LAKELAND, FLORIDA, IMPROVED TRAIN SERVICE. SANFORD TRAIN TO BE RESUX. ED NOVEMBER 16.—OTHER NOTES OF RAIL. Fast winter trains are being put. on from the great Northern cities by the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad to Jacksonville. Increased service is being started between that city and South Florida resorts. The Coast Line realizes that the early appear- ance of cold weather in the North will turp the tide of travel south~ ward this season somewhat earliet than usual. - From reports received from Norths ern representatives, the exodus from the colder sections to the South wik start three weeks earlier than last year. Already trains leaving New York, Philadelphia and Washingtor are comfortably filled. Before an- other fortnight they will be full and overtlowing. Confident that the tourist move- ment into the state will begin within the next week or two, the railroad company has already put on the famous *‘Palmetto Limited,” having re-cstablished that train October 16. I'vains Nos. 83 aud 86, leaving New York at 3:38 p. m., arrived at .Iuck-l sonville at 7:45 a. m. the followiny day. These solid vestibuled trains carried eletric-lighted steel Pullman and dining cars. The service was elaborate and swift, Connecting with the *“Palmett: Limited,” trains between St. Peters- burg and Jacksonville will carr, vide. These trains began to movk with the first train southward Oc- tober 30, appearing on time tables as Nos, 37 and 38, On October 16 the dauble daily passenger train between St. Peters- burg and Trapon Springs, known as the “Tarpon Springs Short,” was es- tablished. These trains connect at St. Petersburg with both the morn- ing and the afternoon steamers from and for Tampa. Lakeland-Sanford Trains. Train service between Sanford and Lakeland will be resumed November 16. This service will connect at Lakeland with both trains Nos. 27 and 28, to and from Tampa. The sleeping car from Jackson- ville to Boca Grande went into ef- fect November 1. Sleepers will leave Jacksonville in tow of train No. 83 and, being cut off at Lakeland, will be attached to the Winston & Bone valley train No. 123, The Bone Val- ley train will connect with the Char- Jotte Harbor & Northern train No. 1, at Mulberry, passengers will be put into Boca Grahde at 1:35 p. m. The returning train leaves Boca Grande at 2:25 p. m. and arrives in I,uko--‘ jand in sufficient time to connect with train No. 82, to Jacksonville. T . varior car service, says J. G Kirkland, division passenger agent of the Coast Line, will be started about December 11. The Jacksonville-San- ford and Leesburg sleeping car Hnol wil! go into effect about the same| time. Certain improvements in the ser- vice have been made in famous trains of Atlantic Coast Line, namely: The “Florida and West India Limited.” between New York and Tampa; the “Dixie Flyer,” and “Seminole Limit- ed,” between Chicago and Jackson- ville; also the “South Atlantic Lim- ited,” between Cincinnati and Jack- sonville. District Passenger Agent Kirkland at Tampa. is authority for the state- ment that extra service will be put on between various points in the State. As the season advances, these improvements will be formally an- ‘means much for the upbuilding and ‘I ney J. B, Singletary and the d¢ fend- THURSDAY, NOV. 2, 1911. TELEGRAM MAD HIT AT BARTOW. NEARLY BROKE UP COURT WHEN POLK COUNTY'S FIRST DAILY APPEARED. Evening Telegram Bureau, Bar- tow, Nov, 2.—Copies of number one of volume one of the Lakeland Eve- ning Telegram come to Bartow last evening. The sheriff, John Logan, delivered a bundle of them in the court house, The court was holding a night session and evidence in an interesting case was being taken, but when The Telegram was deliv- vred, everyone who could get a copy at once forgot all about the court proceedings and began eagerly to read Polk county's daily paper. The tirst number was certainly fuld of jnteresting news. \We age sure that the people of Bartow, as well as the people of all the rest of the county, wish for The Telegram, as a matter for county pride, all kinds of suc- cess. Lakeland and Polk county are to be congratulated on the appear- ance of the first daily paper ever pub- lished in the county; its success future prosperity of not only Lake- land itselt, but of the entire county, as well, Late Court Proceedings. The court I8 still engaged in the® trial of Melvina Brown on the charge of murder. The following men were selected to serve on the jury: R. M. Every, M. G. Merritt, R. V. Bryant, J. K. Futch, W. T, Wright | Jeff Crews, H. Carter, J. A, Williams, Miles, J. The killing by Melvinn Brown ot Adalaide Macon at Winter Ifaven, on Oct. 22, was not denied, and. therefore, the State soon presented its case. The Brown woman walk- ed up to the Macon woman in A& church yard at Winter Haven and stabbed her twice in the breast from | which wounds Adalalde died. The| state contends that this was a l'fll(l: blooded murder. The defense s not guilty because she is insane, and, furthermore, that she should not be convicted because she com- mitted the crime, If crime it was, in defense of the honor of her husband; and home. She is pleading the un-‘ claims that M(-Ivina! written law. Witnesses were put on the stand by the defense to prove that Melvina has always been sub- ject to fits, and that her mother, grandmother and sisters were sub- ject to fits. One of Melvina's neigh- bors, a negro, of Winter Haven, tes- tified that the defendant is “‘mooney- fied,” that she has fits on “de waste of de moon.” The defense will fin- ish the introduction of testimony this morning (Thursday,) by putting medical experts on the stand, after which will follow the argument of counsel and the verdict. The State is ably represented by State Attor- ant by Wilson & Boswell Wednesday's Court Business. Evening Telegram Bureau, Bar- tow. Nov. 1.—Court convened at eight o'clock Wednesday morning. The first thing taken up was to re- ceive the report of the grand jury The following indictments were Tre- turned: State vs. breaking and entering with the in- tent to commit a felony.

Vernon Tiabout and Wm. Fleming, who recently purchased the Scally farm on Lake lHunter, are moving today to their newly acquir- ed ‘home. Mr. and Mrs. Tiabout, who are from Enais, Texas, came here sev- eral months ago, and for a time had rooms at Mrs. \Vaggoner's, but for the past several weeks have been liv- ing in one of the Riggins' houses on South Tenunessee avenue. Last week Mr. Tiabout’s son-in-law, Mr. Flem- ing, arrived in the city with his fam- ily, bringing a carload of furniture, several horses and general farming implements. These excellent people will add materially to the citizen- ship of Lakeland and it is with pleas- ure that the Evening Telegram notes their permanent location in Lake- land, The property which they pur- chased is one of the best farms in this section, being especially adapted to the trucking business. 1t was for- merly the Polk property, later hav- ing been purchased by Mr. Scally. who made record-breaking crops of celery, |I‘".Ill"(‘ and Irish potatoes thereon. Citizens Give Evening Telegram liearty Reception. To say that the reception given the first appearance of the Evening Telegram by the people of Lake- land was enthusiastic would be to state the condition very mildly. From the time it made its appear- ance on the street, all through the evening aud all day today, the pub- lishers have been the recipients of expressions of approval and con- gratulations, verbal, over the tele- phone and through the malls. All agree that no city of its size in the country has a better newspaper ser- vice than we are now giving in the KEvening Telegram and The Lakeland News, We value, beyond measure, these expressions of hearty good will so lavishly pouring in from all classes and conditions of people, and they spur us to renewed efforts to have our institution one in which our cit- jzens may take just pride. AUTOMOBILE PARTY HAVE FINE TRIP Mr. and Mrs. Reed Weaver, Miss Julia Btta Patterson and Miss Wright of Plant City, returned Monday eve- ning from Ocala and Eustis having made the trip of 350 miles in Mr. Weaver's handsome new 1912 Cad- illac. The party left Lakeland Sunday morning, reaching Ocala Sunday niht where they remained until Monday morning, guests of the Ocala House shortly after breakfast the start home was made, the return trip being via Ensl'fi and Leesburg, Mr. Weaver's old home They reached Lakeland Monday afternoon at 5:20 o'clock, having made the trip, without any adjustments to the car being made and with memories of a very delightful outing. WILLIAM SAMUEL PILLANS. Sunday night Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Pillans. of Lakeland, Fla. lost their ¢leven-months-old infant son, wil- liam Samuel. His illness was of six weeks from cholera infantum. He lando cemetery. The baby was a lovely. promising child, a cherished pet of each member of the family, the loss of whom leaves an aching viod which cannot be filled. —Orlan- do Star-Reporter. l w was brought here yesterday a!lvr-‘ noon where relatives and friends met the bereaved parents and accompan- ied them to the interment in the Or- HUNTERS ARE NOW BUSY. Season 0n—e;|;d Yester- day and Bob White is Getting His. Open season for quail, turkey and deer began in this State yesterday, November 1st, and local huntsmen were in the woods early, and all day the sound of shotguns reverber- ating in the country surrounding the city as the feathered game tumbled from its swift flight and become the booty of the hunters. Those who went out yesterday report that the shooting season bids fair to be a fine one, as there is an abundance of the feathered beautics in the woods. We note below, as far as we have been informed, parties who went out yesterday: . B. Hendrix joined a party from Bartow and together they proceeded to Loughman, where with Dr. Hollo- way and other enthusiastic sports- men, they will go on a deer hunt. Mr. and Mrs. L. A, Reynolds and Charlie Bell went K\‘ few miles from the city and baw. . a number of quail, and report the shooting fine, plenty of game being in the woods. Other parties who met with vari- ous degrees of luck were J. D. Lovell and Mr. West; Gus Nelson, M. O. King, Fred Fussell; Jeff Jennings, Wm. Winn; C. I. Inman; W. C. Nor- vell and Transfer Mail Clerk Berry. Dr. W. 8. Irvin and a party from Haskell are on a deer hunt on the Kissimmee river, and will be away about a week. BEST SHERIFF IN SOUTH. Polk county has the best sheriff in the south. When John Logan starts a trail he never gives up till he lands the man. He is not a man that talks much but he is always on the job. This week he captured in St. Petersburg, Grady Jones the white man who shot a negro at DBarnett Lake last summer. Mathie Cradle alias Kid sSmith who is wanted in Christina was captured at Inverness. John Reed and John Taylor, who were participants in a shooting scrape were captured in Tampa. Withii: the past few months he has been as far north as New York state for offenders and numbers of times throuhout the southern states. He is a good one, all right.—Courier- Informant. IT BROUGHT RESULTS. Tweedell's store resembled a bank that was about to fail last night, when in about three minutes after The Evening Telegram was on the street a rush was made on him for butter at 18 cents per pound. The reason that butter fell with such a thud from 40 cents to 18 cents was owing to the fact that the types got mixed, shoving ham up to 35 cents. and butter down to 18 cents. Wheth- er Mr. Tweedell found it paid to ad- vertise in this one instance or mot we haven't been informed, but it all goes to show that an advertisement in the Telegram brings results, JORDAN NOT A CANDIDATE. Tallahassee, Nov. 1. —Pure Food Inspector A. P.
