Mrs. w. w. Clyatt.
Mrs. Fannie Anthony returned this
morning from visit of some days to
Mrs. w. B. Mcdonald, in Jacksonville.
Mrs. Anthony paid several visits to
the camp at Black Point, where her
son Ned is with the Ocala company,
and she and Mrs. Mcdonald spent
nearly all the day yesterday there.
They witnessed the fourth of July
parade, in which the Ocala boys had a
part, and were proud of their soldier
Ily appearance. The awkward boys
who volunteered only two weeks ago
are keeping their places in the line
with their better trained comrades.
Mrs. Anthony said, with a note of re-
| greet, that there are no Ocala Rifles
any more; that the company is only
known by its letter and number, a cog
in Uncle Sans mighty fighting ma
chine. A hundred and twenty-one of
the men, her boy among them, passed
i all the examinations, and are ready to
go at the call, which may come today
or tomorrow, or any day. Several
others have not done so well, but will
be kept at the camp, and trained for
the next line of troops. Only a few
i failed to pass, and they will be sent
home. George Davis failed to pass,
on account of his eyesight, but while
he had to give up his rife he was
bound to serve, anyhow; so he went
in the hospital corps. Mrs. Anthony
and Mrs. Mcdonald took diner at the
camp yesterday. They ate plain sol
der fare and found that it was very
good. Mrs. Anthony says the Marion
county boys are a healthy, happy
looking set, and one that their home
folks may well be proud of.
