MR.. PAUL WEATHERS ENTER
TAINS AT DINNER

Saturday night at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. B. A. Weathers. their young
est son, Mr.. Paul Weathers, who is
a member of this years graduating
class from the Ocala High School,
gave an elegant dinner, his guests
being the members of the class, and
the high school teachers This was
the first of the parties for the gradu-
ates of nineteen-eleven. and it was
one long to be remember ed by them.
The dinner table was conferred with
the letters o. H. s., formed with
beautiful golden hued flowers and the
chandelier was draped with yellow
chiffon and flowers. The class colors
are gold and black, and these colOrs
were used as much as possible in the
decorations. The place cards We're
exceedingly novel and attractive, be-
ing little men and women, their heads
formed from acorns. Each little fig
ure wore a graduates cap and gown
with yellow hoods, and held in Their
hands miniature diplomas. On the
backs of the cards were the names
of the guests and then in very cute
rhymes was a different stunt tlaC
each one had to perform after din
ner. One boy was required to de-
scribe some woman of his acqualnt-
ance, and so vividly that her mana
had to be guessed by the others; an
other had to tell of the worst scIaLe
he had ever gotten into; another had
to sing, another recite, and so on. The
rhymes were very clever, and the per-
formance of the required capers of
each one was very funny.
Seated at the table were Mr.. and
Mrs. Weathers, the teachers, Mr..
Workman. Mr.. Greenwood, Miss
Sims and Miss Reynolds, and the sew
en- graduates, Misses Anna McDowan
and Jessie Wilson and Messrs. Her.
bert Martin, Laurie Izlar, Leon Lei
ner, Edward Henderson and the 7op-
ular young host.
Dinner was served in courses, and
in each course as far as possible the
gold and black was used, grapefruit
being one of the courses, and the de-
sert was orange ice served in the or
ange shells, with orange cake, iced
in chocolate. Each course was more
delicious than the previous one, and
the entire dinner was a social triumph
for the young host. Jollity and mer-
riment reigned throughout the meaI
and the evening was one that will be
always full of pleasant memories.

MEETING OF THE WoMANs CLUB

A very interesting meeting of the
Woman's Club was held in the club
rooms Saturday afternoon, Mrs. Viii
! liam Hooker presiding. After the
minutes had been read by the secre-
tary Mrs. R. L. Bowling, the regular
business session was held.
Mrs. D. NJ. Smith reported that she
had had one of the water fountains
that formerly adorned the court house
square, and which had been discarded
by the city, placed in front of her own
home. She keeps it regularly clean
ed, and has fresh water in it constant
ly, and has watered many thirsty
horses and mules. Arrangements
are hoped to be made to have the 9th.
er one placed near the S. A. l.. depot.
and to keep fresh water in it for the
stock in that section of the city. Mrs
Smith was given a vote of thanks for
the interest she has taken in this mat
ter and for the expense she has un-
dergone.
Mrs. Tydings, chairman of the civic
committee, then made an excellent
report of what her committee had al
ready done, and of what it hopes to
do. She wants the club to help boost
the proposition of securing a union
depot for Ocala. She also thought it
would be good idea to offer prizes
for the best kept yard in . the city,
both among the white and colorod
people. This plan has been tried il
many of the large cities and has prov
en- very successful. Several other
suggestions were made in her report,
after which Miss Lucy Moorhcad read
a paper on current civic events, which
likewise contained many very valua-
BILE and practical suggestions. Afte~
her paper and several other items CT
interest athe club adjourned.
Mrs. Bradford Webb of Kendrick
was an out of town member present
at Saturdays meeting.

Hon F. E. Harris, Ocala, Florida:
My Dear Mr.. Harris-We were all
much pleased with the Trade Edi-
ton" of the Banner, and the many
old familiar scenes (and the many
new ones for that matter) made us
all quite homesick
We all look for the Banner each
week as a letter from the old friends
at home, and while we see many new
names there is always lots of news
about those we are interested in for
''old times sake"
We Arizonians are very earnestly
working for statehood under our
constitution, which we regard the
best yet," and which We adopted de-
liberately Notwithstanding many
warnings and threats from the pow
ers that be that if We did so we would
be excluded. We feel almost sure
now that it will not be long before
congress admits us to statehood, as
our delegation at Washington write
that each day the ranks of those
members of congress, who believe
that the sovereign people of a SOW
ereign state are entitled to frame
their own constitution to suit them
selves and their conditions, are in
creasing. / am sending you a copy
of the constitution under separate
cover
With very kindest regards and good
wishes from all of us to you and
yours, and to all old friends there,
and trusting that the Banner will
prosper and always maintain the
high standard of excellence it has at
tanned under your guidance, etc.
