The Ocala banner. (Ocala, Marion County, Fla.) 1883-194?, 1909-06-25
LOVELY LOS KISS
Special to the ocala Banner:

Enrol is the name selected for the
new animal park just completed in
Lankershim addition. Miss Adelia
Harrington, the youngest member of
the Just Us Girls club, chose the
name. The park is named in honor
of Miss Enrol Solomon, vice president
of the ]. L. G. club, and daughter of
Editor Eugene A. Solomon of the
Evening Gretchen.
Some dozen or more names were
sent in to the Gretchen, but this was
the best one to her liking.
AS the club members have the
Ocala Banner and the Times-Union on
their table. the Gretchen will give
Miss Harrington for a prize a free
pass over the Solomon minute" or
commonly known as the miniature"
railway, running from st. Helena to
Santa Singerland. She will have a
chaperon on the trip.
Several large paintings bedeck the
lobby and parlOr of the Hotel Royal
Opal. They are very interesting, in
that they are home scenes and very
fine. There are scenes on the Okla
waha and Silver Springs runs and in
and around Ocala and Los Kiss. These
paintings were made in Los Kiss by
Miss Blanche Heller.
1t is said that Orange county will
build vitrifed brick highways through
and through her country. The ]. U.
G. club will start this end of the Ma
rion reserve way if Marion county and
Uncle Sam will build through the re-
serve with vitrified brick.
There is no prettier place in the
country than Los Kiss, and no pref
tier drive in the world than the IA
nous curving and twisting Mary Lou
divide, the 1OO-foot double road av-
enue that follows the bending, limpid
Oklawaha river from st. Helena to
Sunday Bluff.
The Just Us Girls clubs ball team
all girls-will play the st. Helena
girls nine on Saturday afternoon. The
ST. Helena team played here at Los
Kiss last Saturday afternoon, and the
j. L. G. club, by real hard work, sue
ceeded in winning by a score of 3 to >.
The alarm of fire was sounded to-
day al $3.50 p. NJ, and it came from
the Ethelton's docks at pier No. 5.
Fire boats Hood and Weston steamed
in and had four streams on the burn
ing building when engines No. and
No. 3, and a whole regiment of city
paraphernalia arrived. The damage
was slight, owing to our efficient fire
department and fire boats.
The plunge that is refreshing these
days is the one that you take in some
deep, inland Florida spring, where the
waters of about a degrees wells up
sparkling and bright
The last strand of wire in Los Kiss
is now underground. The J. L. G.
club ruled that telegraph and tele-
phone wires should all be put under
ground last May. From that time on
up until Monday night, linemen Lave
labOred, day and night, at the great
task. Los Kiss sure is a clean town
now, with the hOrrid wires and poles
gone. What city will follow suit?
Miss Lenora Landsdown, president
of the j. L. G. club. is not in favor
Of the wooden posts which support
the sheds in front of business blocks
Well, there are not any such in Los
Kiss. Long ago this city discarded
the wooden posts and put in their
place marble columns, some white and
others coIored.
The Los Kiss High School closes

five young lady graduates. Instead of
writing an essay, as is the usual Gus
tom. each graduate will write two
verses of poetry on School Days"

The yacht Lenore is now at st. Pc
tersburg,- Fla, and the bridal couple
writes that they are happy, as st. Pc
tersburg is so very pretty and just
the right place to spend a honey
moon.
Messrs. W, T. and F. have returned
from 4 weekend visit to Ocala. Had
they returned in a sober condition We
might have chronicled their names.
The prescription counters" up in the
Brick City seem to have a bad effect
on our citizens, for everytime any of
them go up Ocala way the J. L. G..
clubs patrol wagon is sent for them.
