THE EVENING TALEGRAM, LAKELAND, FLA,, DEC.-ZG. 1914, Disastrous Fire Destroys Contents Of Bowyer Bldg. -The most disastrous fire Lakeland has had in a long time occurred to_ day about 12:15, which destroyed the contents of the.Savoy hotel and the Cagle-Newsome Furniture Co., In the Bowyer building, on Kentucky avenue, also totally destroying the fruit 'store of Theo. Apostalie ad- joining. At the time of going to press, the origin of the fire is not known, but it is thought to have caught in some excelsior in the rear of the furniture store. 2 ‘As usual the fire department re. sponded on quick time and worked valiantly and to good effect, but the flames had gained such neadway that it was a battle royal to get them un- der control, Mr. Lieurance, of the fire brigade, workea so strenuously ‘that he became overheated and came 'hear losing his life and but for the nulek medical assistance rendered .\ ife and child, of ‘him he would have succumbed. (., are holiday the guests of the -law, Mr. R. Cagle & Newsome, the furniture people are perhaps the heaviest los- ‘ers. g%%.%%@&é«b{fi":"h’@:fi Christmas Day in Lakeland much resembled an ideal day in May, the thermometer ranging close to 80, with a springtime feeling in the air, and flowers blooming on every lawn. The day was observed as one of rest and enjoyment, the stores being for the most part closed all day, after enjoying a splendid holiday trade. Peace and plenty were in evidence, with no sign of the hard times bug. a-boo. Many pleasant gatherings marked the advent of the glad season, most notable of these being the observances at the various cburches. The exercises and Christmas tree beld at the Lutheran church on Thursday evening were well attended The tree itself was beautifully dec- orated, and loaded with gifts for the children and friends of the Sunday school. The exercises by the chil, dren emphasized the wondrous fact of Jesus’ birth and the special exer- cise by six little girls, ‘‘Christmas Stars Are Shining,” remindeqd one of The dense smoke caused by | the guiding star of old that led the reacock has visited | the burning of a large amopnt of wise men to the manger in Bethle- times before, and [excelsior made it impossible to gain |bem.

After the customary religious service the rector assisted by Miss Mabel Drane, Miss Barclay and Mrs. Memminger, presented to each child a gift from the tree. A very pleas- ing feature of this entertainment was a reading by Miss Mabel Drane who held the children’s interest in the tale as few readers can do. Christmas of 1914 has passed, but has left, we trust, pleasant memories, Rev. R. Bolton and the children of the rectory will carry through the years memories of a Christmas of joy and gladness due in a great measure to the generosity of our chunrch friends in Lakeland. “The usual midnight service of the Hply Communion was held in the church and although at a somewhat unusual hour, was very weil attend- ed and much enjoyed by those who 4 WWWD@ ¥ How Christmas Was Spent In Lakeland carmarl L L Lol e P § Must Little Homeless Children Suffer In Florida?
