The forecast is for unsettled weather, which is a pretty safe bet. Postmaster John Odum, of Har- risburg, T11., who spent several days here recently, writes that he re- turned home- and found ten inches of snow on the ground and zero weather. His only regret is that he can't backtrack to Lakeland where it is “so much pleasanter and healthier.” A meeting of the creditors of the Williamson Clothing Co. was held yesterday in the office of Rogers & Spencer, T. M. Shackleford, referee in bankruptey, presiding: It is es- timated that the creditors will re- ceive 25 to 30 per cent of their claims. Mrs. Lester Béllamy, of Belmont, N. Y., who spent the winter here three vears ago, was in Lakeland this morning, having come down from Orlando to spend a few hours here.

Miley Those who attended the Evange- Jljstic services at the First Presby.- terfan church last night had their hearts stirred and softened by Dr. iley's excellent sermon. Christ was shown to be a worthy example for us in many ways. Especially was this 8o in the matter of church at- tendance and in forgiveness. Christ * found hypocrits in the leaders and corruption i{n the tem- ple. Yet his custom of church at.. tendance was strictly adherred to. A large part of his teaching, his prayers and his parables dealt with the subject of forgivemess. If a man from his heart forgives not those who in imagination or reality injure him, he has no promise that God shall forgive him. rning At the close of the sermon a large There will be a called meeting of |number of hearers went forward and Friday Musicale tomorrow |gave the minister their hand, thus morning at 10 o'clock | publicly reconscrating their lives to A large number re.
