He left for the latter city at 8:25, but in the meantime his friends, of whom he has a number 12 Lakeland, became apprised of his presence, and he held quite a levee at the train for a short time before it departed. Mrs. George Evans, who resides on East Orange street, has two young Surinam cherry trees on her place, which are now laden with fruit, making a very attractive sight. Mrs. Evans brought a box of the cherries to this office, and they were unusu- ally fine. The Surinam cherry is a beautiful fruit, but it bas only a slight resemblunce to the cherry of the northern States, having an en- tirely different flavor, which is all its own. It grows to a considerable extent in the extreme southern part Go anything that savors in the least ¢. “class legisiation” and not for the geod of the people at large, know better. Every man who put a dollar into the Auditorium knew he could find 2 better investment for that dollar from a purely financial standpoint. If the Auditorium is not worth enough to the city to gt some con- cessions and some protection that will let it live, then the owners will Lave to look at it as a purely finan- cial problem ang solve it in the way that will bring in the most revenue for the investment, and turn over to the undertakers the once good, healthy, public spirit that was in the enrterprise. If the builders of the Auditorium were mistaken in believing that Lakeland would appreciate the best Auditorium in the State and do what Wwas reasonable to mainfain it, then there is nothing to do but to convert the building into something that will pay.

L They all wanted to get to Secre- tary Jackson's home town, for it was through Mr. Jackson’s boosting that Jacksonville was named the con- vention city for 1913. Mr. Jackson also arranged the trip through the Btate and they were all leager to see Lakeland. They anticipated being pleased, but when they left many were heard to exclaim: “Jackson didn’t tell us half. He’s a great man in a great town.” L] Here Is Our Proposition: No lottery, no scheme, just a plain business proposition. Lot is desirably located on corner, and well worth $300.

The Tampa Tribune says the Lake- | land Auditorium “is the pride of thcl State,” but the City Council has no | favors to grant it ndt concessions to make to it, esteeming it of less value to the city and “the whole peoplo" *Pub- | | than tent shows and street carnivals, for both of these may go to the rep- resentatives of the “whole people’ and be sure to get valuable conces- sions. Some tent shows are 8o valu- able to the community that they can set license at one-fifth the regulur price, and also put up a tent in the “fire limits” to do business in, but let any one of the thirty-five stock- Yiclders of the Avditorium undertake to do business in a tent in the fire iimits, and he will soon find out *ha the plain business man that puts ali Iof his muscle and brain and energy and money and life in the building !up of the town cannot do it, hecause | ke is not a traveling tent show, that l 14 such 2 help to the “whole people, 'especially in a financial way. Street carnivals are so valuable to the { “whole people” that the city actually went into partnership with them, which probably accounts for the fact that they could run a string of gam- bling booths, day after day and night | after night without molestation from | the city authorities. Paying for our new automobile fire truck, you know, and incidentally reducing fire insur- ance (perhaps)) and the morals of our boys (sure), and putting the Au- serious considerations of some con- cessions that were asked for. It would be interesting informa- tion to the public to know just how much the carnival paid on that $6,- 6500 automobile fire truck, also what assurance the city authorities have that the fire insurance rate will be reduced by this expenditure of the ¢ity’s money. Probably this is enough of enlight- ening the “Public’s Eye” for the present, since tent shows and carni- vals arc more valuable to the city thar the Anditorium.
