q Beautiful Reception.

One of the prettiest afternoon re-
ceptions Crystal River has known for
some time was given by Mrs. Frank
E. Wetherbee at the residence of
Mrs. DR.. w. E. Armstrong on last
Monday afternoon, to the Crystal
River Reading Club.
Mrs. Armstrong; lovely home is
well adapted for such occasions, and
the DINING room was especially
pretty at this reception. The color
scheme of the room was red. The
center piece being a bowl of lovely
red roses. The place cards which
were stamped in silver leaves were a
novelty and very pleasing to the eye
One side of the card contained the
ladies' name and a guessing game
The other side contained "gems of
thought The color scheme was
carried out in the refreshments. De-
hcious strawberries jeIetine, cake,
whipped cream and coffee We're
served to the guests by Mrs Wheth-
erbee, assisted by Mrs Armstrong.
Mrs. Wetherbee as toast master for
the afternoon, gave a toast to the
health of the club, which was drank
in strawberry punch, after which
Mrs. McLain responded to the toast in
very pleasing manner. In the name
of the club she spoke feelingly of the
separation from Mrs. Wetherbee, who
has been its president from its organ
ization over year ago, and will soon
make her home in another city. She
spoke of the inspiration Mrs. Wether-
bee has been to the town along liter
airy lines since her residence here,
and of their reluctande to part with
her. Mrs. Wetherbee was deeply
touched at this evidence of love and
friendship. The ladies then adjourn
ed to the parlor where the rest of the
afternoon passed pleasantly and all
too quickly in social intercourse and
music furnished by Mrs. Knight and
Mrs. Smith, River News.

Dol LAE 4 YEAR
Death of MRS. Mcdonnell.

After an illness of several weeks in
this city, Mrs. Mary Brumby McCon-
nell, mother of Mrs. VIM. K. Melon
aid, died at the home of the latter
Tuesday afternoon at three O'Clock.
Mrs. Mcconnell, the daughter of
Professor R. T. Brumby, of Column
bia, S. c., was particularly well
known by many of the old residents
of this city, having visited relatives
here about 1858, when but a young
lady, and being endowed with many
admirable characteristics she made
a large number of friends, many of
whom survive her and share the grief
of the bereaved family.
Shortly after her visit here she was
married to Captain S. d. Mcconnell,
a noted lawyer of Ocala, which city
she made her home until last year
when she moved to Quincy to live
with her daughter and mingle with
the warm friends of former years.
For number of years the deceased
had been in i'll health, and while it
was known that the end would likely
come at any time, hope was MAIN
tanned to the last, and during that
time the tender nursing of devoted
friends and relatives and the best of
medical skill was freely given, but
without avail.
The remains, accompanied by the
family, were shipped to Ocala We'd
nesday. and laid to rest in the family
burying ground by the side of her
husband, whose death occurred sew
era1 years ago.
Mr.. and Mrs Mcdonald have made
a number of friends since becoming
residents of this city, all of whom
deeply svmpathize with them in their
bereavement Times.

70. Unity.
The following letter, addressed to
all the turpentine men in the Ocala
section, has been issued by COM
mittee of the progressive Ocala sub
of the Turpentine Operators Associa-
ton:
Ocala. Florida, April "a, 1905.
Dear Sir-With the present changes
taking place in the naval stores bust
ness, amounting almost to a complete
new order of things, and considering
the important position our industry
has assumed in the commerce of the
world, we must naturally feel a GER
tain amount of pride in what has
been accomplished, and should let it
inspire us to a more determined eff
fort on the part of each and every
operator to spare no pains, and let
no stone remain unturned, to promote
the success and welfare of this indus
try, in which all our hopes are CENTER
ed.
rNo hacri,,,,i, -
under very fiattering conditions
Prices are good, compared with those
of the past, and labor less trouble
some
The organization of the gigantic
Naval Stores Export Company places
our industry in most enviable posi-
ton, and it is the duty of us all to
sustain this company, as it is only by
its aid that we can hope to repel the
Onslaughts of the enemy, which if
not opposed will force prices down to
an Improbable basis.
The formation of this company
serves as striking example of what
can be done through concentration
of forces, and unity of purpose, and
it is by this plan alone that we can
hope to attain satisfactory results.
The most apparent danger with
which we are confronted is a slight
tendency among some of the opera
tors toward disorganl7ation, which,
above all things, we cannot at the
present time afford, without our in
terests suffering
Therefore, let us stand together
more closely than before, so that at
all times we may DE enabled TO ham
die such problems as may confront
US, intelligentIy, and TO our mutual
benefit.
The Ocala Sub has, from the or
ganiZation of the TurpenJine Oper-
ators' Association, been one of the
strongest and most Jealous in the
battle for the betterment of our con-
dition, and we must earnestly appeal
TO our members 20 uphold this repu-
tation by attending regularly the
meetings of the association, which
are held on the second Thursday in
each month at ten O'Clock, and bg
using their best efforts TO induce
such desirable operators as are not
already members TO join, and thus
benefit by the discussion of matters
which are of vital interest TO Us all.
Trusting 10 see you at all our meet
ings in the future, we are,
Yours very truly,

HOTEL CONTINENTAL
Formal Opening o: this PaIstiai Re-
sort at Atlantic Beach June lSt


sort at Atlantic Beach June Ist
June 1 has been set as the date for
the formal opening of the Hotel Con-
tinental, at Atlantic Beach, for the
season OF 1905.
Mr.. H. E. Bemis, who manages the
Hotel Colonial, at Nassau, n. P,
during the winter season, and the
Bedford Springs hotel, at Bedford
Springs, Pa, will be manager of the
Hotel Continental this season.
Since the erection of the Hotel
Continental, Atlantic Beach has be-
come one of the most popular sum-
mer resorts along the Atlantic coast.
People from Atlanta, Chattanooga,
Montgomery and numerous other
cities in Georgia, Alabama and Ten
nessee, as well as from other states,
have become regular patrons of the
Continental, and find the summer
months at this popular resort far
more pleasant than at numerous
noted resorts of the north.
The climate is delightful at Atlantic
Beach during the summer months.
There is always aspiendid Seabreeze,
and the surf bathing is as fine as can
be found anywhere.
The Continental has an established
reputation as a hotel second to none,
and under the management of Mr..
Bemis, will be more popular than
ever during the coming season, which
is to begin Thursday, June 1.
A large number of inquiries have
already been received by the East
Coast Hotel System as to the date
the Hotel Continental Will open, and
it is anticipated that the summer sea-
son of 1905, at the Continental, will
be the greatest ever known for a
summer seashore hotel.
Jacksonville people have shown
their appreciation of this mafnifcent
resort by their liberal patronage in
past seasons, and already a number
of people have decided upon moving
to the Continental this season. Its
convenience to the city makes it par
ticularIy desirable for business men
who can spend the nights at the sea-
shore, and return to their offices
every morning, in ample time 20 at
tend to business of the day.
Mr. Bemis, the new manager of the
hotel, has an envIable reputation as
manager of resort hotels. He will be
located at No. 226 West Bay street,
i'll this city. until the hotel is opened
on June l, and Will be ready TO fur
