PARTIN IN FLORIDA Editor The Leader-Tribune: Will drop you a few lines to say 1 get the home paper regularly every Saturday or Monday and note from its columns with interest what is going on at home. I certainly am glad to know our people are making such progress with the Peach Blossom Festival and pageant as they are. My trip to Florida has been one of much pleasure from beginning to the present date. I visited some of the most important towns in Florida. The Fair and Gasporilla that took place here the past two weeks was very interesting. I can’t see how the citrus exhibits could be better. My main pleasure has been fishing. I was behind in fishing about ten years, but I hav ? about caught up till I come down again. I have about four more towns to make before I leave for the most interesting town in the South Valley. I have been advertising Fort] Valley, the Festival, barbecue and pageant and have had quite a few to tell me they would like very much to take it in on their way home. Had J the properly gotten-up literature L could distribute it to thousands in Florida. Will leave for home in two or three weeks. With best wishes, R. L. PARTIN. Tampa, Fla., Feb. 16th, 1925.

It’s hard to believe that a man busy as the chairman of a Blossom Festival would have j to think up a scheme to fill the seasts at the league on nights. But if you were present the league on last Sunday night ■ aw a two pound box of candy given to one of the regular “front We don’t mind telling you that I Margaret Whiting won the box. An ¬ other prize is offered for the month | of March. So be sure and come to the league every Sunday night and i try to get a seat on one of the first six seats and possibly you will be the lucky one next time. We won’t say |that Col. Shepard will enjoy giving j a box of candy to one of the young linen, but he said the offer was for the young men as well as the young ladies. And we suggest that the young men who persist in sitting on the four back seats should pay for the prizes. THE PAGEANT PACKS OUR CARES AWAY There’s no getting round the fact ] that pageant days are strenuous days. You get up by the alarm clock and step lively all day. If you are a 1 housekeeper you just wrap Lesiure, Order, Comfort, System and Daily Naps in pink tissue and pack them away until this festival has passed on. But for goodness’ sake don’t pack up your amiable disposition and sense of humor; you’ll need them (daily. But, yes, we have no time. We have a measure of duration an era i season, a period—but, yes we have no time. ! to We meeting rush through of breakfast to | a some sort. We have andwiehes for luncheon and rush off for practice and after the even t ing meal we get together and talk over costumes or something else quite as important; and if we get to ),ed in time for our beauty sleep there’s a trick in it. But the man of the family is hav irig the time of his life, When out late at night or all night he doesn’t have to rig up any of those old excuses and tax his brain to re member which one he gave. He only to say “pageant committee”, Those magic words smooth out ev¬ ery little thing and open numberless doors of escape from difficult prob¬ lems. But all this speed and rush and wrestling; isn’t it lots of fun? The director, Miss Oak, lovable and magnetic, is a positive dynamo of physical health and energy. She is so entirely a part of the Peach Festi¬ val that we no longer see her as a director, but as an ideal leader who inspires us to pull together to make the pageant a success; advising and directing with shrewdness and a wonderful sense of humor. We have taken on a new life since the atmosphere h- been surcharged with pageant-festivalism. The hours never drag for lack of entertainment. There’s no end of opportunity for thrillers if you camp on the “Trail 0 f pj n fc Petals.” _________ HI 001 Ilf O! 10011100 I! UHJlIIlL uLIl I IlluD " i The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. R.
