Mrs. w. c. Gray Takes her Departur

Mrs. William c. Gray leaves to-
night for Philadelphia, where she
will visit her sisters before going on
to spend the summer with friends on
the Canadian border. Miss Gray will
remain few weeks longer with rel
atives here.
No other family could be as keen
ly missed from Orlando by as large
a number of warm friends as will
the Bishop and Mrs. Gray and Miss
Emma Gray, for each one of this trio
who for so many years have made
their home here, is deeply beloved.
Mrs. Gray has been untiring in
furthering the Bishops Jealous la
bors, having in addition very full
Diocesan and parochial duties of
her own> as president of the Wo-
mans Auxiliary for this district of
southern Florida, and in other ways.
Aside from all else, she and Miss
Gray have ministered constantly to
the sick, the lonely, the sad, ever
giving sunshine and comfort; their
departure for another home is
great loss not only to the Cathedral
parish, but to our whole town.-Or-

Z Mrs. Stoyall Hurt

Just at dusk yesterday on Watu1a
street between Fort King avenue and
East Broadway. Mrs. NJ. H. StoEall
while driving home, was thrown
violently against the curb by run
away team colliding with her buggy.
Mrs. Stovall sustained a severe blow
on the back of her head and proba-
bly, the only thing that prevented
an ugly wound was the manner in
which her hair was arranged and
her hat. Mrs. B. F. Borden, Mrs. T.
C.. Luckie and Mrs. VI. G. Puryis, eye
witnesses to the accident, and others
rushed to Mrs. Stovall to render as
sistance. She was found uncon-
scious and not until sometime after
being taken home did she regain
consciousness.
The patient spent as comfortable
a night as possible under the cir
cumstances and though dreadfully
shaken up and painfully bruised the
attending physician thinks no COM
plications will set in.
Mrs. Stova1ls accident is causing
much anxiety among her host of
friends and acquaintances who
await with much eagerness any news
of her condition.

BOYS HOLD CARNIVAL

Some of the enterprislng boys of
Las Vegas, following the example of
the recent road show at the Plaza,
have organized a carnival of their
own, with Ferris wheel and merry
go-round, home made and indestruc-
tible, chiefly in evidence. We should
Ike to announce Mile. the lion tanner
and snake charmer, and the wild man
that drinks buckets of blood, and the
wonderful and thrilling and never-to-
be-forgotten aerial gymnasts, and all
the other attractions the boys had ar
ranged for, but because of the wreck
of the dream ship that was bringing
the artists to the city, which cost the
lives of them all, it will be impossible
for them to appear.
Albert Fishburn and Harry Wells
are the carnival managers. Yesterday
was to have been opening day, but the
little kids of the town were so thicl
and troublesome that the start was
postponed until today, when adequate
police protection has been promised.
