T ——————————————————— e ———————— P Kissimmee thinks it is doing mighty fine, and we think so, too. Barring Lakeland, we do not know a better or more progressive little city in the South. —_— Well, we're not going to plagiarize on the St. Petersburg Independent, in regard to its clever idea of giv- ing its paper away every day the sun does not shine; but,.in a burst of generosity, we have determined to give the Telegram away every day it snows in Lakeland. The *‘oldest inhabitant”’ claims he once saw it *gpit” snow in Lakeland, so you see we run considerable risk. — e We are sending out with the Tele- gram today a supplement exploiting the claims of Honorable Oscar W. Underwood for the presidency. This paper is not committed to the sup- port of Mr. Underwood tor the Democratic nomination; in fact, we have concluded that Woodrow Wil- son is the most available candidate and we shall continue to push that gentleman's claims until the na- tional convention shall act, At the same time we congider Underwoord the peer of any in ability and in the qualities that go to make up presidential timber, and there is no true Democrat who cannot give him hearty and enthusiastic support should he be the convention’s choice. e ——— The brethren will sit up and take notice that there is a newspaper men at the head of the DeLand Sup- plement now, and they may tear the wrapper from that paper in the full faith that it is worth while. Mr. Clarence E. Woods, late mayor of Richmond, Ky., and for many years connected with work in the Blueg State, has taken charge of the Supplement, and will make its editorial columns no: only interesting, but a force for good in every issue that may arise, The writer knew him back in Ken- tucky— knows his worth, his cour- age, his sincerity, his ability, Flor- ida has gained much in securing him as a citizen, and the Florida press has been strengthened by ing. newspaper T8 1 A his com- 0- The little band of ladies who con- stitute the Lakeland branch of the Daughters of the Confederacy are certainly entitled to unstinted praise in the successful consumma- tion of their efforts to pay for the handsome monument which graces the city park For the past two years or more good women have worked Iy in this tabor of love and patriotism, have| made many sacrifices and endured much, They have sold hot coffee in cold weather, drinks in weather, and performed these nnceasie cold have ail iinds of “orts ity id ornament, and to fitting t manhood.
