MUCH SUCCESS FOR THE MOOSE

On Thursday night, August 14th,
the Moose expect to have a general
celebration. There will be quite a
few new members to initiate and
also there will be refreshments serv-
ed to the old and new members after
the lodge meeting.
The lodge is getting back all the
old members that were behind with
dues and and now it has over $50
members in good standing and
things are beginning to look quite
business like around their club house
on North Magenta street.
Secretary Stapp says that all the
Moose that are not present next
Thursday night will miss the time
of their lives as the goat that they
have has been fed pine cones for the
last three weeks and as they have
some good material in store to work
on it is expected to be the big night
of the season.

AN AUTO ACCIDENT

This morning at 8 o'clock at the
five-mile post on the Lake Weir
road, while going from Ocala to
Coleman, Mr.. J. L. Kimbrough with a
party Of two other men, turned his
big touring car over in the middle of
the road and it rolled over, sideways
ana end for end few times, so that
when it stopped it took an expert to
tell what make of car it had original
ly been. How it happened that no one
was killed is a wonder. Mr.. Kim
brough himself was bruised up bad
ly, and the others slightly so. The
fragments of the car were gathered
up and brought to Ocala by one of
the local garages.
