Rev. ]. B. Ley preached his second
sermon on Highways" Sunday. These
sermons are profoundly practical, en-
tertaining and instructive. They COW
er the entire journey through life
in all of it's ramifcations. They are
logical in their deductions and con-
clusions and should be preached to
crowded seats. If the distinguished
author can get the time to commit
them to paper they will be printed in
this paper in it's Sunday editions.
They should be preserved and can he
preserved in this way and should be
read by a larger a congregation as
possible.

MISS CARRIE WILLIAMS AND Mr.
ROBERT McDOUGALD QUIET
LY MARRIED ON SUNDAY

The most cordial and delightful in-
terest is centered in the announce
ment of the marriage of Miss Carrie
Williams and Mr.. Robert McDougald,
which was very quietly solemnized on
Sunday, December the tenth, at half
after twelve o'clock at the home of
the brides mother, Mrs. NJ. A. Will
liams, on Orange avenue. More than
ordinary interest is felt in this mar
riage, which was kept such a pro-
found secret that no one except the
ceremony had been performed. Ne
one was told of the young couples
intention to be married until a few
days before, so the news came as
quite surprise to their many friends.
Particularly interesting is this we'd
ding because the bride and groom
were closely connected, although no
kin, the groom being a nephew of
Messrs. I. c. and R. S. Hall of this
city and the bride sister of Mrs.
r. S. Hall, with whom she has spent
a great deal of her time The mar
rage is elimination of a charming
romance begun several years ago
when the couple were quite young.
Only the families of the bride and
groom and two special friends, Mrs.
Edward Holder and Miss Alice Bull
lock, were present at the marriage,
which was quietly performed by Rev.
J. D. Chapman of the Baptist church,
in very pretty and impressive cere-
mony. Mr.. McDougald and Miss Will
liams entered the parlor of the Will
liams home together, and in the pres
ence of their family their lives and
destinies we're joined together.
Miss Williams was married in a
coat suit of gray, with gray gloves
and shoes, and blue hat with white
wings. After the ceremony a family
wedding dinner was served, immedi-
ately after which Mr. Troy Hall took
NJ and Mrs. McDougald down %
Beleview in his automobile, at which
place they caught the train for Tam
pa, where they will spend several
days, going from there to Sarasota,
where they will make their home for
the present.
The groom is q splendid young fel-
low. and is engaged in the turpentine
bushes with his uncle, Mr.. r. S. Hall,
with headquarters at Sarasota.
?Mrs McDougald. as Miss Carrie
Williams, was one OF Ocala's popular
society girls, and she has nothing but
good wishes for happy married life,
but it is very much regretted that her
home is not to be in Ocala. She has
spent the greater part of the past
| few years here with her sister, Mrs.
r. S. Hall, and more recently with her
mother, who moved to this city TO
reside after the death of her husba Id
about two years ago. The groom
spent several years of his boyhood
here, making his home with his uncle,
Mr.. T. c. Hall, and he is to be con-
graduated on winning such a charm
ing wife.

PORTED AS IMPROVING.

Joe Wilmot is the name of the negro
who killed Robert S. Mays at his tur.
pentine camp in Walton county last
Monday afternoon, when D. ]. Goodwin
was also wounded, seriously. This in
formation, with a. description Of the
negro, has been put on file at the local
police headquarters and also in the Of
fee of Sheriff Van Pelt. The name
of the negro has been heretofore I'M
known, as he was a comparative
stranger in the turpentine camp.
While no arrest has been made or,
AS far as is known. no direct clue has
even been obtained, the authorities
hope to effect capture within few
days. The sheriffs force of deputies
are leaving nothing undone to locate
the wanted negro if he should have
come TO Pensacola or any part of the
county, which is considered not at all
improbable. Chief of Police Frank
Sanders and the police force are also
on the lookout.
The condition of Mr. Goodwin, who
was seriously wounded by the negro
at the time of tine killing Of Mr.. Mays.
is reported as improving. He is suf.
fering from a dangerous bullet wound
in the abdomen.
