Harry Tench as freight agent of the Atlantic Coast Line at this point, the appointment to become effective today. Mr. Tench, who resigned some time ago, will leave within a few days to take up his new duties with the Florida Railroad Commis- sion at Tallahassee. The appointment of Mr, Strunk comes as a deserved promotion for that gentleman. He has been in the -employ of the Plant System. which later became a part of the Atlantic Coast Line system, almost continuously since 1898, and has served in various capacities in the Gainesville office for the past six and a half years. He Is thoroughly conversant with the duties of the position and is familiar with local commercial conditions, hence the affairs of the office will be carried on in a systematic manner. THE LITTLE WORD “YES." “Yes" is a simple word spelled with three letters. It has caused more happiness and more unhappiness than any other word in the language. It has lost more money for easy ler.ders than all the holes in all the pockets in the world. It has started more dipsomaniacs on their career than all the strong liquor on earth. It has caused more fights than all the “You're a liar” that ever were spoken. 1t has procured kisses and pro- voked blows. It has defeated candidates and el- ected scoundrels. It has been used in more lies than any other expression. 1t Is not meant half the time it is said. Will it continue to make such a record? Yes.—Philadelphia Inquirer. "mewflz S per cent.

AN INVESTMENT La kénla nd 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 developing this prop- erty as a high class resort: we have sold a large portion of this property to people of means in the nopthern states, who will build beautiful homes and plant grapefruit, orange and ° tanger- ine groves on their holdings. A number cf sales have been made to residents of Polk county, who realize the investment op- portunity and who further de- site 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 panoramic views are unsurpass ed in Florida. The land is roll- ing and naturally dvained. The climate is pure and invigorating and there are no mosquitoes nor malaria at Lakeland Highlands. The improvements now unde construction, consist of a mag- nificent Country Club House, Spanish Mission style of archi- tecture, school and chapel, boat houses, stables and garage. A golf course is now being planned in addition to many oth- er out door and indoor amuse. ments. The approximate cost to be $25,000. With the above improvements and developments it is obvious that 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. It would not be surprising to see this property double in value during the next two years. The social and health advan- tages at Lakeland Highlands will be worth the amount of your in- vestment. An investment in a lot or ten acre tract entitles yon to a membership in‘the Lakeland Highlands Club, with all its privileges. If interested please call or || write us for further information. W. F.
