Miss Onie Chazal is entertaining
seven members of the Tuesday auction
club and Mrs. J. Harry Walters this
afternoon. This is the first meeting
Of the club in over two weeks and the
afternoon has been looked forward to
with much pleasure for several days.

Destruction" William Fox's new
picture masterpiece, will be shown at
the Temple today. This drama strikes
at labor's underpayment. 1t is of
present day life and deals with a
beautiful woman whose love of lux
ury, gratifed, plunges thousands of
working mems families into great
poverty and suffering. "Destruction"
is an educational photoplay. We're it
not for the dramatic story woven
throughout the many scenes, it might
pass for one of the greatest indus
trial films, for much of it's action
takes place in one of the largest steel
mills in the country. The beautiful
Theda Bara is of course Ferdinande,
who entangles the mill owner and
also his manager, and induces the lat
ter to reduce the wages of the mill
employees, so she can continue to live
in luxury. CASTOR Bell, the mill
owners son, warns his father of his
beautiful wife's true character, who
disbelieves him. Jack takes a hand
in the mill trouble and has a pretty
romance himself. This picture has
been seen by Ocala people in the
north and they say it is a wonderful
production and Theda Bara's greatest
success.
The many friends of Mr. and Mrs.
j. NJ. Nicely and their three lovely
children will regret to hear they left
today for Rocky Mount, N. c., where
they will reside in the future Mr..
Nicely will be engaged in the insur-
ance business there and their friends
friends wish him prosperity and hope
they will return to Ocala in the near
future.
Mrs. K. M. Brinkly and little
daughter, Catherine, have returned
home after a months stay in Hen
Jacksonville and Saluda, N. c. Little
Catherine who was in the Marion
County Hospital for five weeks before
going to North Carolina, was in the
hospital in Saluda for several weeks,
and her many little friends are glad
to hear she is now greatly improved.
Misses Della and Lillian Livingston
left at noon for Kitchens Mills, N.
c., where they will attend high school
this year. They will make their home
with their uncle and aunt.
