A Delightful Party

From tue moment that Invitations
we're received by out two score Of
our young people bidding ,hen to
meet Mr.. and Mrs. Robt, Davis at
Lovers Lane, it was felt that novel
and delightful treat was in store.
The appointed hour was Friday eve
ming and promptly the guests gather
ed at "lovers lane" double avenue
Of cedars on the east side OF Lake
Francis. Garlands OF graceful moss
bad been draped from tree to tree,
from which japanese laaterns sway
ed and twinkled. "A soft sylvan
carpet of fragrant pine straw was
laid the whole length OF the lane and
rugs aud cushions scattered unstud-
tedly here aud there. Mr.. and Mrs.
Davis assisted by their attractive
petite sister Miss Louise Davis, the
hOnoree Of the occasion, accorded the
guests a warm welcome, al one en-
trance to the lane, while at the other
little Miss Nita Davis dispensed re-
freshing ice cold fruit punch. The
sbimmering waters of the lake, the
perfume laden spring Eephyrs, the
flood of silvery moonlight all cast a
glamour over the scene and one
could almost imagine that Titmia
and heT magic band would soon APP
pear and join in the merriment.
There was magic enough however
without tie wand Of the fairy q ueen
tue magic OF warm southern hospi-
tality, of spring moonlight and MUSIC,
Of bright eyes and youth and hope.
Miss DAVIS with the guitar and Mr.,
Davis with his violin rendered sever
eral lovely pieces of music, the "old
fashioned" kind which always stirs

Obituary.

Mr.. S, E. Lee was born Mar. l
1862, died Mar 27 19O9at his home
near Sampedro in Madison o.. Fla.
His life had been passed in this vi
cinity: he had been a patient suffer
er for many weeks and no one realiz-
ed that he would pass from US so
soon.
He was loved and respected by all
who knew him, he leaves eight chill
dreu and a host of relatives aud
friends TO mourn his loss.
From the stricken sous Of the be-
reaved there arses the cry, Why has
death taken our dear one from usi
Why could he not have spared tor
more years the friend, whose use
fulness, perhaps, was at its height,
whose hands held many golden
threads as yet unspun7
Why should our father snd friend
be taken from the home OF winch he
was the light and comfort Why
was he torn from his motherless ch&-
dren?
Goods plsus, like lilies pure and
white, unfold; We must not tear
the close shut leaves apart; Time
will reveal the cslyxeS Of gold
perchance, no. uHti thedawn Of ;hat
perfect tomorrow in Gods white
land of light, wben all mysteries Of
eartR and the designs OF the Master
concerning us are6isclosed when we
shall know even as we are known,
will these questions be wholly answer
ed.
We extend our heart felt sYE pa
thy to the bereaved children.
A Friend.

organization Of Legislature.

When this meets the eye of our
readers the legislature of 1909 will
he fairly woll down to mark. The
organization of both houses was at
tended with considerable anteres, and
in one or TWO instances, strenuous
wire pulling was resorted to in be-
half Of the candidates.
In the organization Of the Senate
there is a noticeable lack of that in
tense anxiety which characterizes
the organization of tlIe House Of
Representatives. Under our Con-
sdtuaon and laws one half of the
Senator's are electsd every two years
and it ig tue custom OF the "Hold-
overs" at the end of each session to
taroll out the elective positions
among themselves and upon the re
assembling the candidates of the
"Holdovers' are usually elected to
the positions for which they were
chosen by asclamstion. 1t is very
rare that the hold-over combination
is broken, but some times it so hap
pens. This rule, however does not
apply in the selection OF a President
Of the Senate. In the present ses
sion two distinguished gentlemen
sought this exalted and coveted po
sition, Senator Feed NJ. Hudson Of
Miami and Senator Joseph Il. Hum
pbries of BraideRtown, The pc
liminary battle for this place was
warm but good natured throughout
and terminated in the caucus Mon
day night by the election of Senator
Hudson who received twenty Of the
votes Of his fellows while Senator
Humphrey received eleven. Other
officers and attaches are as follows:

bright sally as they we're read Etael

escorted each young man to some
young lady, compelling a frequent
change of partners. At late hOat

verdict that a more delightful partS
was never before given in Madi-

Cemetery Association to Meet

There is to be an important meet
ing OF the Cemetery Association neEE
Mon day afternoon at 3 30 O'Clock,
when several business matters wili
be brought up, and it is important
that every lady of this place should
attend. There is no one who haS
not been gratiaed at the work done
by this organization, norris there any
one who has beloved dead laid'awSy
at the cemetery, who has not shaaed
in the improvements which have been
made there. Then come out and do
your part towards perpetuaiing this
organization. The association is said
to be without a Presiding Officer and
the election of President will doubt
less be one of tie matters to be taxi
en up.

J. c. Cracey.

Our people were saddened last
Sunday morning by the announc-
nent that Mr.. Gracey was dying.
He fingered until about Z p. m,
when his spirit took its flight.
He had been i'll for some three
weeks with fever and steadily
grown worse. Every possible
means used to stay the progress Of
disease was in vain; he seemed to
be marked for death from the be-
ginning. Mr.. Gracey was an ell
der of the Presbyterian church and
to his zeal and liberality the pres
ent prosperous condition of the
church is larg ly due. He was a
member of the Board of Alder
men, receiving the largest vote of
any candidate for that place. He
was public spirited citizen, al
ways doing his utmost for the adj
vancement of his town. Liberal,
charitable, social he was one of
our most popular and progressive
men. Mr.. Gracey came here
about years ago from Covington,
Tenn, and was about 38 years of
age. He leaves widow and
children whose loss is indeed
great and irremediabe. The fun
eral service took place at the
Presbyterian church by the Pas
tor, Rev. H. M. Jenkins, and
large audience assembled to do
honor to the memory of good
man. The body was laid to rest
in Oak Grove cemetery.

raised his whip to check the steers
and just at that moment one wheel

front of the wagon, one of the
front wheels passing over his left
shoulder crushing it terribly, SO
much so that his life may be en-
danpered

Obituary.

To the finite mind Gods deal
ings and providences with us are
often hard to understand, for here
we see through a glass darkly, +"
and it is only by the leading of a
strong Christian faith we are en-
abled to say God doeth all things
we'll. - Thus in viewing the
death of that grand Christian
man, Mr.. J. c. Gracey, we feel
constrained to stand with our
hands in our mouths, and our
mouths in 1.-The dust" because thou
did st it, knowing some day with
fearless eyes we'll see, And then,
ah then, we'll understand. Mr..
Gracey is without peer in his
relations to his home, his church
his friends and the community,
blessing each by his lovely mas
suming Christian character, liv-
ing every day in close communion
with his God and rejecting this
divine light among all with whom
he came in contact, Sweetening
the life Of wife and children by
his tender love and care, holding
his aged father and mother in
deepest affection and reverence
cherishing his friendships as some
thing sacred and bearing loyalty
upon his shoulders'the little church
he loved so well, giving to it his
devotion, his prayers and his purse.
At all times abounding in the
work of the Lord. ?" Bereaved
ones, in this hour of your grief,
look away from this eyerchanging
world with its cares, SORROWS and
tears, to the God man." the on
ly hand tender enough, the only
voice gentle enough to speak peace
to your bleeding hearts. He will
fold you in his arms, and tender
ly, oh SO tenderly lead lead you
beside still waters, and through
green pastures, until He lands
you safely with youi loved one.
Oh how sweet it will be in that
beautiful land,
So free from all sorrow and pain,
With songs on our lips, and harps
in our hands,
To meet one another again. "
