When 2a community has Delivered anywhere within the limits of the City of Lakeland for 10 cents a week, ! From the same office is issued THE LAKELAND NEWS a weekly newspaper giving a re- sume of local matters, crop condi- tions, county affairs, etc. Sent anywhere for $1.00 per year. The wise man saved himself trou- ble last night by anticipating the pranks of the Hallowe'en revelers, in quietly removing his own gate from its hinges and setting it aside where he could find it this morning. In a debt case affecting the States of Virginia and West Virginia, the Supreme Court has just ruled that “deliberate speed” in paying up is all that can be cnforced. That's the gait most people hit when they weekly newspaper, [ I yon want to ascend in the I world, tie yourself to somebody,” is the e advice given by the Gaines- ville 5 There are number of youug people ready to act upon this advice, so tar as the last clause As to the as- any 8 of @i is concerned, cending part, that is about as un- certain as an air-ship flight, but that wou't deter youth from taking the risk, 0 | Taft as good as admitted, at Chi-| cago, the other day, that the Re-! publican party is doomed to defeat | in the coming national ,«-Im-linn‘i therein showing discernment | thay we have ever heretofore given him crvedit tor. lmmediately tol-| lowing this utterance he issued a Thanksgiving proclamation, show- ing still further that the old boy | has some conception of the eternal | fitnessaol things, more : o .

The vight-minded . citizen Will join forces with anybody in a movement looking toward the gen- eral good--even with those against whom he may have a private griev- ance. This is the spirit which builds cities, and it is a spirit we are happy to see growing among Lakeland citizens. let everybody bury the grouch and cut out Ih.o sulk, and lend a hand in the build- ing of a greater and better Lake- land naper, i we conceive to be her future, fidence in that future tion to hasten the realization of the possibilities we beiieve it mueh ieviani LAKELAND'S FIRST DAILY NEWSPAPER One of the Stite’s greatest news- an- of declared | | invested. commeenting on the the publication papers, in rotincement of Cvening Tolegram, launching of this n epoch in the history Witheur aty The that wonld mark a of Lakeland. the perat for which we are responsible, reached the point where it can sup- a daily newspaper, the outside world sits up and takes notice of it It is r regarded as an unimport- but it is accorded a de- wsideration which it can ain only by the possession of b‘l..ICh This consideration is not merely abstract or sentimen- but manifests itself in many ways which make for material ad- port as it had never done before. no longel ant town, gree of cor B an institution. tal, vantages.

We have ever been loth to being laggard in any upward or onward march; and while urging others forward in the path of progress, we have not failed to place ourselves in the column’s van. This paper hopes to accomplish some things for Lakeland—to be a helper in every movement for the general good. If by encourage- ment, by suggestion, by giving to our fellowman th. lest that is in us, we can aid i. “:inging about better things for u., it will be far more to us than any consideration of personal gain. We enter upon our self-appointed task with an en- thusiasm born of love of the work we have set ourself to do, and we shall try to make this newspaper a fitting and creditable exponent of this splendid community. How well we shall succeed, depends upon the we receive from those whose interests are identical with ours, and who ought to be actuated by the same ambitions and ideals. OF varselves we can do little; but with the aid and sympathy and sup- ,‘pun'nr the people of this commun- {ity - the business element, especial- Iy we can put Lakeland on financial vi<k in ovder that we may | Wap, carry the story of her advan- | tages attractions and her op- portunities to thousands who other- (I conntless ways promote the pros- any other consideration to infloence | perity of the city as a whole, and, of the | Pwise might pever hear of her, and| ‘Extensive | mprovymen (Continued from Page 1) Michigan, | ‘\'nl‘k.

The Evening Telegram feels that |a good percentage of young men will make the section more inter- esting and we are glad to welcome toth old and young to our midst. W. F. Hallam & Co. state that it is their wish to have interested cit- izens of Lakeland, Bartow, Tampa and adjoining towns enjoy this club, and visitors cards will be issued to those of good credentials, who de- sire to arrange occasional outings by driving over to the club for a ,meal and to be become acquainted with the northern people and others who are members of the Club. ’ | According to the plans now under way, it is the prediction of the Evening Telegram that Lakeland Highlands will, during the next five vears become an ideal community and resort, which will attract many hundred tourists to this section of Florida. This section of Florida been fully appreciated and knuwnl by the vast army of tourists who| visit the east coast of Florida each | and enjoy the luxurious l|ovo|l i pleasure accommodations, which Dave beep worked out by Mr. Flag- lop, 1t s really been unfortunate that our and committees have not taken the same in developing first-class accommodations to attract the many thousands of visitors to this section has not year | west coast railroads i interest individual which form her business and indus- vach of the enterprises AN INVESTMENT LAKELAND HIGHLANDS Will Prove Profitable. We have sub-divided our prop- erty in Lakeland Highlands, centering around Banana, Scott and Seward lakes into Bungalow lots and ten-acre tracts. We are develeping this prop- erty as a high class resort: we have sold a large portion of this property to people of means in the northern states, who will build beautiful homes and plant grapefruit, orange and tanger- ine groves on their holdings, A number of sales have been made to residents of Polk county, who realize the investment op- portunity and who further de- sire to take advantage of the pleasure and social features of this high class Club Colony. The Elevation of Lakeland Highlands is 300 feet above sea level. The Danoramic views are unsurpass- ed in Florida. The land is roll- ing and naturally drained. The climate is pure and invigorating and there are no mosquitoes nor malaria at Lakeland Highlands. The improvements now under construction. consist of a mag- nificent Country Club Honse, Spanish Mission style of archi- tecture, schoo! and chapel, boat houses, stables and garage. A golf course is now being planned in addition to many oth. er otut t!l(')hol' and indoor amuse- ments. ¢ approxima be $25.000. pp! te cost to With the above improvements and developments it is obvious t_}.at property values in this sec- tion will increase very rapidly during the next few years, An investment made now, at the present low pries and easy terms, should yield very hand. |! some commercial returns.

The Evening Telegram believes done to bring financial returns to Polk county like the development of high class hotels, resorts, amuse- ments and a system of good roads suitable for automobiling through- out the county. The Evening Telegram knows it to be a fact that the first thing northern people of means ask con- cerning this section is what kind of hotel accomodations have you, and what kind of roads have you for au- tomobiling, and until we are able to offer attractions this way we cannot hope to secure the wealth, which Isl pouring into the other sections of | known to the careful investo: .. the state from northern people.
