SANTA IN SUMNER WEATHER

How come? No sign of the jolly old
fellow yesterday. Well, he told you
SO. Why? Because he went to the
lake. AS he was passing a certain
schoolhouse in certain village whose
name begins with 20" and is the same
name as that of one of the streets in
Ocala, he saw some of the children,
with their teacher sitting on the green
grass (although It only lacks four
days of Christmas eve) eating their
lunch. So he sent one OF his helpers
to ask them if they would very much
like for Santa Claus to visit their
school that evening. And they said
"Yesv so loud the folks at the postof-
fee must have heard thern Well, well,
well. They had a visit from Santa
all right, and those boys and girls all
like the same kind of things that you
do: dolls and guns, etc. And they
sang one of their pretty songs and
what do you suppose III was? Why,
all about Santa's visit. Wasn't that
appropriate, and very suggestive,
too? And they're all coming up to
Ocala's civic Christmas tree on next
Saturday night just the same as the
boys and girls from all around 0cala.
And you'll be there sure.
How's the singing coming? Do you
know the carols we'll? And you're not
going to get the Group, nor have bad
colds, are you? No, sir We all want
20 be in good shape for singing that
night.
Is there any body or girl who is not
going to hang up his or her stocking
on Christmas eve? J. hope not!
Fathers and mothers are Santa Claus
helpers and so are other relatives and
friends of little children all the world
over, and they surely are going to dc
q whole lot of helping this year in
order that all the kiddiles may have q
sure enough Merry Christmas.
Santa's money man ait the Munroe
& Chambliss Bank, Mr.. Griffin, has
received checks and money which
brought the total up good and high
as you saw in last nights Star, anG
since then:
Mrs. ]. w. Melton ........$ 1.0(
Harvey Clark ........... 2.0t
Mrs. Horne ............ 1.Ot
Mrs. r. A. Burford .......... 1.O(
The new total is S187.25.
The members of the civic commit
tee are happy over the way 0cala'l
people have helped them help SAINT;
Claus, and it looks like they woult
have money enough To buy all the.
need. and maybe they might fin,
enough for just a small quantity o
that parasitic plant called thistle
toe"
