The Enterprise, which hss been published
at Zwolle for the past two years by Mr..
B. F. Lusk, suspended publication last
week. In his valedictory, Mr.. Lusk states
that the Enterprise has never been pay
ing proposition. The weekly newspaper,
even when it has the entire field, has a
difficult struggle for existence. The editor
works like Trojan and is paid like mis-
sionary.-Sabine Banner.
The Enterprise was doubtless q good
newspaper and would have continued in
the field had it not been too crowded. Our
comment is intended to emphasize the fact
that newspaper failures are bound to follow
ill-advised efforts at competition where the
field is not really large enough for living
competitor. Where the new competitors
only hope of success is to starve out the
man already in business (and doing the best
he can to support himself and family and
conscientiously serve the publicly by cutting
rates and resorting to other unfair means
to destroy the man he would supplant.
Our remarks are not intended for the En-
terprse or other recent newspaper suspen-
sions, but for the days when "campaign
funds, as the loot WAS called, was arrayed
against honest, legitimate journalism. But
politicians who wantto be boosted for Office.
and men generally who have 'sinterests'
to promote, have long since learned that
mushroom newspapers wearing any out
sider's collar, have never been profitable
propositions to any man or community.
That newspaper without bona fde sub
scription list and with 40 established repu-
tation for honesty to back its utterances,
is really disadvantage, instead Of an adj
vantage, to town or people, for it is gem
orally shoddy affair. The public have
found by experience that it is Z waste Of
money to back such uncertain and short

FROM BARLOW

Jan. marks the thirtieth ami
versary of the founding of Lakeland
and its citizens are preparing fit
ting celebration on that occasion.
The event will be termed a Carnival
Of Progress, and the festivities will
include a gigantic parade, a night
mask carnival, and other attractions
galore, and the Lakeland spirit may
he depended upon to make the cele-
bration one long to be remembered
in this section.
Lakeland has enjoyed phenomenal
prosperity during the past year and
her people are in the mood to insure
a cclo hration commensurate with the
imortance of the occasion. Reduced
rates are promised by the railroads
and many irom all parts of South
Florida will doubtless be on hand tC
partake of I.akeland's hospitality at
the beginning of the new year. =

WHAT IS A CARNIVAL?

This question came up before the
committee this morning, some per-
sons having an idea that the Carni-
val was to be in the nature of a tent
show. The Carnival will be largely
what the merry and fun loving make
it. The parade feature has been
outlined; the individual merry max
ing cannot be because this must nee
essarily be spontaneous. Every man
and woman, every boy and girl, who
is enjoying life, can at least demon
strate that fact on this occasion in a
way SO that it will spread like con-
tagion. 1t means simply that we
should get out on the streets that
night and have a good time playing
boys and girls together. A Carnival
of Fun.

you what a fine man Mr.. C. G.
Fletcher, the road supervisor, is. He
gets a good days work out of all

other words he don't allow the
guards to curse the men and abuse
them at all, and also he gives them
plenty to eat.
This is what we boys had for
Christmas: Four large hens, about
rs hounds of nice pork and five large
cakes and "a nice pies, and all the
refreshments that anybody coul0

a supple figure to appear uncorseted.
Never since the Directoire period have
there been so many examples Of natural
effects. Pliability is considered a de-
sirable feature in the new corsets, and
the essential points are a slightly
rounded front, straight hips, and very
nat back. Corsets are longer below
the hips and only a few inches above
the waist line. There are many sur
prises in bcneless and seamless cor
sets, which produce the right figure
line. Square elastic sections help the
lower portions to ct closely.
Materials used are tricote, coutil,
batiste, elastic and eoutfl, elastic and
tricote and fancy brocade. A desirable
finish is a silk buttOn-holed edge at
the top. Owing to the fancy for deli
cate colored lingerie pink and blue
seamless corsets are desirable. A good
model has long skirt fitted closely at
the bottom with elastic fastenings in
the back, and comes just above the
waist line.
Needless to remark the large waist
continues fashionable so that one
usually takes a large size model. The
belt top corsets bring out the natural
figure line well and comes both In front
and back lace models.

proposing to have congress enact laws
TO the effect that no heifer under two
years can be sold for market. Any

great Injustice, that will jeopardize the

not to buy a large supply Of any one

that it is wiser to replenish often than

As the expense Of 6ne lingerie IS

work than in the materials used, good
economical results can be obtained bJ

prettiest lingerie is the French, which
invariably combine hand embroidery
with lace Of every description. New
and irresistible creations distinguished
by touches Of individuality are copied
in the less valuable domestic garments
at remarkably low prices.
Simplicity in underwear is becoming

Brassieres are q necessity and no
material is too elegant to make them
Of. The models are more elaborate than
ever. Those of silk and lace are really
sufficiently handsome to form a hand
some lining for the waist and at the

necessary purpose. They are both
fastened in the back and front models.
Extremely new are the brassiereS with
