District Gov. Smith With
ocaIa Rotes
Tuesday is the regular day for the
Ocala Rotes to gather, but when they
heard that the popular Eighth District
Gov. Dick Smih OF Atlanta would be
here on Thursday, they readily decid.
ed to wait so they could enjoy talk
| from this popular Rotarian. The la
dies Of the Methodist church were in
charge of the church, and indeed did
themselves proud, as the luncheon
they served was very highly praised.
There was no regular program, just
the usual songs. jokes and talks, and
| a jolly good time was had.
President j. j. Gerig of the Ocala
club. in a short but interesting talk
introduced Rotarian Dick Smith of At
lanta, who is very popular with all
| his fellow club men. He delivered to
them an extremely interesting talk
that will long linger in the minds and
hearts of the Ocala Rotes- The only
regret they had was that his visit to
Ocala could be no longer. SO the beau
ties of our city could be shown to
him.
Dr.. Richardson Honored
Sunday at the Methodist Sunday
school a very touching incident oc-
Cured. Dr. w. NJ. Richardson became
90 years of age that day, and the mem
bers OF his. class, wishing to do honor
to this gentleman, who has lived
among them and been SO faithful, as
a surprise they presented to him an
"easy chair to take the place OF the
one he has been using so many years.
The presentation was made with q
few touching remarks by Rev Crago
At first pr. Richardson was SO over
come that he could not utter his very
grateful thanks and appreciation. but
soon he rallied and gave an interest
| ing and sweet little speech Of accept
ance, which was tinged with a little
sadness.
DR.. and Mrs. Richardson have both
grown old in the service of the Meth,
odist church and Sunday school, and
their fellow workers are. always pleas
ed and delighted when an occasion
arises in which they can show theii
appreciation. Besides the easy chair
/ DR.. Richardson received other small
tokens OF love. which he will ever
cherish and hold dear.
