AN ELOQUENT ADDRESS
Col. Smith, at the Methodist Church
Last Night, Captivated and In
structed a Large Congregation.

The Methodist church last night
was crowded with people, anxious to
hear Lieut.-Col. Dan Morgan Smith,
who held the attention of his audience
for an hour and half, during which
the only pauses in his speech were
punctuated with applause.
Colonel Smith first gave descrip-
tions of incidents of the great war in
France, in which he was an active
participator, and as probably every
body in his audience had had a rela-
tive and many friends in that great
struggle, the interest of his hearers
can easily be estimated.
Col. Smith is 100 per cent Ameri-
can and thinks his country and the
makes no pretense to conceal his be-
lief, and his line of talk is especially
welcome in this town.
Col. Smith also spoke for law and
order, for Americanism versus boil
shevism and the other isms, and for a
sober country in preference to a
drunken.
After the address, he was kept busy
shaking hands for many minutes. His
own friends and the friends of his
honored father in this city are very
numerous, and his ringing words made
for him friends who had never seen
him before.
His business attended to, Col. Smith
and his wife devoted the remainder of
their time here to the colonel's father,
DIR. D. M. Smith, and their visit, tho
brief, was very enjoyable.
Col and Mrs. Smith left on this
afternoons train for Tampa. 1t is the
hope of their friends that they may
find time some of these days to come
to Ocala and stop for an extended
visit.
