Mrs. j. W.. Davis was q Pro-
nOuneed Success

The first musical ever given in Sum-
merfield took place last Friday night
at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. j.
w. Davis and was pronounced a sue
cess. The residence, which is large.
was brilliantly Illuminated and the
pOrches and lawn were gaily lighted
with varicolored lanterns; the re-
freshment booths were prettily and
tastefully decorated with vines, moss
and flowers and daintily dressed little
girls and manly boys were in charge
of the booths. Mrs. Davis, who con-
ceived the idea OF this first musical
managed the affair with charming
ability and received the guests with
much grace and made all welcome
The program which contained ten
numbers. was exceptionally we'll rem
dered and each number was heartily
encored. The musical was given for
the benefit OF the Methodist church
and a handsome sum was realized
from the sale Of refreshments. The
supper boxes, which were auctioned
Oft, caused some lively bidding on the
part of the young men and the mar
ried ones. Mrs. Davis wishes to thank
all for the generosity displayed in as
sisting a good cause and also those
ladies and gentlemen who took part
in the musical program. The program

Mr.. Rooney, assistant industrial
agent of the Seaboard Air Line and
now in charge of the Jacksonville Of
fee. arrived last Friday to investigate
the needs OF a night man here. Since
Summerfield was made the headquar-
ters Of the Florida National Land Co.
there is not train north or south
which does not have to stop here to
let of or take on passengers. and 1t is
very annoying to the patrons Of the
road who arrive or depart at night to
find the station closed and no one to
look after their wants. In justice to
the heavy travel here, it is hoped that
Summerfield will secure the night man
and also the new station which has al
ready been promised Mr.. Rooney
spent several days here looking over
the situation and left for Jacksonville
last Tuesday, from which place he
will make his report.
Mr.. Harry Close of Ocala, Is now in
the employ Of the Florida National
Land Co. He will have charge of the

is an experienced chauffeur and no
one need fear old stumps and other
obstructions.

pointed section boss Tor the Summer

Mr.. Dautrey. who was formerly in that

Mr.. J. F. Ricketson. our popular
station agent who is away on his va
cation. sends US a souvenir postal card
from Colorado Springs. Colo, and has

tinues cold like this I will cut out
