A new townsite ‘has been estab- lished on the East and West Coast railway, to be known as Myakka it has been established by the Myakka Fruit Farms Company, and already has a populatiom of about 200. The “drying up” process in the matter of booze is by no means con- fined to the South. There were local ‘option elections in many parts of the Northwest yesterday and the gemeral trend seemed to be in favor of the In Michigan fourteen coun- Deliveted anywhers within * the ties out of sizteen voted to abolish limits of the City of Lakeland for 19 eents a week. & From the same office is issued THE LAKELAND NEWS, A weekly newspaper giving a resume | of local matters, crop conditions, | county affairs, etc. Sent anywhere for $1.30 per year. 1 | HE FAILS TO FIND THEM Speaking of hard times, which Iti has become a fixed habit with some | people to talk about as a pet theory | of theirs which they are always seeking an opportunity to expound, elucidate and elaborate, what's the | matter with the following which we | found in the Jacksonville Metropolis | of Saturday: “If there are hard times under the | Wilson administration, I have failed | to find them,” said Edward D. Eas-| ton, a prominent business man of New York, in an interview here to- day. “I have never found business 20 good. I have voted the Republican ticket all my life, but my hat's off to Wilson. He is without doubt the greatest president we have ever had. Business men should stop howling and zet to work. “As far as my own contact with | the commercial world is concerned.! we are now at the height of pros-| perity, and we are going higher. Prospects everywhere are rosier than they have been for yars “As a practical (illustration of prosperity the Columbia Grapho- phone Company is about to resume common dividends which were sus- pended under the Roosevelt admin- istration, and what is more, [ have just let contracts for the erection of a $250,000 addition to our plant at Bridgeport, Conn. We are paying higher wages than ever before in the history of Bridgeport, which is essentially a factory city, and are giving the men shorter hours for more pay than they ever saw before. On a recent trip to the Pacific coast, 1 found evidence, not of returning prosperity, but prosperity that had| arrived in huge chunks with lots more to come.” —_—— We learn from a local paragraph in the Pensacola News that Rev. . Sidney Catts of West Florida is still in the ring as a candidate for gov-| ernor. Bro, Catts is the gentleman ' who located the late Henry Ward Beecher as the_pastor of Plymouth, ! England, thus robbing gooe oid! Plymouth- church, in Brooklyn, U.§ 8. A, of its chief title to fame. —_—— Governor Tnmmen's‘ message to the legisiature is a very long docu- | ment, but it is well worth reading, for it is packed with useful sug- gestions aud recommendations to the legislature made by a man who has given loug and careful study to yman of the Journal back down from the liquor traffie. PSS T Both the DeLand Daily News and the Daytona Daily Journal have sus- pended for the summer and promise to resume next fall. It takes money and grit, and plenty of both, to keep a daily paper gzoing through the dull season in the smaller cities of | Florida and when such veterans as| Codrington, of the News, and Spark- the task we may be sure that they? have done the semsible thing from a business point of view. I o SRR A ¢ It that new editor of the Pensa- cola News, H. H. Brickell, who comes from Alabama, is of the blood | and breed of Robert C. Brickell, | former chief justice of that State, | who died some years ago, he ought to have brains, plenty of them and of fine quality. We once heard a distinguished northern man, who was always careful of his words and chary of his praise, say that Judge | Brickell was the William M. Evarts of the South. And Mr. Evarts was credited with the finest legal mind | at the American bar. What a rare old man that same Judge Brickell was, with his solemn parchment face, his rusty suit of black, his quaint smile, dry, keen, kindly humor and deep vision into things beyond the ken of common minds. He could pack more thought into fewer, simpler words than any man of his day in Alabama, and | didn’t need to be a lawyer to ulder-j stand the limpid clearness of his de- | cisions. What fascinating types were those old lawyers and jurists | of a day that is dead! How simple, unassuming and kindly, but what | masters in the rapier play of trained intellects when their blood was up and the joy of a big legal combat possgssed them!' i Many Juvenile Readers.

This time, how- ever, two Mobile men, Harry R. Cook and H. H. Brickell, get the paper, and they are said to be backed by abundant Mobile capital to as- sure its future. We greet the Ala- bamians and give them welcome to Florida journalism. They will find our newspaper people a good sort and as up to date as in any other part of the country—in fact, con- siderably ahead of some parts of it. ————— Those papers and politicians whose denunciation of the administration’s foreizn pelicy amounts almost to a; mania will learn with deep clngrin' that the United States government is bucking up to England and has in- formed her in positive terms that it could not “either admit the right of the allies or their claims for justi- fication in placing an embargo on all commercial intercourse between Germany and neutral countries.™ The aforesaid papers and politicians, to maintain their consistent hostil- ity to President Wilson and Secre- tary Bryan, no matter what they do or say, should at once sound the alarm and protest against putting this country in a dangerous attitude toward the troubles in Europe that might involve us in war. But as it is perfectly certain that we could | lick poor, friendless Mexico in short order, they are quite willing for us to get warlike in that direction and bully that unhappy land on the | slightest provocation. The tragedy ! of war in Europe and the comedy of party politics in America give the spectators plently of entertainment | these days. i | } garden. 100 bearing orange trees. payment required. worth more than hali the house, packing house and opment Plan.
