OKLAWAHA VALLEY r. r.
TO BE SOLD ENTIRE
(Palatka News)

Order for publication of notice of
special masters sale of the entire
property of the Oklawaha Valley rail-
road, on December 5, has been re-
ceived here from Special Master F.
r. Hooker, of Ocala, following a mott
fication which it is stated has been
sent to Receiver H. S. Cummings, of
the road, not to issue receivers GER
tifcates with which to pay the taxes
the road is now due the state and
Putnam and Marion counties, amount
ing to $4,000.
This new turn of affairs was a dis
tinct surprise to local business men
who are vitality interested IN having
the road continue operations. Move
ments were on foot to finance the
road, if the bondholders are really
sincere to have it off their hands. 1t
is. known that an offer has been made
for the property to. such of those
who might be in position to dispose
of it, with the consetn of the court.
The notice of sale cites authority of
the special master in chancery grant
ed in a final decree of foreclosure
dated December "a, 1917. 1t includes
all of the rail lire, roadbed and other
! property from the terminus of the
road at Silver Springs to Palatka.
Another notice of sheriff's sale OF
the property previously advertised
consisting of all rolling stock, shops
machinery, ETC., was also renewed ii
a special order from Sheriff Thomas
and will appear in the News at sub
sequent date.
This new turn of affairs is ocn
strued to mean that the owners, th'
bondholders, wish to regain control O
the road through a sale which will en-
able them to dismiss the receiver
take over the property and junk II
The situation has reached that stag
where it is openly stated that certain
interests wish the road junked an
, abandoned and that these interest
. are willing to reimburse the bond
holders, to some extent. for thei
losses. 1t is beyond reason, it
pointed out, that under forced sal
that the bondholders can hope to II
ce:ve a sufficient amount of money
{ pay all of the roads Indebtedness an
5 have a sufficient amoutn left to rein
e burse, to any extent, the holders
4 the bonds.
5 It was stated last night that und'
: the special masters sale the ros
e could only be sold as "going CO.
Germ" In other words, that it wou
be sold with the understanding tn
the road must still operate and CO
form to all requirements of the Inte
state Commerce Commission. 1t
altogether probable that determin
tfph. viii be launched at once to pl
vent the final iunking of the road.

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
Sexton on Saturday evening was the
scene of a jolly Halloween party.
About forty-five girls and boys were
included in the list and care in cos
tune. The following acted as hos
tesses and gave their friends a happy
evening: Misses Martha Preer, Noel
Blankenship; Babette Peyser, Frances
Clark, Frances Drake, Margaret
Hooker, Mamie Sue Spencer, Lucille
Horne and Lucretia Hooker. The
large roomy porch was decorated with
Halloween eolors, black cats, pump
kins and witches and the evening was
scent in all kinds of Halloween
games, carrying peanuts on knife,
bobbing for apples, etc. Dancing by
victrola music also passed only too
quickly the happy hours away. Dur
ing the evening refreshments were
served, punch, cake, apples, peanuts
and chewing gum, which seemed to
further carry out the Halloween idea,
The young ladies who acted as hos
tesses certainly proved themselves
efficient in the art of giving then
guests a good time, and this party
will be remembered as one OF the
gayets and jolliest of the season

DEFEATED AT DELAND
But Our Football Team Gave the
VictOrs a Hard Battle

The phenomenal drop kicking of
Tatum of DeLand was too much for
the boys from Ocala after taking the
100-mile ride over rough roads. The
game was the best seen in high school
circles this year. The 0cala team
was the stronger when it came to
straight football but lost out when
DeLand used drop kicks from the
field. DeLand used more forward
passes than did Ocala but neither
team was very successful with the
aerial attack because of the strong
defensive of their opponents.
Smith of the Ocala team starred
throughout the part of the game he
played. He was taken out at the end
Of the first half because he was sick.
At the beginning of the last quarter
he went back in and was playing
wonderful ball until he was knocked
out when tackled around the neck by
Tatum. Smith came near having a
serious accident. He suffered slight
conclusion of the spine and was car
ried to the hospital unconscious and
remained in a dazed condition for
about three hours. AS long as he
was in the game Smith made his usu-
al long gains around the ends and
thru the line and also got away with
lateral pass for As yards.
Ocala's line held like a stone wall.
In picking an individual star it is like
asking a military company for vol
unteers to step forward and then
giving the command Company halt.
The backs were fast on their get
away and hit the opposing line like
battering rams. Rawls was especially
strong in the line plunges, always
making a good gain. Knight shone
on end runs. Quarterback Williams
showed good generalship of the team
and selected the plays well.
Ocala feels confident that it vii
