Messrs. Higgins and Staunaker of the
Ford agency spent several days this
week in Jacksonville on business.
Mr.. Baisden Mickler of Mickler &
Mcleod was in town Wednesday go
ing over business matter with Mr.. l..
B. Mcleod who, has charge of the
street paving work here.
Mrs. Don Ohlinger returned home
to attend the funeral of Mr.. Ohlinger's
sister, Miss Vesta Ohlinger, last Sun
day. Mrs. Ohlinger went back to
Lakeland Thursday to stay for week
longer with her sister, Mrs. Joe Will
der, who has been i'll for some time
1t is hoped that Mrs. Wilder will be
sufficiently recovered for Mrs. Ohlin-
ger to come home by the first of next
week.
The whole Ridge section wishes to
extend its most sincere sympathy to
Mr.. and Mrs. f. w. Ohlinger and fam
lily in the sad loss of their daughter
and sister, Miss Vesta, whose funeral
took place last Sunday. Miss Vesta
had lived in Haines City for years and
was beloved by all who knew her
sunny and cheerful disposition. She
was at one time in charge of the pub
lie school here and many of the young
folks can remember having Miss
Vesta as their teacher, a memory
which is very pleasant and dear to
them.
The local ball team was feeling in
charitable mood last Thursday and
taking into consideration the fact that
Frostproof had not won a game in so
long that they were seriously consid-
ering dropping out of the Ridge
League, as Avon Park did last week,
the boys donated the game to the
F'rostrpoof team in the hopes that
they would take encouragement and
stay in the fight. The score was 8 to
and the effect created on the visiting
team was all that could be desired as
the Frostproof fans simply went wild
with joy and rent their clothing in.
twain, hurting hats and coats in the
air, straining vocal chords, and crow
ing to such an extent that you would
think they had never lost a game in
their lives and were wishing someone
would make it interesting for them
Our home boys feel that they did not
make the sacrifice in vain and have
the thanks of the entire ridge for be-
ing the means of keeping Frostproof
in the League. Better love hath no
team than they who gave the game
that another might not perish from
the league.
Mickler & McLeLod have finished
claying the street from the bathhouse
to the station. This is indeed good
news to all as many have refrained
from bathing in Lake Tracy because
it was either necessary to put on some
old clothes and wade through the
waist deep sand or hire pair OF
mules to tow their car to the bath
house.
The Young Peoples Christian En-
deavor of the Methodist church gave
chicken pillau Friday night and had
as their guests all the young folks of
the town. The girls were supposed to
bring the boys and the boys were sup
posed to bring the chickens, which
they did, both kinds.
Troop 1, Boy Scouts, will spend
next week, beginning the 9th, at
Flaming Arrow Camp. The boys in
tended to go down two weeks, ago but
it was found necessary to make some
repairs at camp so the trip was post
poned. Mr.. Scott will take the boys
over in his car Monday afternoon,
starting from Leisure Lodge about
2:3O.
