Rev.,F¢ H. Callaban last night received the sad news of the death of his youngest sister, Mrs. Maude Roberson, which occurred at her home in Fulton, Ky., yesterday af. ternoon.

Y., who have been stoppfng at the Kibler Hotel and also visiting friends on Lake Hol- lingsworth, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Morris, left today for St. Peters- burg.. It was their intention to lo. cate in St. Petersburg but they were so taken up with our pretty little city trat they expect to come back and spend the winter here. Each incoming train North brings between forty and fitty winter visitors to Lakeland, and each morning and afternoon they may be seen strolling over the city and enjoying themselves gener. ally. They gather in the park and form acquaintances with those from their own and other States, and at the same time enjoy the lovely sur- roundings and the fine weather. To~ day has been ani deal Florida win. ter day, which demonstrates to the visitors that we can have nice days, the rainy weather of the past week having given way to bright sun. shine and glorious weather gener- ally. from the Mrs. Rebeccah Henderson, of the rescue and orphanage work, Is meet . ing with much encouragement in her wofk here and will speak again Sunday morning at the Christian church.

All men who have enlisted or intend to do so are required to be present as the full company of 65 men must be present in order to be mustered in tonight.

The Lakeand girls, led by the in- vincible Elizabeth MeHarg, have the distinction of never having been de- feated, and it’s a cinch that more than one Ruskin player will find out that Florida has ag good athletes as any State and that Lakeland boasts the best high school basketball team in this State.
