Roscoe, manager of the Rogers’ Goshen aBnd, is a born boos- - ter, and we are glad to say he is one of the best walking advertisements that Lakeland could have. He sprung a surprise on Mr. Adams last night at the Chautaugua by getting up and making a speech. And he made a good one, too. He stated that he was always glad te come to Lakeand, and that he very much appreciated the kindly appre- ciation always tendered the band readiness for the annual Washington Birthday cclebration wihch promises to surpass the efforts of other years. Many new features will be intro- duced in the parade which will start promptly from First street and Cen- tral avenue at 10 o’clock in the morn- ing. The entertainment in the aft- ernoon promises to be a great suc- cess and Bonney will make a flight during the day. A fitting climax for the day will be the Colonial ball in the evening at the auditorium by the W. T. L. A. A great number of the dancers will be in Colonial costumes. King's orchestra will furnish mustc. e e e e e ———— upon their visits here. He sald such treatment left an impress on their minds such as never could be erased, and that it gave him pleasure to tell his friends of Lakeland’s many at- tractions and advantages both as a place of continuous residence and as a place in which to-spend the wia- ter. “Be a booster for your towa,” said he, “and it you can't boost, get out and give room to some one who will. Stand by your Chautauqua— it's the greatest thing you ever dad and by next year have erected an suditorium in which to dold #t. believe you will have it.” s T e a SR T e === T LR HEY s 1
