T e Erenng Ietegfam rubiished every afterncon from The Telegram Euilding, Entered in the postoffice at Lake- tand, Florida, as mail matter of the second class. M. F. HETHERINGTON, EDITOR 2.50 1.25 the Delivered anywhere within vimits of the City of Lakeland for 10 cenis a week, THE LAKELAND NEWS, A weekly newspaper giving a resume o local matters, crop conditions, eounty affairs, ete. Sent anywhere for $1.50 per year. All the members of the Florida House are going to Chattahoochee tomorrow. Some of them undoubt. edly will find kindred spirits there. -0 If that Dixie Highway doesn’t come via Lakeland, we will regard all that bunch at Chattanooga as highwaymen. ——0 The Florida Senate has Sheriff Baker a clean bill exonerat- ing him from the charges on account of which the governor removed him, and restoring him to office. All the same, the people who know about matters over Palm Beach way will hold to the belief that the governor did his exact duty in the premises. o- Kissimmee bobs up and declares that her hat will be in the ring for the State capital location if the State is divided. Well, we're not going to fall out with a neizhbor about this matter yet awhile, but if our little sister or any other com- munity throws her hat in the ring in opposition to Lakeland, she'll have a millinery bill to pay. There is a wn?nn type of men who because the newspapers poke a little fun at him for lack of a better target for idle persiflage, thinks himself prominent, and the first one knows he has swelled out into a can- didate for an office utterly beyond his proportions. Changing the sub- ject, the Hon. William Mapoles is mentioning himself ag g candidate for Congress in the Third district. i 3. >k The Atlantic Coast Line is getting some good boosts In the State papers because of a full page advertise- ment it recently carried in the Man- | ufacturers’ Record exploiting the ad- vantages, crops, resources, etc., of Florida. We add our mite of com- ‘mendation to the compliments that have been paid the Coast Line, and trust it will keep up the work. It has seemed te us that this railroad has heretofore pursued a very short- gighted policy in this respect. It has done very little advertising for Flor- ida or the section of the State it tra- verses. It would itself be the chief beneficiary of such advertising, and this paper is glad to see symptoms of an awakening on the part of the cor- poration. We trust it will stay awake. Western railroads have built up the country traversed by them, through generous and persist- ent exploitation of the and inducements offered to settlers and investors. Nearer home, the Florida East Coast Railway has done a great work for the eastern part of the State. The other railroads of the State have done comparatively little. We trust that a new policy of publicity is about to be adopted by them. oS R THE EDITOR Consider the editor. He weareth purple and fine linen. 1lis abode is amongst the mansions of the rich. His wife hath her limousine and his first-born sporteth a racing car that can hit her up in forty flat. Lo! All the people breaketh their necks to hand him money. A child is born unto the wife of a merchant in the bazaar. The physician get- teth ten golden plunks. The editor writeth a stick and a half and tell- eth the multitude that the child tip- peth the beam at nine pounds. Yea, he lieth even as a centurion. And the proud father giveth him a Cremo. Behold, the young one groweth up and graduateth. And the editor putteth into his paper a swell no- tice. Yea, a peach of a notice. He telleth of the wisdom of the young woman, and of her exceeding come- liness. Like unto the roses of Shar- on is she, and her 2own is played up to beat the band. And the dress- maker geteth two score and four iron men. And the editor getteth a note of thanks from the 8. G. G. The daughter goeth on a jonrney. And the editor throweth himself on the story of the farewell party. It runneth a column, solid. And the fair one remembereth him from afar with a picture postal card that costeth six for a jitney. Behold, she returneth and the youth of the city fall down and wor- ship. She picketh one and lo! she picketh a lemon. But the editor calleth him one of our most promis- ing young men and getteth away with it. And they send unto him a bid to the wedding feast, and be- hold, the bids are fashioned by Muntgummery Hawbuck, in a far city. Flowery and long is the wedding notice which the editor printeth. The minister getteth ten bones. The editor getteth a scription. iwelve-month sub- advantages | | | PP PPOITIDB (By B. C. Forbes in Atlanta i Georgian) A boy came to see me the other day in the hope that I might find a job for him. i { “What kind of work would you !like best?"" I asked. ! “I'll take anything,” he replied. es; but suppose you had your choice, what line would you choose?” 1 persisted, in my effort to discover his leanings. | He gazed blankly. — | ““What is it your ambition to be " 1 coaxed. “l don’t know,” he finally drawl- ed. Surely you have some idea of the kind of job you would pick if you {had your choice?” I asked, encour- 'aginglyA “No; ' never thought about it at all,” he confessed. a place. A second boy, whose family had suffered a sudden misfortune, came on a similar mission. He had been lookinz forward to a full education, but had been cmpelled to drop school and seek employment in or- der to contribute to the family purse. He was just over 15, . “Have you had time to think about what you would like to do?” I {asked him, “Yes, sir; 1 want to get into a shipping office,” was the immediate response. “Why?"” 1 asked. “Because I like ships, and have learned as much as 1 could about them.” He did not tell me, but I found that this lad could tell at a glance as they steamed through the Nar- rows almost every ship entering New York harbor. He could dis- tinguish the ships of each line, knew their regular sailing days, was fa- miliar with the routes covered by 'ilmsinsm over the romance—not so much of the sea as of foreign trade. Two positions were offered him 'immodlaloly. and he promptly began work in an importing house, where his knowledge and his ambition can be turned to good account. ‘The other lad promised to return, but failed to keep his word. Bwe Now, which of these likely to make his mark? Which are YOU training YOUR boy to resemble? Are you taking pains to so direct the mind of your young hopeful !thut he will not stare blankly when ithe time comes for him to enter the 1world?
