JOHN MEIkLE

This morning when the city learned
of the death of Mr.. John Meikle,
which occurred at 8 o'clock this morn
ing, there was a wave of sadness cast
over the entire community. Mr.. Meikle
was an unpretentious man, but was
one of Ocala's most highly respected,
admired and beloved citizens. He had
been in i'll health for the past year or
so but was a very patient sufferer.
Those who knew him well speak of
him as having been a most devout
Christian, finding places to do good
for others wherever he was. He was
originally from Scotland but Mr..
Meik1e with his wife and daughter,
Miss Eleanor Meikle, have resided in
Ocala for a number of years, and the
friends they have made honor them
with magnifying praises. The city is
in deep sympathy with his survivors
and the profoundest coincidence is eX-
tended to them. The funeral services
will take place tomorrow morning at
10 o'clock from the residence, 717
South 5th street, and interment will
be made in Greenwood cemetery,

OCALA ART EXHIBIT

The Ocala Woman's Club building
will be opened on Friday afternoon
tomorrow at $3.50 o'clock. when the
public will have the opportunity of
seeing the work of the art depart
ment of the club. There have been
ten students during the winter work
ing under the directio nof Mrs. Emma
Bauman, an artist of real ability, who
came to Ocala from her studio in Chi
cago on account of war conditions.
From the cultural viewpoint Mrs.
Bauman's class work has probably
been the best ever done by the women
of the club, and her charming person
ality has won for her many friends.
She is by no means an amateur, but
a genuine artist, who is sincere and
true to herself and her art. For seven
years she studied under the best mas
ters in the art centers of EurOpe.
Ocala is to be congratulated upon the
rare privilege of having had her con-
nected with the club this winter. There
will be a nexhibition of Mrs. Bau-
mans pictures on Friday as well as
the work of her pupils. There will
also be a sale of pictures, Mrs. Bad-
man and each of the art class donating
one, the proceeds of the sale to be
given by the art department towards
the memorial tablet upon which Will
be inscribed the names of Ocala's
heroes in the late war. This tablet of
bronze will be placed on the columns
supporting the art at the entrance of
Victory Way, leading to Tuscawilla
Park. The idea is a very beautiful
one and we hope all Ocala will show
their love for "our boys" and their ap-
probation of the efforts of the women
of the club to memorable them by at
tending en- masse the exercises and by
the purchase of the pictures, so gen.
erously donated by the art depart
ment. Mrs. Bauman and her charm
ing daughter will be present and con-
duct the exhibit. Many of the pic
lures are copies of masterpieces in
art from the galleries of the old world,
some Florida scenes and others Mrs.
Bauman's original work.

DEDICATION EXERCISES
TOMORROW AFTERNOON

Tomorrow afternoon at o'clock
the Woman's Club will dedicate the
memorial avenue, or Victory Way, to
the memory of the services of the men
and women whose stars, crosses and
triangles adorn the Woman's Club
service flag.
The exercises will be in charge of
Mrs. Walter Hood, chairman of the
memorial avenue committee. Mrs.
Hood has prepared a program which
insures splendid occasion. (See pro-
gram elsewhere).
The building of this avenue has
been the special work of the Wom-
ans Club for the year and every eff
fort Of the club has been bent to this
end. While the building of the ave-
nue. has been financed by the entire
club, it has been through the untiring
efforts of Mrs. Walter Hood, chair
man, and Mrs Emily Green, treas
urer, of the memorial avenue commit
tee that the dedication of this avenue
has been made possible. The first
plans for Victory Way were made to-
ward the close of the last club year
and it has been gratifying to all to
watch the development of these plans
throughout the year..
There are many to whom we are
under obligations for their interest
and assistance and to all we extend
our most hearty thanks. Especially
we thank Mr.. Winer and Mr.. Thomas
of the city council and Mr.. J. w. Akin
fo rtheir interest and cooperation;
Mr.. Thompson and the Messrs. Collier
for their thorough and conscientious
work in building the sidewalk and
planting the trees; Mrs. Bennett for
her financial assistance. and DIR. Wal
ter Hood for his faithful interest. The
editors of the Star and the Banner
have been kind in giving US space.
For the development of Tuscawilla
Park we owe our thanks to the chair
man, Mrs. Weihe, for her untiring
work throughout the year, and Mr..
Ffeiffer and Mr.. Boon for lending aid
in this work, and Mr. Israelson for
contributing seats. Many others have
contributed money and assistance and
we thank the none and all and today
the avenue and park stand as they are
entirely free from financial obliga-
tions. Mrs. w. T. Gary,
President Woman's Club.
