FACTS FOR THE CONSIDERATION
OF THE VISITOR TO LAKELAND

The stranger who visits Lakeland
cannot fail to be impressed with the
evidences of progress and improve
ment which confront him on every
side; still, he can appreciate this
progressive tendency the more II he
has some information as to what has
been done, how long 1t has taken to
do It. and what II is expected to fur
ther accomplish.
The visitor who Is inclined TO he
critical is merely asked to give con-
scientious answer to one question:
"How did YOUR home community
compare with Lakeland when 1T was
twenty-five years old?" For be it
known that only a little over quar-
ter Of a century ago the streets OF
Lakeland had not been blazed by the
surveying engineer. Everything in
sight has been put here In that time,
and the greater part Of it In the past
half dozen years.
With the completion Of the i'm
movements on which work is now
actively ia progress, Lakeland will
lie on a par with the most up-to-date
cities Of the country. An army oil
workmen is today engaged in in
stalling a splendid system of sewer
age and placing the brick for several
miles of paved streets Another large
force is engaged in erecting $l2o.'
600 hotel. The treasury department
is advertising for bids for . site on
which is to be placed a magnificent
public building, an appropriation fol
same having recently been made b,
the government Several business
blocks are planned for immediate
erection, and scores of residences
many of them of a superior char
acter, are now in process Of building
The growth of Lakeland has mo-
been attended by any symptoms OF
boom, but it has been steady and sub
stantial. Each year seems to brins
cumulative force to this growth, th'
past year being the one In which
greatest progress is recorded. Build
ing operations were very extensive
throughout the year, including sew
eral business blocks. an Auditorium
with a capacity Of 1000. and yer!
large number OF dwellings.

The prosperity of this community
rests on a solid basis, being depend
ent upon many and varied interests,
both agricultural and Industrial. The
Atlantic Coast Line railroad has suf-
icient interests here to produce a
payroll which alone would support
a respectable town, and the enter
prises Of lesser magnitude, but all
contributing to the general prosper
ity, are many and substantial. No
finer lards may be found In the State
than those which form Lakelands 9
hack country. Truck growing, fruit
raising and general farming are all
successfully pursued. Being in the
heart OF the citrus fruit section, the
shipments Of oranges. grapefruit,
etc., are very heavy. the Florida Cit
rus Exchange having a mammoth
packing house here, which Is consid-
cred worthy Of being held up as q
model to all other Exchange houses;
and there are also several independ-
ent shipping houses. Winter straw
berries form great money crop,
heavy shipments being made to the
northern markets all through sew
eiaI months when strawberries are
produced in no other section of the
United States, and when they are
eagerly purchased In the great cities
o. the country at exceptionally high
prices.
Fine schools. the facilities fol
which plans are now under way t.

senting every shade OF religious be
lief. live Board Of Trade, with 500
members, municipal-owned publ,
utilities; unexcelled transportation
facilities; healthfulness unsurpassed
by any city in the country; peculial
advantages Of location; and, NOR,
than all, contented, enterprising
cosmopolitan, democratic citizenship
all combine to make Lakeland thu
ideal place for a home or an invest
ment. and insures that the recort
Of growth in the past, which bring
1t from 1,100 in 1900 in 1000 in
1913, will be more than duplicated
in the next few years and that the

ILLINOIS DAY AS VIEWED
BY AN ONLOOKER.

Editor of Lakeland Evening Tele
gram: Thinking a few lines from
stranger in regard to the banquet
given ly the Illinois Club might or
would he appreciated, | will say the
commit zee on arrangements was GER
tainly very competent for the duties
incumbent upon it. for every detail
was fully carried out, which proves
the assertion. The program was an
admirable one. Standing near the
president, DR.. W. II. COnibear, cast
ing my eyes down the aisles, tables.
groaning as it were with the good
and sweet yiands, met my vision and
spoke volumes in favor of the good
cooks and bountiful providers of the
illinois Club. The president called
order and the general chorus "Auld
Lang Syne'' was sung with a fervOr
only equaled by collegians as they
meet and reminisce of their alma
mater. Rev. w. 8. Patterson, whose
invocation prayer not only bore to
the throne Of grace the people whose
birth was in the great State OF IL
linois, but the citizens Of Lakeland
and the sunny South. The girls
chorus was very fine. Memories Of
Illinois," by Mrs. William Steitz, was
very appropriate and most excellent
ly rendered. ITO Florida" by Mrs.
If. w. Mercer, was par excellence"
The trees in the park almost waved
as the general chorus Of voices
echoed through their foliage when
"Suwannee River" was sung.
A very interesting part Of the pro-
gram was the luxurious and most ex-
cellent supper which can assure you
was enjoyed by all. No scltishness
VAS manifested, for the writer was
invited, accepted and partook Of the
feast Of good things for which he
wishes to return his many thanks.
The manuscript prepared by the
honorable mayor Of love, abil-
ity and wisdOm---on account OF his
Z absence was read most excellently By
Mrs. Sietz. The response by the
president was in keeping with the
position he occupied. "The Old Home
and the New" by Mr.. NJ. F. Hether-
: ington, editor OF the Evening Tele-
gram, was the keynote Of the ban
: auet gathering. What he said came
from tie heart and found lodge
5 ment the many hearts around the
festal oard. Language fails me
when | ry to portray the depths
and wisdom Of his very intelligent
I and most excellent address. Some
Illinois Men I Have Met" by Gen. ].
A. Cox, no doubt pleased the veter-
ans who were in the strife of long
ago. The reading Of Mr.. c. A. Bur
ridge was unique. and called forth

with another repetition equally -

At a regular meeting Of the Leis-

was decided by the club members
present to erect a building within
the next few months A number
OF plans have been submitted from
time to time, but as all the plans
called for more money than the club
had without extensive borrowing and
running into debt. it was concluded
to modify the plans to confirm with
the cash.
Instead OF contract on this
building it will be erected by day
labor and brick and concrete blocks
are to be used This it is believed
will give the club very comfortable
home, one that will be a substantial
building, answering all the purposes
without frills The intention is to
erect a building that can be used for
small entertainments. house parties
and also be used by this club for its
regular and special meetings.

on to illustrate many subjects. but
probably one OF the most intense and
instructive series of pictures ever
mapped out and carried to truthful
conclusion is the kalem film illus

From the Manger 10 the Cross.
In order TO secure the real surround

truthfully as possible. the scenes
were taken in the Holy Land and
only trained actors were used for this
occasion. The efforts were crowned
with success. as the pictures have
been shown in many lands and have
met with the approval OF those who
have made the Bible study.

The site is situated directly op
posite the high school building and
is one of the best in town By using
concrete blocks it will conform with
the building opposite and will fill an
empty lot that has been considered
one Of the most desirable in this city.
The club had several propositions
on hand to buy and remodel other
buildings in this city As many of
the members had helped subscribe
to the fund and had endeavored in
every way to raise money for the
erection of new home of their own,
and by the decision of last evening
those who have made this effort will
see their hopes materialize.
1t is the intention to start building
within a short time, or as soon as
the definite arrangements can be per-
fected. The building of this club
house is one of the progressive meas
ures that is hitting Carson this year.
