Thoughts Treasureable

Anyone can carry his burden how
ever heavy, till nightfall. Anyone caH
do his work, however hard, for one
day. Anyone can live sWeetly, pa
tiently, lovingly, purely, till the sun
goes down. And that is all that life
ever really means.-Stevenson.

of blue rights arching welcome signs,
extended the full length of either side
of the square, being caught at reg

palm trees. The monument was drap-
| ed in the Confederate colors and the
band stand and all of the business
firms on the square were deliberately
and effectively decorated. The streets
on the north, east and south sides
were roped off and they were throng-
ed from 7:30 to $50 o'clock with a
crowd estimated at two thousand or
more.
/ A specially selected and prepared
program of music was rendered by
the city's splendid band from the
Iband stand and during the intervals
between selections, the townspeople
and visitors interchanged visits, many
renewing acquaintance of long stand
ling. Dancing on the streets was par
ticipated in by the old and young
alike. The Ocala House, official head
quarters for the reunion, presented
an animated scene, its parlor and
spacious veranda being crowded with
