DRANE CHOSEN PRESIDENT LAKELAND CHAUTAUQUA' ASS'N In noting the annual meeting of the Lakeland Chautauqua Associa- tion held a few days ago, it was stated that all the old officers of the association were re-elected. Mr. H. D. Bassett, who has so ably filled the office of president for five years, decided that it would not be possi- ble for him to serve longer, and he therefore asked that his reuignnlon! be accepted. Accordingly, a meeting was held ! | yesterday in the office of G. C.! {Rogan, and the resignation of Mr.' Bassett was reluctantly accepted, a' junanimous vote of thanks be(nl:' LAST GAME TODAY: PLAYERS APPRECIATE TREATMENT ACCORDED THEM FINE By Robert E. Dundon.

A meting of the guarantors of the Lakeland Baseball Association was held in the Board of Trade rooms this morning, and the affairs of the baseball proposition were gone into, the accounts examined, etc. It was found that owing to the light at- tendance at the, games a deficit of about 65 per cent would have to be met. The guaraptors, of whom there were a, majoFity present, faced the situation very cheerfully, eacm expressing a willingness to come forward promptly with his share of the necessary assessment. All rec- ognize the fact that the unfavorable weather was alone responsible for the deficit, and ull feel that from an advertising standpoint the proposi- tion will pay handsomely. Col.

Baraca Social |8 Memorable Affair— i Last Friday evening the beautiful ,and ever hospitable home of “Uncle i Wes” McRae was the scene of one of the merriest gatherings of the season when the Young Men's Ba- raca Class of the First Methodist Church held its rofiulnr monthly so- cial. The night was superb in every respect. The air was fragrant with the odor of orange blossoms and in the mellow moonlight everything breathed the soft radiance of spring. As the guests entered they were ‘“‘held up” at the door by Mr. Bryan Wilson, who, armed with a cigar box, demanded a penny for each year of their age. It was an inter- esting fact to note that, while the young men’s ages averaged between sixteen and thirty_five, not a girl was present older than sixteen. Everybody at once threw formality to the four winds and proceeded to have a regular old-fashioned good time. In the handsome parlor many games were played, and the house resounded with laughter. Every- body seemed overflowing with the spirit of gayvety. While the parlor was well filled throughout the even- ing, to others the veranda offered more attraction where an inviting swing was much in demand. Dur- ing the evening many grouped in chorus around the piano and united their voices in song. However, the pleasure' of the occasion was not at all limited to music and moonlight for more substantial refreshmen§s in the form of ice cream and cake were bountifully served. Tt was the universal opinion that this social far outclassed all others previous in being a complete success in every de- tail but what makes this more en- couraging is the fact that the last social held is always considered the best, and Mr. Frank Thompson should be congratulated on having a class of such deserving young men.

Miss Mary Reynolds, niece of Miss Helen Cochrane, whg is a teacher in a New York boarding school, resents, and justly so, the impression north- erners throw out relative to the dia- lect of the southerners. Relative to how a southern girl talks. Miss Reynolds wrote the New York Times as follows: “This is a protest in the name of Southern girls generally against the way in which Miss Edith Taliaferro has delineated the type at the Palace this week. Her play has the charm and the sentiment of the South, but the ungrammatical, unrefined he-| roine is not Southern. Granted,' there is a certain dialect and manner of speaking connected with that sec- tion of the country. But cultured Southerners, and we take it Mary Davis is of that class, do not say ‘ain’t no’ and ‘we-all.’ They neither misuse the past tense of the verb do nor confuse the singular and the plural in the colloquialism ‘you all.’ Such a charming dialectal peculiarity as the Virginia pronunciation of the word ‘garden’ is omitted by Miss Taliaferro. The word occurs in the little play, hut"ghe pronounces it the usual way and neglects the opportunity to stamp herself as a true Virginian by saying ‘gu-ardin.’ “The way in which Miss Taliafer- ro acts gives the wrong impression. She has taken some Southern negro colloguialisms and tried to make them pass as the speech of a cul- tured Southern girl. And 1 saw more than one loyal Southerner in the audience show his indignation as the performance proceeded.” MARY REYNOLDS. New York, Maroh 17. RINEHARTS INTERESTED IN HARD ROAD TO KATHLEEN Mr. C. T.
