Mr.. AND MRS. TUCKER SERE-

From Tuesdays Daily:
Last night the Metropolitan Band
assembled. as usual for practice AS
a surprise TO one of the most lmpor-
liant members of the band, Mr.. H. w.
Tucker, who was recently married to
Miss Vivian Dame, the boys decided
to give him 4 grand send-off, and after
practice assembled in front of Mrs.
Perdue's boarding house, where Mr..
and Mrs. Tucker are at present re-
siding. After several selections Mr.
Tucker was finally annoyed and
to stop the disturbance" offered to
give the boys anything in the shop"
Mr.. and Mrs. Tucker were en-
tirely surprised and not knowing what
else to do, invited the guests into the
dining room. Mrs. Perdue, however,
being equal to the occasion, invited
the guests 10 be seated, and, with her
acknowledged hospitality, served the
guests of Mr.. and Mrs. Tucker with
ice cream and several kinds of cake,
and after an all round shake the
boys departed, wishing Mr.. and Mrs.
Tucker the happiness they so richly
deserve.

No definite information has been

the Gainesville and Gulf was purchas-

lief regarding this interest still pre-

never purchased stock in the small
road. A local railroad man yesterday
stated that he did not believe that the
Southern would ever build on or buy
south of Jacksonville, having perfect

with the Atlantic Coast Line. No
transportation fact has ever been
more evident than that Tampa has
long been in sore need of a quicker

HAVOC, THE KING OF THE HAND

From Tuesdays Daily:
Hayco is the stage name of Mr..
Phillip Kruger, who has astonished
both hemispheres in his marvellous
feats of releasing himself from any
number of handouts and leg irons.
Mr.. Kruger is a native of Moscow,
Russia. and at an early period devel-
.oped this wonderful power, so much
SO that he was warned by the police
of Russia that he must desist or that
he would be regarded as a suspicious
character, and would be sent to ST
IBERIA.
Hayco could not resist the tempta-
ton, and was imprisoned by the Rus
sian government for the purpose of
expectation, and was placed in what

POSTMASTERS TO MEET n
OCALA

Interesting Program Arranged, and as
Enthusiasm is Being Displayed
Large Attendance Expected
With a large membership compris-
ed of postmasters of third and fourth
class offices, the Florida State Post
masters League will be convened in
annual assembly at noon Wednesday,
August Is, in the court house at
Ocala. Leaves of absence have been
granted all postmasters of these class
es by the first assistant postmaster
general in order that all who desire
may attend the convention.
The members of the League are not
what are known as presidential post
masters, and are therefore not ap-
pointed by the president, nor are they
under the direction or jurisdiction of
the civil service or presidency.
There arc four classes of postof
fees, classed according to the gross
receipts of Office In order to be-
come first class postoffice the an
nual gross receipts must be $4,000 or
over; to become a second class post
Office, $4,000 or over; to become a
third class postofice, $1,000 or over
The gross receipts of the fourth class
Offices are therefore under these fig
ures. The Jacksonville Office is, of
course, of the first class, and ranks
high in the department The postal
receipts during last year alone were
over $1,000
There are many postofices of the
third and fourth class in the state,
and a large attendance at the coming
annual convention will doubtless be
representative.
The officers of the league are as
follows:
J. Vt. Lmdy of Paris, president
Miss Marion W. Sargent Of Avon |
Park, treasurer.
Miss Annie E. Allen Of Orange
Park, secretary.
Much enthusiasm is being manifest /
ed in the meeting, and it is hoped to |
make it the most successful YET held. /
An interesting program has been pre-
pared, consisting OF papers to be read
by those in attendance.
The following are among the sub /
jects TO be treated:
a Postmaster's Duty in League /
Work, and How Can We Interest the
Postmaster?
What Can We Do TO Raise theI
Standard Of the Work Done by Our
