MUCH GOOD ADVICE
FROM MRS. MO0RHEAD

The Lakeland Telegram of June End
says:
"At the close of the factory pro-
ducts luncheon at the plant of the
Southland Citrus Products Co., yester-
day, a feast of reason followed In
the shape of a general discussion OF
the plans and prospects of the enter
prise. Throughout note of optimism
was dominant and it was evident that
those present were imbued with a
spirit of confidence in the future of
the industry. The first speaker was
Mrs. Caroline Moorhead, representing
the state department of the Florida
Citrus Exchange. She stressed the
point that the beverage produced by
the Southland plant is pure fruit
Juice and that it is not only pala-
table drink but healthful one. She
declared that most cold drinks were,
if not positively harmful, far from
beneficial. She stated that there was
need of educating the people on this
point and that If they could know
/ that the Southland drink combined
healthfulness with its refreshing
/ qualities, the demand for it would be
| great"

PA[ATKA EXPECTS
ENTIRE PENINSULA
To be Represented in the Capital Re-
mOval Meeting to be Held There
On the Thirteenth

Palatka, June 5.-Calling every sec
tion of the peninsula into convention
at Palatka on Tuesday. June 18th,
local headquarters of the Florida
State Association for Capital Remov-
al announces that the executive COM
mittee composed of the president, sec
retary and the presidents selected
by each county will meet at 9 a. m.
and after amending the constitution
and bylaws adjourn to convene in an
afternoon session open to all citizens
interested in the development of the
state.
Peculiar significance is attached to
the wording of the announcement, it is
said, in "that the objects of the as
sociation are not to be further jeop-
ardized by misstatements of any sec
tion, seemingly based either on mis-
understanding or a wilful policy to
offset the growing sentiment through
out Florida to attain the removal of
the capitol to a point satisfactory to
a majority of our citizens, and now
being the time to demand declarations
of an intent to let the people decide,
you are invited to be present at Pa
latka on Tuesday, June 18th, for the
definite organization of this associa-
ton"
Efforts here to obtain an explana-
ton of the meaning of the quoted por-
tion of the announcement were met
with the statement that President
Geo. H. Wilder of Plant City, former
speaker of the legislature, had receiv-
ed reports from several interested
citizens in North and West Florida
that insidious plans were afOot to dl-
vide the increasing sentiment both for
state division and capital removal,
and that in the belief that one of these
was certainty, the president propos-
ed to have "a declaration of principles
embodied in the minutes of the next
meeting to which every loyal citizen
of Florida would subscribe" Inquiry
if "Let the whole people decide" was
to be the adopted slogan was met
with the rejoinder, "You will have to
confer with the president"
1t is said the executive committee
is now composed of thirty represen-
tative counties, and that all indica-
tions point to shot session" Elab-
crate plans for the entertainment of
those attending are being prepared it
is claimed, and competition for the
place of the next convention is already
coming into notice. Because of Palat-
ka's ready access by train to all parts
=, of the state, it is thought the June
18th convention will be considerable
in number.

UNION SERVICES FOR
THE GRADUATES

AS has been the custom for several
years, the Protestant churches of the
city omitted their regular morning
services and united as one congrega-
tion Sunday morning at the Temple
theater, meeting there to listen to the
commencement sermon to the Ocala
high school graduating class, which
was delivered by Rev. W. F. Creson,
of the Presbyterian church.
The children were there and accom-
panying them were their parents and
friends. This years graduating class,
which is one of the largest the school
has ever sent out, occupied the front
lows of seats. The stage, which was
appropriately decorated with ferns
and potted plants, was occupied by
the choruses and the ministers of the
several churches.
The musical program consisted of
choruses, solos and songs by the con-
gregation. The music was directed by
Mrs. Cole, musical director of the
school.
The service opened with the singing
OF a professional, at which time the
graduating class entered, and was
followed by "Come, Thou Almighty
King" sung by the audience. The re-
mainder of the musical program con-
sisted of the following numbers: ::
"Galilee," with the solo part taken
by Miss Ruth Collins, a hymn,
"Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me-" a quartet
number, Lead Us, o Father" a
number by the chorus, "Teach Us to
Pray" and the recessional.
The commencement sermon deliver
ed by Rev. Creson was one of the
finest ever heard in the city. Altho'
short, it was forceful, pointing out
truths in a way that will remain
with those who are just beginning
life's journey. Rev. Creson's text was
taken from Luke, 18th chapter, 18th
verse.
Invocation by Dr. Chas. L. Collins,
reading of the scripture lesson by
Rev. J. j. Neighbour. prayer by Rev.
C. H Trout and benediction by Rev.
C. W. White concluded the order of

DINNER FOR THE VETERANS

The dining room OF the Methodist
church on Saturday was most fitting
ly decorated for the dinner which the
ladies of Dickson Chapter, u. d. c.,
gave on the anniversary of the birth
day of Jefferson Davis. For the past
twenty-six years this has been an an
nual custom of this organization, en-
tertaining the veterans and their
wives. As the ranks have thinned with
passing years the "reminiscences are
longer and as these old comrades
meet together each succeeding June
3rd, there are always the faces of
several who are missing, having joined
their comrades for the last roll call,
but to those who remain this yearly
feast is looked forward to with pleas
ure.
The walls of the dining room were
festooned with red and white bunting,
the colors of the Confederacy, and
here and there were the war flags of
the Confederacy. The long tables,
which groaned under the good things
to eat, were also attractively arrang-
ed and frightened with vases of flow
ers.
The dinner was served at / o'clock
and the guests, besides the veterans
and their wives, were the ministers
of the city and their wives, and it was
with real pleasure that those present
greeted Senator Park Trammell, of
Lakeland, as the special guest of the
day.
In the absence of Mr.. w. E. Nc
Gahagin, commander of the local post,
Col. F. E. Harris, chief of staff, pre-
sided. After the invocation by Rev.
c. W. White dinner was served and
delicious and satisfying meal it was.
General Alfred Aver was asked to-
introduce Senator Trammell, but he
declined, saying that honor belonged
to Colonel Harris, master of eere-
monies In a few graceful and well
chosen words, Col Harris presented
Senator Trammell, who gave most
interesting ten-minute talk.
Col. Harris then read an article on
jefferson Davis which was most ap-
propriate for the occasion of his anni-
versary. Mrs. Susan Sanders, who is
so well known throughout the county
and who in spite of her advanced
years is as bright and alert as many
half her years, played "Dixie," which
was received with great enthusiasm.
Mr.. Kirkpatrick, of Belleview, who
bears his ninety-four years well, was
the oldest veteran present and his
enjoyment of the occasion was as keen
as the youngest present. The follow
ing were among those present: James
Badger, John Pasteur, B. H. Norris,
F. E. Harris, Alfred Aver, j. A. Carl
ton, Adam White, C. C. Priest, Robert
, Frink, L. ]. Beck, ". Il. Folkes, W..
E. Martin, L. NJ. Graham, Henry

Messrs. Trantham, Barron, DeVaney,
