearly
81, 900 tons over the same period last
year, in the handbook shipments alone,
besides the land pebble increase, which
amounted to 1000 tons. Notwith-
standing this, the price has been fair;
there is no disposition of the miners
to crowd the market anymore. In
fact, as one of our contempories puts
it: "What little rock is sold f. O. b.
in the handbook section of Florida it
being eagerly sought after, and those
who happened to have any rock min
ed in the near future, and which is
unsold, can sell it at fairly good prices,
but the amount of f. o. b. rock has
dwindled down to almost nothing"

Mr.. Pat Randall, of Conner, was in
Ocala Wednesday and said the ex-
cessive rains had done very little if
any injury to the growing crops and
have been especially beneficial to the
oranges. That the fruit now on the
trees is as large if not larger than
they were when fully ripe and mar
ketaDle last season. That the corn
crop on his side of the river is the
best he has seen in the past ten
years. That potatoes and other root
crops as well as the cane crops are
fine, and that the farmers in his Sec
ton have an abundance of hogs. Mr..
Randall takes an entirely optimistic
view of things.
