The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1916-08-21

In honor of Mr.. Morris Smith, who
was here for the weekend, Mrs. d. NJ.
Smith entertained a number of his
friends Saturday evening. Auction
was played in the summer house and
was enjoyed by all. Refreshments
were afterwards served. Mr.. Thomas
Mcclure won first prize, a box of
Nunnally's candy. The guests were
Misses Alice Bullock, Marion and
Hester Dewey, Adele Bittinger and
Messrs. Edward Green, Thomas Nc
CURE and Reginald Hamilton. Mrs.
Smith made a lovely bower, with
flowers, vines and electric lights, of
the summer house, and it proved a
most enjoyable place to spend the
summer evening.
Mr.. and Mrs. S. T. Sistrunk, Mrs.
Emily Green and Mr.. Edwin Green
had a pleasant motor trip to Weirs-
dale Sunday afternoon. They stopped
at Mr.. T. B. Shocks place and ad-
mired, among other things, his mango
trees and guava orchards. Mangoes
are not very numerous in this lati-
tude, but Mr.. Shook is having great
success with them, and has shipped
many boxes of the fruit. He is also
very successful with guavas, and has
shipped great quantities of the fruit
this season. A notable product of Mr..
Shocks place is the olive trees. These
have grown from stock brought from
Europe years ago, and have expanded
into large trees. They are the only
olive trees, so far as the Star knows,
in Marion county. The original stock
was brought over by Major Rock of
Fruitland Park.
Mrs. w. S. Bullock has been quite
sick for several days, but is much bet
ter today.
Miss Marguerite Porter is expected
home from Gainesville this afternoon.
Mrs. Kate Thornton of Birming-
ham, Ala, and Miss Helena Wade of
Jacksonville, will arrive tomorrow to
spend several weeks as the guests of
Mrs. E. A. Osborne at her beautiful
home on Lake Weir avenue. Miss
Wade and her mother will be pleas
antly remembered as guests of Mrs.
Osborne during the last county fair
season, when they made many friends
here.
Miss Luvy Lee Schoefin, who has
been spending the past few months
with her aunt, Mrs. Port v. Leaven-
good at her home on South Sanchez
street, returned to her home in Tam
pa today.
Mr.. and Mrs. Eugene Rivers are
home from weekend visit to Alach-
VA.
Mrs. S. G. Meyers and children and
Miss Meta Jewett are having most
pleasant outing at Saluda, N. C. Mr..
Meyers joined his family from Tulsa,
Okla, last week.
Mrs. r. A. Green left Jacksonville
last week to join Mr.. Green in Him
ois. Mrs. Green has been in attend
ance on her daughter, Mrs. ]. w. An
derson, who has been very i'll, but has
now almost recovered her health.
Mr.. and Mrs. R. E. Yonge, Mr.. and
Mrs. L. E. Yonce and Mrs. Lester
Lucas, who spent week in cottage
at Dayton Beach, returned home yes
terday afternoon. The party went
and returned in Mr.. Yonge's Max
well car and were only seven hours
returning via DeLand and Leesburg.
The automobile is certainly revolu-
tionizer of travel and convenience. In
the old way to go to Daytona, in adj
dition to the expensive railroad fare
for party of five, there were half
a dozen railroad changes and then a
long bus ride across the bridge at
Daytona to the beach and an entire
day was consumed by the trip. Now
an auto party of five to seven can go
in an automobile in from seven to
eight hours, without getting out of
their seats, cool and in comfort, at
cost of less than two dollars for the
trip.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred w. Cook and
children left Saturday afternoon for
two weeks visit to their former home
on the East Coast. They will spend
a portion of the time at West Palm
Beach with Mr.. Cooks parents and
will visit other places between that
city and Miami during their absence.
SO
Mr.. and Mrs. J. P. Galloway are
spending the summer at their farm
just east of Moss Bluff.
Mr.. J. B. Carlisle Jr., manager of
the Dunnellon Supply House, spent
Sunday with his relatives in the city.
Mrs. Carlisle, who is visiting her par
ents at Fort Mccoy, will join her hus-
band i'm Dunnellon in a few days.
