Special Cor. Ocala Banner:

Mrs. C. L. Lyvers and Mr.. and Mrs.
Nathan Mayo attended the play given
at the Temple theater in Ocala last
Monday night for the benefit of the
Marion County Hospital Association.
Many of the newcomers, lately ar
rived, are anxious to rent cottages
here, and go out to their lands each
day. A few small cottages built here
would be good investment for some
one with idle capital and would pay a
good rate of interest. Town lots are
now selling at a. reasonable price, and
as Summerfield is rapidly growing
property will soon advance. This is
the time to buy and reap the harvest.

There never was happier set of
farmers in any section than those in
this vicinity when last Sunday after

fully an hour. Again at nine o'clock
another steady rain began and last
ed until three o'clock the next morn

Monday morning the great army of
truckers and general farmers living in
this vicinity were out early planting
their seeds, which had been delayed

usual, due to the natural growing con-
ditions of this soil.
