Bonnie. ........130 30 100 This tournament has given the Orlando Golf Club a standard for handicapping in the future and hereafter the men will be handicapped from the scores that were made on yesterday. The play of yesterday also showed that there is some very fine talent, in this club and the result will be that tournaments will be arranged with the older golf clubs of the state, when it will be seen that Orlando can hand up a 'pretty good order of talent, and will make a creditable showing for the town.

This Country Club is one of the best institutions in the community and it ought to meet with the approval of all the citizens of Orlando, furnishing a wholesome and healthful exercise it is the best kind of an institution for a young man to identify himself with it. There is no more manly game than golf, it has a tendency to develop will power, to increase skill, and it is a game that appeals to the honor of a man more perhaps than any other game. Aside from this, the Club house itself, is so attractively arranged and elegantly apportioned, that it will meet a long felt want in such a community as our is. It will bring great numbers of tourists to Orlando who would otherwise pass us by, because of a lack of just such a healthful, pleasant pastime as golf affords to men. There is one thing about a good golf player, and that is, nothing pleases him more than to see ladies on the course, and no where can ladies cise their influence to better effect than by participating in this, the very best exercise for them.

They not only add grace and beauty, but their every tendency, is to refine and elevate. There is not a man in the Orlando Golf Club who does not earnestly hope that ladies, in great numbers, will avail themselves of the golf links. C. E. SOCIAL.

All are cordially invited. ATTENTION KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS! Important business requiring your presence and attention, will be trans aoted at the regular session of Welcome Lodge No. 9, tonight.

DISASTERI Upon the large mirror in DeLaney's drug store wherein pleasant things are most often picturedthere is seen today a representation of the great ocean tragedy of the TItanic striking the 'berg. It's very realistic. The water. is a little rough, it's true, and the ship's funnels are belching so much black smoke that one would think that the ship was getting up steam for the collision. But all in all, it's well done, and we congratulate the artist.

We asked DeLaney if he was guilty, and by not commiting himself we suppose he is.

T. H. EVANS, Jeweler, Orlando Florida RE REPORTER-STAR. AR ORLANDO, ORANGE COUNTY, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, MAY 10, 1912. Trucking Co.

Organized at Winter Garden H. A. Williams, of Orlando and Winter Garden, left town today for a trip into Tennessee and Kentucky in the interest of a truck garden corporation which has just been organized at Winter Garden. The plan is interesting, and in this section of the State is new. The corporation is known as the Winter Garden Fruit and Trucking capitalized as $30,000.

The managers selected 120 acres of land near Winter Garden, which, according to their circular will be devoted to intensive farming. Judge Warlow is one of the directors. Williams is president of the company, J. D. McMillan Winter Garden, vice president; C.

D. Laundon; of Orlando, secretary Mr. Williams has gone north to dispose of the stock. Before leaving he said he purposed to do some wholesale advertising of Orange county through the inviting middle south country. MRS.

JENNIE S. PERKINS. Residents of the Winter Garden section and many others in Orange coun. ty will learn with regret of the death of this estimable lady, who died at the residence of her son in Jacksonville on the 1st of this month. Mr.

and Mrs. E. D. M. Perkins came early in the past winter, from Washington, D.

where they have resided for several years, for the purpose of spending the winter at their old home at Winter Garden. She was in ill health, and as she did not improve they went to Jacksonville, where a son is living, remaining there until her death. Mrs. Perkins was porn in McNairy county, April 13, 1832. She came with her husband E.

D. M. Perkins and six children to Orange county in 1879. They settled on a homestead near Lake Apopka, remaining there until 1894, when she went to live with a son who had settled in Washington. Mr.

Perkins following soon afterward. Endowed by nature with high intellectual gifts, Mrs. Perkins wrote many beautiful poems, some of which, composed on subjects relating to Florida, were widely published and much admired in the North and East. She was also well known to the readers of floral magazines for her writings on the culture of flowers. Her style was lucid and her fund of information as exact as it was deep.

She was beloved by her neighbors and friends, for in the midst of her household duties and literary labors she found time to be kind and helpful to those around her who need. ed it. A woman of singularly attractive nature, adored by her family and admired by intellectual people who read her writings; faithful in every relation of life, she has gone to her eternal rest leaving an honored name and a memory of goodness that will not die. The remains were taken to her father's old home near Purdy, where many of her ancestors sleep in their native soil. Her passing has made her beloved Florida poorer and felt a vacancy in the ranks of our pioneers that will not be filled.

NOTICE TO VETERANS AND SONS OF VETERANS. Don't forget that this is the last year that crosses of will be bestowed by the U. D. C. VOnly two dates remain on which these will be bestowed, and applications must be in at an early date so as to secure the crosses in time for bestowal.

Blanks for applications can be had of the president, Miss Margaret Hart. Following are the rules governing the holders of these crosses: A son of a veteran may be granted his father's cross of honor if his father is dead. But he has to promise solemnly never to wear the cross upon any occasion. It is only a "keepsake" to him. If the oldest child in a family is a girl she is entitled to the father's cross which must pass to her oldest child and so on.

The oldest lineal descendant is always entitled to the cross. If there is a widowed mother she usually keeps the cross until her death. This is optional. 7 5t. See Shanibarger for Bicycles.

W.

RAMBLER. Next Sunday, May 12th, is Mother's Day, which originated five years ago in the city of Philadelphia, and is becoming each year more generally observed by the churches. It is a loving tribute to mothers, living or departed, and a white carnation or white flower should be worn as an emblem of the occasion. Now that Mother's Day is becoming generally observed, it is no more than just, that "Dad's Day" be commemorated in some appropriate manner. Saturdays would probably be the best days, for Dad, as they are usually Day days, and occasions on which he gets more attention than on the other days of the week.

Do you ever stop to think how rapidly we are falling into line with the larger cities? We have coco cola, cigar and postage stamp vending machines grocery, bakery, and steam laundry with auto deliveries postal savings bank, messenger boy service, two moving picture shows, three large electric signs; several flash signs, newsboys, a society for the prevention of cruelty to animals, a wide awake board of trade, a daily newspaper, a proposed city park, etc. There is one job in this city the Rambler never would qualify for and is ticket agent. People often ask questions of the postmaster and the editors of the daily paper which it would take weeks to figure out, but the ticket agent receives some which are utterly impossible, for instance: "Do you suppose 85 will be on time day after tomorrow? If not, why not?" "Can you tell me if a young lady in a blue dress and straw hat got off the last train from the north, and where she went?" "What time does the 12:30 train leave, and is it going to leave on time?" "What made 85 so late a week ago last Saturday?" "How do I get to Kissimmee without chang. ing cars?" "Can't you telephone and hold the boat at Sanford if the train arrives late?" "Wil you watch for my friend and tell him how to find my home, for I do not like to wait for trains?" "I left a novel on the seat of a Tampa bound train about three weeks ago. Can you tell me where I can find it?" "Can you give me the exact time I will arrive in New York?" This is about five minutes exercise for the ticket agent, and that is why he doesn't always answer when spoken to.
