Fine Meeting OF
Good Roads Assn
AT HaineS Cit,

AS one OF the speakers at the
meeting yesterday said: If the in
terest and enthusiasm there mani
Tasted was fair sample of the in
terest of the people generally
throughout the county for good
roads, there is absolutely no reason
why there should be any longer de-
lay in the matter of securing them.
Between five and six hum ired people
gathered at Haines Cir. yesterday
They came from all parts of the
county, east, west, north and south;
many Of them coming over roads
which, considering that they are
supposed to be main highways. are
a disgrace to the county. However,
these people, in spite Of the difficult
ties encountered by many Of ,hem in
getting to the meeting, were good
hatured, optimistic and enthusiastic.
Everything had been done looking
to- the comfort and entertainment of
the visitors, and the Haines City
barbecue will be talked of for long
time. Preparations were made for
five hundred, while no less than six
hundred probably were served. and
there was still enough left to have
fed many more.
There was such a systematic eff
fort made on the part of both the
good men and women of the town to
do honor to the occasion that 1t
would be worse than useless to at
tempt to mention names but those
who were there were loud in praise
of the excellent arrangements, the
generous hospitality, the hearty and
cordial welcome given, and the AS
sociation, at a meeting held during
the day, rendered a hearty vote OF
thanks to the good people of Haines
City.
Mr.. J. H. Sample was the master
of ceremonies, and short addresses
were made by Messrs. John s. How
ard, of Winter Haven; A. j. Hol-
worthy, of Lakeland; c. H. Walk
er. of Barlow, and F. P. Goodman
of Lake Alfred, on the subject OF
roads, outlining what the Associa-
tion had so far accomplished. Mr..
John F. Cox, of Lakeland, was to
have been one of the speakers, but
the rain cut out his address as well
as that of some others. Alter dln-
ner, Lloyd Tenny started 10 address

rus canker but his address was cut
short by a shower which dispersed
the folks to the nearest available
shelter and it seemed imposslbie &c

unfortunate for the Association, be-
cause the president had INTENDED
after Mr.. Tenney's address. to ASK

annual dues have lately been re-
duced to s5; therefore the Board o.
Governors earnestly asks for the CO.
operation of the taxpayers OF th'
county in this matter. Those inter

J. Holworthy, at Lakeland. If I'M
