Martin, Mrs. R. A Burford and Mrs.
F.. Van Hood On a pleasant motor trip
to Gambler and Lake Weir. This party
was arranged particularly to visit
Mrs. Bowman at Gambler to make ar
rangements with her to come to
Ocala to organize a class in art Mrs
Bowman is quite a famous artist
having studied in Rome and Paris,
and is interested as owner of a we'll
known art gallery in Champaign, Ill
Several weeks ago she had on display
at the Woman's Club some of her
work and those who saw the pictures
praised them highly. Ocala would be
very fortunate to secure Mrs. Bow

possible for her to accept the propo-
sition. Mrs. Martin is chairman OF
the committee on art of the Woman's
Club, and she is giving much of her
time to developing interest in this
line in Ocala.

centennial anniversary of whose birth, was celebrated g. few days ago. The two were very close and intimate friends. At the funeral services of the poetess Rev. Davenport read the prayer over the body. The prayer was original and was of great beauty. In almost every other line was woven sentence or phrase from Miss Crosby s hymns and poetry.
 Many of Rev. Davenports sermons have been published in the local news papers,
 He was the one who originated the idea of giving a banquet to all the
 clergy of Bridgeport no matter of what creed.
 He is known to the whole city as peaceful abiding man who is always working for the progress and welfare of the community.
 As a message to the people of Bridgeport, MT. Davenport would say, in the joyous event of his 75th birth l day and his many years in their city l After all these years my sympathaes and aims are more than ever for a 1 better Bridgeport. This I believe ! cannot be brought about apart from 1 Christianity, the Christianity which l the church is ordained to represent i The congregation will celebrate the i glad event at the 10:3O o'clock service ! tomorrow.
