DISGRACEFUL ACT OF VANDAL
ISM AT LAKELAND SCHOOL

Sometime between Friday evening
and this morning vandals entered the
room of Miss Cora Griffin at the Lake
land school and maliciously destroyed
everything they could place their
hands on, the school room this morn
ing presenting almost a complete
wreck.
All peraphernalia which Miss Grit
fin had accumulated since coming to
Lakeland was entirely destroyed, the
floor being strewn with the wreckage;
chairs and tables being overturned,
and everything was in great disorder
generally. Several handsome vases,
worth several dollars each, were
thrown on the floor and broken; in
fact, everything that could be de-
stroyed was given due attention by
the marauders. Damage to the room
is estimated at between SIS and 800.
