CLOSING OF THE ocALA SCHOOL

The Ocala School of Music, CT
which Miss Mary Clayton Conner of

the Temple theater, the younger pu-
pills, assisted by several of the older
ones, giving their concert in the aft
ernoon at four o'clock, and the older
pupils at night at half past eight
o'clock.
Miss Conner has given her pupils
the best she has to give and the best
has come back to her in the splendid
work accomplished by her pupils as
demonstrated at these two recitals
Thursday, and both teacher and pu-
pills were warmly congratulated.
The stage was prettily decorated,
and the young people formed strik-
ingly pretty picture as they sat in
their places on the stage.
