SHADY

Shady, Sept. b.-Carl Baxley OF Is
tachatta is visiting in Shady for a
few days.
Mr.. and Mrs. George Bull visited
Mrs. Massey at Heidtville Sunday.
Mrs. Martha Coin is in Ocala now
with her daughter, Mrs. Myers, who
is here from Fort Myers to receive
medical treatment. Mrs. Coins many
friends here miss her from the church
services.
Mrs. Christopher Driggers had
what nearly proved to be a fatal &C
cident in town last Saturday, when
her horse became frightened and I'm
manageable. Mrs. Driggers' little
boy was in the buggy with her and
they were both thrown out and both
run over by the buggy and Mrs. Orig
gers was dragged for distance and
her head and face injured and pre-
sents badly swollen appearance yet
Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Douglas en-
tertained few young folks last Fri
day evening at their home. Many
amusing games were played and the
time passed merrily until late hour
when refreshments were served, after
which the guests began leaving
some of them living at distance.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. M. Douglas and
Misses Louise Albertson and Mabel
McLane were pleasant visitors in
Shady Sunday.
Mr.. and Mrs. F. G. Barnes invited
the young people (and some old ones)
to their home to sing Sunday even
ing. A nice crowd gathered early
and enjoyed singing some beautiful
hymns and Sunday school songs. Mrs
Barnes is a good musician and Mr.
Barnes a natural leader of singing
These Sunday evening sings are a
help to the community socially and
religiously.

ing and were much impressed with
our new teacher in her clever, level
headed way of managing such g
bunch of restless youngsters. She
seems to thoroughly understand hel
business and we believe the large
number of patrons present went home
feeling that Shady school has in Miss
Albertson everything desirable in q
teacher.
A well at Shady school has become
a necessity, as the wells where we
have been borrowing water ever since
this school was started have about
gone dry and these good neighbors
are hauling water for their own use
Mr.. S. FL. Christian will now very
soon put down a well for the school.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Bradshaw OF
Miami, who have been visiting Mrs
George Bull, returned home last
week.
III. w. Douglas, who went to Crys-
tai River, Dunnellon and other places
on business, after transacting the
business satisfactorily, cast dull care
to the winds and went to Winter
Haven to visit relatives. These rela,
tives carried him with them on a
camping trip and when tents were
pitched and everything settled for g
good time, the wind arose and the
rain came down and Mr.. Douglas
tent came down, too. Being an old
veteran, he knew how to adapt him
self to that situation. Just ask him
tho what he did the next day when
the motorboat went dead on his party
out on the lake.
We have a proposition to make to
the editor of the Star: Why not in
stitute in your paper a Cats column
wherein you can put all you say
about Cats and those from the ex-
changes too and then the readers will
have the rest of the paper without
any Cats. We are tired of Cats.
