ORANGE LAKE.

The school opened here a week ago
last Monday with a good number OF

is the efficient teacher. Miss Lyle
has spent several winters at Orange

this .so-called dead place. G. G.
Waits has just had his house covered,
and the town being considerably
''wet" at present, we believe he will
vote the dry ticket.
The Baptist church has also been
somewhat improved, having been
painted and refurnished inside which
changes its appearance to such an
extent that to step in one would
scarcely know the old place.
Bro. Holtzhousen will preach here

Lake Kerr and Norwalk have few
young people during summer time,
but there are some girls here whose
accomplishments, aside from those
common to young ladies everywhere
at this day and age, are rare. They
swim, fish and hunt, using q gun as
well as their brothers do. They ride
horse back, and can do anything
needed in an emergency.
Not long ago two Norwalk girls
spent the day at Lake Kerr, driving
home near sunset. Passing a pond
on the way, huge alligator caught
their eye as he lay in the rushes. Up
went the ready gun and the alligator
disappeared with a big load of shot
behind his ear. It being late the girls
drove on, but the 'gaiter was found
dead the next morning. These girls
have a line running from post to post
in the lake, to hook the softshelled
turtles, from which they have caught
some fine specimens this summer.

There are many lovely homes in
and around Ocala, and many inter
esting people.
Sunday accepted an invitation
from w. D. Thomas and made a visit
to the home of his friends, Mr.. and
Mrs. S. R. -Glenhurst-about
four miles south of town.
Many readers of the Banner know
this interesting home better than the
writer does, but very few, if any,
know it by its recent poetical name.
In fact "Mr. Stanley" is delighted to
have the honor of introducing the
grand old place under its name for
the first time. "Glenhurst' was sug-
gested by the estimable lady of the
country home, Mrs. Pyles, and is a
happy combination of the natural
beauty of the farm and her own
maiden name.
Glenhurst is one of the best regulated
farms in this part of the state. Mr..
Pyles is a successful master of the
plantation and knows its every feat
nre in perfect detail from start to
finish. We can not justly list him as
. typical Floridian; however, he is a
native of this county. He is decidly
above the common type.
1t being Sunday, did not see him
only as a clever host in his home. Ev-
identity, this is one of his happiest
delights entertaining friends in his
magnificent old southern home in a
manner that can not be surpassed il
point of luxury, comfort and inter-
esting conversation.
And the gentleman's fine qualities
in this respect are cleverly linked
with blends of the same character in
hissdevoted wife. Mrs. Pyles::is fine
specimen l.; Womanhood in many re-
spects. She is an artist O. fine taste
and ability in the culinary depart
ment. A dinner that would have
done credit to a Kings palace was
spread. And to say that did justice
to the occasion is only bringing to
the surface the natural talents of
common newspaper man.
Mrs. Pyle's greatest pleasure is in
her fine herd of jerseys. She has
some fifteen or twenty very fine milk
ers; and everything about the feed
ing barn, the milk room ETC., is so
thoroughly systematizedt that it devel-
ops into real dairy farm. Besides the
large quantity of milk, cream and
butter consumed at home, she sells
enough to more than pay expenses.
Some nice music was heartily en-
joyed beautifully rendered by Mr.
and Mrs. Pyles' daughters under the
direction of their private teacher,
Mrs. Gunderson. This accomplished
lady also played a number of beauti-
full selections.
