Special Cor. ocala Banner:


Judge L. L. Hopkins and Mr.. John
Hames are delegates to the meeting
of the grand lodge of Masons in jack
sonville this week.
VIII Merrill, wife and two daugh-
tiers, Mildred and Dorothy, and son,
Glen. of Vermont, arrived last Thurs
day to visit their brothers family.
They are so we'll pleased with Florida
that they have bought the building
lots of w. C. Doolittle in the southern
part Of town, and will build a home
and dwell among US.
Mrs. Merrill has been suffering from
bad case Of erysipelas, which came
on while on her way south.
The town was shocked by the sad
news on Monday morning that Mrs.
E. L. Pardon had been picked up in
the yard unconscious. A doctor was
quickly summoned, and all that low
ing hands could do was done for her
relief. She lived until II o'clock, but
did not gain consciousness. Mrs.
Pardon leaves two daughters and a
son, living in Lansing, Mich, who
have the deepest sympathy of the peo-
pie here in their loss. The remains
were embalmed and sent to her home
| for burial. Mrs. Pardon had been with
us almost four months. having been
in the Hotel Marion since December
1st. and she had made many friends
who deeply regret her death. She
was apparently in the best of health
on Sunday. having invited friends to
dinner, and spending a very pleasant
day.
Mr.. and Mrs. W. C. Doolittle are in
Ocala for some time, where Mr.. Doc
little can be near his physician.
Mrs. J. L. Lewis returned on Tues
day from conference in Daytona, and
reported Rev Lane as being sent TO
Zephyrhills for the coming year. Belle
view and Gambler are to have Rev. Ev-
ans. There was a strong petition sent
in for Mr.. Lanes return here, but it
seems that it was not in accordance
with the bishops plans, so We can
only hope the change is for the best.
At the annual meeting of the liter
airy association, held January 18th, the
following officers were elected: Mrs.
E F. Bush, president; Mrs. Mary
Ridge, vice president; L. L. Hopkins,
