REV. C. c. cARRoLL's REsIGNA
TON

The announcement of the resigna-
ton of Rev. Charles Chauncey Car
roll as pastor of the First Baptist
church in this city, on Sunday did not
come as a surprise, as II had been ru-
mored for several days that his resig-
nation would be handed in at the Sun
day morning service, although many
hoped that the rumors were not true,
and that Mr. Carroll would reconsider
mis- determination to leave us.
Mr.. Carroll's resignation takes eff
feet the middle of June He has been
called to OwensborO, KY, and he will
accept this call.
The Baptist church is grieved over
the going away of their beloved pas
tor. This scholarly, Christian gentle
man has gone in and out among us
most acceptably, being always found
on the side of right. Full of sympa-
thy for mankind and zeal in the cause
of the church, he has served well the
cause of the Master in this portion of
His vineyard. He has been an espe-
cial factor in the temperance cause,
and devoted a great deal of his time
and strength in the recent great tenn
perance fight in this county.
1t is with sincere regret that We
part with Mr. Carroll, and with sin
cere wishes for his success in the new
field Of labor he will enter, and we ex-
pect for this eloquent and distinguish
ed preacher increased usefulness in
the enlarged field upon which he will
enter
At the Sunday night service Mr..
Carroll announced that some time be-
fore his departure he will hold a week
Of special meetings. These services
will be looked forward to most eager
ly, and Mr.. Carroll will no doubt have
very large congregations on these oc-
casions.
Mrs. Carroll and the two little girls
leave this week for Louisiana to visit
relatives for some time and they will
not return to Ocala, much to the re-
greet OF their friends and acquaint-
ances.

BEAUTIFUL WHIST PARTY WE'D.
NESDAY

One of the loveliest parties ever
given in Ocala was on Wednesday af-
ternoon, when Mrs. Robert L. Ander-
son entertained the members of the
Married Ladies' Card Club and large
number of her other friends at the
same time, entertaining altogether
eleven tables.
Mrs. anderson gave her party on
the lawn, and there is no lovelier
lawn in the city. Great oak trees sur
round the entire place and give the
necessary shade and GOODNESS to the
grounds and other lovely shrubbery
about the place, and the green, vel
vety lawn underfOUt make it most
enhancing spot for an out of door
party. The weather behaved very
beautifully, and nothing occurred to
mar the pleasures of the afternoon.
The sun just dipped behind the green
topped oaks. with here and there a
streak of sunshine glimmering
through the foliage, and as every lady
present had dOnned her prettiest sum-
mer frock the picture they made at
the card tables was truly beautiful
one and worth witnessing.
Mrs. Anderson, gowned in a sum-
mer frOck of lavender and white,
greeted her guests very informally,
after which they We're served to punch
by MrsM. J. ROess, Mrs. NJ. c. Loo
ney and Miss Frances Anderson. The
punch table was under a lovely tree
and the bowl was set in a bowl of
dainty valley lilies, and two large va
ses of magnificent bride and brides
maid roses further added to the at
of this particular spot
Rugs and pillows scattered over the
lawn made it look all the more invit- |
ing, and with such an inspiration the
games could have been nothing but |
delightful.
The games were played until half |
past five, and while enjoying the !
whist the ladies also equally enjoyed |
the sailed almonds which were serv- !
ed throughout the afternoon At five
thirty the tables were prepared for |
the refreshments, which Mrs Ander |
son served. She was assisted by Mrs. |
Roess. Mrs. Clifton Camp and Mrs
Seligman. and the refreshments were !
exactly suited 10 the summer after
noon.
The club prize was won by Mrs. !
1t was a lovely little sill

tray. was won by Mrs Harris, and so
lovely were both prizes that they
made everybody wish That they had |
played better.

THE BULLETINS DAILY STORY
IN THE CLOSET

barrow loads were -trundled across the roof above Darley's room and each one shook from it's sides it's contribu- ton of wet cement. The unpleasant part about this was that the old house was shaken and jared by the constant tramp. the pounding in the building next door, so there came a. over Darley's closet, so 1t happened that the long crack was just where it could swallow up those droppings of wet cement and concrete. You know all about what little drops of water and little grains of sand will do if com bined with a sufficient number of their own kind.
 'Darley had been out of town for over three weeks and when he came home he was in a hurry to get ready to leave for New York to meet his employer. He wanted his heavier over coat and another suit of clothes and other wearing apparel that was in his room. Most of all, he wanted some plans and estimates over which he had spent long hours before he went away Everything was in his closet safely locked up. When Darley ran into his room he mechanically fitted his key to the closet door, swung 1t open, but ted in-and got a frightful crack on his head
 His first idea was that concealed burglar had swatted him one. but as he dazedly rubbed his forehead he saw with increasing bewiderment that there wasn't any closet or any clothes or neat row of shoes on shelf before him. There wasn't any shelf. There was merely a solid block of granite stuff reaching from floor to ceiling ID. smoothed down, but rough and dabby as though a child had been piling up mud pies. He knew instinct lively when he touched that nothing short of charge of dynamite would make much impression on it. Imbed- ded in that mass was nearly all his wardrobe and his precious plans and estimates.
 Well, Darley made an awful fuss, of course, and his rage was not as- suaged by the oddness of the situa- tion. The builders next door said it was the most extraordinary thing that had ever happened, but, as Darley pointed out, the oddity of it didn't pro- vide him with a heavy overcoat and also his employer objected to paying hotel bills in New York while he wait ed for the plans and estimates. Then the builder got mad and threatened to charge Darley for the cement stored in his closet and Darley was restrain ed by main force from massacring the builder on the spot.
 Finally they took pickaxes and Iit- erally mined Darley's belongings out of the closet. but"
 See here!" broke in Perkins. DO you mean to say that really happen ed ?"
 Merker looked annoyed. You drop enough cement through a hole in a roof into clothes closet and see!" he said, darkly.-Chicago News.

The Usefulness of Spiders.

Despite the fach that the spider, next to the mouse is most violently stim- ulating to feminine sensitiveness, it is an insect of a very good character. It feeds exclusively upon other freshly killed insects, and they are the kinds denounced by sanitary authorities, the house fly being it's favorite quarry. His service in reducing the numbers of this pest is considerable, because the spi- der is always busy and he is present in countless numbers. The reason why he is not more frequently seen is that he is retiring in his habits and shuns human society qiute as much as that shuns him. He seldom bites anything but his food, and even when in self defense he does assert himself the re- suit is no worse than mosquito bite, or a bee sting. The touching story of "The Spider and the Fly" was evident Iy intended to invite sympathy for the fly. but that was before Musca domes- tica had had his picture posted in the rogues' gallery of insect life.-Leslie's Weekly.

ASTONISHING FIGURES.

The advocate of any cause who does not know that misrepresentation does not pay is not sufficiently well in- formed to take the platform. A Penn sylvania woman with her budget of statistics started out to stir up all creation, and she did. As soon as she got her statistics before the reading public an editor took them up. and this Is what he said about them: Mrs. Blank declared that 5So,000 boys in the United States became addicted to alcoholism during 1908. Now, the an- nual births of male children in this country are approximately 100000. of whom over 100000 die before they reach the age of IA. Hence her state ment is that nearly two-thirds of the bsys in the United States become vic- Gins of strong drink. She also de- clarsd that in the same year 100000 babies were smothered by drunken mothers. But the census shows that the total deaths of this kind in one year were 1928, and these accidents could not all be attributed to intoxica- tion. She stated that in one year 100000 deaths were caused by drunk
 
 last census year the total deaths from all causes were under 100000, and from all accidents 57,513, and of these the largest number of deaths were caused by railway accidents. Another declaration was that intoxicating li- quor made 85,000 insane in one year, but the total insane population of the United States December 21, 1906, was only 150.151. Nor can her allegation be correct that 100000 men and wo- men went to prison in one year as the result of strong drink, since the total prison population of the United States was less than that figure"
 In view of her congregations it cannot be said that she achieved much for the cause, for not realizing the value of accuracy she queered the cause she represented.

HOW SHE BECAME A SONG.

The public has been prepared to expect about anything to emanate from Pittsburg, and that city doesn't have the power to create a thrill of surprise anywhere. As the story goes, Miss Grace W. Miller, good-l looking Sunday school teacher of Pittsburg, consulted fortune teller as to her fate. She learned that she was to become the bride of Chinaman. The lines of palm, the conjunction of the stars, the fall of cards in their order the instructions have been carried out and Miss Miller is now Mrs. Charlie Song.
 The queer thing about this is that Miss Miller proved to be such will ing victim to an astrologer. It may be said, however, that such marriages have not always proven to be a fail- ure, but that some have really proved to be one sweet song. Miscegenation does not appear to combine all the clements of harmony. and it Is only in exceptional cases that 1t has. Charlie Song may be all his name inn plies and so live that a discordant note will not be heard from this un- ion. Let us hope that Miss Miller will not have cause to repent of her read mess to follow the lifeline which the mystic saw.
