LAKELAND-NATEST, CLEANEST
AND MOST ATTRACTIVE

Of the recent meeting of the South
Florida Press Association held here.
the Zephyrhills Colonist says:
A large number of editors south
from Ocala and Sanford, met in
Lakeland last Friday for the purpose
of organizing a South Florida Press
Association, which was enthusiast
tically accomplished, and the new
babe was born, with bright prospects
for the future good of south Florida
pencil pushers. Mr.. HUMPHREYS of
Bradentown was elected president
and Mr.. HeHtherington of the Lake
land Telegram, secretary. After an
enthusiastic creation of the creature,
and all matters of usefulness proper
ly tagged, it was decided to hold the
next meeting at Arcadia the second
Friday in July. At that time
structure will be completed that will
be a joy forever. The newspaper
men were strictly the guests of Mr..
and Mrs. Hetherington, the enter
prising proprietors of Lakeland's de-
seminators of news, the two papers,
and, oh, how royalty genuine hospi-
tally was distributed. A punch bowl
Of large dimensions was placed on a
table in the assembly room on the
third floor of the handsome "Tele-
gram" building, and it was filled
with a most delicious nectar, and
cracked ice. Sliced banana and lem
on foated on its cool and inviting
surface and the tropical atmosphere
vas made comfortable by even a
look. At the close of the meeting, the
Board of Trade had automobiles on
hand and tok the entire assembly a
trip around the city. 1t is our de-
cision that Lakeland is the neatest,
cleanest, most inviting little city
that we ever visited north or south.

The newspaper gathering was CIV
en- a hearty welcome by citizens of
Lakeland and autos were provided
so the visitors might enjoy ride
over the city. It's fine asphalt streets,
elegant buildings and beautiful lakes
received the praise of everyone and
Lakeland's fame will spread. The
meeting was held on the top floor of
the News-Telegram building, which
is a new structure and one of the
finest newspaper homes in the State.
Mr.. and Mrs, Hetherington of the
Telegram devoted practically the en-
tire day to making things pleasant
for the visitors -Kissmmee Ga
zette.

The readers of the Telegram have
so much faith in the truthfulness
and reliability of this high-class
journal that when they meet an
April Fool joke in the middle of its
columns on the Fourth of July they
fall for it Immediately, as evidenced
by the fact that scores of people
went to TRULY O'Steen and Jack
Chunn to get information as to what
moment they expected to ascend into
the air in the aeroplane at Barlow
on the Fourth, and were quite sur
prised to learn that these popular
young gentlemen knew nothing
about their contemplated ascendency
to the realms above. We believe that
Barlow owes us a card of thanks for
that little item, as we understand
nearly every one of the $4,000 peo-
pie that went to the celebration hae
heard the county's two best lockers
were going to be passengers, and
great was their disappointment
even the airship refused to go up
without them, and all agreed that
"the saddest words of tongue or pen,
it might have been"

GLORIOUS FOURTH
A WET OCCASION

Good evening. have you received
good wetting lately--no? Well, you
were not one of the great throng
that filled Bartow's streets Saturday
and had the unalloyed pleasure Of
seeing a big downpour of wetness
strike in on their exteriors and soon
find itself tangled up in their more
or less intimate linen, said linen
soon resembling a weeping willow
or most anything else that is equally
dropping.
Barlow was prepared to give the
crowds the time of their lives, and
the automobile parade in the morn
ing was said to have been great
stunt. The Lakeland Elks went
over and were around there from
all reports, being royalty entertained
by the Barlow members of the Lake
land Lodge.
At noon barbecued meats, pickles
and bread were served, and it was
while sampling the aforesaid that
the heavens opened, and great was
the fall. The crowds rushed for
the grand stand and those who saw
it was useless to rush-well, we
draw a friendly curtain on both their
looks and their feelings. After the
rain storm, two games of ball were
played, Barlow beating Nichols 6
to 2 and Tiger Bay defeating Brew
ster to o.
! When it rains it pours, and not
only did it rain water but trouble
of another kind-the regular train
due here at $3.50 p. m. was delayed
by wreck and two special trains
from here had to go down to get the
crowds first being the special
that went down in the morning and
the second being train of baggage
coaches, all that were obtainable, in
which the tired crowds assembled
and were brought back to Lakeland
and other points north, the last train
I,getting in about II o'clock Satur-
day night.
The airship, which many people
went down to see, started on its up
ward flight in the morning but ran
into a wire fence which stopped its
operations until later in the after
noon when once more a fight was at
tempted and when about twenty feet
in the air the machine caught in the
top of clump of trees and was torn
to pieces.
The Barlow people spared no eff
forts to make the immense crowd
estimated to have numbered about
$4,000, have a good time, and they
were in no way responsible for the
conditions which tended to mar the
pleasure of the day, and everyone
went away feeling that the day hao
been a great occasion and one that
will not soon be forgotten,
