Fla., —The boarl of county commissioners were in ses- Bartow, Oct., sion agunin yesterday with all mem- bers present. Several road petitions came up for consideration, and these were laid ‘mer for consideration at the next regular meeting. The Lakeland- Highlands Good Roads association presented a numerously signed peti- tion for a change in the Lakeland- Bartow road, petitioning among oth- er things that the road should be es- tablished trom Bartow to Haskell us at present, but that from Haskell to it the into Lakelund the the rest of declared Lakeland, ho 10 by run Clih house and thenee over the old rowd, This petition, Illu- all the others, was laid over for lvu\uonnll\ul wation, but from re- the (dilterent com- missioners, it is safe to predict that this petition will not be granted, and that the road trom Haskell to Lake Lonsale Oct 21 and 22 and good L GG continie 1o b the estab: ni;:ln of the 28th.

The mayor, in a few well-ordered | words, bid the iation welcome Response by the president. First in order was the call for the reports of the several committecs. Then new HER business was taken up. Several | topics were discussed, the one most importance being the county ownership of road right of ways in order to do away with so much re- moval of ronds at so great an ex- pense to the taxpayers. It was agreed that the Club louse should have the association the first Wednesday in November, at 2 p. m | Much interest was manifested at this meeting by parties not residing in the triangle. Several new members were added to our number, and aft- er adjournment a good dinner was scrved by the Board of Trade, which was enjoyed by all. After dinner an automobile drive for all who coulq stay to enjoy it. We will long re- | menrber those good people of | l tow. especially the Board of Trade | for their kind hospitality to us. ‘ The sudden change in the weath. ! and conditions has given mnew life| te our energetic, progressive citizens. Our little town is doing a good busi- ness. Four stores and a meat mar- ket, and one of the best rural schools in Polk county, having four teachers ot the first class type, with a good attendance.

MORE OPPRESSION FOR THE DOWN-TRODDEN FARMER. S. Hagan hands us the clip- ping holow from the Richmond (Ky.) Register. For this little bunch of cattle this farmer received the neat sum of $14,000: “Mr. James B. Parkes, of Kings- ton, sold last week to Simon Weil cne hundred 1.600-pound cattle at £5 per hundred, to be delivered Nov. 1. This is a record price for cattle in Madison county and possib’y tre highest ever paid for a bunch cf cat- Mr. J. ltk\ in the State.”
