The Gard Club Entertained :.

Friday afternoon Miss Esther
Weathers very charmingly enter
tanned the members of the young
ladies' card club. This has been one
of the most popular of the social or
CARNATIONS in Ocala during the past
season and the meeting with Miss
Weathers was the last one until next
fall, when the club will probably be
reorganized.
All the guests were present at
this meeting and before the games
several very attractively arranged
group pictures of the crowd were
taken by Mr.. HILBERT Weathers and
they will be kept as lovely souvenirs
of this very pleasant club.
Quite a number of games of pro-
gressive whist were enjoyed, result

Johnnie Liddon winningthe prizes,

In our issue of March 81 appeared
an editorial entitled unjust AppOr-
tionment," afterwards copied in the
Times-UniOn, which attracted the at
tention of Hon. w. K. Zewadski, of
Ocala, who was member of the
legislature of 1897, land who has fur
nished TO Us the only explanation of
the failure of that body to make the
constitutional apportionment referred
to which we have ever heard of. Mr.
Zewadski stated that he prepared
and introduced a bill providing for
the superintendent, based upon the
state census of 1895, but that COM
bination effected by the representa-
tive of the counties which would have
lost member in the reapportion-
ment with some of those whose rep
resentatiOn would not have been af-
fected thereby effectually accomplish
ed the defeat of the bill. Thus it ap-
pears the representatives of six or
seven counties, simply TO prevent a
reduction of the number of represen-
tatives therein, must have violated
their oaths, and induced other
members whose counties would not
have been affected, to violate their
oaths to support the constitution of
the state, which expressly ommand
ed them 90 make the reappertion-
ment.- Tallahassee True Denpbcrat
