HOLWORTHY Business and Circulation Manager. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: Six monihs Three mouths ~ - Delivered anywhere v.mxin the limits of the City of Lakeland for 10 cents a week. From the same office is jssued THE LAKELAND NEWS a8 weekly newspaper giving a e~ “sume of local matters, crop condi- tions, counfy affairs, etc. Sent anywhere for $1.00 per year, e e Very few church organizations, if any, have dome more -Christmas charity than the Salvation Army. In the -large cities of Florida, as else- where in the couniry, they have brought cheer and happiness to hundreds who would otherwise. have been neglected. Some people scoff at the Salvation Army, but it seems to have some, real religion in it. SRS S R Taft says he can’t attend that big Key West railroad celebration, * which is a great disappointment to the Key Westers, as, indeed, it is to all Floridians, who would have been glad to have scen the State honored m this occasion by a visit from the Nation’s chief executive. And then . would have been worth while to make z trip over to the capital of Conkdom to see the meeting be- tween the President and Gen. Abe Sawyer—both big men, notwith- standing Abe has less than 48 inches to his_credit. i We note that'a man up in Na_flt— yille has advertised ‘himself = “for le” in the Nashville Banner, as his doughnut that the hardest work| . this fellow ever did consisted “in A ng honest iabor.” The cat is let 4 mm of the bag in the statement that *previous to the sale he will make & k on existing labor conditions.” It is pretty evident that be is the kind of man who works mostly with his jaw. That's the reasén he hasn't a Job today. There may be some com- munities in which employment is “difficult to find; but we'know ‘of none s ch in the South. On the contrary, ‘employers find great difficuity in se- curing enough help to conduct their ‘enterprisés. - This is evidently an at- mpt to secure a little cheap notoriety by one of the, class whose favorite occupation is ‘to sow the geeds of discord and diseontent—the €lass, too, from which such men as ‘the McNamaras spring. 5 Bl R TN, Vs i THE CHRISTMAS GIFT X WE FAILED TO GET. We note little items cropping out ip our exchanges conveying the thanks of these papers for boxes . of oranges presented them by the lvcal exchanges. These formed very pleannt remembrances, and showed dr against the green fruit evil. This paper did not get a box of|a ‘oranges, althongh it did receive a “copy of a letter written from the Ex- change headquarters to the local ex- “¢hange, suggesiing that such a re- membrange be given us. The fact is, _we got'in bad with the Exchange, as we now and then do with other insti- " tutions and: individuals, by having " the temerity to- express an opinion on a matter of public interest.
