WHY WE NEED CONVENTIONS.

Why not make this convention
city?
1t can be done if you are loyal in
your support of those who are trying
to do things for the town. II would be
worth while.
Only the other day was asked the
question, What good doesTa conTeil'
ton do the city in which tits held:"
AS an answer told the following true
story: :.
"a few years ago Il convention oil
minor Importance was held in Buffalo,
New York. Among others eligible as
delegates we're Moses Gunst, a well,
known capitalist, Of San Francisco,
and AL. Hayman, of New York City.
Mr.: Gunst and Mr. Hayman did not
expect to attend the convention but
were prevailed upon 10 do so by their
wives who desired to see Niagara
Falls.
In Buffalo the two men we're ia
vorably impressed by the Hotel FRO.
0uois at which they stopped and by
the general appearance of the city.
Casually inquiring about real estate
prices they formed the opinion that
property was selling below reaspna'
BILE values.
"The result was that they INFESTED
100000 in corner. The investment
attracted some attention at the time,
and apparently it was all that was
needed to loosen the market, A gen-
eral business revival followed, and
Buffalo has been prosperous ever
SINCE.
incidentally Mr.. .Gunst aud Mr..
Hayman resold their corner within
ninety days for $122,0O0. More pleased
than ever with Buffalo they made 9TH
er investments and until the present
time have continued their financial in.
terest in the city"
There is a concrete Illustration Of
The value OF a convention to the city
in which it Is held. or course there
are OTHER and less material advantages
in q convention. Views are broadened
by your contract with strangers from
the great outside world. 1t is good
for you to rub elbows with your fellow
men.
The most direct benefit to be obtains
ed from convention is in the way of
money brought to the Town and spent
here. It is a mighty poor convention
that does not bring together at least
fifty delegates. Some multiply that
number by ten. Then. 100, II lisa short
convention that does not last three
days. Some continue in session week
or even longer, with a day or two
gained at each end.

ness men.
In the first place II is necessary to
determine what conventions you would
like to bring to the Town. Then,
which of these conventions would it
be possible to bring here.
Those two questions answered, you
are just ready to begin work. You
must show good reason why the con.
lyention should coMe here. Other cit
| les will be after, the prizes and they
will have their own reasons to offer
why this Town should not be favored.
All OF this simply means organiza-
ton. Without organization you can
not hope for success. If you have a
live organization good results will be
obtained.
That brings US right back TO that
persistent question Of your personal
duty. &WNys
What are you doing to aid the or
ganization that is putting this Town
on the map? Are you giving toit your
hest moral support?
Remember that money is the cheap
est thing in the world to give. Of
course you should pay your member.
ship dues. But that is the very least
!! you can do. You owe more than that
to the city.
You should take a direct and per-
sonal interest in this matter OF conven.

Mr.. ]. B. SMITHS IDEAS AS
TO THOSE ATTORNEYS FEES

Lakeland Evening Telegram:
think it only justice to the City
Council and Mayor Eaton that the
following facts be brought to the
memory of the citizens of Lakeland.
There has been a great deal said in
regard to who is responsible for the
attorneys fees in the friendly suit
brought to decide whether our city
charter is constitutional or not.
do not think either Mayor Eaton or
the Council is directly responsible
for this. When Mr.. Epps Tucker,
Jr., was city attorney. the Council
instructed him to draft a new city
charter, which he did. When he got
it done the Council handed it
over to Mr.. Blanton, the present city
attorney, to be remodeled. for which
work the city paid Mr. Blanton fee.
If remember correctly, this fee was
$3.50. Later on, Mr.. Blanton be-
came city attorney, and we held an
election to determine whether we
would have commission form of gov.
eminent under this charter, prepared
by Mr.. Blanton, or not. The peo-
pie voted it on, and Mr.. Blanton was
the first man in the city to tell us
that the charter under which we pro-
posed to run this form of govern.
ment. and the same charter for
which the city had paid him $3.50,
was unconstitutional, and lie asks a

WHY AOvENT|S7S
OBSERVE SATURDAY

The night servit es at the Adventist
camp are being well attended by the
people of our city. The large meet
ing tent is filled every niEht. Last
night ED. MONTGOMERY preached an
interesting sermon on the question::
"Were the Ten Commandments Abol-
ished at the Crosse"
A very stirring missionary service
was held at 8 o'clock today. After
several short speeches had been made
of the needs of gospel work in other
lands; $1,000 was raised to help car
ny the gospel message to other
lands. The Seventh Day Adventists
are strong missionary people. They
are carrying on mission work in
ninety-tive different countries and in
lightweight different languages.
Only recently they sent out over $50
more missionaries at one time.
Meeting Tonight
A very interesting lecture will be
given tonight at 1880 o'clock. The
subject will be rs Saturday or Sun
day the Sabbath of the Bible?" 1t
is a weil-known fact that the Adven-
lists differ from all other people in
their practice of Sabbath-keeping.
While most people keep the first day
of the week. they keep the seventh.
Tonight Ed. Hickman will present
the reasons why they observe Satur-
day.
