LENT is OVER

Today is Easter Sunday, which
closes the Lenten season. The day
will be beautifully observed in all of
the churches, and we trust that the
weather is going to be all that is de-
sired.
While Ocala has been more gay, in
social sense, during the Lenten sea-
son just passed than is usual, still
for the next few weeks until the real
warm weather begins there will be in
all probability quite a number of pref
ty affairs, and those who have not
gone out at all during Lent will great
ly appreciate them, as well as those
who have been looking forward to
them with much pleasure.
The Young Ladies' Card Club.
which has not met since before Lent
began, will resume their meetings
next Saturday, and the Married La
dies Card Club, which has not met
for several weeks, will also resume
their meetings.
1t is not often that Ocala has two
large parties on one day, but on
Thursday of this week there will be
two large afternoon affairs. From
three to six o'clock Miss Anna Mix
son gives a large reception in honor
of Miss Edith Mcclure, and the same
afternoon Mrs. T. T. Munroe will en-
ltertain her friends at cards and domi-
noes at the Woman's Club.
On Tuesday afternoon there will be
a housekeepers' sale at the Woman's
Club, and on Wednesday Master La
| Grange and Miss Virginia Sistrunk
will entertain their little friends.
Monday afternoon on the golf links
will be held the annual Easter egg
hunt for the children of Grace Epis-
copal Sunday school
Friday afternoon at the club room
the members of the Woman's Club
will have their first open afternoon"
at which time they will be allowed to
have any of their friends at the club
with them.

POSTMASTERS TO MEET II
OCALA

Owing to certain matters which
have transpired since the call for the
annual league meeting was sent out,
it has become necessary to change the
time and place, which will be held in
Ocala, Fla, instead of Jacksonville,
and on the 18th and 18th of August,
instead of the 10th and 18th of April.
Miss Marion w. Sergeant of Avon
Park, secretary of the Florida state
league of postmasters, expresses the
hope that this change of time and
place will not prevent any of the post
masters from attending the meetings
at Ocala on the above dates, and that
by August the league will be able to
have better meeting than would be
possible at this season of the year.
The notice sent out by Miss Sar-
geant has nothing to do with the
meeting of the association of post
masters which is to be held at Jack
sonville on the 18th, 14th and 18th
of April. and which the league pres
ident urges all Florida postmasters to
attend.

The empty cross stands the hill,
Fast falls the evening gloom;
While darker shadows, drear and still,
Enfolds the new-made tomb.
There lifeless, rigid, lies the Lord,
Whose keen and qhickning breath,
Strong in the accents of his word,
Awoke the dead from death.
The fleeing hours in silent sweep,
Spreads to deeper night,
But not from Deaths enthralling sleep,
Arouse the Prince of Light
Now darkness yields its reign today,
And still the guarded grave,
In triumph claims lawful prey
The Christ who to
Ger the dead King low in the dust,
No brght'ning glory CLEANS;
While hope in hearts by crushed,
Sinks with the waning beams.
The third day draws; hush it's the beat
Of quiverng angeEwings,
fastening the risen Lord greet,
While Nature, gladdened, sings.
Victor of Death and Source of Life
Triumphant over Hell,

Henceforth in Heaven to dwell

in every city as it has been in Phila-

court that scores of boys and girls
in this city are addicted to the CO.
caine habit: that purveyors of the
drug have even approached the pupils
OF the public schools. and that the
opiate can be obtained in almost any
part of the Tenderloin.
Police officials have had good cause
to learn that one result of the use
of the drug is TO breed in the "fend
the desire TO make converts TO It's
use. And in most cases the choice
fails upon children of tender years.
