Our First Birthday With the issue of today The Telegeam begins the second year of s ! cxistence, One year ago today, aga.ngt the advice of somoe of our hes: | friends, and, we confess, with some misgivings on our part, we launched | a daily paper In Lakeland. Day afterday since that time, we have tolg the story of the progress, current happenings, social and business life of this community, fairly, fully, truthfully and impartially. The year just Passed has been the year of Lakeland's greatest growth and expansion. While we are not so vain as to claim great credit for this advancement, we believe it will be admitted that the daily paper has contributed as much as any other single factor. It is in ng selt-\auntlng spirit that wa repeat w Liat has been 8o often stated during the past Year. particuliarly by visitors, and by the press of this and other States~that no town in th. country of double the popu lotion has a more creditable newspaper than Lakeland. It is the largest Florida daily published® outside t! o fow big sea-coast cities; it is the only newspaper in the interior of Florida carrying Associated Press dis- patches; and we believe thut no sacrifice of modesty is involveq in the statement that in its general service, in all departments- local, editoril and social it fills its mission to the satisfaction. of the people of this community. And it is upon this satisfactory The paper is inne service alone that it has attempted sense an Corgan;' it is absolutely and free to advocate the things that may seem best for the community, or to condemn things liortful, without let or hindrance from any source. It has the confidence ol ity readers, hecause it bag never de- ccived them ar misrepresented thinss to them. It's motte has been, “De- liver the goods.” That it has livedup to it is evidenced by the fact that the paper is taken and read and pail for by %0 per cent of the families of this community, and that it seldori loses a subscriber other than by death or removal. During the year its circulation has inereased threefold, and it now enjoys a very creditable advertising patronage. The responsiveness exist- ing between the paper and the realee renders it peculiarly valuable to tle advertiser, whose experience with it as a medium for obtaining re- sults has, without exception, been most gratifying. | L.ess than eight years ago the proprictor of the Telegram enteres the newspaper field in Lakeland. Thore was turned over to Lim a s four-page weekly, from which the present daily and weekly have be evolved. There was one stand of type and a negro-power press, fro.. which the present modern mecchavical plant has been built up. An azed, partially paralyzed printer and a little boy was the “force;"” now there are twenty people on the payroll, including some of the most skillful work- men in the State. Then our expensc for labor would have been covered by $50 a month; now the single item of labor approximates $1,000 monthly. This growth has been acmmpninhed by unremitting toil, by an am- bition to build up an institution crcditable te the community, and, per- haps, by some aptitude for the newspaper business on the part of thosc who directeq the enterprise. But the:c things, indispensable as they ar:, would have been powerless to produce such results without the respon- siveness and co-operation of the gencrcus and pablic spirite1 peonle who to build a sucecess, independent, kave put their shoulder to the wheel and made Lakelard a + where big things are beginning to be the order. We have ber 1bl to put .. | Peart into our work because we have lived among u peop: . wh in our struggles for our own and the com munity’s betterment l e 2r been generous in sympathy anq in material assistance. We believe in Lakeland--and in attempting to give hq | hih paper at a time when the success of such a ventu: i problematic, we have demonstrated our faith by our works. Je bel! that her record of progress, splendid ag it has been, is only n earnest of the much greater things the next few years have in store for hes. And, as in the past, always wo wiil strive to be found in the forefront Icf the onward mareh, striking a blow for the right, and for the thin~g thn¢ j make for progress; meanwhile feeling that we mizht amend the Ineand | we have been carrying at the head of this paper the past vear, g that it “Publisheq in tho best town, in th» bee State, and amon, 'thehutmpicntho:loho" : roxe reditable s hivh'y @ v b st o ) » DYNAMITE PLANS' SEA AND LAND { failure to roceive a majority | didats the next week will be only a LUTHERNS ELEG . the year the next president of | s oSl Wires g2 L) - NING TELEGRAM Published in the Best Town in the Best Part of the Best State.
