Davidson VanEchop. A WEEK AT ST. MARTINS. A Place Where Any One Can Have a Good Time. Last Tuesday we, in company with our better half and little son, left Ocala for a week's visit with Capt. E F. Wheeler and family at 'heir comfortable home on the breezy banks of St. Martin's river. The captain came up to this city and escorted us to the burg of Ho mosassa, at which point we were met by his two sons, DuPree and Oscar, who were in waiting: with a ir, w with our Vsor gage' and traps, were soon gliding over the glossy surface in the di- rection of the captain's home. After passing down the different channels for about four or five miles we were landed at the dock, at which place we were met by Mrs. Wheeler, who, we wish to say, is one of the most pleasant ladies it has ever been our pleasure to meet, and were led to the house, and after a little while seated around a well-ladened table, at which time the huqgry newspaper man showed his ability in devour ing eatables, it being about 11 o'clock at night. Supper over and a short chat, we retired to a nice, cool room, where we were soon wrapped in the sweet embrace of that greatest of all restorative powers, sleep. Wednesday and Thursday being quite rainy, we did not go out much, but were made to enjoy our selves around the house, by the captain and his highly interesting family. We have spent a number of va cations in the rural districts, but nevea before were we made to feel so much at home as at this place. Late Thursday evening we were taken in charge by Fred Wheeler, than whom there is no more ac commodating young man, and rowed around to where we could r fo r r truded from the surface of the' water, and were permitted to turn a load of buckshot from Mr. Wheeler's favorite shoteun at his left eye. Fred said we hit the old fellow, but we were so fearful that we might cripple him and he would endeavor to return the compliment by giving us a 'swipe" with his tail, that we did no? take very good aim, "but immediately after the re port of the gun we wanted to make for the shell mound, where we were satisfied we could run as fast as I the frn f- -t- Will tell you more about our trip in tomorrow's issue.

Gorman, manager of the California building at the Atlanta exposition, has received from the chamber rf commerce, L' s Ange les, a communication snins: tnat an orai'ge lower 35 feet high will be erected in the center of the building, and will be illuminated by 300 incandescent electric Jig his. The towei will be. entirely covered with oranges, wrvch will be kept fresh during the entire exposition. For that purpose five carloads of oranges have been placed in cold storage at Los Angeles, and sup plies will be shipped every fifteen days to replenish the exhibit. Ex. California is seizing the advan tage afforded by our great freeze and the temporary cessation of our orange industry. Although our orange crop north of the Manatee is destroyed for a few years, we should not be out done by California, and that, too, right here in our own southern states. If the people of Florida would take hold and spend the time and money necessary, we could have a good exhibit of orange and other citrus fruits from South Florida, and show the world that we have oranges left. TOO HEALTHY. Dr. W. J. Woolard, of Nashville, Tenn, is here searching for a place to locate. Dr. Woolard is quite a young man and comes highly recommend ed. t He says Ocala people appear too healthy to support another physi cian. He left yesterday for Tampa. While here the doctor was the guest ot his aunt, Mrs. H. G. Mc David, on Henry avenue. CURSES LOUD AND DEEP. You have heard of a man curs ing the atmosphere blue? Well, it was verified last night very vividly about 10:30. A man passed along the railroad between R. E Young's and W. H. Chaille's residences, and from his language led people to believe his wife or sweetheart must have proven unworthy of his confi dence. We could not learn what he said, but the burden seemed to be: -"I'll kill her tonight I'll kill her and then kill myself It I don't kill her tonight I'll do so tomor row night sure V Whatever the erring one had done, it must have been unpardon able, as his trouble seemed greater than he could bear.

WHAT TO READ. Dr. Theodore L. Cuyler Gives the Names-of the Books that itave Helped Him Hi. its that Al! May Fellow. I have been requested to men linn some of the books that have been of most value to me. I do not include in this list those vol umes which belong to the critical apparatus of all Biblical students and sermon makers, such as expo sitions, commentaries, etc. In my childhood, spent in a farm house, the range of iuven tie literature was very limited, comprising only JVIerton" and a few others. This drove me to books for people of adult years. The first book, next to God's own book, that enchained my early thoughts, and has never yet been dethroned, was Bunyan's immortal "Pilgrim's Progress" It taught me the beauty and power of pure, undiluted, idiomatic Eng lish; for in this respect it even sur passes Shakespeare. It grounded me in sound theology; for outside of the Epistle to the Romans there is no richer compend of orthodox theology. It is a most searching exhibition of the human heart; and inexhaustible for devotional read ing; all the while it quickens the imagination also, and furnishes no end of pulpit illustrations. There ught to be a chair of Bible in- j struct ion in every college; and in every theological seminary a few good lectures on Bunyan's great allegories. During my student days in the i 4-u u: u.. seminary uppedi cu inc uiugiajjuy of the Rev. Robert Murray Mc Cheyne, and if I shall ever meet Dr. Andrew A. Bonarin Heaven I shall thank him again, as I often liave in this world, for that por traiture of a model minister f thunder and chain-lightning; ard I Jesus Christ. It is doubtful the readug if them always sets whether McCheyne if he had lived j me on fire. In these days of to an old age would have been more useful than he is in the pages of that quickening biography. Every voung minister ought to read it at least once in every year."
