morning early, white men and colored,
with hoes and rakes began gathering
at the cemetery to clean up and beau
tify the grounds. They worked faith
fully until the noon hour, when the
ladies selected place under a spread
ing oak tree to have dinner, which
consisted of all the good things imag-
Unable. After that important event
was over, the men resumed their work,
while the ladies gathered in groups
and enjoyed social time in a pleas
ant way. Late in the afternoon the
work was completed and all gathered
their tools together, leaving the cem-
etery in good condition, with neat
appearance, showing there had been
no idlers there.
Friday morning the sad news came
that Mrs. Tydings had passed away
and would be laid to rest here by the
side of her husband and son. DR.. j.
M. Gross of Ocala, conducted the SER
vice and made very appropriate ad-
dress.
TWenty-eight years ago the writer
with family landed here from the
far west, strangers in a strange land,
and distinctly remembers the kindness
in both word and deed extended to us
from Mrs. Tydings. Her association
was a benediction; l still remember
the helpful, valuable lessons learned
from her. / wonder if we always ap-
preciate kind words and deeds as we
should. AS personal friend and OBJ
server, think it can truly be said of
her she hath done what she could.
1t seems this has been a time for
Friday morning little Al
ma Hamilton, the three year old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Will Ham
ilton was seriously burned with boil
ing water. The accident was caused
by a pillar under the kitchen giving
way, which caused the kitchen stove
to tilt, the kettle of water, which was
on it, pouring on the child. She was
taken to the hospital Sunday morn
ing, but died at three o'clock in the
She was brought home
in little white casket. The funeral
services were held Monday morning
at the Methodist church, and were
conducted by the pastor, Rev. Rape.
The family has the sympathy of their
friends in this, their sad bereavement.
Last Friday Granvil Priest, the on
ly child of Mr.. and Mrs. John Priest,
who had only recently returned from
the hospital where he had been for
sometime suffering from a broken
thigh, had the misfortune to fall and
break the same thigh again. He was
carried back to the hospital to un-
dergo another painful operation. The
friends of the family deeply sympa-
thize with them.
We are glad to report that the lit

who is also an inmate of the hospital,
having both arms broke, is getting
along nicely.
