fractions last night.
Capt Richard Pierson Hobsun at the
Methodist church spoke to 2 crowded
housea fine picture at the Temple
and the Fisk Jubilee Singers at the
MaceO
The Jubilee Singers have won ma
ton wide celebrity and have visited
Ocala before and left wonderfully

AT each place was found some sort
OF noise-maker. so when there were
no talks being made, or any mu-
sic, these little noise-makers were in
evidence, so really there was never
a quiet moment during the entire ev-
ening.
The program was a very diversified
one. but one of much interest. Many
jokes were played on different men,
bers. but the one that brought down
the house was that of selling the
clothes right off the back of the pres
ident. who was quite bit in arrears
in the payment of his dues. His coat,
vest and pants were auctioned off and
sold to the highest bidder.
Two very talented ladies gave very
delightful readings, which were much
enjoyed Mrs. Fred Hooker, who has
often delighted Ocala people by her
clever readings, gave Lucky Jim,' =
and Miss Hettie Johnson of Ken
tucky. who is the guest of her broth
er, Glenn Johnson. also gave a num-
Der of selections which were highly
appreciated. This was. her first ap-
pearance before an ,Ocala audience,
and she viii no doubt be very much
in demand during her visit 10 our
city.
President Borland gave short
sketcDNof the history Of Rotary. which
was followed by the singing of Ro-
tary song. led by Albert Gerig.
Mrs. Wells and Mr. Eddie Arm
strong. both of Belleyiew, who have
so often favored US with their de-
lightful songs. which are always fun
OF pep and character, were the next
on the program. and they. like the
club. won for themselves new lau-
rels. So much were their songs en-
ioyed that they were compelled 10 re-
spond TO encores.
Next the chairman introduced to
the club one OF ocala's silver tonguea
orators. who proved 10 be none ether
than that favor:se. Judge w. S. Bul.
lock. who was given the subject,
"reminiscences of Ocala." He han.
died this subject with perfect ease
and grace The only fault to find
was that he was unable to go back far
ercuga. He only told of the happen.
ings Of the past fifty years, and said
that was his limit He brought ont
many Of the wonderful advaneements
that ocala has made in the past years
since his advent into our city. He
drew many word pictures, all show.

Ladies' Night Big Success

ing how rapidly we are pushing to the
front. His talk was interspersed
with many witticisms and jokes that
produced much merriment. He told
us that Ocala's birthday was on the
goth day of February: that she was
born in the year 1916, and since that
time had outgrown her swaddling
clothes in a very rapid manner. This
talk was full of so many things of in
terest that we regret that it could not
be given in full.
Next cane the drawing of the priz-
es. each lady receiving a lovely gift
from some Rotarian. This was fol-
lowed by a song, and then the. singing
or America by the club members, who
were ably assisted by their lady
guests, thus bringing to close an
other perfect evening given by our
Rotary Club.

ioyable affair were Rotarian j. H.

STATE BOARD OF HEALTH TO
LAUNCH CRUSADE AGAINST
SMALL POX

Jacksonville, Fla, March %, 1922.
To the Ocala Banner:
The State Board of Health expects
soon to launch an educational pro-
gram for vaccination against small
pox. A motion picture film dealing
with this subject has just been secur-
ed and as soon as a pogram and itin-
erary can be worked out will be sent
to all of the larger centers of the
state. A lecturer will make talks in
connection with the display of the
picture.
The very virulent and deadly type
of smallpox that has recently pre-
vailed in some sections of the coun-
try is arousing renewed interest in
vaccination, the only known method
of preventing the disease.
