which has attached to the occurrence,
because throughout the days rejoic-

MISS MAY PARR

The death angel never bore to the
steps of the great white throne, a
more beautiful spirit than that of
Miss May Parr, who passed away at
her home on East Sixth street yester-
day morning.
Miss May, the daughter of Colonel
anG Mrs. Parr, has passed almost her
whole life in Ocala Always, from
little girlhood she has been a helper.
So busy in doing for father and
mother, sister, invalid brother-in-law
and then two little nieces, whom she
has helped bring up to bright and use
fesI womanheod, she took little time
to think of herself She was never
very strong, and a few weeks ago
steadily increasing illness and weak
ness laid her on her bed to never rise.
Few SO beautifully celebrated "Moth-
er's Day" as Miss May, as she was
greeted by father and mother and
other loved ones at the celestial gate.
The funeral was held at the resi-
dence this morning, and many came to
bid the last farewell to their devoted
and unselfish friend. Rev. c., w.
White officiated, and the wearied body
was laid to its lasting rest in Green
wood. McIver & MacKay had charge
10 fthe arrangements, and closed their
store during the funeral out of re-
spect for the departed, who was a
sister to one of their most efficient
and faithful employees.
Miss Parr was almost a lifetime
member of the Methodist church and
one of the charter members of the
Woman's Club. She leaves her broth
er. Mr.. E. L. Parr, and sister, Mrs. L.
B. Mckenzie, and two young nieces,
Misses Annie Pope and Katie Mae
Eagleton, to whom she has virtually
been a mother, beside other relatives
out of town. And she leaves to all the
fragrant memory of life full of un-
selfish love and usefulness.

NICHOLS-MATEER

The marriage of Mr.. James Lucas
Nichols and Miss Evelyn Louise Ma
teer, which was solemnized yesterday
afternoon at 3 o'clock at the home Of
Mrs. Annie Akin, Rev. W. P. Hines Of
ficiating, will be noted with much cor
dial interest by many friends of both
parties in this city. Although the en-
gagement of this young couple has
never been formally announced, it was
known to few of their closest friends
and suspected by others. The we'd
ding was quiet, simple affair, only
a few friends and relatives being in
vited. The brides mother and broth
er and grandparents from Bushnell
were the only out of town guests.
The young bride never looked love
lier or more WinsOme than she did i'll
her wedding costume which was a
handsome tailored navy blue coat slit
with trimmings of braid and with this
she wore a becoming bonnet made of
georgette with accessories to match,
carrying a huge bouquet of sweet
peas and lilies of the valley.
Mrs. Nichols came to Ocala from
Jamestown, N. D., about Is months
ago and has in that short time made
scores of friends by her marked clev-
erness and pleasant personality. AL
though quite young. she has acquired
a reputation as a fine little business
woman. She was graduate last year
from one of our best business schools,
and has since held a responsible posi-
tion in the county clerks office. Be-
sides being unusually intelligent and
capable, Mrs. Nichols is one of the
most beautiful brunette types that
Ocala has ever claimed. and she de-
serves the love and admiration of all
her many friends.
MIR. Nichols is also new conner to
Ocala, coming here about the same
time his bride took up her residence
with US. He is originally from Geor-
gia. Since living Ocala he has been
connected with the Western Union
and has won the respect and friend
ship of all who know him. Mr.. Mich
OILS has the reputation of being a most
efficient young business man and their
friends prophesy a most successful
life for them.
Mrs. Nichols selected Sunday for
her wedding day as it was Mothers
Day, which was a very sweet and ap-
prOpriate idea.
The young couple left with the
congratulations of friends and rela-
tives over the Seaboard for a short
wedding trip to Jacksonville, Pablo
Beac hand White Springs. At the
latter place they will visit the groom's
relatives for short time, after which
they will return to Ocala to be at
home to their many friends at the
residence of Mrs. Annie Akin, where
attractive apartments have been pre-
pared for them.
