LIFE AT EAsTLAKE

ID. S. Woodrow made an auto trip on
Monday from Ocala to Woodmar, to
show the beauties of that villa to Mr..
Bowman and Mr.. Partridge who
negotiated the recent successful auc-
ton sale of Magnolia Place. They
were delighted with Woodmar and
the lake.
Mr.. and Mrs. W. A. Gallaher, their
daughter Miss Katherine and their
married daghter Mrs. Lon Adams, are
guests of Capt. John L. Carney on the
west shore. Mr.. Gallaher is one OF
the men of the big affairs in naval
stores in Tampa. They will remain
for about ten days.
Louis r. Chazal has begun the cree
ton of another porch to his commod-
ious Palmetto Cottage at Woodmar.
An acetylene gas machine will also be
installed.
Mr.. Barnes of Atlanta, an extensive
fruit buyer who operates from Florida
to Maine. was the guest of j. G.. Lege
over night on Tuesday. He was &C
companied by Mr.. Murrell of McIn-
tosh, who is Mr. Lege's partner in
fruit and vegetable shipping. They
were particularly interested in an in
spection of the Upham grove at the
foot of the lake.
Mr.. Geo. e. Snow turned in his
packing house force to pack fruit from
tie Brown grove for Mr. Peters, who
bought it with the expectation of ship
ping it in bulk to Leesburg.
H. A. Fausett and daughters oc
cupied their cottage over Sunday.
The rain of Sunday night brought
great rejoicing around the lake. II
dampened the ground to the depth OF
four inches and saved much fruit from
dropping. All the irrigation plants in
the groves had been in operation ex-
cept that of the Carney Investment
Co., and the pumps would have been
started over there on Monday if the
rain had not fallen. More rain is
needed, but the anxious edge is of
for time.
At a porch dance at The Oaks on
Tuesday night the Commodore's cake
presentation to Commodore Goodwin
by Captain and Mrs. Buckley, was cut
and pronounced as fine tasting as it
was handsome. Punch and ice were
served. About go people were pres
ent from all around the lake. The
lake and the weather were perfect,
and the brilliantly Illuminated bunga-
low presented gay spectacle.
A representative of the operating
department of the Coast Line was at
Eastlake recently, laying out the side
track that will be built In front OF
Woodmar by D. S. Woodrow. 1t will
