Mrs. Frances Vesey, of Arcadia, is in the city looking over the field with a view to bringing an Artists’ Festival here next spring. The Lake- land Chautsuque, with its splendid talent, under the management of Mr. C. Rucker Adams, will be held in February, and if brought here the Artists’ Festival would be held in March. Whether the town can sup- port two such attractions it remains to be seen. We were 8o busy telling about the other folks in connectiop with the banquet Tuesday night that we neg- lected the opportunity to boost our- selves a little. The programs or menus for the occasion, which were printed at the Evening Telegram of- fice, were very much admired by the guests, and many complimentary comments were passed upon them. They were the work of Mr. G. J. Williams, superintendent of the job department of this office, and the best job printer in Florida, bar none. Mr. Williams has been doing most of the printing used in Lakeland during the seven years he has been continuously connected with this of- fice. Returning to the programs, we might add that they were fur- nished the occasion, without cost, Wwith the compliments of the Evening Telegram. * A large and appreeiative audience witnessed the graduation of the eighth grade pupils of the Lake Mor- i lips in the \ Bassett building was ton Grammar school, which took Dlace yesterday afternoon in the Au- ditorium of the school.

This marriage comes as a surprise to the many friends of this popular young couple and they have the good wishes of a host of friends both here and in Davenport. A GIFTED SOLOIST A rare treat is in store for those who are so fortunate as to hear the solo by Mrs. L. C. Hull at the First Methodist church Sunday evening at 7:30. This gifted and consecrated singer in a remarkable way puts !soul into music and thus preaches the old Gospel in sacred song. Mrs. Hull was the principal singer several years ago in a number of noted re- vivals in great western cities. Aurora Circle The Aurora Circle met with Mrs. 1C. M. Weeks Tuesday afternoon. Mrs. Amidon, leader. Subject—The Power of Prayer.

Also teiling of the need for more work and more prayer from ‘“‘the folks at home."” Mrs. Edwards read a selection from the Baptist Witness illustrating the power of prayer in soul winning.

Jackson, fecting some of Lakeland citizens who was in Plant City yesterday who used to spend summer at Hot morning, and in company with Springs. They decided to stay home 1 Chairman D. R. Crum, made a trip amd takec the same treatments from of inspection over several of the l-akeland Sanitarium, thus saving more important roads in this dis- time and expense and helping Lake- | trict, the work of paving the Plant 1and to grow. 818 City-Tampa brick road will start from this end within a short time. | HOLLINGSWORTH ITEMS Up to the present, the contractors have been unable to get sufficient i quantities of brick to carry on the work in two places, but a large ship- ment is now due. The pavement already laid extends nearly to Mango and that point will be reached this week. The curbing has been placed for some distance this side of Seftner. The old road bed is being followed closely, the only deviation yet made being at Seffner where the old road was slightly too close to the railway tracks. Here the road will be moved north five feet. The commissioners, Mr. Jackson said, are demanding a high grade of brick and workmanship in road con- struction and will insist on getting it. They have profited by past ex- perience in road construction and the roads now being laid are the best that can be expected for the money expended. Under the heavy trafic now im- posed upon it, the Valrico road to Tampa is wearing badly and repairs are now needed in a number of places and the commissioners will see that this road has immediate at- tention. Minor repairs have just been completed on the Coronet brick road and this stretch is now in ex- cellent condition. 0DD FELLOWS AND REBEKAHS T0 CELEBRATE THEIR 96TH ANNIVERSARY All Odd Fellows, their wives and all Rebekahs are invited to meet at [. 0. 0.
