The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1914-03-14

Where ignorance is bliss it is fol
" to be wise, runs an old saw. 1t is
for this reason, possibly, that Editor
M. F. Hetherington, of the Lake
land Telegram, continues to run the
line published in the best town in
the best part of the State. There
is no excuse for such Ignorance,
when railroad fare is so cheap. Take
a day off, OLD man; come to Orlando
and see how quickly the line will
disappear, never again to be printed
in your paper Orlando Reporter
Star.
Not on your life, Brother Walton.
We gladly admit that Orlando is a
close and brilliant competitor in the
race, a beautiful am progressive lit
tie city the State Is proud of; but
Lakeland leads. and if you don't be-
lieve il. come over with an open
mind and 20 back convinced. SO
sure are we of the supremacy of our
peerless city and section that we are
trying TO think of some other worl
to add to the line we carry on the
front page of the TELEGRAM that will
make the grand challenging truth
even more emphatic We can easily
prove by every citizen of Lakeland
that we are right in our contention.
and as we have a larger population
than Orlando, that will furnish the
preponderance of testimony to de-
eide the case in our favor.

The Live Oak Democrat has re-
port that South Florida crops were
greatly damaged by the recent cold
snap, in some places as much as -
per cent. Miami is cited as an in
stance where the young vegetables
were badly bit and there must be
much replanting. The Democrat
will please make a note of the fact
that the country tributary to Lake
land was not in the least injured by
the frost, not a vegetable hurt, nor
an orange blossom wilted. 1t was
signal proof of our natural climatic
advantages when even as far down
as Miami on the East Coast there
was frost hard enough to inflict Sc
rious injury. We are in the best
part of Florida here for climate as
we'll as all other good things.

Williams and couIon confer-White
Gets Good Match.


Coulon and Xii Williams, king and
heir apparent of the bantamweight
division, met yesterday without spill
ing any gore.
While separated by couple OF
thousand miles of prairie and noun
tain the two little fellows we're giving
out smoking interviews, Williams in
particular threatening dire things to
the champion. In Lewis gymnasium,
however, where they met for con-
fab, all was peaceful and not loud
word was heard.
CouIon declared that before next
Tuesday he would name date for
fight with Williams, and assured the
Baltimorean that the battle would be
staged some time before July 4. Viii
iams argued ever the weight ques-
ton, but finally acceded to Coulon's
demand for 116 pounds.
Charley White has been matched
to meet Joe Azevedo in Racine the
night of March %, the weight being
1873 pounds at 6 o'clock. The Mexi-
can has done some strong battling
on the coast and should prove a
worthy opponent for the Chicagoan.
Hard work is beginning to roll
weight off of Willie Richie, and after
a road siege and session with spar
ring partners in O'Connell's yester-
day the lightweight champion tipped
the scales at 1882 pounds. Richie
worked easily and he will probably
come under the weight notch with
out difficulty.
Battling LeVinsky scored an easy
win over Fred Mckay in ten rounds.
Levinsky was outweighed, but toyed
with the heavy man from Winnipeg
Johnny TiIlman outPointed Pal
Brown of FIibbing in ten rounds at
Superior, Wis. Tillman's victory was
a big surprise.

baseball up on the North Side this
summer. The gang which will cavort
under the direction of Joe Tinker

fore the newcomers.

New Building and
Store for Arvada

For Several weeks rumors have
been current that Three Rules
Store Company of Denver, was
contemplating coming to Arvada
with full line of Drygoods and
ladies' and gents furnishings.
This rumor has eliminated into a
fact and in about sixty days a
new store building 40 < so feet
in dimensions will have been
erected by Chas. Graves on his
lots next to r. o. Graves ma
chine shop, near the corner of
Wadsworth and Grandview. This
building will be occupied by the
Three Rules Store.
1t will be conducted under the
management of j. M. Cones, one
of Cones Brot hers Of the Three
Rules Company. Mr.. Cones is
a pleasing gentleman to meet
and no doubt will readily gain
the confidence of the public. The
Three Rules Store of Denver has
a reputation behind it and the
fact that this company has seen
fit to establish store for Arva-
da speaks something of the con.
fidence successful business men
have have in this locality. See
next weeks Enterprise for fur.
