In The Movies

happenings furnished a most interest ing picture story.
 Who gave the house, lot. ard all the other nice presents, amounting in all to nearly $2,OOO? The citizens-all classes of them. Every labor organiza- tion in the city volunteered to a man, to perform all the labor required in the construction of the house. The busi- ness men and manufacturers gave the material and furnishings and mer- chants and others added valuable pres ents for the bride and groom. The brides dress, even her shoes and hos iery, and the groom's outfit came with congratulations and good wishes from the merchants? A diamond engage ment ring, wedding ring and other handsome gifts were in the list. Paid up fire insurance on the house and furniture, paid up premiums on life insurance, telephone rental, gas and electricity, even groceries were gen. erously offered and accepted. Such cooperation has never been surpassed, if equalled.
 The marriage is to take place on raised and decorated platform on State Line avenue, Tuesday, December IA, at 2 p. m. Two ministers. a Method ist and a Baptist. will perform the two ceremonies. Two licenses will be re- quired and used; one for Bowie county, Texas, and one for Miller county, Ark. ansas. The bride and groom will stand in different states while the ceremon- ies are performed. Texarkana's two mayors will be on the platform. SIX bridesmaids, maid and matron of honor and the parents of the contract ing parties will form the bridal party. The Texarkana Band will play the wedding march. A movie camera will record the photos at the rate of six teen per second or nine hundred and sixty per minute.
 This unusual event does not end with the wedding. At eight o'clock the following morning. all the labor organ nations will assemble at the site for the home in Oakland Heights to build tie rretty foHr room cottage which the plans--also contributeG-cal for.
 And the house will be built iu eight hours. The furniture will be installed before the last nail is driven home and the scene will close with the happy bride and groom crossing the threshold of their own little home-a home which will be delightful memento of their love-dream and stand as a mon,i. ment to the patriotisr, -sS enterprise l of city's people.

"eAFETY FIRST"
LEsa-Ec LIFT 1880.


The Union facinc railroad systers
will he give.i an absolutely clean htH
on Passengers llll!eu' during tho
fiscal year ending June 80, 1915, i'll
the report of the Interstate Coni
nierce commission which will soon De
issued. And the number of passen-
gers injured, for the same period, will
show almost negligible in the Com
missions report.
Two years ago the Union Pacific
system adopted a motto of Safety
First" Every employee, regardless OF
his position, was enlisted in the work
Of making the Union Pacific not only
us safe as any other system in the
country, but ABSOLUTELY safe for
the travelling public as well as for the
employees.
The clean bin which the Interstate
Commerce commissions report will
show is the result Of that Safety
campaign.
Not one passenger was killed on
the entire Union Pacific system, from
end to end, raia line and branch line,
during the last fiscal year In that
period 8,951,SG4 passengers entrusted
themselves on the thousands of miles
of branch roads OF Union Pacific, and
upon the main line trains from Omaha
to Portland, Seattle and Spokane,
from Salt Lake to Butte and from
Kansas City to Denver and Cheyenne,
and not one single passenger lost his
life; although, together, these $751;
k-.~,
BILLION miles during that year. Not
only dec; t,'is apply to those passen-
gers ac'E E>Er cn Eccrd the trains, but
it includes those who were preparing
to 30 a.-H:" =. Or v-;I1 were leaving the
trains Ct - r~-~n">fv. Regardless OF
VIE her t,,n, TTnj,e lay with the rail-
road, or IVES due to The srossest, most
fa.:ritnt rrrr'cr2ncss on the part Of
the r""~, -, Thr fact remains that
DTrn!TC TIT FTSCAT. YEAR END
- -'-' - ""---:. 1915. NOT ONE
SINGLE UNION PACIFIC PAsSEN-
GER WAS KILLED.
One of the points insisted upon by
the. Interstate Commerce commission
is that, sl:oIld any passenger die as
the result OF an accident while on
board train, OF while either board
ing or leaving q train, that death
shall be charged to train accidents"
So, when the Commission gave Union
Pacific system a clecn bill for last
year, 1t meant that not only was no
passenger killed instantly, but that
not one died from thc effect of an ac-
cidcnt during the year
And speaking Of accidents, the mum.
Union Pacific system fer the entire
year, according to the Commissions
report, YVES just 500 and the total
number of passengers carried for tho
year was 8,951,2G4. These S,951,363
passengers Travelled S47,93S, ,54A miles.
None were killed and but 399 injured.
But Union Pacifcs Safety First"
campaign is not beneftting passen-
gers alone. Employees are reaping
returns Oh the efforts they
are making to prevent accidents to
zach other. A comparison of the
figures show that the number of
casualties in 1918, before the Safety
First" campaign was lalnched, was
more than cut in half last year. And
the number of injured from accidents,
for the same years, was just quar-
tered. To be exact, there was a re-
duction of 52.5 percent in the "em-
ployees killed" column and Of 25.6
percent in the employees injured.

II. D. BROWN FELL DEAD
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON

Mr. H. ID. Brown, who conduct
ed a grocery at the corner of Da-
kota avenue and Orange street, fell
dead yesterday afternoon in the
fruit stand just west of the park
Mr.. Brown was apparently in good
health and was sitting down en-
gagged in conversation when he was
seen to gasp for breath. He started
to walk into the rear room and fell
to the floor dead, only gasping a few
times. A physician was hurriedly
called, but he was then beyond all
aid, having succumbed to a stroke
of apploplexy.
The body is now at the Gentry
Undertaking Parlops, where it will
be held until the arrival of Mr..
Browns son Charles, who is expect
ed to arrive from Junction City,
Kan, some time Friday. The flu
neral will either be held Friday af-
ternoon or Saturday morning, inter
ment being made in the city ceme-
terry.
Besides his wife sdr. Brown is
survived by his two sons, Charles
and Dewey, and a daughter, Mrs.
Eugene Tillis. In their loss the be-.
reaved family have the sympathy Of
many friends.

THE EXAMPLE OF CHRIST
A Very Impressive Sermon by Dr..
W H. Miley

A Very Impressive Sermon by DR..
W. H. Miley
Those who attended the Evange
listic services at the First Presby..
terrain church last night had their
hearts stirred and softened by Dr..
Miley's excellent sermon. Christ was
shown to be a worthy example for
us in many ways. Especially was
this SO in the matter of church at
tendance and in forgiveness.
Christ found hypocrits in the
leaders and corruption In the tenn
pie. Yet his custom Of church at =.
tendance was strictly adhered to.
A large part Of his teaching, his
prayers and his parallels dealt with
the subject Of forgiveness. II a
man from his heart forgives not
those who in Imagination or reality
injure him, he has no promise that
God shall forgive him.
At the close Of the sermon a large
number Of hearers went forward and
gave the minister their hand, thus
publicly reconscrating their lives to
the Master. A large number re .
'quested the prayers of Gods people
that they might be able to live bet
ter lives.

LAkELAND'S POPULATION
NOT GIVEN, JUSTICE

for some time past it has come tc
the attention Of the people of Lake
land that in considerable of the
matter advertising Orlando the pop
lation of Lakeland issgiyen as 3,719
according to the 1910 census and
the present population of Orlando
$500. 1t is a well known fact that
Lakeland has the largest resident
population of any inland city in
Florida and therefore this discrim-
ination is extremely unjust and un-
pair. Coming to the direct atten-
ton of the secretary of the Board of
Trade is the Dixie Hotel Directory,
the compiler of which, A. B. Vance,
wishes the Board of Trade to take
space in same at the rate of 100
per line. Answering this request,
Secretary Holworthy has written the
following letter to Mr.. Vance:
Lakeland, Fla, Jan. 81, 1915.
Mr.. A. b. Vance,
Publisher Dixie Hotel Directory,
Orlando, Fla:
Dear Sir-f am in receipt of your
letter Of the 25th instant, inviting
this Board of Trade to take space in
a Florida Hotel Directory and Tray
eler's Guide, to be known as Dixie
Hotel Directory, at the rate of one
dollar per line.
With this letter you send us 6
copy Of the Guide for 1915-16, on
the pages of which we find that the
population of Lakeland is given as
3,719, while that of Orlando is Civ
en- as $500.
/ am sure I need not remind you
that from the same source which
gives Lakeland's population as
S,719, the population of Orlando is
given as 1894. This, of course,
you know as we'll as l do, and l can
only add that any publication which
would show such Partially and un.
just discrimination, whether from a
standpoint of ignorance or a desire
to distort them, is absolutely value
less to this, and, we might add, to
any other community, even Orlando,
in whose interests, evidently, the
Directory is published and circulat
ed. Respectfully yours,
A. J. HOLWORTHY, Secretary.

number Of prominent people ap-
peared, having been cited to do SO
because Of infractions Of the trafiic
ordinances. The majority OF the
Eases were for having headlights on
In the paved district, and the or
tenders were dismissed with a
warning, it appearing that the vio-
lations were caused solely because
Of lack Of familiarity with the regu-
lations. The mayor is determined

BY Miss Estelle Rogers

y ~NASo GStclle Rogers
The Epworth League of the First
M. E. church was delightfully."- en-
'ertained last evening by Miss Els.
telle Rogers at the home of Mr. and
MRS. w. c. Norvell. Two very in
terestlng contests were the features
OF the evening. In the first each
guest Was given a list of familiar
quotations and was told to name the
author from which each was taken !.
Mr. Frank Earl Washburn was the
fortunate winner and was rewarded
with book that he might learn
other quotations. In the second
contest various objects representing
different books were placed around
the rooms and the guests were told
TO name the book which each rep-
resented. Misses Nora Hart, Vera
buchanan. Hazel Williams and An
ME Streater succeeded in naming
all correctly. These young ladies
drew for the prize and Miss Streat-
er was the lucky one. Mr.. William
son rendered two vocal selections
much to the delight of those pres.
Ient. Refreshments of delicious
fruit salad and chocolate were
served. At a late hour the young
people babe their hostess good night
and took Their departure feeling that
they had had one of the most de-
lightful evenings possible.
