The paper of that place has the following to say of the deceased: Mrs. J. Jenkins Biunges passed away at her home on Saturday, Sept. 5, 1914, after a long illness of pernicious anemia. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. H. H. Wil- bur, of Parsons, Pa., assisted by Rev. L. E. Sanford, Monday at 2:30 p. m. Interment at Sunny- side cemetery. “Mrs. Brunges was the daughter of B. H. Brown and Sarah Hol- land, and was born in Bradford county. She came to 'Tunkhan- nock about twenty years ago and has won many friends through her sunny disposition and congeniality, who showed their sympathy by the profusion of flowers bestowed dur- ing her long and patient suffering and after her death. “Deceased was an active member of the M. E. church, D. A. R. and Monday Club, and the Grange, holding the office of Flora in the Pennsylvania State Grange. “‘Besides her husband, she is sur- vived by her father, one brother, John D. Brown; two sisters, Mrs. Ella Reed, of Lakeland, Fla., and Mrs. Lane T. Smith, of Bruin, Pa.” Mrs. C. C. Harper, of the Fort & W.son Co., Bartow, is in the city today on business. The Southeast Baptist Missionary Society will meet with Mrs. M. M. Fadely, 903 East Orange St., to- morrow afternoon at 4 o'clock. The Mizpah Circle will meet with Mrs. N. L. Bryan on South Mis- 'souri avenue tomorrow afternoon at 3:30. All members are cordially invited to attend. The Texas Quartette opened their engagement at the Auditorium last filled house and proved the best attraction Lakeland has seen in a long time. The boys all have splendid voices and their harmony singing brought them en- 'core after encore. Novelties were in- -troduced brim full of comedy, es- 'pecially the female impersonation of one of the members, which evoked screams of laughter. The Texas Quartette will be here all this week and we advise those who enjoy a good, wholesome entertainment not to miss this chance. [Fort & Wilson, of Bartow, will have on display at the Hotel Kibler Sept. 16 and 17, a showing of the new styles and fabrics in coat suits, dresses, evening gowns, waists, skirts, etc. Mrs. F. M. Say and Mrs. Dietrich, of the Fort & Wilson Co., will be in charge of the exhibition. A cordial invitation is extended to tne ladies of Lakeland and vicinity to call and inspect this beautiful and seasona- ble line. 3155 THL ovENING TELEGRAM LAK Good Roads Boosters |Lakeland Plays At Fort Meade Tomorrow The locals go to Fort Meade for a game tomorrow, and on Thursday Fort Meade comes to Lakeiand for a return game. Several machines filled with enthusiastic rooters will 20 down to the game tomorrow and those who do not will be found at the Auditorium, where for the tenth part of a dollar one can follow each play on the electric diamond. 1t is understood that a new sched- ule is to be made up for the remain- der of the season, which will allow Lakeland the opportunity. of meet- ing Tampa more frequently--a great pleasure which so far has been de- nied us. On account of having played Fort Meade so frequently the game Thursday will probably be the last Lakeland will play with this club during the present series. Dade City arranged for a game and is playing here today, but, of course, this game is independent of the league. Discouraging News For The Pessimist The secretary of the Board ot Trade refers to some news items of today which may cause the pessi- mist to worry, as follows: [First—"“The first shipment of dye-stuffs from Germany since the beginning of the war arrived in New York Sept. 7, it was learned today, on the ship Rotterdam. The shipment consisted of 250 packages and will be used in relieving the re. ported shortage in the hands of the cotton weavers." Second—*“Within a few hours af- ter the board of estimate and appor- tionment in the city of New York had adopted a plan for the city to borrow $100,000,000 with which to pay off in gold a foreign indebted- ness of approximately $80,000,000 and other maturing debts, J. P. Morgan & Co. and Kuhn, Loeb & Co., syndicate managers of the loan, turned over to the city cham- berlain a check for $100,166,617. As the loan is of Sept. 1, the extra $166,617 represents interest accru- ing since that date. Banks and trust companies in Greater New York subscribed $98,778,357, in- cluding the interest, which left only about $1,386,000 to be tuken by the syndicate managers.” Third—Speaking of the ‘prosper- perity” gathering proposed by Perry Wall, of Tampa, for this section, a Dr. SAMUEL F.

Vote to be Made Sept. 21 The recount of votes in the coun- ty treasurer’s contest, and the hear- ing of evidence in the same, will be held at Bartow next Monday, begin- ning at about 9:30 o'clock. The commission appointed by Judge Whitney for this purpose is com- posed of M. F. Hetherington, of Lakeland; W. M. Grier, of Bartow, and A. L. Cleveland, of Fort Meade. All parties at interest are notified of the hearing and invited to be on hand. The contestants are E. J. Youngs and Werner G. Jones. The former will be represented by Dickenson & Dickenson, of Tampa; the latter by Judge W. S. Preston. e ———— prominent South Florida newspaper says: There is no need for the pros- perity meeting at this time to stim- ulate those whose backbone has jel- lied into a wishbone; it is needed to let each section of South Florida know that the other section is strongly fortified against disaster; that the credit of South Florida is stable; that this is to be the most prosperous summer that the State ever had.” Fourth—*“The city council of Tar- pon Springs, Fla., held a special meeting Thursday night which re- sulted in the disposal of the bonds for municipal improvements at par. The issue is for $80,000. The coun- cil made further arrangements with the buyers whereby they ~an proceed at once in making the proposed im- provements.” NOTICE TO PERSONS INDEBTED FOR STREET PAVING All persons obligated to the city for paving the streets abutting their property are notified that the coupons representing one-fifth of said indebtedness are now in the hands of the city treasurer, and that payment for said one-fifth of the indebtedness aforesaid MUST BE MADE prior to Sept. 21, 1914, as further time positively cannot be granted. This obligation was due on Sept. 1, and the credit of the city must be preserved. Pay at city hall and your coupon will be srrrendered to you. 0. M.

Holworthy Chal- lenges Kansas Knock- er to Prove Assertions Lakeland, Fla., Sept. 14, 1914. To the Editor of the Topeka, Kan., Capital: A copy of your interesting paper dated June 29th, has reached this office in which under the caption: “Two Crops in Florida” appears a letter signed Dr. W. G. Martin, which is such a complete misrepre- sentation of facts that I am sure you will allow space for this brief reply. Florida is becoming so well and generally known that it is not necessary for me to reply to such foolish statements as that it “is a vast expanse of sand, and in some places water-—that there is no sizn of habitation after leaving the sub- urbs of a town until you reach the next, and that grasses do not grow to any extent,” or to reply at length to that part of the letter devoted to a conversation between the doctor and the elderly gentleman he picked up in the court house squarec. The concluding words of the let- ter are so grossly untrue that I will give you some figures from the rail- road reports as to shipments of Florida products during the three months ending with the date of your paper containing this outrag- | eous epistle, which of ought to be sufficient to prove falsity of the statements in Martin’s letter: 2,119 carloads of fruit. 300 carloads of lettuce. 1,634 carloads of celery. 4,194 carloads of other bles. 210 carloads of strawberries. 2,138 carloads of potatoes. 979 carloads of pineappics. 3,167 carloads of watermelons, 329 carloads of cantalonpes. This is eqial to 525 trainloads of 40 cars to the train. Pardon the broad assertion, but the above statement, which can bhe verified by the reports of the rai- roads in the State, gives the lie to Mar- that Dr. —tourists and oranges — and that there is no money in oranges. The Lakeland Board of Trade of- fers the following challenge in re- ply to Dr. Martin’s letter. Topeka Capital, Let the and two other equally prominent and reputable newspapers, appoint a commission to inquire into the truth of statements made, and if the commis- sion on thorough inspection shall find the statements made in Dr. Martin’s letter true, the Board will pay all the expenses of the commis-; sion, otherwise, let Dr. Martin pay the bill himself, and tender an am- | ple apology to a State he so ruth- lessly attempts to malign.

THE RIGHT KIND OF PUBLIC SPIRIT Kditor Telegram: When Mr. Skipper and the Americar State Bank proposed to lend $10,000 to the city of Lakeland to keep its honor intact, it did great credit to the citizens should and do most highly appreciate. It was this public spirit that made Atlanta loom up as one of the most magnificent cities of the South. The capitalists of Atlanta were always ready to lend a helping hand to boost their city, and now she can boast of about 200,000 inhabitants, which had only 28,000 in i872. It we could only get one or two more railroads to touch cur city. we do not see why we should not become the important gate city of South Florida. This cannot be brought too often and too promi- nently before the citizens of these. United States, where all eyes are turned toward the Peninsular State. CITIZEN.
