Friday afternoon Mrs. G. W. Martin
entertained at her home on Orange
avenue in honor of two very attractive
young girls, Miss Clara Johnson and
Miss Carrie bowdell Miss Johnson
who attends Stetson University, is
having delightful social attentions
during her visit home. She was very
attractive in red silk, with shoes and
stockings to match. The other honor
guest, Miss Dowdell, of Alabama, wore
"a lovely blue silk frock that was very
becoming to her. Miss Dowdell is the
house guest of Mrs. Martin, who is
her aunt.
Mrs. Martin was assisted by her
daughter, Miss Gladys Martin, Miss
Ruth Moore, Miss Gladys Wallis and
Miss Hannay Ellis, and Misses Cora
and Ossie Griffin of Anthony.
Mrs. Martin entertaine dabout thir-
ty-five girls and they spent a very
merry afternoon writing recipes"
which were made into neat little
books with hand-painted covers, done
in holly. Each guest received also a
pretty little calendar as a souvenir of
this very happy occasion.
One of the clever recipes was the
following:
81 give you the recipe of very good
cake,
1t is called one, two, three. -four;
IT'S the kind, if you get only'a small
piece
You're sure to want some more.
Of butter you take exactly one cup,
Of sugar an even two;
Be sure you take the greatest pains
To mix these through and through.
Of cups of flour you must have three,
A cup of milk, to thin;
Take just four eggs, the best you can
get,
And carefully beat them in"
\ After the girls finished making the
attractive little recipe books they
were served delicious refreshments,
consisting of chicken salad, waters,
hot chocolate and fruit cake.
Miss Johnson, who has wonderful
ly sweet voice, sang several selections,
and Miss Annie Laurie Perry played
number of beautiful piano solos.
Mrs. Martins party was in every
way charming.

A NEW FLORIDA FRUIT

Mrs. B. H. Seymour, who has very
beautiful grapefruit and orange grove
near Homestead, in Dade county, has
placed on our desk very pretty cit
rus production, which is new to our
literature, and tells us that we have a
Luther Burbank living in that Sec
ton of Florida. This fruit is beauti-
full in color, velvety to the touch, and
is in every way attractive. 1t is a
cross between the tangerine and the
pomelo, or grapefruit, and has been
named the "tangelo." 1t partakes OF
the nature of both the tangerine and
grapefruit, and is destined to become
popular. We do not know what is in
store for those who are to come after
us, but we shall always be tempted
by delicious, newly developed fruits.

The only regrettable thing about
the Citizens Bank taking over the
Commercial Bank is the elimination
of DR.. Bitch as its local head, and
his probable retirement from Ocala.
He is one of the most amiable and de-
servedly popular men in our county.
and in losing him Ocala loses one of
her best and purest citizens. but he is
idolized in the Blitchton neighbor-
hood, and Ocala's loss will be their
gain. Besides being an excellent ply
stefan, DR.. Bitch is a progressive and
prosperous farmer, and his farm,
which is already a model, will be still
further improved, and will be as valu-
able as a government experiment sta
ton. Our best wishes go with DR..
Bitch.
