Monday night. the young ladies of
the graduating class of the Ocala high
school entertained the young men of
this class and the high school faculty.
The party was called a country
party" and all were requested to
come in costume, the boys wearing
overalls and the girls aprons. In the
decorations the school colors of green
and gold were carried out. The entire
evening was given over to fun, barn
dances and all kinds of games. A
mock wedding was one of the features
of the evening. When refreshment
time came an appetizing menu of
chicken purlo, hot rolls, pickles, etc.
was served in tin pals in true country
style. When the guests took their
leave at late hour they were loud in
their praise of the young ladies as en-
tertainers, and the evenings enter
tainment will be remembered long
after the school days are over.

News of the death of George w.
Grille of Inverness came as a shock to
those in the community in which he
had made his home for some time.

driving a Fordson tractor which was
pulling a number of trailers loaded
with watermelons, when the tractor
suddenly hit ridge, throwing the
front end of the machine up with such
force that it turned completely over
backwards, catching the driver under
one wheel and instantly crushing the
life out of him.
Mr.. Grille originally came from
Akron, Ohio, at which place he spent
his summers, but recently he had pur.
chased property at Inverness and ex.
pected to make it his home. He leaves
wife in Inverness, one brother anG
two sisters in Ohio, who have beer
notified of his tragic death. On hear
ing from these relatives the body viii
be shipped north for interment. George
MacKay & Company have charge Of

CARAWAY CONTINUES
MR.. NICHOLAS is MISSING

Mr.. James Nicholas, the popular
and efficient young telegraph operator,
who has held position with the Ocala
Western Union Office for the last four
years, has been missing since Sunday
night. In their home on Watula street
his wife and baby are mourning for
him-the former almost distracted
and the latter luckily too young to
realize it's loss.
So far as the Star can learn, Mr..
Nicholas gave no intimation to anyone
that he was going to leave. He was
busy and cheerful all day Sunday,
most of the time in the Office, helping
handle the tomato and watermelon
rush, but for some hours at home,
wher he seemed to be happy and con-
tented, playing most of the time with
Jimmy Jr., his bright little boy. He
locked up the Office at midnight and
hasn't been seen since. The Western
Union took in a large sum of money
Sunday, which was in Mr.. Nicholas
possession at night, but it was ali
there Monday morning. He took with
him only a small sum of money and
some instruments, all his own, and a
few clothes beside what he had on. He
left note for his wife, saying every
body was down on him, he wasn't good
enough for her and he did not intend
to return. He evidently left town by
swinging on train as he was not
seen at the ticket office.
His friends think "Jimmy's" absence
is owing to tangled nerves. He has
plenty of friends and had a good po-
sition. Owing to the severe illness last
year of his wife and baby, he was
heavily in debt, but his creditors be-
lieved him honest and were not press
ing him.
James Nicholas is young man
about twenty-five years old, five feet
six inches high, weight 1876 pounds
brown hair and gray eyes. On his
right hand are only two entire fingers
most of the thumb and the two last
fingers being cut off several years
ago. Is a skillful telegraph operator
but not accomplished in any othel
calling.
His wife is suffering greatly from
his absence, weeping and clinging II
their baby. Luckily her mother i!
with her. She refuses to ask for s
warrant, which would enable the off
GERS to trace him. She wants hin
back, but not that way.

that Oxford is the busiest place in the
world. We haven't seen the other
places. There is more than hundred
people working at the packing houses,

sometimes. The crate mill is also
running part of the nights.
There is a crew working on the
curbing for the street to be paved, a
thing that has never been seen in OK
ford since the foundation of the world.
We are still visited by good rains
which are very acceptable, for they
render the weather cool like Shady.

REDUCTIONS IN
FREIGHT RATES
Interstate Commerce Commission Has
Ordered Them Cut Down At
Least Ten Per Cent

Washington, May 24.-(Associated
Press) in freight rates
averaging about ten per cent were or
dered today by the Interstate Com
merce Commission in a decision re-
sulting from its inquiry into the gen
eral rate structure of the nation.
The cut in freight rates is fixed by
the commission at IA per cent in the
eastern territory, 1874 per cent in the
western and 1914 per cent in the
southern and mountain-Pa Pacific terri
tories. All reductions were ordered
effective July 1st and constitute
greater cut than was generally ex-
pected.
The commission in ordering the re-
duction held that the nations rail-
roads were entitled to earn 5h per
cent on the value of their property,
rather than approximately 10 per cent
fixed as reasonable return in the
transportation act of 1920. Transpor-
tation charges on passenger rtavel
and Pullman fares were left unaffect-
ed by today's decision. The rate cut
is horizontal and removes the percent
iage of general increases given all
railroad rates in 1920.
AGRICULTURE UNCHANGED
Agricultural products will not be
affected by today's reduction. The re-
duction of 1914 per cent made in west
ern hay and grain rates lats fall and
the voluntary 10 per cent cut made in
all agricultural products by the rail-
roads January 1st will be substituted
for decision on these commodities.
