We speak of Win. ston Smith, the 11-year-old delivery boy of the Western Union Telegraph office. Yesterday being a holiday, both telegraph offices were closed last night, and the Lakeland correspond- ent of the Times-Union, desiring to ‘Il ln wire a 300-word story of the Labor day exercises to that paper, was un- able to find any of the operators. The message was finally turned over to a delivery boy of the Postal, who promised to locate an operator. He found this to be an impossibility and had given up the ‘search, when he ran across young Smith, who se. cured the story, unlocked the West- ern Union office, called Jacksonville, TELEGRAM, ing Kissimmee girl, 18 in the city | ang himself, a child of only eleven the guest of Miss Suella Groover.| years of age, sent the message click- Miss Groover and Miss Makinson | jng over the wires to its destination. were classmates at Brenau and they | we hold that a boy of such tender are both enjoying the opportunity to | years who has the ability to accom- renew old times and Miss Groover is | pijsh a difficult feat of this kind, and .

No matter where one travels, there are always to be found people who have heard of Lakeland if they've heard of Florida at all. “For enter- prise, push, hustle and progress, that town of Lakeland has the rest of the State beat a mile,” is what they all say, and that reputation is being daily borne out in the continyal de- velopment that is to be noted on every hand. Tt's almost a daily oc- currence to hear of a new business house being projected, while new residences are continually going up, | property changing hands, improve- ments in all directions being made, "and the city generally heading for I the goal set by the capable Board of | Trade seeretary 000 in 1915, yif The corner stone of the Elliston building, which is being altered and improved, was opened this morning, fand in it was found a copy of the Lakeland News of the issue of April [ 29, 1904, being at that time under the management of Mr. R. R. Tom. !'lin. Tt was four pages, with display | ads on the front page, while the main reading matter related to the desires of the various candidates to serve the “dear peepul.”” Stockton was, as usual, running for the U. S. Senate; Mr. Drane and Gov. Trammell were going after votes for the State Sen- ate; H. K. Olliphant and Solon Wil- | son were each trying to be prosecut- ' ing attorney, and Prof. R. Y. Wal- | den and the late S. S, Niblack were ! asking for the office of county school | superintendent. Mr. Elliston on Thursday will acain seal up the cornerstone, and this time it will contain the latest copy of the Lakeland News and the | Lakeland Evening Telegram, in ad- dition to the paper above referred to. As already demonstrated, these pa. pers are read with great intarest in after years. BALL GAME RESULTED INATIE, 7T07 A large crowd witnessed the game of ball yesterdzy between Lakeland and Mulberry, the score resulting in a tie, 7 to 7. At the end of the ninth inning the game was called on account of darkness. DPoth sides m'\\od fine ball and the larze crowd’s | only regret was the fact that the game had to be called before the tie | was broken. who has the interest of an institu- tion’s business so much at heart, will succeed in any line of endeavor to which he may aspire, and young Smith has the Evening Telegram's congratulations. FLORIDIANS MADE GOOD IN NATIONAL SHOOT Local members of the National Guard of Florida were very much gratified yesterday to hear of the splendid shooting of the Florida rifle team in the national match on the B, $200 in cash, and finishing ahead of twenty-six States. Florida's to- tal score was 2,008 and the team moved up from Class C to Class I There are several new men on the Florida team this year, and one of them, Sergt. Roy Holmes, Company G, Second infantry, of St. burg, was high man on the Florida team when the match was concluded. There was a time, and not so very long ago, when Florida trailed along at the foot in the national matches, but for the past several years the Floridians have been climbing up the ladder and their work this year placeg them among the crack shots of the country. There are several Jacksonville men on the Florlda team this year. The Times.Unlon was in receipt of a telegram from Capt. Cramer B. Potter of St. Petersburg yesterday morning, which stated that the Floridians were jubilant over the standing of their team, and especially the excellent work of Sergt. Holmes. After the match was over the Floridians left on an ex cursion to Niagara Falls. They will return to the State in a few days. —Times-Union. NEW DRESS MAKING PARLORS Mr. U. G.

The i order s as follows: Office of Fourth Assistant Postmas. | ter General, Washington, Aug. 26, 11913: The attention of postmasters u(l | rural delivery offices and of rural | carriers is again directed to the fact that rural carriers are not required | to collect loose coins from rural mail boxes. Patrons should enclose coins in an envelope, wrap them securely | in paper, or deposit them in a coin- holding receptac'e so they can be easily and quickly taken from boxes, | and carriers will be required to lift such coins and, when accompanicd by mail for requisite stamps. Carriers who lift coins not so enclosed, wrapped, or deposited, will do so purely as a mat- ter of accommodation and not by any direction or requirement of the de- partment. Postmasters should give this notice as much publicity as pos- sible without causing any expense to the department. (Singed) JAS. A.

She will v» ably as- sisted by Miss Lessie Trammell. On account of the warm weather that will doubtless prevail through Sep. tember, many of the patrons have asked that she defer the opening of her school until October, hence the reason of this announcement. Any one who desires to have their chil- dren enter the first term should call phone 50 and all information will be given. Patrons can rest assured that this school will have ample room and provisions made for teach- ing either the regular kindergarten work or the first and second grades.
