A weekly newspaper giving a resume; o local matters, crop condmonl.l zoanty affairs, etc. Sent anywhere' wr $1.00 per year. | A contempoary refers to the the “Lakeland Telegraph.” Please” don’t. A newspaper hag a prejudice ! in favor of being hailed by its prop- er name just as a man has. vl rieies Colonel John Seely of the British army has aroused much comment in England because of his statement ; ‘that married soldiers are more cour- ‘ageous than the unmarried ones. Here's a chance for the cheap cynic to remark that there’s nothing etrange in that, as the husbands ail had training in war before they en- listed. PRI el Champ Clark is almost sure to be the speaker of the next House as a majority of the re-elected Democrats | are already pledged to him. He rich-| 1y deserves the honor for he mlde: an admirable speaker during the| last long and trying session. of Con-‘ grees and he is one of the big, strong dependable men, not only of the' Democratic party, but of the whole country. Even though he doesn't‘ love William Jennings Bryan, his' affections having been alienated by @ little episode at the Baltimore con- vention, he i a tower of strength in the Democratic party and in these parlous times we need such stalwart ! personalities as his to give us good cheer and faith in the future. Champ will probably never be president as the next term is reserved for Wiood- row and predictions beyond thnt! date are too uncertain, but neltheri Clay nor Webster, nor Calhoun, nor Blaine, nor Bryan ever reached the' pesidency and their fame is no whit lesg because they didn’t. —_—_— New currency under the federal reserve law is already in circulation, the words ‘“Federal Reserve Note” appearing in quotations on the basa of each note. Inside the border is a | | picture of Abraham Lincoln. In oth- I/ er respects the new bills differ little from the old ones. We are now ready to accept thig currency at 100 cenis on the dollar at these headquarters, and those who know themselves to be indebted to the Telegram could not do a more graceful act than to come forward and settle up with these new notes, thus making the liquidation specially memorable on both sides of the counter and testi- fying to a quick appreciation of the invaluable public service of the great Democratic party which en- acted the law under which these noteg were issued. But in the ab- sence of the new notes the old ones will serve as well and there need be no postponement of the little trans. action, waiting for the former to come to hand. All real money looks alike to us in matters of this kina. B T — ‘W reproduce the following from a orida exchange, the name of which we fail to remember, because we want to aid in giving the widest publicity to a condition, which, if true, ought to be remedied right away. Every hotel and boarding house in Flfrida ouzht, of course, to serve oranges and grapefruit every day in season and on every railroad train in the State where there is a dining car such fruit should be 2 part of the bill of fare. Wi should make the most of our home market, for it would add very materially to the sum of our prosperity. In Cali- fornia great quantities of her fruits are thus marketed and in every hotel | secretary Epaminondas Perkins, postmaster at Pinecastle, the latter a village 1n Orange county, was the altiterative Ariumph achieved by the feurth: as- sistant postmaster general in a re- cent Florida appointment. * i AR Somehow we can never sharpen up our sympathy to a razor edge for those unfortunates who accidentally ! shoot themselves to death while “playing” with deadly weapons— showing off in smart aleck style. And as for the fellow who kills an- other by pointing an “‘empty” gun at him, our grief in every instance is profound because the wrong man was killed. oo CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR AND THANKSGIVING There are many friends who in. dividually will not receive one of cur Thanksgiving messages, so here it is quoted, especially for the edi- tors who have been kind to the press department thig year: “I awake this morning with de- vout Thanksgiving for my friends, the old, the new—" (and you). It is from the pen of Emmerson, years ago, but meang just what “Secretary Grace” feels Nov. 26, 1914. Miss Ruth Wwyandt, State Quiet Hour leader, has issued from her home at Lake Magdalene, near Tam- ra, the most complete winter's course of work and study for her department ever planned, probably in our state. Later we are going to €xplain it for the benefit of the read- ers of our newspapers. It is good for all Christians, even those not C. E. Much talk lately of conventions } in Lakeland. Hope there wil] be a C. E. one there again. The last Leesburg Commercial tells of the death of a useful man, Mr. C. T. Cookran. His daughter, Mrs. Henry T. Wirennick, of Lees- burg, was at one time an efficient Endeavor worker. We extend for the Sunshine department sympathy to Iher and the Presbyterian church of Leesbung, in which Mr. Cockran had served faithfully many years. The program committees for Jack. sonville and Daytona are busy now. They pian to make the interstate guest, Mr. Lehman, the foremost speaker, but will use home talent also. Mr. Lehman arrives in Jacksonville early Sunday morning, Dec. 6. Leaves on Monday forenoon for Daytona. Tuesday afternoon he arrives at Sanford in time to hold a rally that evening to which workers of South-central and Central district are cordially invited. Weednesday ev- ening Mr. Lehmann will meet with Southwestern district leaders in the C. E. stronghold, Tampa (where Lakeland workers are invited to the rally) . Thursday he goes to Jack- sonville, leaving Florida that night for Alabama. Geongia State Union ‘will have the famous fleld man but one day, and we have him five times as long. Count that among your Thanksgiving blessings. At Winter Garden, where we ought to have C. E. work again, the Methodists are wide-awake. Their Juniors had a Halloweeen social and among the good thingg to eat was pumpkin pie. Just imagine how pop. ular such socials must be with the little boys who attended. The Congregational Society at Mt, Dora contributed in eight ways for various benevolences. In the dis- trict year ending with the October convention at Tavares they gave a total of $33.25; also kept up the ev_ ening church services all summer when the pastor was away, and ac- complished many things for good of the community in social and other ways which will never be credited cn their secretary’s book.

POSITIVE PROOF Should Convince the Greatest Skep. tic in Lakeland Because it's the evidence of a Lakeland citizen. Testimony easily investigated. The strongest endorsement of merit. The best proof. Read it: S. H. Tidwell, E. Lemon St., Lakeland, says: ‘“‘Some time ago THE EVENING TALBGRAM, LAKE cn all the Pullman diners on the began to have trouble from my kid- Pacific coast the California citrus|neys.

Green sald this morn- ing: ‘‘l wish to state to the amusement lovers of Lakeland that the regular theatrica] season of 1914-15 will open tonight with the coming of “Stop Thief” in which Bert Leigh, Haze] Burgess and Ed Lawrence are featured. Every theater goer in Lakeland as well ag the whole of the South, knows the sterling qual- ity of this trio, and from all reports “Stop Thief” is the best all around play these stars have appeared in yet. Had it not been for the Euro- pean war, Florida would have had the best theatrical season ever known, but the condition of affairs in Georgia and the Carolinas make it hard for the better road attrac- tiong to make their way through to our own State. Out of sixty-one at- tractions that I had booked for this l'season, twenty-seven of them have -already cancelled their dates, but most of them want dates along in March and April. I trust the amuse- ment lovers of Lakeland will patron- ize all of these big shows in good shape for big houses through Flor- ida encourage the best New York at- tractions to veénture into our State. | We will have at least forty-five big road shows this season and every one of them have my personal guar.l antee. I want to take this chance to | thank the theater goers of Lakeland for the liberal patronage at the Au-; aitorium all this past summer and to assure them it is appreciated. We are striving to make Lakeland one of the best show towns in the State and with that idea in mind we book nothing but the best.” —_—— BAPTIST B. Y. P. U.
