Mr.. Seymour showed the writer the
tract he offered the city for a park

good one when the town grows and a
streetcar line is built. 1t contains
the bed of what was once a very
pretty lake, and it only needs con-

water to make it a lake again. Mr.
Seymour says he will put in the curb
as soon as he can, and if the city
will furnish the water Ocala boys
can have what they would like best
of all things in hot weather, swim

of the finest old Iive-oaks in this ter

and years, the relatives. neighbors
and friends of Grandma Perkins, of
Lynn, gathered at the home of her
son and daughter. Mr.. and Mrs.
John Perkins, on last Thursday. Aug.
eth, to give their annual picnic in
honor CT this grand, noble and Chris
tian woman, who, although she has
reached four score years, is mentally
and physically as strong as most peo-
pie many years younger.
Till Grandpa Perkins passed to the
great beyond, nearly five years ago,
he was complimented in the same
manner on his birthday, June 21st.
These beautiful tokens Of love
speak louder than words of the high
esteem held for this worthy couple
by those who are and have been most
intimately associated with them.
On last Thursday it was, indeed, a
pleasure to see the devotion Of
Grandma's three splendid sons and
daughter and their families, who are
among Marion county's most estim-
able and trustworthy citizens, name
ly: Mr.. and Mrs. John Perkins and
family, Mr.. and Mrs. Ike Perkins and
sons, Mr.. and Mrs. Early Perkins and
