MEETING OF THE woMAN's CLUB

An interesting meeting of the Wo-
mans Club was held Saturday after
noon in the club rooms, and a good
deal of business was transacted. The
various department chairmen made
reports, and Mrs. William Hooker, for
the club house committee, made the
report for the new building which
was commenced last week. The title
to the land has been entirely cleared,
the deed turned over to the club and
the new plans for the building com
pleted and the contract signed by the
club. So next fall the members OF
the Ocala Woman's Club will be in
their own home, and the October
meeting promises to be one of great
happiness for the Ocala club women,
as they will then have realized their
fondest ambition-a hcme Of their
own
Committees were named to arrange
for the garden fete OH the 10Th.
Mrs. Jack Camp of the education
committee made splendid report,
telling Of the fine condition Of our
schools, and dwelling with a great
deal of pride on the fact that we are
to have two fine new schools by next
fall-the new high school, the new
school in North Ocala, and an addi-
ton built to Howard Academy, our
colored school.
Mrs. Camp then introduced Miss
Nellie Stevens of the primary school,
who made a very fine talk, telling of
the value of medical inspection of our
schools from the standpoint of the
teacher. She made some very fine
points, showing that without question
since we have had medical inspection
at our primary school contagious dis
eases have been largely decreased,
and that the greatest thing being &C
complished is the building up of the
health of the children. Ocala certain
ly should be very proud of her work
along this line, which was brought
about through the Woman's Club.
After the business session ice
cream and cake were served, Mrs. H.
NJ Hampton and Mrs. E. E. Robinson
being the hostesses.

ocALA's BIG FIRE

Col. Mic Barco of Crystal River.
who was in Ocala Tuesday night, in
forms us that the gas works in that
city were destroyed by fire that night,
and the property loss will amount to
at least $4,000. When Hamp Cham
bers cannot prevent fire, great OBJ
stacles are in his way, and on this oc-
casion the principal object seemed to
be the nature of the fire, which event
ually added flames to it. We were In
Crystal River when the big cedar mill
burned down there about eight years
ago, and noted carefully Hamp Cham
bers' maneuvers. If there is any man
in this world capable of controlling a
fire it is Hamp Chambers, but the
Crystal River fire was beyond his con-
troll, as was that of Ocala last Tues
day night. While we in Florida are
continually Dragging about our fine
weather, we cannot be too careful
about fires breaking out-Inverness

Mr.. w. T. Strickland showed us
two return sales of cabbages which
he received Friday. On one shipment
he got fifteen cents less on the car,
on account of delay in the arrival by
day. One shipment brought $47910.
The freight was S3OS.2O; carriage,
$11.50; commissions, $4S.90, leaving
for Mr.. Strickland $111.4O. The car
rier received more than two and a
half times the amount of the grawer-
nearly three times as much. Mr..
Strickland says that it is these things
that make the shipper rebellious, and
ready to lay down and quit. And if
the carrying corporations continue to
pursue this policy it will result in

THE Telegram takes great pleas.

Spencer, of Ocala, has decided to To-
cate in Lakeland, and has formed a
law partnership with Col D. o. Rog-
ers, & Spencer.
Mr.. Spencer has been holding the
position of City attorney of Ocala, and
has won unusual distinction in his
profession. He is not only most ca
pable lawyer, but is also an orator
of unusual ability. During the last
session of the legislature he repre-
sented Marion county with great cred
it, and his stand on legislative mat
tiers, coupled with the ability he dis
played in coping with the situations
that arose, marked him as leader in
the gathering of lawmakers. He is
young, full of energy and enthusiasm,
and is an addition to our citizenship
OF which we may well feel proud He
will move here with his wife and lit
tie son at an early date, having al
ready taken hold of his work as a
member of the firm of Rogers and
Spencer.
Mr. Rogers, the senior member of
the firm has already so firmly estab-
lished himself with the people IF
Lakeland that he needs no words of
introduction or commentator, but we
feel that both he and Mr.. Spencer
have both been fortunate in the selec-
ton of partner, as each has quail
ties that supplement the other, and
will do team work that will brins the
firm to the front rank in the legal
profession.
