B, Brossier becomes business manager and part owner of that paper, leaves Joe Hugh Reese as editor, for he is too good a man to lose from Flor- ida journalism. A smooth and silk- en piece of goodg is Joseph when he grasps hig trusty faber and sits down to fill up the columns of a newspaper. —_— In discussing the members of the Florida secession convention the Ocala Banner referg to one of them, General Albert Sidney Joinson, as being of northern birth, and the Tampa Times replies that it had never heard that Kentucky, where General Johnson was born, was a northern State. The matter i8 teasily settled. General Johnson was born in Kentucky, but both his parents were from New England, a section which for more than a cen- ‘tury past hag been contributing good blood in greater or less degree to every part of the republic. e (et From far-off Michigan comes the following note of good cheer from one who knows, which hits right here in Polk county like a pleasant love-tap. Says the Jackson Patriot, of that State: {‘Already trains going to Florida are crowded with passengers, and will be to the very end of the win- ter.-season. This will mecan mil- lions of dollarg to the transportation lines leading from the North and its wintry blasts to that land of sun- shine and citrus fruits and flowers, and many more millfons of dollars to those who transact business in that State. Detroit parties, who have recently visited that locality, are making arrangements to live I tents until houses can be built, in the beautiful highland lake region of Crooked Lake, in Polk county, where every prospect pleases and the climate is more genial than that of Italy, with the ocean or gulf breezes watted daily over the southernmost land of the United States. Florida nwill be, first of all desirable sum- merlands in America, the beneficiary of the travel which war has cut oft from the nations of Europe, and the watering places of Asia and Africa. It is easy of access and one of the . healthiest regions of the globe."” —_— DE DOESN'T SEEK TO DIVIDE THE PARTY Bro. Adamg of the Zolfo Trutn says that we got him down wrong In inferring from an article in his pas pér that he wanted to divide the Democracy of Florida and make two parties in this state. He sets him- self right in the following: “Neither the Zolfo Truth or its editor advocates a division of the Democratic party. The editor of the Truth has been a lifelong Demo- crat, always supporting and voting for the party and its principles. What the Truth did advocate was the withdrawal of those who are masquerading as Democrats and the formation of another political party by that faction. For the last fifteen years Florida has been receiving ‘in vast numbers settlers frcm other States, a majority of whom, per- haps, have been affiliated with the Republican, Socialist, Bull Moose, or some other political party. When they reach Florida they all become “Democrats,” or call themselves such. They haven't the nerve to stick to their political principles, but in order to maintain a certain degree of popularity cast their lot with the majority. While there are | no vital issues at stake in this State just at the present moment, the time l is not far distant when such issues' will come up, and it is our belief | that such issues would be more ably handled were there two political parties. At any rate, a sccond par- ty, showing any degree of mennh.l would keep the dominant party nearer to the paths of virtue than it will stay if left as it is.” Commissio;ler ! From Ward 1 tobe Elected Tomorrow On account of Mr. J. E. Bussard having tendered his resignation as city commissioner, effective Jan. 1, an election has been called for to- morrow to elect a commissioner from Ward one. The election will te participated in only by voters living in this ward, and the election will be held at the city hall. The only announced candidate is Dr. W.. S. Irvin, and this gentleman’s name will appear on the ticket tomorrow. 0. J. Pope and L. E. Ellis will be inspectors and B. H. Belisario clerk of the election. Judge L. Wi. Cowdery and fam- ily, who have been spending several months in Asheville, N, C., are now at Carrollton, Ga. . The regular meeting of the etail Grocers’ Association will be held at the city hall Tuesday at 7:15 p. m. Let every grocer please take note and make it convenient to be there. Miss Lillie Mag McIntyre who has been at Telfair hospital, Savannah, for some weeks, where she under- went an operatiof and has been in a very serious condition, arrived home today. Though still enfeebled from her illness, she is rapidly im- proving, and it i8 hoped she will speedily have made entire recovery. AT THE FIRST METHO- DIST CHURCH Yesterday was among the best of many good days at this church. First of the day opened with the Bible school, registering an enroll- ment of 436 in the regular school, 65 in the home department and 43 on the cradle roll, making an in- crease of nearly 100 per cent for the year to date. . At 11 o’clock the pastor preached on the ‘“Mission of the Spirit” to a large and attentive audience that considerably more than filled the auditorium. At night his sermon to men as heard by a great crowd that occupied every avaliable seat, while 100 or more persons were not able to gain admittance at all. The pastor and hig peorle have abundant cause for congratulations on the substantial growth and great promise of thig church.

PRINCESS LOUISE AND HER GR® THE EVENING TALEGRAM, LA Boardof Tradeis Bringing Many To Lakeland “What is the Board of Trade do- ing?” is a question which is perti- nent even though the evidence of the Board’s activity is manifested in the progress of the town, which ac- tivity is not the result of accident. The hundreds of people in town to- day, and those yet to arrive during the next few months, have not and will not come as the result of mere faccident or because they have to ;:ome to Lakeland but because Lake- land through her board of Trade has been systematically and persistently going after these people for some time past, endeavoring, through literature and convincing corre- spondence, to show to them that this is the section which has splen- did opportunities to offer them in the way of home and investment. The fruits of this work are being borne daily, as can be testified by those who are in touch with the sit- uation, but some of them are to hand this morning and are being taken up by the secretary today. It may not be amiss to quote from some of these letters receltved in this morning’s mail, and all bearing the dates of the past two or three days: ‘“Have received your booklet and interesting letter, also several copies of the Lakeland News, for which I thank you. Am pleased with your description and wil]l leave for Lake- land last of next week.” E. G. C., Manchester, N. H. ‘“Have just received and read, from cover to cover, with interest, your pamphlet about Lakeland. I want to know more about your sec- tion as to land values. My purpose is to secure about 40 acres of land upon which I may grow citrus ‘fruits, etc. I also want to be near a city about the size of Lakeland. I hope to visit you soon and want to get all the information I can before starting, and should I locate in your city or community 1 should wish to ‘become personally identified with the progressive and constructive ele- ment and help so far as possible in the upbuilding of the country. Have always lived here and could be in- strumental in bringing a number of good people to that section should I decide to locate there.” C.-C. P., Dillon,- Montana. “Thanking you for your kindness, I may eay that I am thinking of .purchasing 50 acres of land in your neighborhood and would like know something definite about the quality end value of the land.” J. P. B., Galesburg, Ill. “I thank you for your interesting ; information and will you please give me some further information as I de. | side to establish a permanent home in your section and would like a list of suitable places for sale.” W. O. B., Elmira, N. Y. “Thank you for your letter. T am | in the notion of buying 15 acres of grapefruit land and would give $80 per acre. .Thh land must be on a lake, with a frontage of not less than 300 feet; there must be good | bathing and fishing, and not over three miles from your city. Have ‘ym anything to offer? I am a mem- | ber of the Board of Trade of this city.” J. E. W., Terre Haute, Ind. “Thank you for bringing your city to my attention. I have become interested in it to such an extent that if what I read is true I would like to go down there and make my lhome. Now, if you would enlighten me more about it I would be grate- ful.” D. H. Toronto, Canada. And vet the Board of Trade has to beg from time to time for the in- terest and support of those who are every day being materially beneiit- ted by the results of just such worl as this. Every hive has its drones who live on the activity of others, but who wants to be a drone? — FOR RENT—<Cottage: on South Florida avenue, one mile from postoffice. 1.
