TURNER FARM TURN-UPS

Special Cor to the Ocala Banner:
The weather is still somewhat I'M
settled, but a few signs of springtime
is appearing. Some of the flowers
and other plants that were supposed
TO be dead, are beginning to revive
and we are inclined to believe that
, the freeze was not so severe as sus-
pected.
Mrs. Sylvester Smith and son, Vir-
gil, spent the afternoon shopping in
Lochloosa last Wednesday. We sup
pose the fishermen must have resum-
ed their work, as Vergil returned with
a goodly store of fish.
Mr. L. |. Mitchell has been quite i'll
for the last few days with neuralgia,
but we hope that he will soon be out
again.
Quite a number of our folks attend
ed a musical entertainment at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. w. H. Hardee
of Lochloosa last Saturday night The
music which consisted of an organ,
violin and guitar was greatly enjoyed
by all. Better music than that furnish

After music began to grow tiresome.
parlor games were engaged in for
number of hours. Among those who
attended from Turner Farm were Mr..
and Mrs. J. T. Hall and children and
Miss Lille Mercer(, our progressive

We are glad to report that Mrs. J.
C. Waldron is again able to be out
after being confined to her home for
almost a week
Mr.. T. c. Holden and son of Haw-
thorne, have been business visitors
in our section for the last few days.
They have been leasing timber from
some of our residents and looking
after other interests.
Mrs. j. C. Waldron made combin-
ed business and pleasure trip to
Loochloosa Wednesday.
Mr.. Dempsey Hall and brother, Wes-
ley, were visitors in Turner Farm
Sunday. Dempsey has become a
faithful member of our thriving Sun
day school, proving that our Sunday
school is of interest to others as we'll
as ourselves.
Messrs. Claude and Fielder Wells
and Harvey Waldron attended church
at Orange Creek Sunday night They
say the meeting was we'll attended

pleasantly in Brooksville and saw
more orange trees and oranges than

Brooksville is a very nice town

Standing on the hill where the court

there were any mountains higher than

We decided to mention it in the Ban

brick going north and south we saw
the finest hard surfaced road we ever
saw-almost as level as a floor and
looked like it would never wear out.
There was nothing on these roads
that showed that a vehicle had ever
passed over them. Orange trees furn-
