In no way has F1orala shown greater
progress and development, than in the
interest manifested in music for the
past year.
Its citizens realizing that one culture
inevitably leads to- another and that
nothing has a greater influence than
music in raising the standard of a
community, have by their encourage
ment and interest, assisted in organiz-
ing two splendid musical clubs, both of
which have proven to be source of
much pleasure and inspiration.
The first society was formed last
October, and at present has member
ship of fifty, and is known as the
F1orala Symphony Club.
The principle line of study has been
chorus music. Among some of the

The Civic League of F1orala was or
ganized one year ago, and since that
time the ladies have been doing good
work, not only has the league been
doing civic work. but along other lines,
and for the uplifting of the whole COM

Some of the good things done by the
league the past year was in making
a liberal donation toward the Chau-
tauqua, which is a blessing to any
town: and every session of Chautau-
qua we have had has been splendid.
We have also built sidewalks and

THE PATH OF
JUNE IS A BIG
DAY IN F[ORALA
ST. JOHNS DAY OBSERVED BY
THOUSANDS EACH YEAR AS
GUESTS OF OLDEST MASONIC
LODGE OF THE SECTION, LAKE
CITY NO. 377.y

One OF the big days" of the year in
Florala is st. Johns Day, observed by
the Masonic order on June oath the
world over
Each year as the date rolls around,
from two to six thousand people con-
gregate in the woodland of East Flo
rala, known as Manning Grove where
the pioneer Lake City Masonic Lodge
was established In the year of 1873.
This lodge is the oldest in the sec
ton. and each year thousands have
formed the habit of paying it just
tribute by holding an elaborate out
of-door festival where the officers of
the old lodge were actually installed
so many years ago.
An Old Landmark.
Lake City Lodge originated as far
back as 1859 at Chapel Hill. obtained
dispensation, and held regular ses-
sions for the short time intervening
between that time and the beginning
of the Civil war.
The monthly meetings were attended
by enthusiastic Masons, many of whom
came from distance of fourty or fifty
miles to these sessions.
When the war ended, the lodge which
had gone to pieces, was reorganized in
1857. and in 1873 the lodge moved
to F1orala, called at that time, INC
Dade's Pond and from that date. an
nuai observances have regularly oc-
cured in the old spot favored by Cow
ington County Pioneer Masons.
The old home of Lake City No. 377,
has been destroyed, but the magnificent
trees which form the time honored
grove still remain to greet the faith
full ones each year, this year. by the
way, to be greater and further reach
ing in it's interest than ever before.
Among the members of the Lake
City lodge of 1873, who still survive
as honored citizens of the Florala sec
ton, are, w. J. D. Cawthon, L. D.
Jordan, W. L. Hurst Alex McSwain,

items of added interest, with the result
that Florala will doubtless see one of
the greatest days in her history.

FLORALA HAS A
CHAUTAUQUA
ASSOCIATION
HAS ALREADY HAD FIVE Sue
cESSFUL ANNUAL ASSEMBLIES,
WITH FINE RESULTS ALL
AROUND.

A Chautauqua town is, unfailin ely,
a good town in which to settle, because
a community that will support Chau-
tauqua Association needs very little
other recommendation If you are TAX
educational atmosphere to prevail in
your future home.
This year the fifth annual session OF
the Interstate Chautauqua Association,
at F1orala, proved a more successful
undertaking from every essential
standpoint, and come out ahead" too,
by the way, If base finances" are to
be here considered.
Every one took an interest in the
nne movement and bought season
tickets, the ladies helping most ad-
mirably in the good work.
Every one had guest or two for the
occasion. and Florala's noted hospi-
tally was enjoyed by people for miles
around.
There were more guests, more gen
eral satisfaction, better program and
better financial results than ever be-
fore, which, when you think of it, Is
a pretty good record to make.
Florala has every reason to be proud
OF the fact that she Is a Chautauqua
town, all right--and she Is
j. Z. Hughes, President.
J. e. Hughes is president Of Flo
rala's Chautauqua, and r. K. Council
is secretary.
Every one cooperate, and the fine
little auditorium, which cverlooks Lake
Jackson and it's native woodland, is a
joy to all beho1derS
It has a good seating capacity, it's
acoustics are good, and, well-it suits
F1orala and every one who comes.
Taking it all in all, you will not find
many Chautauqua Association located
In the smaller towns that are in any
better shape than is the case at Flo
rala.
The work of the Chautauqua Is edu-
cational in it's scope, for the masses
there are popular lectures, concerts,
entertainments; for some there are
philosophical, scientific, and literary
lectures in progressive courses, and for
the comparative few there are means
provided for careful study under able
and well-known instructors.
The Chautauqua movement, as every
body knows, Is one of the greatest
moral and educational forces in the
country, and F9orala is to be very sim
cerelw congratulated upon the very fact
that bhe is already pleasantly known
as a sChautauqua city"

sanitary condition; we all want F1ozala
to be a City Beautiful"
Mrs. n. Bowers has been acting as
president the past year and it is
through her untiring energy that much
OF the good work may be credited and
she has filled the position well in
every respect.
Every citizen of FIorala always re-
spends literally to any call from the
league for aid in the work, and by our
earnest work we hope many may be
brought TO F1orala from a standpoint
of health and beauty.

ture that has had more to do with
the social life in Florala is the Glee
Club-as its name impJies-a lighter
vein of songs have been used.
The G1ee Club consists of twenty en-
thusiastic music lovers.
They sang at both the F7orala and
Florida Chautauquas this season and
have been requested by those in au-
thority to appear on next years pro-
gram.
FTora1a has had the best music of
year in its ~history-music is taught
in the city school and this past year
has been one of unequaled success.
Florala purposes to become the must
cal center for this section of the
state.

the clubs in the early fall and plans
are now being made to give the ora

The department of agriculture in

employed 4 goodly number of colored

extend over Alabama, Mississippi and
Louisiana, has recently finished tour
of Mississippi, in which state he held
farmers conferences. Leading farm
ers who attended those conferences
have written letters highly indorsing
the work.
As an illustration of the growth and
intelligence of colored farmers and the
part they play in the advancement
of the south it should be borne in
mind that they have organized hun
dreds of farmers conferences and sew

NOTES OF THE ZION BAPTIST
CHURCH..

The terrible cold last Sunday had a
very serious effect upon the attend
ance while the morning crowd was
fair, the faithful failed to put in ap-
pearance in the evening. The most
regretable feature was the fact that
DR.. Ford, former pastor, delivered the
evening sermon, which was heard by
a very small audience. Had 1t not
been for the extreme weather no
doubt there would have been a great
outpouring of old friends to greet Bro.
Ford.
The small attendance also greatly
hampered the clerk, who was anxious
TO have gotten the envelopes into the
hands of all those who had sub
scribed and to have gotten the sub
scriptions of those who have been a
little slow. 1t is hoped that today
every subscription card will be hand
ed in, so there will be little delay in
preparing for the years finance.
This Sunday begins our serious
work for the year 1913. The pastor
will preach from the subject, Chris
ton Fellowship" text, Eph. 4:32.
Looking back over the past year
there are many evidences of growth
in the church in this grace, and to
this condition is largely due the bless
edness which the Master has be-
slowed upon our work.
at the evening service the choir
will render. sacred concert, for
which it has been preparing for some
weeks. There is no doubt as to the
quality of this programme. The de-
votional element which SO rightly char
acterizes the concert of our choir will
not be lacking.
At the evening service tomorrow
the choir will render the following
