Miss Annie Sanders came up from Tampa last Friday to spend the week with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. P. H. Sanders. Mrs. N A. Riggins is spending a few days at Coronet, where she went down to visit her sweet little grand- daughter, who has beep named Mar- garet. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Cochran, who have been spending several months here, the guests of Mr. and Mrs. H. Sanders, returned last Thursday to their home in South Carolina. The Majestic theater showed re- turns as far as obtainable from over the State last night. Large crowds | were present to get the details, which, of necessity, were meager, but interesting neverthelses. Hon. Park Trammell left last night for Jacksonville, where he is spend- ing today before going on to his home in Tallahassee. Mr. Trammell was quite fatigued when seen just i before going to Jacksonville, as dur- ing the past several weeks he has been waging a very strenuous cam- paign. 1 "M Hon. \W. N. Sheats reached Lake- land Monday night from various | parts of the State, where, since Jan. 1, he has waged a strenuous cam- paign. Mr. Sheats has perhaps given f more time to the canvass of the State than any other candidate, and from reports his work has met with splen- did results.

A dispatch from Pensacola says: | All of the mortars and heavy guns at | Forts McRae and Pickens have been put out of commission and the sol-! diers here and at Barancas, instead | of ordinary artillery drills, are be- ing drilled in infantry tactics. They aee put through skirmish and ex- tended order drills two hours or more every day, and long marche: along the beach are included in the Program. It is the general opinion that preparations are being made to take the field on short motice, similar to the movement to the Mexican bor- der some months ago. Risidents of Lakeland had the asant experience of having thewr { delivered at their doors t moruing for the first time in the his- |lur3 of the town. The mail carriers left the I\zlli-v at 7:45 and were soopn distrib- juting mail matter of every descrip- tion 1o the various homes of the city. There are, of course, many business men who still retain their boxes at the postofice on account of it being more convenient. However, the free delivery system was installed under very favorable conditions, quite 1 iarge number of patrons having sig- nificd their desire to have mail de- livered at their residences. Postmaster Skipper has the fol- lowing to say in regard to the in- auguration of the system and the plan of delivery: pos:- HAVE ALMOST HUMAN BRAIN. Intelligence of the Elephant Proved to Be Developed to a Marked The elephant looks stupid enough, but his intelligence is developed to a marked degree. Dr. Romanes tells several interesting stories of these animals. A man was one day feed- ing a tame elephant with potatoes which the elephant took from his hand. A small round potato fell on the ground just out of reach, After unsuccessful at tempts to get it the animal blew so strong 2 blast of breath against it that it was dashed against a wall, from which it rebounded so far that ke easily reached it, It is said tha. an elephant will often blow just be- yond small objects out of reach so that the reflected current of air will drive them toward him. Dr. Romanes repeats the story of an elephant that was chained to a tree near a little oven in which his driver had just baked some rice cakes. Whep the driver went away, leaving his cakes to cool, the ele- phant unfastened the chuin from his leg, uncovered the oven, opened it ate the cakes, and covered the oven with earth and stores as he found It. He then returned to his place, and wound the chain about his leg GOOD ROADS MEETING. The mvexilfg of llnrl.?lk'(:h-nd—fll—uh- lands Good Roads Association held in Munn park this afternoon was large- iy attended and some splendid ad- dresses made by several present on the work of the association.
