Miss Ada Bumby was again on Mon
day evening hostess at a delightful
party for bridge given in honor OF her
visitor, Miss Alice Bullock, who is re-
ceiving many social courtesies and

flowers, roses predominating, in her
decorations, and she was assisted in
serving the dainty ice course by her
house guest, Miss Bullock.

Frank Guernsey was found to have
made the highest record, and he was
presented with a deck of cards in a
handsome case, and Miss Bullock re
ceived a lovely bowl of cut glass as a
guest prize.

FLoRIDA TAkEs THE Lad

In an article on the Constructive
Work Activity Throughout the
South" showing a wide sweep of in
dustrial activities along many lines,
the Baltimore Manufacturers Record
says that Florida takes the lead.
We believe that our readers will be
pleased with what this wide-awake
and well informed journal has to say
under this head, so we transcribe its
conclusions to our columns:
"Considering population, Florida
takes the lead. This is especially in
teresting, in view of the fact that dur
ing the last decade the population in
Florida increased more than AZ per
cent, against an average of IS per
cent. in all the southern states. Thus,
this heavy movement of population to
Florida finds expression in its great
activity in industrial and development
enterprises, in the building of schools
and churches, and especially in the
establishing of schools, considering its
population, Florida made a greater
showing than any other state in the
south, though, of course, several
states of much larger population ex-
ceeded Florida in actual number of
schools; and yet against the 101
schools for Florida, Kentucky. with
its population of 2,290,000, as against
Florida's 100000, had only 50 school
building items Naturally, with edu-
catiOnal progress as shown in these
items, has gone progress in relig-
ious matters, and the number Of
church building items reported by
Florida is as interesting, when com
pared with what other states are do
ling, as the school-building figures
quoted 1t must, however, be under
stood that where there is a great in
fiux of new population, school and
church buildings of necessity are con
structed in larger numbers in proper
ton to population"

AFTER TwENTY-sIx YEARS

Mr.. William Meredith, who in COM
pany with Mr.. A. A. Velie of Aurora.
Ill. made a vlslr to Ocala twenty-six
years ago, and were so impressed
with our section that both made small
investments out on Orange avenue,
near where Mr. Robert Conner now
resides, had the land cleared and
pIanted to orange trees, which, when
about maturing, were killed in the
great freeze which followed soon aft
ervards. Both gentlemen held on to
their possessions, however, but did
not replant. Ever since which time
the names Of both have adorned our
subscription books and they have
kept up with the drawbacks and
growth of Ocala and vicinity.
Mr.. Meredith, accompanied by his
wife and two sisters. Mrs. Rhodes
and Mrs. Harris, is here on a visit,
and Notwithstanding that he has been
a constant reader of the Banner, he
was not prepared to see the marvel
Gus transformations that have oc-
Cured within these later years.
This morning they will take walk
out on Orange avenue and give their
holdings an inspection.
They expect to remain in Ocala for
some days and will then go to Braden-
town. where they have some interests,
and Will then go to Tampa, and will
leave there for New Orleans at the
time of the Mardi Gras season, where
they will meet a sister, who has been
visiting the orange grove section OF
southern California
Mr. Meredith is hopeful that Presi-
dent Wilson will give US a good ad-
ministration and that the whole coun-
try will become united and prosper
Gus.

Citrus fruit shippers of southern
California, at a meeting with the traf-
fic officers of the Southern Pacific,
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, and
San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake,
last week asked the railroads to come
to their assistance, in view of the de
structiOn of a large part of the crops
by cold weather, by making an emer-
gency reduction in rates on fruit ship
ments to the east and north at once.
in order that a portion of the crop.
which is only slightly damaged. may
be sent to market for what it will
bring. There are now blanket rates
applying to practically all points east
OF the Rocky mountains of S115 per
100 pounds on oranges and 81 on lem
ons. Some of the shippers asked for
a reduction as great as 80 per cent.
The railway men took the position
that the part Of the crop that escaped
the frost could stand the present
rates, and that the portion that has
been damaged should not be shipped
at any price, except under special con-
dition.-Railroad Age-Gazette.

THE NEW TELEPHONE BUILDING

The new building of the Ocala Tel
ephone Company, at the corner OF
Watula street and Broadway, is prac-
tically completed. and is a credit to
the company. The new switch boards
arrived Friday and the company is
now very busy placing them in posi-
ton, and within a few weeks they eX-
pect to have the new plant completely
installed, and expect to give Ocala as
modern and up-to-date service as any
in the country. OF course, the service
during the installing of the new plant
will be more or less impaired, and the
company hopes to make up for any
inconvenience by a far better service
in the future

A GERMAN VILLAGE FOR MARION
COUNTY

In the olden time the plantation OF
DR.. 7. s. Lewis, in what was then
known as the Pennington neighbor-
hood, was regarded as one of the best
in the county.
This paper has often deplored the
fact that that beautiful section OF
country, stretching from Reddick to
Pennington, including the sections
around Mcintosh, Irvine and Fairfield,
could not be colonized instead of some
of the less desirable portions that
have been seized upon for colonial
ton purposes.
Our dream has at last come to pass.
The old Lewis plantation, embracing
twelve hundred and eighty acres, has
been. purchased by German COM
pany, OF which Mr.. Fritz Gloganer is
president, and treasurer. Mr.. Gl0ga-
ner is chief editor of the "Abendport, "
one of the largest and most infuen-
tial German newspapers printed in
Chicago.
Mr.. Thos. A. Verdenius and Mr.. F.
C. Forker left Friday to lay out this
property into a model German vii
lage.
The dwelling cites will all be cen
traIIv located. and the farms will eX-
tend backwards from a common cen
ter.
The Germans have a worldwide
reputation for economy and thrift, and
if they can be located on good land
there will be no doubt about their be
ing successful.
The Lewis plantation, as We have
before stated, is rich and will respond
readily to even a little vexing of the
soil.
We believe that this German village
is the beginning of a new era-a
transformation Of conditions-fo our
county.
Mr.. Verdenius is now located at los
LaSaIle street, Chicago, Ill, and is in
terested in the development OF the
town Of BunneIl, down on the east
coast. He spent several days in
Ocala, and his old friends We're all
glad TO see him.

The one attraction that the public
anticipates even before the announc-
ed coming is THE Smart Set" now
scheduled for the Temple theater on
Friday, January oath. This far-famed
musical comedy organization needs
no introduction here, and coming this
season, headed by the same comedian,
Salem Tut Whitney, acknowledged
to be without a peer, the offering be-
comes one of the real theatrical
events OF the season. The vehicle
used this year will be The Darktown
Politician" and who can fail to con-
jure up the possibilities in a role of
this kind for that capable comedian
Whitney. The Smart Set Company,
with its forty well known players and
Salem Tut Whitney, The Darktown
Politician" in itself is a combination
that will Immediately cause the thea
ter-going public to get ready to laugh.
Filled with genuine humor, with
those jingling melodies that will be
remembered long after the engage
ment. with the capable and experience
ed artists for which this organization
is famous, and an elaborate scenic
equipment and superb costuming, it is
small wonder that this company takes
first place among the musical organi-
cations that tour this territory. Twen-
ty-five song hits, all new, are prom

Der of absolute novelties new to the

in what she calls her civic center
which will cost over a million. and
built on ground valued at a million.
This beautiful structure is built al
most entirely by local subscriptions,

boxes. The enthusiasm was greater
than expected, and there were more

of the situation there were added a
tier of twenty loggias, which were
sold at $4,000 each.
