There is some misunderstanding
as to the date Of Thanksgiving this
year, owing to the fact that there
are five Thursdays in the month.
President Taft, however, has fixed
Nov. 3Oth as the date for the de-
molition of turkey, and If there
had been any lingering doubt about
the matter, our own Gilchrist has
settled it by endorsing Mr.. Taft's
selection.

DELIGHTFUL PICNIC AT SILVER
SPRINGS

Wednesday Mrs. Louis P. Converse
entertained about a dozen Of her
friends with an all-day picnic at Silver
Springs and on the river. The special
guest of the day was Miss Hattie Lou
Dickinson Of Madison, who is the pref
ty and attractive guest of her sister
Mrs. S. R. Whaley
The day was a sperfect and rare as
a day in June, and this jolly picnic
crowd enjoyed the day 10 the fullest.
They went as far down the run as
Conner, going in Mr.. Smoak's launch
the Louie Warren, and after a visit to
Mr. Randalls famous orange grove
they enjoyed a magnificent picnic
lunch. and spent the afternoon very
happily on the river.
The trip to and from the springs
was made in automobiles, and was ex
ceedingly pleasant.

A POINTER FOR OUR FAIR

Someone proposed some time ago
that a portion Of our fair grounds be
converted into an experimental farm.
SO thta the visitors at the next open
ing of the fair could see with their
own eyes the products growing on our
soil It was suggested 70 have the
grounds thoroughly cultivated, richly
fortified and superintended by the
best farmers in the county. and have
the crops in the very best possible
shape
We see by a letter from London
that such a scheme is proposed for
the next Crystal Palace Exposition
The letter says:
1T has been arranged that a section
Of the grounds devoted to the Festival
of Empire at the Crystal Palace will
be given to showing English farm life
on a unitarian basis This is intend
ed to form practical lesson to the
small farmer Several acres Of land
are to be laid out, and the work is to
be under the supervision Of expert
enced agriculturists. 1t is intended to
show how the utmost good can be got
ten out of a very small holding A lit
tie farm house will be built, inexpen-
sively, to hold a small family. An or
chard will be planted with many kinds
of trees. and here instruction will be
given in grating, pruning and spray
ing The poultry division is to be on
very extensive lines. and seems likely
to prove to be the largest exhibition
of poultry ever organized on utilita-
rian lines"

MRS. JAMES HARDY PITTMAN
DEAD

The announcement Of the death OF
Mrs. James Hardy Pittman OF Jack
sonviUe will be learned with profound
sorrow by the many Ocala friends of
this lovely and lovable young woman.
Her death occurred at a sanitarium at
HendersonvIle, y. c., at one o'clock
Friday afternoon, the cause of her
death beng tuberculosis, from which
she had been a sufferer for several
years Everything possible had been
done for Mrs. Pittman in an effort to
ward off this dread disease, but to no
avail as it had fastened its fangs
-pon her and II was impossible to save
her life.
Before her marriage about ten
years ago to DR.. Pittman, who was an
Ocala boy, she was Miss Myrtice Ca
SCI Ct Marietta, Ga, and visited her
brotLer. Nj. Walter Cason( now of At
lanta) in this city several times, and
since her marriage she has often Wis
tied her husbands relatives here.
Young and beautiful, with a prominent
young husband and two lovely little
girls. Mrs. Pittman had much TO live
for and her death is very sad.
The funeral of Mrs. Pittman was
held Sunday afternoon in Jackson
vile. which city has been her home
during her married life.

DEATH OF REV. CHARLES M.
GRAY

Again it is our sad duty to chroni
Gle the death of a man who was great
ly loved in this city. having been for
nine years or more a citizen of Ocala.
Rev Charles NJ. Gray passed away at
the rectory at St. Petersburg Satur-
day morning at five o'clock.
Mr. Gray was IN his 62nd year. and
up until a few months ago was hale
and hearty, and the news of his
death came as a severe shock to his
friends here.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gray were both the
guests of friends in Ocala in January,
during the Episcopal convocation,
and although Mr.. Gray was sick dur
ing most of his stay here, and had
been sick for some time before com
ing to Ocala, his illness was not re-
garded as serious.
Mr.. Gray was a Tennesseean by
birth, but had lived in Florida for
nearly twenty years. He was rector
of Grace church in Ocala for about
nine years, and for the past ten years
has been the rector at St. Peters
burg, where he was immensely popu-
lar. He was a brother of the Rt. Rev.
William Crane Gray, bishop of the
southern diocese of Florida.
The deceased was married some
thirty odd years ago to Miss Clara
Polk His wife, two sons, Messrs.
Arthur and Charles Gray, and two
daughters, Misses Clara and Ophelia
Gray, survive him. One son, his old
est, Mr.. Quintard Gray, died several
years ago. He was the uncle of Rev.
Campbell Gray of this city
The death of Mr. Gray has cast a
gloom over st. Petersburg, and is
learned here with the most profound
sorrow.

Major Thomas c. Hall has purchas
ed the Abe Brown place, at the corner
of South Fifth street and Lake Weir
avenue, which will be his future home
The transaction has not been con
Guided but the papers are now on the
way to Mr. Brown for his signature
The Brown place consists of a very
beautiful lot of over an acre, and a
handsome home, and the Hall family
are to be congratulated on their pur-
chase
Mrs. Hall and Miss Beulah Hall are
now at St. Augustine, and will prob
ably be away all summer. They have
given up the residence that they have
been occupying for several months on
Oklawaha avenue, and have stored
their furniture at the Brown place
until Mrs. Halls return.
We have not ascertained where Mr.
Billingsley and family viii reside in
the future but will probably remain
where they are for the summer
months.
