street and Q street Old residents of
Washington sometimes say that the
entire neighborhood was once known
as Tudor place, and named in honor
OF the royal house of England. The
Tudor place of today has on it the
old house built century ago by
Thomas Peter.
Mrs. Beverly Kennon was born at
Tudor place in January, 1915, and
practically all her life has been
passed there. She is in the line of
direct descent from Martha Washing
ton Martha Washingtons first hus-
band, it will be remembered, was
John Parke Custfs. When she mar
ried George Washington she had one
son, also a John Custis, who is men
toned as aid-de-camp to Washington
at one period during the revolution.
This young man married Eleanor Cal
vert, descendant of the Lords Balti-
more. From this marriage there
were four children, one of whom was
Martha Custis, who married Thomas
Peter. 1t was Thomas Peter who
built Tudor place and who was Mrs
Kennon's father. Her maiden name
was Britannia Peter. She married
Commodore Beverly Kennon of the
navy
Thomas Peter built Tudor place OF
good old-fashioned brick and covered
it over with plaster. He made the
halls wide, the ceilings high, the win
dows large and placed great columns
in little semi-circular cluster on the
south side. Folks nowadays would say
the house is rambling" one at any
rate it runs east and west and Is
wider than three ordinary city
houses. The plaster that covers the
brick walls on the outside has hard
ened so that it looks to be sandst

MR.. TUCKER VERY ILL

Mr. William ]. Tucker was taken
sick last Saturday, and yesterday
morning took a turn for the worse
and all day yesterday he was in a crit.
ical condition. All is being done for
him that solicitude and medical skill
can suggest.
Mr.. Watterson Tucker who was in
Jacksonville, was telegraphed for, as
was also Mr. fuckers daughter, Mrs.
L. S. Black, of Crystal River Mrs.
Black arrived at four o'clock yester-
day afternoon and Mr.. Watterson
Tucker at an early hour this morning.
Mr. Tucker was moved to the hos
pital last night where it was thought
he could receive better attention.
We hope that more encouraging It'd
ings will be received from his bedside
this morning.

Marion county was fortunate when
it secured Mr.. w. r. Goodwin as q
part owner of it's soil, for he is an in
defatigable worker and a good mixer
He started out. to build boat house
for the Lake Weir Yacht Club, and
has already secured twenty-five hun
dred of the three thousand dollars
necessary to erect it. That, as the
boys say is working some.'' Mr.
Goodwin has been made commodore
of the feet and wears his honors
gracefully, and his example is an in
spiration to all the others. A hundred
or so of Goodwins scattered over the
county would make of it beehive OF
industry and an Eden of delight.

DEATH OF Mr.. WILLIAM TUCKER

This paper announces with sincere
sorrow the death of Mr.. William
Tucker. who died early Wednesday
morning at the Marion county hos
pital
Mr.. Tucker was taken sick on Fri
day, but his symptoms did not be-
come alarming until Tuesday morn
ing. He was taken to the hospital in
order to have the advantage of the ex-
cellent service OF the trained nurses
at that institution, but his condition
continued to grow worse and more
critical until death claimed him.
Mr., Tucker was born near Dawson,
Ga, and when the war between the
states called for the bravest and the
best he was just old enough to shout
der musket, and did not hesitate to
do so, and enlisted in the 18th Georgia
Volunteers. He served until the end
of hostilities.
: After the war Mr.. Tucker was hap
PLY married, and his devoted wife
still survives him. He leaves four
children, two sons and two daughters,
Mr.. Watterson Tucker, Mr. Edward
Tucker, Mrs. B. P King of Tampa and
Mrs. L. S. Black of Crystal River.
Mr.. and Mrs. Tucker moved to this
city in 1897, and during their fourteen
years residence here they have so
lived as to enjoy the respect and es-
TEEN of their neighbors and the COM
munity in general
The deceased performed all the du-
ties and responsibilities of citizenship
in quiet, unobtrusive and unosten-
tatious manner, and when he is called
to give an account of the deeds done
in the body few can give a more sub
stantial record. AS a soldier and a
civilian, he performed his duty to the
very best OF his ability. He married,
grew up a family and the sons are
making good business men and the
daughters good wives. He was prompt
in the settlement of his private obi
cations and led a life void of offense,
and was mixed up in no disputes or
factional or litigious disturbances.
The funeral took place yesterday
at 10 o'clock from the residence on
Orange avenue and South Fourth
street Rev. H. E. Gabby conducted
the services, and the funeral was
under the direction of Messrs. Smith
& Roberts. The body was laid to
rest in the Greenwood cemetery an.
mex.
This paper extends it's sincere con
dolence to the bereaved ones.

MRS. CARNEY AND MRS. MiMMS
cOMPLIMENTED

Mrs. E. L. Carney and her sister
Mrs. B. w. Mimms of Kentucky, who
has been her guest for the past two
months, both of whom leave on FRIDAY
for Tallahassee, were beautifully com
plimented Wednesday afternoon by
Mrs G. S. Scott and Mrs. John H
Taylor, who entertained in their hon
or. Their guests included about TWEEN
ty of their married friends, and the af
ternoon was spent most pleasantly
and informally by this congenial par
ty of women After greeting the two
hostesses and the two guests of hon
or the ladies were asked into the libra,
ry, where Mrs. James Taylor served
the punch. After all the ladies had
arrived a very novel guessing contest
was engaged in. Each one was given
a tiny little straw box, in which were
hidden cities of Florida. These let.
tiers had to be put together to form
the names of various Florida cities
and towns. Each box was numbered
and after all the cities had been puz-
zled out they were placed on a large
blackboard in regular order by those
who had guessed them. Mrs. Charles
Rheinauer acted as school, mistress,
and asked questions about the various
places. When all had been written
upon the board it was discovered by
several particularly bright scholars
that the first letters formed an acros-
tic, which spelled the names of the
two honor guests-Georgia Carney
Buena Mimms..
No prizes were given for the guess
ing, but to Mrs. Carney the hostesses
presented a box of pretty handker-
chiefs and to Mrs. Mimms a pretty
jabot.
After this interesting little game
the guests enjoyed pleasant tete-a-
tetes with each other, and the after
noon passed very rapidly and pleas
antly The hostesses served ice
cream, cake and candy, followed by
sandwiches and coffee. They were as
sisted in serving by Mrs. James Tay.

The party of Mrs. Scott and Mrs

was a very lovely little affair and gave
few of their friends a delightful OPP
pOrtunity of bidding them goodbye.

the guests in the hall and little Miss
Agnes Burford showed them the way
to the dressing rooms up stairs. The

ties were Miss Florence Bettman,
Mrs. H. NJ. Hampton, Mrs. B. w.
Mimms and Mrs. Pearson.
AS the guests descended the stairs
punch was served by Mrs. Hampton
and Miss Bettman, after which they
were received in the parlor by Miss
Pearson and the four guests of honor.
Receiving with them were Messrs.
Troy Hall, Phil Robinson, Guy Zewad-
ski and Peter Mcintosh.
There were two tables of dominoes
for Miss Pearson's guests who did not
play cards, and this game was equally
as much enjoyed There were seven
tables of bridge players and for sever
al hours this game proved most enter
tanning to the young people. After
the salad course, with sandwiches,
waters, olives, ETC., half hour or
more was spent most enjoyably with
music, the hostess and several of her
guests singing very sweetly.
The card tables were arranged in
the three lower rooms of the Pearson
home, which has just been most at
tractively done over, and the rooms
were further frightened with huge
bowls of sweet peas and other flow
ers.

MlsslsslPPrs COTTON CROP.
Estimated That the Farmer Realized
About 100000, 600.

Jackson -According to the estimate
of the government census bureau,
Mississipprs cotton ginnlngs up TO
Jan. Is of the current year amounted
to 1,15S.267 bales.
The crop has sold in the state this
year at an average of Is cents per
pound, or SIS per bale.
In fact, if the long staple crop sold
at a much higher price is taken into
consideration-and there is no way al
present of ascertaining the exact pro-
portion of long staple cotton-th.
average will be considerably above STE
per bale.
Beyond any question of doubt, the
cotton crop for the season of 1910-1911
is the most profitable ever given in
the state.
A total of 1,1S5,267 bales at an aver
age Of $75 per bale. gives the money
value of the yield at the enormous
sum of $50, S50,025.
This far exceeds the records OF
