self proud last evening. having re-
sponded to the request of the rail- |
roads commercial representatives TO
arrange this special function which |
was complimentary to the buyers and
commission men who have been secur-
ing the tomato. melon and canta-

ocala feels proud Of this gathering.
and especially so that the secretary of
our Board OF Tsade was among the
honored guests. He showed conclusive
~ he was at home among his many
railroad friends and large percent
age of the commission men were well
acquainted with him and his methods
of handling their business during his
three years as agent for the Seaboard
at Plant City, one of the strong fruit
and vegetable points in the earlier
season.
Promptly at p m. the assembled
guests took charge OF the entire din
ing room, Manager Gibson having Sc
cured a number of additional walters
TO assist his usual force of excellent
men in their serving for this occasion.
While it seemed to some considerable
wait before the good things began to
arrive, but when it did start from the
regular tread of the walters to the
steady seemingly scheduled efforts Of
the guests. there was something NOV
ing every minute, either liquid or sta
pie refreshments. The railroad boys
had evidently been grooming for the
occasion, for many second and third
requests were filled"
| The nice little card of the railroad
representatives bearing the following
/ inscription with the names and the
| lines they represented was unique:
