Epuorth League Social.

The young people OF the Methodist
church certainly know how TO have
good social times together. On Friday
evening the Epworth League enter
tanned in honor Of the new students,
and over hundred were In attendance.
The committee on entertainment were
Misses Dora Kraus and Irma Law and
Messrs. Asa johnson, Roy Frey and
Robert Sargent. The games were
cleverly planned and intensely interest
especially the apple contest and
the singing contest. For the former
twelve groups were formed and each
group exploited in poem the merits of
the apple assigned to it; and for the
latter game four groups were formed,
and four songs written and sung before
competent judges. In the apple con-
test there were three prizes awarded as
follow: First, a huge apple pie to
Irma Laws group on the Bell1ower;
second, little apple pie TO Blaine
Sites class on the Golden Russet; third,
no pie at all to Mr.. Smiths crowd. Mr..
Frey's chorus won first place in the
singing contest and were thus given
the first privileges of the punch table.
We append below the prize poem and
the prize song:
Yellow Bell1owers crisp and sweet,
These apples sure are made to eat;
Their satin coats so bright and yellow
Are good enough for any fellow.
We pluck them from the lofty trees,
Famed by the gentle Kansas breeze,
And when baked into apple pies
They cause US all to make goe-goo eyes.

] Resolution unanimously passed to
the effect that your presence is alb

pose to change western route as
agreed upon at Lakeland convention

it is, let her be satisfied. All routes
named should stand as they are.
G. w. SAXON.
| may not fully understand the
purpose of the proposed effort but
upon the fate of the above telegram
it looks as if Jacksonville wants to
cut the balance of the State out of a
good thing. u have no idea that the
Directors OF the Dixie Highway Asso-
citation would stand for any such
scheme to deprive the western and
best part of Florida of the great
privilege that they have worked 50
hard for. AS the routes now are
they form the most beautiful loop
One that comes nearer serving the
whole State than could possibly be
devised. When either route is eli
minated 1t should be done by the
people themselves and will be done
wherever the people do not come up
to the requirements of our Assoca-
ton. They have one year from last
May and should not be disturbed in
the meantime. hope you will he
at Jacksonville and be on your
guard, which | know you will be.

to derive the real benefit from a

the next fair excel every attempt OF
