Birthday Luncheon.

The following daughters IF the
Dickson Chapter Of the Confederacy,
Mrs. G. M. Hubbard. Mrs. J. w. Wal
ters. Mrs Sanders, Mrs. John Bailey.
Mrs. J. T. Lancaster, Mrs. G. S
Scott. Mrs. Sistrunk, Mrs. z. l.. Car
ney, Mrs. F. E. Harris, Mrs. NJ. r.
Stovall, Mrs. Josie Williams, Mrs.
Robert Blake, Miss Irma Blake. Mrs.
McIver.. met at Mrs. John Bailey s
Wednesday afternoon at a o'clock,
and marched in body to the resi-
dence of Mrs. Fanny r. Gary, their
beloved president and surprised her
with a delightful luncheon of salads,
cakes. fruits, CONNECTIONS and other
dainties too numerous to mention, in
honor of her seventy-third birthday.
She was also the recipient of a
handsome mission rocker, many beau
ltiful flowers in crimson and white,
the chapter colors, and many heart
felt congratulations and wishes that
she might be spared to her loved ones
and friends many more years.
Mrs Gary was taken completely by
surprise and was almost overcome,
her heart was so full at the thought
of the high esteem and tender aztec
ton with which she was held by her
friends.
Mrs. Turnley and Mrsr. Peiver-
ston, her two daughters, were pres
ent and joined heartily in the felici-
tations.
1t is said there is hardly ever a
complete silence in our soul. God is
whispering to us well nigh always
only we do not always hear, be-
cause of the noise, hurry AMI distrac
tion which life causes as it rushes on.
But as Mrs Gary, a venerable beau
| tiful character sat in ner chair, her
face beaming and her snow white
hair glistening in the soft light ami
offered up prayer to God to make
her thankful the remainder OF her
life for this demonstration of the
tender devotion of such loving hearts,
the soul of every daughter was Wis.
IDLY touched. Seated around the table
with bowed heads, the tears Istreamed
down their faces as they caught a
glimpse of the keystone that supports
the arch way to heaven-human love
and divine love.
Would that this picture could be
transferred to canvass to be handed
down to future greatness.

BOYS OF wooDcRAFT.
Juvenile Woodmen to Have Drills on
chiIdren's Day at Jacksonville
Carnival.

The gathering at the Jacksonville
carnival November 9th, of the Boys
of Woodcraft in a grand lodge meet
ing and comeptitive drill will mark an
epoch in the development CT a re
markable Juvenile brotherhood.
The Boys of Woodcraft of Wood
men of the World, of which society
it is an auxiliary, was first organized
in Jacksonville about two years ago
by DR.. ]. M. Taylor, who is now grand
commander
The Jacksonville camp comprises
more than a hundred members, and
there the large camps in this city, ST.
Augustine, Miami, Greencove Springs,
and other places. All of these camps
will attend tn egrand lodge, whach
will be held on Cnnaren's Day at the
carnival, when they will be treated to
special quality of amusement DR..
Taylor will answer all inquiries from
boys in any part of the territory re-
gardirg the organization.
Grand Commander Taylor has is
sued call requesting all camps to
set ready, and urging the boys in
other towns where camps have nor
heen formed, to organize at once and
attend the grand lodge, promising
them a world of fun and some valu-
able knowledge on how to become big,
fine men when they grow up.
Amusement our means, instruc-
tion our end" is the slogan of this
little fraternity society. which is fast
spreading and becoming worthy ad-
junct of the big Woodmen organiza-
ticn. There are 100000 WoodmeC
not so many of the little fellows yet.
Boys between Z and Is years of age
are eligible RI .~'- r-o society was
designed for mutual help, encourage
ment, improvement by discipline and
parliamentary practice, evolution and
voodmen drills physical culture in
strrction in department and useful
knowledge independent of political
or sectarian bias.

ility be at the carnival in body

AN INTERESTING LETTER FROM
OUR LOCAL EDITOR.
charlegton. S. G, sept, "a. 'Oe.

Charleston. S. c., Sept, "a, 'O6.
To the Ocala Banner:
The trip from Jacksonville to
Charleston was most delightful. A
gentle breeze was blowing all night
and there were no neavy seas, af-
fording an excellent night for slum-
Der.
We reached Charleston little be-
fore day and remained until ten
O'Clock. After breakfast we enjoyed
a stroll about the city. The Battery,
old ST. Michaels and the government
park being the principal places of in
terest we visited.
The park is the rendezvous for the
Charlestonians and visitors as well
and is. a most delightful trysting
place. It is kept in excellent condi-
ton and with the beautiful bay on
one side, fine old colonial residences
on the other and the greensward and
overhanging branches Of the majes-
tic trees make it a restful and most
attractive spot.
We were shown through st. Mi
chael's church, one of the oldest
churches in the United StaLes, hav-
ing been begun in 1872 and has pass
ed through the storm of shot and
shell of two great wars; fire, cyclones
and earthquake and altogether moved
out of its alignment several feet; it
still preserves its historic beauty. The
pews and indeed everything connected
with this old building were brought
across from the old country in the
Ipre-revolutionary period, including the
pulpit, pews, organ, bells, baptismal
font. chandeliers, etc.
We were shown the pew where
General Washington, Gen. Lafayette,
Gen. Lee and other historical charac-
The pews are made cf red ce5a'
and arc very massive and beautiful.
In st. Michaels cemetery are
many ancient graces, the Oldest be
| ing that of Mary Ann Luyten, aged
/ 27 years, who died Sept. 8, ITO. AT
the head and foot of the grave stands
what appears to be the head and foot
of a bedstead, made of cypress and
cedar, that have stood the ravages OF
12s years. A portion of the head
board and one of the posts was de-
molished by shell from Gilmore's
gun on Morris Island in 1865.
Charleston is quaint old city. Not
single vehicle met the vessel to
show the passengers about the city
The whistle has sounded and the
boat is off,
