THIRD annual BANQUET
Leon Commercial CIab had an EnJoy'
able Time at Their Annual Ban
quet "Wednesday Evening.

| The thlrd annual DanQuCL OF Tie
Leon Commercial Club was held al
the K. P. hall last Wednesday even
ing, over two hundred ladies and
gentlemen being present The ladies
of the Christian church served a
five course banquet in a style which
cannot be excelled in any city. The
Leon orchestra furnished splendid
music throughout the evening.
! Hon. V. R. McGinnis presided as
toastmaster, and as the banquet was
held on the anniversary of the birth
of George Washington, it afforded
the toastmaster an opportunity to
pay a glowing tribute to this grand
man. Four of the gentlemen who
able to attend, M. M. Reno, Iowa
passenger agent of the Burlington
being called to Chicago on import
ant business, w. C.. Stempel and c.
w. Hoffman being prevented by i'll
ness, and Senator J. D. Brown could
not leave the senatorial deadlock at
Des Moines. DR.. B. l.. Eiker was
called upon to respond to the toast,
George Washington" and although
he was only notified after reaching
the banquet hall, he made a short
talk which surprised everyone, and
was one of the treats of the evening.
Mayor James F. Harvey told of the
progress which had been made in
drilling for deep water, the toast
assigned to him being Deep Wells
are Bores.'' He told in a concise
manner of the hard work which the
city council had been doing to push
along the waterworks and of the OBJ
stacles which had been encountered,
and said that the work of drilling
was now going on in earnesc, with
new men in charge and they are
making good progress. president
James w. Hurst of the Commercial
Club responded to the toast Leon
Commercial Club" and told of some
Of the things which the club had
accomplished and of others they had
| ii view. Mr. Hurst is a good talker
and one Of the hardest workers for
the Interests of the Commercial Club
and the city. J. r. Bowsher re-
sponded to the toast 'Now for a City
Park" which had been assigned to
Senator Brown, and he outlined a
plan for securing park which met
with the approval of his hearers He
| IL ; 4 booster all right and always
ready to put his shoulder to the
wheel. Mr.. C. H. Harrison, of St..
Joe, who had the contract for build
ing our magnificent new depot was
called upon and he made a real
booster talk, and one which struck
awarm spot in the hearts of his
hearers. He likes Leon, and does
not hesitate to say so. The rail-
read sU6cials who we're expected to
attend all sent regrets, there being
an important meeting at Chicago
that day which they had to attend.
Following the banquet and speak
ing there was couple of hours spent
in social talk, with music by a quar-
tet composed of Bob Tatman, George
Boone, Leslie Grimes and Will
Rhoades, and the orchestra.
Along about midnight everyone
went home, feeling that it was a
good thing to be member of the
Leon Commercial Club, and we'll
satisfied that the third annual ban
quet had been success.

Barn Burned.

The barn owned by Mrs. Mary
Criago in east Leon was destroyed
by fire about i o'clock last Thursday
morning. When first discovered the
barn was about ready to fall in.
How the fire started Is a mystery,
as the barn was almost empty, no
stock being kept in it, but buggy
and some other goods owned by S.
X. Carmean were stored in it. Mr..
Carmean had no insurance, but Mrs.
Craigo had 5000 on the barn.

BOARD OF TRADE
SEEMS ON THE BUM

Secretary Savares' efforts to secure
meeting of the Oca1a Board of Trade
last night did not meet with that
hearty response it's Importance war
ranted. The members failed to ma
terialize. AS a matter of general in
terest the members should have been
on hand to learn what became of the
proposition to secure a horse lot for
the convenience and use of country
people in town, also the movement to
participate heartily in the 1st of May
post card shower, and to urge our rep
resentatives at Tallahassee to assist in
so drafting the law of bonding that
Ocala could take positive steps to in
sure enlarged school house facilities
and take care of the floating school
deft that the school board has no au-
thority or power to 1iquidate. There
are other matters that could have been
discussed, but the foregoing are of i'm
mediate and vital Importance and
should receive our concerted and united
attention.

THE MORMONS

There is a magazine movement on
hand to muckrake the Mormons. TO the
end that they may be disciplined or
the face of the earth.
The Mormons are apparently doing
from religious standpoint what other
men do on the quiet. At the same time
it must be admitted that making a re-
ligion of getting married is probably
carrying the thing too far.
1t is far better to keep your religion
separate from your marrying capac-
ity. You can then get married as Oft
en- as you please, and aside from the
slight difficulty Of having to pay ALI
mony, you stand in no danger Of los
ing your soul Even matters OF ALI
mony can usually be adjusted TO a
minimum.
In these days, bigamy Is not only un-
necessary, but stupid. To start out de-
liberately TO marry as many women as
you can, without going through the
slight formality OF getting rid of, the
last one, is an asinine performance.
The Mormon has troubles of his
own. Why disturb him in the enjoy
ment of them?
He never knows where he is going
to lay his head. Just as he gets a cozy
corner fixed up in one room, with his
desk pad and all his papers arranged
to suit him, he hears that number
three in the next block is beginning to
show signs of homesickness and he has
to leave his temporary home and &c
and comfort her loneliness.
If he has literary temperament, he
| has to live in a dress-suit case and a
travelling inkstand. And his movements
being so uncertain, nobody will lenC
him books.
The life of the Mormon Is by nc
means easy. Where one man may have
to listen to the narrowing tale OF the
desertion of the last cook, he may. IL
the course of a week, have to listen Il
a dozen. Then again, a Mormon nevel
knows where his dress suit is. Everl
time he is invited out to a dinner, or 4
a ball, he has TO run over the list ant
try and remember where he left 4
last.
And after the dinner is over, thinl
of the trouble the Mormon has in goini
home, Under these narrowing circum
stances ii is often hard enough to fin,
one home, but how is any man goin,
to remember a dozen or more?
The Mormon is constantly goini
through all of the discomforts of trav
ell, without any of the broadening in
fuences. No wonder. under these try
ing circumstances, the Mormon need
all the religion he can lay his hand
lupon.-Life.

Mr.. William Counts died this morn
ing after a weeks illness of pneu-
monia. He and his son and daughter

Mr.. Counts was a brother Of Mr.. J.
H Counts and Mrs. Will Woods A
year ago he injured his foot, blood
poison set in and II had to be ampu-
tated and since then his health has
not been good.
He lost his wife about a year ago,
who was the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.

vived by one grown daughter. Miss
Rebecca Counts and son, Claude,
aged twelve years. Deceased was a
SON OF the late Nicholas Counts, one of

Representative Tomlin OF Plant City,
has introduced resolution in the
House for the payment Of the state
fair appropriation for the years 1908
and 1909, amounting to 100000. Also
let that of the DeFuniak fair be in
cluded and pass the measure on sight.
This delay and dillydallying of the
legislature on a just and honorable OBJ
legation Is a reflection on the honor
and honesty of the state. The prize
winners went to the trouble and ex-
pense Of making their displays and
secured the premiums and why they
should be held up no good reason can
be given for it. We know of several
worthy young men Of this city who
made a display for Washington coun-
ty and were awarded the premium of
nearly $500, for said effort, as the best
exhibit OF agricultural products from
West Florida. They labored hard, de-
MED themselves and about ruined
themselves financially in their efforts
to achieve success, and are still pa
tiently waiting for their money. 1t is
senseless for the legislature to say
there Is no money in the treasury for
this obligation. Well, if there is not
make 1t and that D. Q.
