I reelize that a good manny peeple has likely been astin about me all though noboddy has sayed annything to me about Why haint 1 been writin. You aint asted me ether but I will now ex- splane. It has been on account of the war. 1 knowed everybuddy was wating to heer my vews on the sub- jeck of the war and 1 haint so far been able to get anny vew on the war. Some timeg I think I have just about got a vew an then some thing happens to upset it, an 1 have to start to work on a nother vew and £0 it goes from day to day. An that is how it is. 1 want you to put in your papper why I haint exspressed any vews on the war and tell folks that as soon as I get a vew I will be only to glad to tell what that there vew is. At the pressent time my mind is all took up with things here in Lakeland, and we had all ought to take warnin from the war. Castin our eyes acrost the sees, we can see what comes of lettin humen beins et all riled up. They aint nothin mor> costly than lettin your feelins run away with your hed. They aint annyboddy rich enough that he can afford to let hisself gel mad to the pint of losin his holt on his rees- en. 't costs a feller time, and helth and welth and frends to let loose of his senses. Tt is all right for n man to get interested enough to speek his mind when the occassion calls for the same. A man's feel- ins is like a steem enjine, which is a good servent but a poor master as the sayin is. Then agin, if a good, cnest, sen- sible man was to loose his temper for oncet or twict ana was to say a lfo\\' things which he don’'t meen as bad as they sound, other folks had ouzht to be willin to overlook such things. We are none of ns perfeck and this idee had ought to be took into considderation. fake me the other day. That there yaller rooster of ourn got out of the chicken yard and into the strawberry pateh where I just got the new plants sot ont, fan what does he do, but eo seratch- ing around looking for worms, just like some peeple in this tewn, whirh is willing to seratch up the eenerel publick's strawberry patch sost they can get a few worms for their own throtes—you understand what I am drivin at, 1 hope, in spite of time tellin about this rooster be- cause I haint hardly got time to say what T started out to say, but at anny rate, let us curb our angry feelins, and let us allow good onest men, which has saw the citty safely through the most tryin time of her history the privilege of makin one or two mistakes in the heet of the moment, an let us be mild and fer- giving and respeckfull to wards all the good onest men which 18 walkin accordin to their lights and which are brave enough and big enough to come out and say they have now got a nother light, when such is the case, and let us not allow anybody which has served the town well and faithefull to resine and qait under a feelin of faleure and defect, There- fore, let us not sit down peesefull and let our strawberry patch— meening publick affares, you better explane what I meen—be upset and kept in termoil by any dog-gone setfi of— set of—set of chickens.

We admit there is \room for criticism on some lines. I\\'o are not without fault. But we 1are willing to take good advice from {all comers, as we are trying to make Lakeland a model city, as we he- lieve we are doing, and we only ask the hearty co-operation of all that come among us. The liberal think- ing man of Lakeland has obliterated the Mason and Dixon line. The lan- guage of our *Citizen” would sound better if more considerate. We ask the hearty co-operation of all. There is neither Yank nor Reble in Lake- ,land, as we have outlived the war | of '61 and today we have hundreds | of northern people among us that are here to stay and as good citizens ! as we have. So let us work to the end to make Lakeland the best town | in Florida and h~= people among the best. Live the o« rule, “He that is without fault, lel him cast the first E-Yah! Hughie Jennings Gets that Royal Tailored Look HEN Nature's ground- keeper, Mr. Jack Frost, locks up the baseball parks for the winter—he locks up Hughie Jennings, too. Gone are the autumn leaves, gone the gentle zephyrs of summer —and gone the merry pop bottle and Hughie Jennings. But in Hjughie's place ap- pears the honorable and dig- nified Hugh Jennings, of Scranton, Pa.--attorney-at-law, business man, real estate own- er, capitalist and Royal Tail- ored Man! The world respects Hughie as one of the greatest dia- mond-generals is has ever seen. But Scranton respects Hugh as a gentleman, a finan- cier, a swell dresser and a Royal Tailored Man! Hugh dresses the part of success off the ball field—be- cause he fills that part—brim- ful and over. Which is, Brethren, the main reason why Herr Jen- nings is a Royal Tailored Man. Hie carries the Million Dollar Look because he has earned it—and is entitled to it. Why We Enjoy Taking Measures for Royal Tailored Clothes The greatest joy in this. world lies in the joy of rend- ering real human service—of selling something better than anyone else can offer. This is neither wears nor wanes—and 1 ing after. We like to sell a service like Royal cause it sends people away hapy one kind of a good time that eaves no headache the morn- € Tailor Service be- pier than they came—and it makes a friend wherever it takes an order. Big men like Hugh Jennings and Hugh Chalmers do not wear the best merchant tailoring just to look pretty. They wear made-to-order custom clothes because such clothes are genuine, sincere and in keeping with high standards of indi- viduality. Any man to whom good loc money wearing Royal Tailored ks are an asset can make big Clothes. They bespeak style in the wearing and taste and discernment in the wearer. They are the most fashionable-looking world. Yet they cost but $16, $17, your order. clothes in the $20, $25, $30 and $35—cut to Walk Upstairs and Save $3.00 to $5.00 Phone 243§ 'Rooms 7 | Moore’s Little, Style Sho and 8} Elliston Building COMMISSIONER BUSSARD with the instructions given as it is well knewn the city does not have EXPLAINS ABOUT PAV- ING CERTIFICATES Eveninz Telegram: Please say to those people who are notilied about ' the street paving that all the certi- ' ficates have been bought by north-; the funds to meet the certificates.
