OCCURRENCES AT ORANGE LAKE

Orange Lake, Fla, March Z, 1911
Special Cor. Ocala Banner:
Being impressed with the idea that
you would publish a letter written
by Little Ike" / thought l would
give you an idea of our proceedings
at the lake. We have no millionaires
very close by, but there are some that
act just as though they were, as you
can observe from my skirmish with
an auto. / was overtaken by one, and
the driver didn't even toot his whis-
tie. I made my final escape, however,
by jumping to one side and holding
tight to my little peddling outfit, took
a smite on one cheek by the wind and
turned the other to get it smitten by
the dust. However, to take revenge
on the careless auto drivers, a crew
of some of the good people of and
near Orange Lake equipped them
selves with an outfit of provisions,
prepared by the good women for the
occasion, and all adjusted. themselves
in boats chained one in front of the
other, and led by a gasolene boat in
front, while the echoes of stringed
music, accompanied by the vocal vol
umes of the sacred old hymn. when
the Roll is Called Up Yonder, I'll Be
There" giving to each and every one
that heavenly spirit which overpow-
Eers all thoughts of wickedness. After
the trip across the lake, dinner was
spread, hats were raised, heads bow
ed, hearts turned to God and thanks
delivered by Hon. H. Boynton of Or
ange Lake, and a fish dinner, with all
the accessories was served on Glib
sons island Then the entire group
was photographed by Prof. D. T.
Smith of Orange Lake, and after a
short stroll, all were once more reviv-
ed with that good old song, ''Will there
Be Any Stars in My Crown" Then,
homeward bound, where all were once
more landed with plenty in the bas-
kets for supper. and each and every
one pronounced it a joyful trip.
