SUBSCRIPTION RATES: Il'IOW'S THIS FOR A RECOMMENDATION? Judge Hagstrom and his young wife, came here twenty-nine years ago and helped found this beautiful Swede town with other faultless Swede natural born workers, He and family are mode] neighbors, honor- able and upright and are held in the kighest esteem by all neighbors and tellow citizens. Few people here possess any more friends than these devoted temperance Christians, who rever swear, use booze or tobacco,and are noble, polite and thoughtful and unselfish with truthful, clean tongues, One year ....-... .$5.00 8ix months ........ 2.50 Three months 1.26 Delivered anywhere within the limits of the City of Lakeland for 10 cents a week, NIRRT SR TR s T o T S From the same office is issued THE LAKELAND NEWS a weckly newspaper giving @& Te- sume of local matters, crop condi- tious, county affairs, etc. Sent snywhere for $1.00 per year.

The DeSoto County News must be making lots of money. i gave away a piano in a popularity contest Jast week, The gross business of many trus:worthy, golden-hearted, un- ftinching and unbeatable workers, and all the Swedes here surely mvas-l‘ ure up to the highest standard, and il the State werp double raked with a 20-inch gold tooth comb they would not find a better tiptop family than Judge Hagstrom, his popular, pleas- ing, good Samaritan wife, four sons and two beautiful daughters. These people’s friendship doesn’t warp rip, ravel or run down.—Pierson Corre- spondence in DeLand Record. The great sum of $9,300,000 is the approximate value of Florida's citr crop this year, according to statisties wide public by the Flovida Citrus Ex- change. 1t is estimated that the crop for this season will be worth more! than any other crop in the history of the State, by about $1,000,600, The crop this year is not so large as it was tWo years ago, but the prices received are so much higher, Two years ago found in vacant lots, |'I hat which is needed is local prid- *lon the part of the individual and a ! INDIVIDUAL EFFORT NEEDED TO MAKE A TOWN BEAUTIFUL. Nowhere does individual effor: count more in improving the appear- | ance of a town. If every citizen { would consider himself a committee 1of one to help beauify his home the question of a clean, attractive city would soon be settled. Too often lt-m- man waits for another, or indi- viduals wait for some organization or the city authorities to move, with the result that little is done. It re- quires no committee or organization for a man to sweep the sidewalk in front of his house, keep the lawn, house and garden neat and to re- move pots, pans, broken bottles and ther rubbish from his back yvard and alley, but it all helps to make a place beautiful. One trouble is that here and there is a man too indif- ferent or indolent to do these things, and one such man can mar the beauty «f a whole block. Another trouble is It is the own- er's place to keep the weeds down, and it is to his interest, but generally lie fails to do i, and the lot is given over to unsightly weeds and rubbish. general public spirit that will no: tolerate disfigurements.—Exch. THE ONLY WAY. An elder, while baptizing converts at a reviva] meeting, advanced with a wiry, sharp-eyed old chap into the water, He asked the usual question, . ‘WS s WOl - total of 6,100,000 boxes were 8¢ county newspapers would not pur- (& total of & PORS re SCNL| ) ther there was any reason why chase a piano. EF S S S Let's all quit kickin' our Claude aroun’ Let's give him a chance—and every chance—to make good. It is much better to sce him 10 good work in Congress than have the doubtful satisfaction of saying 'l told you so.” ——— Humpton's Magazine has suspend- vd publication, the dispatch stating the tact adding, "Re 1, 1o money to run on.” That's an excellent rea- son for suspension, and one that many a publication before Hampton's has been up against, Those weeds on the streets are growing mighty ftast this rainy weather, They are unsightly and probably not healthy. There wouldn't be a great many of them left, either, it every property owner would see that those in front of his place are cut, Real estate dealers and others tell us that never before did they see as many prospective purchasers of land in the State as there are at present. They say that great numbers of these people, who mean business, postponed coming down until now, and that they are spending some time investi- gating at the time of the year when it there are any climatic disadvan- tages they will show up. This is the wise plan, and Florida is equal to the test, These people will find the weather in summer as much superior 1o that of the norithern States as it 1 in winter, Several persons have asked us iy we printed a story about a baby born in Savannah, or some place up lll:ll' way, which talked an hour or =o aft- | er birth; predicted six months rain, and after that the end ot the world We certainly printed no such >hu_\_! nor would we do so except to ridi cule the credulity of | people who amaze us by actually con ‘ sidering seriously such absurdities, 11} We should hear st baby predict superstitious months’ rainfall we should prummlyt class it with“other unreliable weath er prophets; and as tor the end of the world, we are certain the Assoviated Press wouldn't et a mere tscoop” harmless but which \uother foolish absurdity, portance bobs up perennially, s the “Tndless chain®™ | od on the top of the Realp mountain, prayer. which weak minded people flood the mails with tfrom time to vime Prayer ao “see what happens ing promised to those who repeat it according to directions and then send misfortune” to those who break the SIN g baby | | us on a matter of such im-| out of the State and brought an aver- age of $1.23 a box. This season the movement will be 4,200,000 hoxes and the average price about $2.20 a box. It is of interest that the high- st average ever received by the Cali- fornia Exchange was $2.11 a box which was for the crop of 1905-4, Exch, The men who have achieved great the world owe | that suceess in s very large measure to generous and judicious advertis- ing. Men whose factories cover acres of ground and whose products go all! over ihe world, hegan business, al- most invariably, on a very modest sciale and slender capital. But they knew the value of advertising as the 3 medium for getting their g(u)dsl betore the public, and they showed their faith by their work. They are millionaires because they used the pages of the newspaper freely and wisely. To be sure not every one who advertises will meet with such fuecess in business stupendous suceess - the majority will not. But in not one case in a hundred is success ever attained without advertising. Every shrewd, up-to-date business man admits that. He knows that it is not enough that he has the goods. It that the public should know. Given, then, the true business instinet, the right goods upon the shelves and gen- erous and attractive advertisement calling attention to those goods, and is necessary suecess is hiso o Gainesville San, CLEVER WILLIE. \ rongh-looking man entered the jand that one dip won't do him any Pome of sentleman in a western city, and, seeing no ong around but | a small boy named Willie, said m' him: I yon don't rour tather tell me where money, 1’11 an’ after Keeps his Enock your top-kuot off wiards yer” “Please don’t,” said Willie, “You'll tud all the money we've got in an old coat in the Kitchen,” Two minutes later a braised and battered wreck was pitehed throngh the tfront door of Willie's home, and in the gutter and Wlinked “That Kid's too smart,” said the man. “Never said a word about the the ordinance of baptism should not be administered. After a pause a tall, powerful-looking man, who was look- ing quietly on, remarked, “Elder, 1 don't want to interfere in yer busi- ness, but 1 want to say that this is #n old sinner you have got hold of, good; you have to anchor him out in deep water over night.”—Life, What are the most popular names tor girls today, In some respects it is a difficult question, and the an- swer tends to show a paradoxical con- dition; for the most popular name is the most tashionable, and the most tashionable is the one found mostly among the stage beauties as well as in society's exclusive cireles. Roughly speaking Adele, Dorothy, Florence, Margaret, Mildred, Edith, Anna and Sarah head the list; al- though they are closely pushed by Eleanor, Jane, Helen, Josephine, Ce- cilia, Marjorie and several others, Mary has lost much of her old time popularity and May, Maria, Marie, Mamie and others from the same source have also suffered. It is odd how closely the names of fashionable girls are akin to those of the stage favorites and choruses, Some of the old-time familiar names £til lhold forth among young women. Mary still retains 2 part of its old-time grip along with Kate, Clara, Lena, Nellie, Sadie, Agnes and Emily. Even beautiful Alice ha slost a commanding position in popularity At this time more than any ||--riml‘ in the past fond parents ave following their own set ideas in the naming ot | the infant daughter.
