BOAT RACE ON ORANGE LAKE

With ideal weather and amid lots
of noise the spring boat races were
held at Orange Lake landing last
Tuesday before a large crowd of
spectators who lined the bluff that
rises from the waters edge.
Many of the folks from neighboring
towns on the lake were on the ground
early with a picnic dinner. At p.
m. found II boats of every kind, size
and make ready to do battle for the
honors.
All the runs were three laps around
approximately a two miles course.
The boats in the first race-a free
for-all for three h. p. and under cross
ed the starting line we'll punched at
2:15 p. m. The Rigo of Evinston
steadily gained in the lead, crossing
the finishing line with time to spare,
the race for second place was very
close, Johnson, of Island Grove, lead
ing followed in three seconds by the
Willie NJ. of the same place.
The second race-free-for-all three
and half h. p.,and up with eight en-
tries started at $3.50 p. m. This
proved especially exciting. Detroit
of Orange Lake, crossed first, follow
ed in four seconds by Bessie Byrd, of
Mcintosh, while the Gray,of Island
Grove came third.
The third and final, handicap
brought out fourteen entries, well
matched with close results. A tie for
first place and another for third. They
finished as follows: Argo, of Evins-
ton, % min. Is Sec; Detroit, Orange
Lake. 2S min. Is Sec; Wonder, Nc
Intosh, 2S min. "a Sec; Westfall

Island Grove, 20 min. 10 Sec; Gray
Island Grove, 80 min 10 sec.
AS usual there were a good many
breakdowns, ETC.. two boats bending
their propellers just prior to the
races, while one boat load on the way
home broke down and the occupants
did not get home till / a. M, having
spent several awful cold hours on the
lake.
With more interest each season, the
tendency should be towards a boat
club on Orange Lake. All interested
in boats have hoped for it for some
time.
The judges of the races were J. H

The older citizens of this place
were shocked last Tuesday when it
was learned that Mrs. Zelma Turner
of Reddick was dead, and was to be
buried here in the old family burial
ground She was one of the old p1o-
neer neighbors of this section. Her
father, Capt. Hamilton Boyles, moved
here from Georgia way back in the
SOS. She first married Duncan c.
Galbraith, just at the close OF the
civil war, and after his death married
Mr.. David Turner, who also died
some years ago, when she moved to
Kendrick to live with her sister, Miss
NJ A Boyles. Thus the Old-timers
pass out, one by one. She leaves a
host of friends to mourn her death.
There is considerable complaint
among the patrons of the Ocala
Northern railroad about the schedule,
for as it runs now the people do not
have time enough in Ocala to attend
to any business anI return the same
day.
While it has not been severely cold
this winter, the season has been
hard one for stock in the open range,
and quite a number of cattle have
died.
The Masons of this place held one
of their interesting meetings last
Saturday night, exemplifying the
work in the second degree. Several
visitors were present from Citra and
Island Grove, all seemingly enjoying
themselves.
Rev. r. F. Rogers filled his regular
appointment here in the Baptist
church last Sunday.
Mr.. ]. w. Wilson has bought an in
terest in the Dexter turpentine farm
from Mr.. J. B. Baxter, and has moved
his family to thatVplace.
Mr.. c. H. Williams, who sold out
his interest in the naval stores bust
/ ness near Cordele, Ga, last fall, has
accepted position with Mr.. Stuckey,
near Sparr, and will move his family
there.
Mr.. Sam Fl. Martin, our banker
farmer, is making arrangements to
have what he calls pet corn field
this year. We will watch the results
with much interest, as Sam is quite
a successful farmer.
Mr.. Wells Matchett has planted sew
en- acres in snap beans and one acre
in cucumbers as an experiment Sew
eral others have smaller patches
planted.
Mr.. j. S. Grantham has rented the
]. H. LaRue home and moved his fam
lily to town.
Mr.. c. T. Howell has moved his
family to the c. H. Hall home.
Mr.. Henry McQuaig has returned
from Umatilla, and is now working at
Rodman.
Mr.. M. L. McQuaig is eracting a
large store building for Mr.. Shelton
Souter, at Sparr.
A few new settlers are yet coming
in. and settling in different places.
We wish them success.
We have just learned that Mr. Ed
Ben, son of Mr.. and Mrs c. H. Ben.
died this morning and will be buried
this afternoon. Young Mr.. Ben was
bright young man and seemingly
had fine prospect before him. His
father was in Jacksonville and was
wired for. He has a brother in ST
Petersburg, who was also notified.

ing so near Washington's birthday,
his name and life were not forgotten.
In fact everything had a flavor of
George Washington, from the decora-
tons of red, white and blue, to the
games, and much fun was experienced
as we wrestled with Washington Pr"
several kinds of cake, candy and
lemonade were served. 1t being the
birthday of one of the young men
present, Folke Sjoberg, formerly a
resident of the City of Oaks, Mrs. Gale
provided a cake specially in his honor,
and while ordinay cake was being
eaten the lighted candles on the
birthday cake made beautiful cen
terpiece to a room filled with bright
and happy faces. a little later the
candles were removed, the cake cut
and passed around while every one
wished for Folke a long, happy, and
prosperous life. : At a late hour the
guests departed, glad that George
Washington had lived to be bless
ing to his country and that they had
an opportunity to spend so pleasant
an evening in his honor
The friends of Mrs. A. A. Bogart
regret exceedingly to learn of hel
death, which occurred at the home
of her sister in Norton, Kan, on Feb
ruary II. Mrs. Bogart, with her hus
band, came to Belleview over a veal
ago and made their home with theil
sister, Mrs. NJ. J. Ridge, where Mr.
Bogart now is. Mrs. Bogart returned
to her home for visit last summer
and on account of the i'll health of hel
sister decided to remain for the win
ter and be joined by her husband this
spring. She was enjoying the best
of health until ten days before heI

caused her death. Her husband, or

be with her and has the deepest sym
pathy of everyone in his sorrow.

Beautiful Old Women

We occasionally meet a woman
whose old age is as beautiful as the
bloom of youth and we wonder how
it happened. what her secret is. An
exchange gives the following as some
of the reasons and it will be well for
all of US to read them thoughtfully:
She knew how to forget disagree
able things.
She kept her nerves well in hand
and inflicted them on no one.
She mastered the art of saying
pheasant things.
She did not expect too much from
her friends.
She made whatever work came her
way congenial
She retained her illusions. and did
not believe the world wicked and un-
kind
She relieved the miserable and
sympathized with the sorrowful
She never forgot that kind words
and smile cost nothing, but are
priceless to the discouraged
She did unto others as she would
be done by. and now that old age
has come to her. and there is halo
of white hair about her head she is
loved and considered.

RUSSIA LIKES
THE WHITE RIBBON

"A dispatch from Petrograd says:
can order was issued today that
the prohibition of the sale OF vodka
shall he continued Indefinitely after
the war. This order is based on the
tremendously improved condition of
the country since the emperor issued
the edict prohibiting traffic in this
liquor.
Travellers from Southern France
say there is such change in that
region that the country is hardly rec
ognizable. Peasants who before the
war had fallen into hopeless indol-
ence and depravity, already have
emerged into self-respecting citizens.
E4arts which formerly were diIapidat-
ed and allowed to go without repair
are now kept in first class condition.
The towns have never been more
orderly and the peasants indulge in
wholesome amdsements. These peo-
pie now save 50 per cent of their
earnings which formerly was spent
for drink. and they have increased
their earning capacity through So
ibriety.
This startling regeneration of the
peasantry in the opinion of the Rus
sian authorities is likely to have an
important effect on social and eco
nomical conditions of all Russia. a
