On the stroke of seven the lights
were all turned on and shortly after
wards the program began.
The J. A. Coburn band gave a few
splendid pieces. This company had
a date in our city for this night, and

to the pleasure of the occasion by
playing.
I A number of selections were also
| given by the Ocala School Band. This
[band is composed of a number of the
; school children, led by Mrs. B. G.
Cole.
A few Christmas carols were sung
by the „ audience, and after the pro
gram was over an auto horn was
heard in the distance, and upon in
vestigation it was soon discovered
that good old “Saint Nick” had ar
j rived with his pack full and running j
j over. Each child present was given j
a Christmas box filled with caady,
nuts, etc-, and they were given ap
ples and oranges- So bountifully
j had everyone contributed that no one
was overlooked.

! one at the Industrial Home for the
girls there; the Methodist primary
Sunday school tree last Saturday aft
ernoon, at which a pretty program
was rendered; the Presbyterian tree
Friday night at the Presbyterian
church; the Christian Sunday school
