The Commissioners are not sup- poscd o pay any attention to count- er-petitions—at least, the law s silent in the maiter. The election must be called, and the opposition, if any, may then have its innings. At least, this scems to be the law, hun- in be Tomorrow morning several dred homeseekers will arrive Lakeland.

In this issue of The Telegram ap- pears a card from Mayor Cox to the people of Lakeland asking them to clean up their premises and plant a tree before the first of the New Year.

St. Peter sits by the heavenly gate, located | his hands on the strings of a lyre. | and he sings a low song as he pati- expire. He hears in the distance the chorus of song, that swells from the foot of the throne, and he smiles as the music is wafted along, and warbles a lay of his own: “There is room in his region for millions or souls, who by sorrow and woe are bereft, ‘'tis for those who have suf- fered the melody rolls, but the Kick- er must turn to the left. There is room here for people who when they were young, perished in sowing wild Gits, yet who boomed up their cities with sinew and tongue, but the kickers must go with the There is room for the people who pointed with pride to the beauty and growth of their town, who kept sing- ing its praises aloud till they died but the Kkicker will please ambl down. They'd say that the music was all out of tune, and the angelic robes “hand-me-downs,” and they'd send for a jeweler off to the moon, to sample the gold of their crowns. Now, while there is room for mil- lions of souls who by sorrow and woe are bereft we want no complaint of the music that rolls, so the Kicke: must turn to the left.” Thus sang a true poet in words that should burn, goats like a hot iron deep in the soul of | the Kicker who kicks, and who Kicks | and who Kicks from the equator clear to the The intrude their foul presence upon every live town, and chill every boom-—what a pity!
