B. Bevis’ father, Mr. Abel, is seriously ill at the home of Mrs. Bevis on South Florida avenue, He was unconscious for a part of the time yesterday, but we are glad to Jearn that while he is still quite sick, he is better than he was yes- terday. It was reported yesterday that he sustained a stroke of paraly- sis, but thig proved to be not the case. LCRSO GR Mr. Don McDonald was operated on yesterday morning for appendi- citis by Drs. Maynard, Richards and sullivan, and is reported to be get- ting along nicely. He was stricken suddenly, and it was found neces- sary to operate at once. His many friends hope for his early and com- plete recovery. Rev. D, B. Sweat, former editoy of the Florida Methodist Advocate, and at the present time pastor of the Bradentown Methodist church, was in Lakeland for several hours this morning shaking hands with his many friends anq attending to busi- ness. He reports Mrs. Sweai as jmproving nicely since her recent operation. Rev. Edgar Wilson left this morn- ing for Cuthbert, Ga., where he has been invited to deliver the bacca- laureate sermon before the Andrew Female College. State Superintend- ent Sheats will deliver the literary address, and with two such able Florida speakers, the commence- ment exercises of that institution will be a grand success indeed. Secretary A. J. Holworthy, of the Board of Trade and a number of prominent Exchange members, went up to Bustis this morning to attend the meeting of the Citrus Growers, which convenes there today. The delegation was headed by the Lake- lang Military Band, and we known that the crowd will know that Lake- land is on the map when the Lake- lang bunch reaches the scene. There was a run today, not on the First National Bank, but on the art department which Cashier Clay- ton maintains in the directors’ room, and where his many friends have hag the opportunity of viewing the Dicture of the negro angel he re- | cently purchased.

While none of my im- mediate family are buried (ln\r;), the old family burying ground being ouly a few mileg north, yet 1 often 80 there in an effort to help others, ang it is a source of pleasure to me, a8 I am sure it is to a 11 who visit there regularly, and who cannot but note the almost marveloys changes made quring the past few months that the good ladies have taken this work in hand, and propose to the ex- tent of their ability to ke ep this city of the dead in keeping with the }:en-- eral up-to-dateness of our city and section. speak To care for the resting place of our dead relatives and friends of those who can no longer give care themselves it is not only a duty, but should be a pleasure. The u-m;\» tery shoulq be the beauty spot of ev- ery community and 1 people, worthy and am sure our generous as they are in all Will not long suffer these gooq women, who give so much time to this work, to bhe put to the necessity of causes, practically begging for funds with which to carry on this work. The initiation fee to this as- sociation is only $1 with ten cents per month dues, making the burden extremely light on any one person, and yet only about fifty of our peo- ple are members, due no doubt very largely to the lack of understanding of the needs of the situation. At least several hundred of our people should become I believe they will Mrs. J. L. Skipper is president, Mrs. Clarence Perry, secretary, and Mrs. T. J. Darracott treasurer, any one of whom will be glag to take yYour name as a member. Let us use our telephones in a hurry until we have given this association sufficient funds to carry on their noble work, which funds 1 am sure will be ex- pended wisely D. H. SLOAN members at once, and TRAIN NO. 85 HAD A WRECK NEAR HAINES CITY TAST NIGHT Last night passenger train No. 87, Jacksonville to Tampa, had a wreck near Haines City, the first coach leaving the tracks and run- ning for a distance of about twenty {car lengths on the cross-ties before the train was stopped. No one was injured, which seems nothing short of miraculous The accident is said to be due to an oil box falling down and catch- ing in the rails, waich caused the car to jump the tracks. The wreck- er went up to the scene and the be- lated train came in only three hours late The school board election held to day, in which three members of the ; board were selected for the coming year, caused no undue riffle in the political atmosphere, as, up until 3:15 this afternoon only fifteen votes had been cast ang half were invited up to the polls of these by the inspectors, Who were about to u) to sleep for lack of something to do.

Of their reas- ons for removal, anq the strong ef- fort Ocala is making to retain the industry, we take the following from the report of a recent council meet- ing held in Ocala, which is published in the Ocala Star of Wednesday: “Mr. George MacKay having ar- rived late, Mr. Robinson asked that the rules be suspendeq and Mr. Mac- Kay be requested to address the council on the matter of continuing the Ocala Iron Works here or mov- ing the plant to another point. Mr. MacKay said he could only talk in- formally, as the stockholders had Inot yet helg a meeting, but he could say that they were considering re- imoving from Ocala to get nearer the tphosphate field, with quicker and cheaper freight rates; that the mat- ter of taxes had not been discussed, but naturally it -vould have some bearing on the decision of the stock- holders. Mr. Roess stated that he Wwas at Dunnellon a few days since and learned that they would make a strong effort to have the Ocala Iron Works established there. Mr. Rob- inson stated that he woulq like to offer a resolution along the line of tax exemption for the Ocala Iron Works The following resolution was offered by Mr. Robinson and unanimously passeq on roll call: Robinson’s Resolution “Whereas, it is understood that the Ocala ‘Iron Works is contemplating the removal of its plant from Ocala to some other point; and, “Whereas, It is the earnest desire "of this council to in every way pro- mote the location of manufacturing and other industries in the city; therefore be it “Resolved, That under the pro- vision of chapter 4089, section 12, acts of the Legislature of 1905, this do remit to the said Ocala Iron Works such real and personal taxes as may legally be assessed against the real and personal prop- erty belonging to the said Ocala Iron Works for a period of ten I'years, provided, however, that such remittance of taxes shall apply only {to the property actually used by the saig Ocala Tron Works in connection with its regular foundry and ma- {chine business; and, provideq fur- ther, that such remittance of taxes shall cease anq terminate should the said Ocala Iron Works at any time employ less than twenty workmen in connection with its saig foundry and "machine business in thig city.” council 1 “The _H)Img people’s choir of the | First Preshyterian church will not [ meet tonight, as usual, owing to the school convention being in Regular prac- 7:80 p. m, at | Sunday [session at this hour. tice will held at 'the church Saturday be Baby gir]l this morning to Mr. ang Mrs. J.
