Mrs. William Hooker Gives Informal
Tea

Mrs. William Hooker Gives Informal
The tea that Mrs. William Hooker
gave Friday afternoon for the teach
ers Of the three Ocala public schools,
was an exceedingly charming little af-
fair. Mrs. Hooker is member of the
school board, and as there are so
many new teachers this year she gave
this tea for them so that they might
have this opportunity of getting bet
ter acquainted with each other and
with the members of the board, whom
Mrs. Hooker also asked to be her
guests at this tea.
The rooms of the Hooker home were
prettily adorned with red dahlias and
other flowers, and with this delight
full setting and with Mrs. Hooker as
hostess this affair was of course one
of much pleasure to the guests.
Mrs. H. G. Dozier, the wife of a
member of the school board, and Mrs.
Helvenston, chairman of the educa-
tional committee of the Woman's
Club, assisted Mrs. Hooker.
During the afternoon Miss Porter,
director of the high school choruses,
and Mrs. Allie Van Davis, the expires.
sion teacher, entertained the other
guests with number of selections.
Late in the afternoon fruit salad
tea, coffee and waters were served in
the dining room. Mrs. Cassels, wife
of the principal of the high school
and Miss Stevens, principal of the
primary school, poured the tea and
coffee.

THE MARION COUNTY FAIR

The editor of the Tribune has re-
ceived an invitation to attend the
Marion County Fair from November
81 to 30, inclusive, at Ocala.
1t is one of the penalties that one
must pay for being an editor that
cannot get off and attend all the de-
|lightfu1 gatherings of people to which
he is invited. Some day, when we
grow rich, and when we have all these
libel law nets a little more open-mesh-
ed so a paper will not be in danger Of
catching a lawsuit every time the re-
porters make scoop in the news pud-
die, some day we are going to go and
take in all these good things, meet the
people, and build up personal chain
of acquaintances that will be as long,
at least, as any politicians.
From our past knowledge and ex-
periences with the Ocala fair we are
free to say that there is no better fair
held in any county in any state OF this
country than the ones they hold in
Marion county.
Marion is typical mid Florida
county, and its exhibits of produce
from field, forest, mine, and grove, to
say nothing about the livestock which
the country Is so largely interested
in, win be worth seeing by any man.
If the Tribune can contribute to the
success of the Marion County Fair,
the officials have but to let us know

BENEFITS TO BE DERIVED FROM
THE HOME FAIR
Special to the Ocala Banner:

Special to the Ocala Banner:
Eustis, Ia, Nov. 2. 1917.
What wonderful benefits are deriv-
ed from our fairs, and yet how few
of us appreciate them as we should.
We soon become accustomed to them
and take them as matter of course
and let it go at that. Each OF us
should so feel the importance Of our
home fair as to feel 1t our duty to
help in some substantial way. If we
have anything at ali that will do to
exhibit we should feel it our solemn
duty to do so. II we are on a farm
we should plan to take some of our
best produce, no matter OF what sta
pie it may be. Put it in good shape
and have it upon exhibition. II we
live in town we may have splendi4
backyard garden and some very wor-
thy products there; take them along
Then the ladies have very attractive
line, at least to me, in the shape OF
jams, jellies, cakes and edibles of all
kinds Nothing would so attract the
male population elf they could get to
them) as these choice products OF
the kitchen and pantry.
Then the live stock is, or at least
should be. the backbone of the whole
thing The betterment of the live
stock of the country is one of the first
indications that community is get
ting walked up and beginning to see
herself as others see her. Good cat
tie, fine hogs mad fast horses. togeth-
er with building full of fine chick
ems and turkeys, complete the attrac-
tions for drawing the crowd. II would
be mighty tame kind of an affair OF
a flair without crowd" so let's all
go and make it regular place to meet
and gossip, for we do think that this
is one place where 1t is really all
right, and the very thing to do-to
gossip. Gossip about who has raised
the largest potatoes this year. or who
has canned the most and greatest va
riety of fruits and vegetables; who
has the heaviest hog at one year old.
Then the best time to butcher IL for
economy's sake. Let us gossip about
and find out who has raised the fin
est Rhode Island Reds, or White Leg
horns, and has them laying by fair
time
1t is not only a good place to gos-
sip, but it is good place to go IL we
want to secure better stock for our
home use or a finer kind of seed corn.
or more prolific oats. II by spending
a day or two at our county fair we are
able to raise a fourth more to the
acre of some one of our crops for the
next year it certainly will have paid
mighty well, to say nothing of the so
cial enjoyment we got out OF it. We
know that some of US get good deal
wrapped up in ourselves and our own
things, which is all right as far as II
goes, but it win do us a lot OF good
to. cut loose from all this for a time
and see what others are doing. Cut
the puckering string for day and let
ourselves out like the proverbial small
boy. The chances are that we win go
home at night fully aware that there
are others. Also that others have
some things just as good as our long
talked-of best in the world-and per
haps little bit better.
We expect to see you all a. the
0cala fair the last week in November
when we come up to Judge the chick
ems, as we have been doing for q gcoa
many years.
