SOLDIERS’ MONUMENT, JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA c *A* j / Jacksonville, Fla., March.—ln the center of the business district of Jacksonville, one of the handsomest soldiers’ monuments in the southern states is admired by all tourists. This memorial is located in Hemming Park, surrounded by handsome grounds and imposing business blocks. The monument was erected by the late Col. C. C. Hemming at personal expense. Visitors to the Confederate reunion will find this park a delightful resting place in May. The park Is supplied with ample seats and rest places that both veterans and visitors will enjoy. FROM FLORIDA Dear Progress Readers: Since learning of the great revival ser vices that have just closed in your town, my heart is made glad to know of the many souls born into the Kingdom of Jesus our Lord. I haven’t had the pleasure of attending revival ser vices but have been interested in church and Sunday school work. I have visited a good many churches since my arrival here, but I joined the First Methodist Sunday school and thought may be it would be of interest to tell a little of our work: In the first place the people are good, but not so good as to feel better than strangers—they make you feel at home and teach the Bible first and then give les sons concerning ourselves and how to win others in the Master’s service. The pastor, Rev. W. J. Car penter, is simply great in his teachings and feeds his Sheep twice on Sunday such things as pertain to the glory of God. The money subject of the Sunday school now is a fund for anew church in which our class pledg ed six hundred dollars and have three hundred so far. For this benefit our teacher planned a boat trip to Empire Point on Orange Grove, on Thursday morning. We took the boat at the foot of Newnan street. The boat Helen is anew boat and seated well the number of the crowd for a jolly trip on the beautiful St. Johns. A mile be fore the landing we knew some thing about the perfume of an orange grove, which is enjoyed more at a distance, as the odor is better. But there is beauty in being near for the scenery is great to look upon. Great mass- es of blossoms and then clusters of ripe fruit in with them adds much to the Florida visitor’s eye, and of these Florida has more than a generous share. After seeing the most interest ing sights and gathering oranges from the trees we spread lunch and enjoyed the many tempting dishes. At 3:30 we took the boat back to Jacksonville and the Baraca classes met us there with automobiles and took us around what is known as the ten mile belt sight seeing and out ten miles on the national high way. Motoring is the ideal diversion for any hour of the day on these roads, which leads through long avenues of enchanting scenes. This ending a lovely day of ming ling with lovely people I must say it is good to be here. WORTHVILLE Mrs. Milton Wilson and Miss Minnie Thompson were guests Friday of Mrs. W. F. Stodghill.

COWBOYS WILL BE FEATURE OF SHRINERS CONCLAVE Atlanta, Ga., April 16. —There will be two cowboy bands in the National Shrine pageant in Atlan ta—a real cowboy band from South Dakota, and a masquerade cowboy band of Georgia crackers.

The Potentate at Helena, Montana, who is bringing a band of real Black feet Indians, wired Potentate Forrest Adair of Atlanta that if Mr. Adair could supply the musi cians, he could supply the cos tumes for a cowboy band of thirty pieces. The boys at Tech had already tendered their stu dent band to the parade, and Mr. Adair knowing their ability as comedians as well as musicians, telegraphed back; ‘ ‘Bring your chaps and sombre ros along.
