MAN FROM TEXAS
 GETS IN BAD

l.. P. Jones, the man from Texas who passed several worth. less checks in Little Rock while reveling in the hallucination that he was big contractor with un. limited wealth, was given hear ing in police court this nor hing and was fined S100 and costs and sentenced to six months on the county farm in each of two cases of obtaining money under false pretenseS.
 Jones claims that he was drunk several days and does not remember anything about get. ting the checks cashed.

TRY SHOPPING EARLY

In some of the larger cities people are already beginning their Christmas shopping and the spirit which prompts these early purchases is worthy of emulation, The custom of com mencing the holiday buying early is growing every year and much relief has come to the tired clerks who are forced to do extra work at this particular season of the year for which they receive no greater salary.
 Help improve conditions b4 making your pure hases at your earliest convenience and those who remain on duty long n q weary hours at the various stores will greatly appreciate it and will also be. able to give bet ter service and render you more valuable assistance in selecting the presents you wish to buy. Those who wait until the eleventh hour to do their shopping will find it more difficult to get just what they want in the way of gifts. Shop early and benefit both the clerks and yourself

For Silk Embrolderies,

There are some things not Of com
mon knowledge by far that the en-
broiderer in silk will be very glad to
learn. One Of these is the use of an
aluminium thimble in place Of the sill.
yer or gold one of which you might
be the proud possessor. The steel or
the silver of gold thimbles are worked
into shape. and this causes the silk to
catch on them to the annoyance Of
the crocheter. Now the everywhere
apparent and little used aluminium
thimble Is pressed into shape and
therefore has no metal projections.
which though iniinitesimal are still
large enough to hasgle and harass the
silk. For the same reason use q larg.
or needle. The silk viii pass through
the cloth easier.

Gives Impression OF
Confederate Reunion

Col. w. III. tllitOrd hahus US thc
following article in which he gives
his Impressions of Orlando during
the Confederate Reunion:
We, of the Lakeland delegation
arrived in Orlando on Tuesday on
the train that leaves Lakeland at
eleven o'clock. On our arrival at
Orlando we were met by the cOll-
mittee and we were assigned to our
homes. and speaking for myself. was
all that the heart could wish. Mr..
and Mrs. Bryant. propriet0rs OF the
Windermere. a beautiful and spac-
ious home on the shore OF Lake
Luceme. Mr.. Bryant is COnfeder-
ate veteran and knew how to enter
tain his comrades.
Orlando is a nice, clean. well-kept
city, full of great big hearted peo-
pie, her streets are paved with brick,
wide and rOOmy, her homes are built
after the modern styles of architec-
ture with green lawns and date
palms and pretty flowers.
There were $50 Veterans registered
and all seemed well and in fine
spirits and the hand shaking and
greetings were cordial. we passed the
scenes of bivOuac and field and
fought again the battles of the Civil
War; we sung the old-time songs
and shouted the Rebel yell; we
visited all of the public buildings
which were up-tO-date and were equal
in every respect to any of the towns
OF Florida that have seen; we were
welcome on every hand and were
made to feel so. Mayor Albernethy
In his Address of Welcome in behalf
of the Sons OF the United COnfeder-
ate Veterans said in part: "A few
mornings ago when | awOke | heard
the little birds singing and the words
OF his song were They are coming,
They arc coming and this morning
when | awOke I heard him sing again
and in his cheerful song he said
Get up. they have come. They are
here
Lakeland was hOnored in the un-
animOus election of General j. A.
Cox as Commander of the Florida
Division and }. d. Allen was ap-
pointed as his Adjutant. and Miss
Beulah Hooks. whom all of the old
veterans have learned to love and
who is the life of our conventions,
made us feel proud by her eloquent
address.
And now. oh comrades, as we have
passed another bright spot in our
march on earth there are others
promised ahead, the question natur-
ally arises who of us will survive
to enjoy another reunion. Some of
the hands that we so warmly pressed
at Orlando will In all probably be
laying quiet in the grave when the
convention meets in Lake city. 1t
Is sad thought but an occasion that
we must meet and as we have been
good soldiers on the blood stained
fields of Virginia and Tennessee, may
our grey heads rest in an honorable
grave.
Methink | hear the Waterman on
the other shore as he with shaded
eyes. tears throng the fast fading
light in whispering tones and the
words of the little birds. they are
coming. they are coming" Soon all
will be here and our ranks will be
full again then we will pass in re-
view before our Great Commander
and on earth the curtain will drop
upon service full Of sorrow and
the historian will turn a new leaf

VETOES LIQUOR MEASURES
Florida Governor Disapproyes Anti.

Gllchrist today vetoed three drastic
liquor bills recently passed by the

approved was concerning local op-
ton elections.
The anti-screen bill, which provid.
ed that saloons shall be divested of
all furniture so as to be plainly v,s-
IDLE from the street was vetoed on ac-
count OF the flaws in the construc-
ton OF the bill. The 8 O'Clock CLOS

Dill prohibiting the solicitation for
liquor houses in dry counties. the
Governor holding in the latter case
that newspapers carrying liquor lads"
would be barred in dry counties.
But one liquor resolution remains
and that applies to the revenue Of tho
State.
