LIGHTFUL PARTY

One of the pleasantest children's
parties given in OcaIa recently was
the one on Friday afternoon, wher
Mrs. Coleman, wife of Rev. w. H
Coleman of the Christian church. en-
tertained the Junior Christian En-
deavorers and some of their young
friends. About thirty little folks
were present, and they spent Z very
merry and happy afternoon laying
together. This party was especially
delightful for the children, as their
school duties for the year were at an
end, and their only thought was for
happy vacation time, which was
having such a very pleasant begin
ming.
All kinds of games were played,
both indoors and in the yard, and
helping Mrs. Coleman in seeing that
every child was having the best of
times were Mr.. Coleman, Mrs. Weth-
erbee, Mrs. Whitfield and Miss Vivian
Dame.
During the afternoon Mrs. Coleman
served strawberries, ice cream, cake
and lemonade, which part of the par
~. needless to say, was greatly en-
joyed by the little folks.
The afternoon spent with Mr.. and
Mrs. Coleman was one of a great deal
of pleasure to those thirty happy lit
tie children.

MISS LUCILLE MOoRE'S LOVELY
PARTY FOR THE GRADUATES


The class of 1909 of the Ocala High
School have certainly been charming
! ~ feted on the eve, of their graduation
and it will always be a season to
which they can look back with great
! pleasure, not only because of the
splendid work they have accomplish
| ed, but on account of the lovely par
ties that have been rendered them.
Among those that they will look
back upon as one of the most pleas
ant was the party which Miss Lucille
Moore gave for them Friday night
Receiving with Miss Moore, who
wore a lovely white party frock, were
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. T. NJ.
Moore, and afetr being greeted by
them they were served punch by Mrs.
Ethan Allan Hickson of Lake City, an
aunt of the hostess. The punch table
was very pretty in its adornment of
yellow and black ribbon, ferns and
Marechal Mel roses.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Haygood of
Jacksonville and Mr.. and Mrs Allan
Wheelus Bridges also assisted the
pretty young hostess in the pleasant
duties of entertaining.
Miss Moore's guests included only
the class and Mr.. Clarence Meffert,
who has been a member of the class
until the present term, when he went
away to college. Mr.. and Ms. C.. L.
Bittinger, parents of Miss Adele Bit
finger, one of the graduates, were also
present. 1t was greatly regretted
that the high school teachers, owing
to the finishing up of their years
work, were not able to be present at
Miss Moore's party, which was so
much enjoyed by the young people
The parlOr was prettily decorated
With numerous bowls of Marechal
Niels and yellow and black o. H. s.
pennants, and yellow butterflies.
One of the pleasant amusements of
the evening was the writing of ALTER
ative kilograms, which proved to be a
great deal of fun. Pretty and appro-
pirate prizes were given for this con-
test.
DominOes were also played after
this amusing contest, and for a short
time afforded much pleasure.
The dining room was very prettily
decorated with Marechal Niels, sun
flowers and black-eyed Susans.
The graduates were seated at the
table, and an elegant supper served.
The place cards were yellow pen
nants, with ,-e letters in black and |
tied with black rir bon. In the center |
Of the table was a tall cut glass vase |
of Marechal Mel roses resting in a /
large cut glass bowl, which was also |
filed with these lovely roses. About |
the table were small dishes of lovely |
homemade candies. First was served |
chicken salad, olives. pickles, cheese
and on each plate was a
big tomato with mayonaise dressing. |
The next course was black and yellow
cream, the black being chocolate and
The yellow frozen custard, and yellow
and black cake.
This seated supper was greatly en-
iOyed and was a most fitting conclu-
sion to an evening of great enjoyment.
The unavoidable absence of Mr..
Robert Anderson was greatly regret
ed.
Tonight Mr. Marion PelOt enter
aims the graduates and Monday night
after the graduating exercises Mr..
Robert Anderson will give them a
supper

Y. & 7. IGNORES
THIS TOWN

l have heard the question asked
many times during the past year
or so why the Virginia Il Truckee
railroad company failed to place
Gardnervile on the packard that
is displayed daily from the rear
platform of the Minden branch
train prior to its departure from
Carson. Aurora, mining camp,
125 miles distant, and other little
burgs of less prominence, are en-
blazoned tl,ns and attract the
the eye of the III .eler, but u :
man hunting up the train that will
carry him to Gardnerville, without
propounding a question to an un-
sympathetic public finds himself a
little up against it.
The aforesaid company has al
ways displayed great forethought
and uncomfortable acts of kind
ness to their Gardnerville patrons
and how the accommodating COM
pany ever overlooked this trick is
beyond my limited comprehension
OF the favorism of railroad COM
panies.
Not long ago, a stranger stand
ing on the platform of the Carson
depot locked at the sign and with
sigh of disappointment, turned
to a second traveller and asked
to be directed to the Gardnerville
train. The latter took quick
glance at the packard dangling al
the rear of the Mihden train and
and then turned to the Virginia
train and said chat must be it"
and both were soon speeding to
Gardnerville-in their minds, but
in reality to Virginia City.
Gardnerville does not make a
very big dent in the map to be
sure, but as one who believes that
railroads should display signs for
the benefit of directing the public
even more so than the crossroads
on our county highways.

New Road Will be Built.

By law made by the late Cali
fornia Legislature, calling for a
State highway connecting every
county seat of that state, the an
nouncement comes that Marklee-
vile and Bridgeport will be con-
nected with such road.
The new road will cross the
range west of Antelope Valley and
will shorten the present route by
% miles. As it is now it is neces-
sary to pass through Carson Val
ley in covering the distance be.
tween the two points.
Alpine and Mono counties will
stand portion of the expense of
the highway but the state will at
tend to its maintenance after it's
construction.

FORMER GENOA
MAN IS INSANE

Information was received in
Genoa this week from the state of
Virginia telling of the misfortune
that has overta ken Andrew Ritch-
lie, a former reident of that town.
He was taken suddenly insane and
from reports it appears that his
case is hopeless one.
For many years Ritchie was
faithful attendant at the hot
springs during the life of Mrs.
Valley. After her death he con-
Quoted the business for some time
for the estate. After that time he
worked in a wood camp at Hobart.
We understand that he was
member in good standing of the
Genoa Lodge of Odd Fellows at the
time he became demented.

BIG BALL GAME
NEXT SUNDAY

The baseball season of 1909 will
be officially opened in Gardner
vile Sunday by game between
the nine fr}m the Carson lndiai.
School and thes ardnerville team.
The home team has INDUCED in
a few practice games thus far this
season. but Sundays game will be
the first big event to take place
on the local diamond.
The Indians have, probably, one
II the best team in western Neva-
la and it will keep the local boys
hnstling Ito defeat them. The
strength of the home nine is still
something of an unknown guam
tity. A number of last years
nine are still here, but Will Julian,
or I'Georgia" as he was better
known, has not returned from the
East and there are many who be-
that he will be sadly missed
However, we have the assurance Of
the manager that he has opened
negotiations with pitcher "a
good as Georgia" ard in all prob
ability he will arrive in time to
participate in the game Sunday.
The baseball team has been plae-
ed under the auspices of the Car
soniValley Athletic Club and that
organization has had considerable
work performed on the diamond
which will give us one of the best
fields in the state. An admission
fee of % cents will be charged for
Sundays game and it is hoped
that a large crowd will be in al
tendance TO offer encouragement
to the team in its first game of tb"
season.
