She was allowed to retire without
much applause and no request for an
encore. Rosebud was displeased and
showed its disapproval of Miss Mixon's
bad taste.
Then Benjamin Fryer went to the
platform to sing his solo. Rosebud set

Mr.. ]. Everett Bryant, census
enumeration for Polk county, and his
deputy, Mr.. |. S. Coon, started to-
day on the WORK of enumerating the
inhabitants of the city of Lakeland.
They will be engaged in this work
probably for the next ten days.
1t is of the highest Importance
that a correct count be made of the
city's residents. and to that end ev-
cry citizen should cooperate with
the enumerators and give them ev-
cry possible aid in securing the nee
essary information. When the emu
merator comes to your home receive
him courteously, and answer cor
rectly and promptly the questions he
may ask, as these questions will not
be impertinent, nor will any infor
nation you may give. him be used in
any way to your disadvantage |.
You know of any persons, or any
families, that might possibly be ov-
eIlOOked, direct the enumeration ia
these persons. 1t is to the interest
of every citizen that Lakeland make
the best possible showing in the
count of population.
This census is taken under the SUI
pervision of the State of Florida, in
| accordance with the custom which
has prevailed whereby a State cen
sus is taken once in ten years, OF
minal figure. Mr.. j. Everett Bryant
was appointed enumerator for Polt
county. and has been engaged in hi
duties elsewhere in the county fol
the past several weeks.

PROBABLY 1000
VISITORS WILL Be
HERE THURSDAY

The indications are that the meet
ing of the Central Florida Highway
Association to be held in Lakeland
on Thursday, next, Sept. 3, will be
the largest and most representative
gathering of the kind ever held in
the State, second only to the ire
mendous meeting in Chattanooga
last May.
From towns all over the State
come announcements that from
twenty-five to one hundred and fifty
delegates will come from each sec
ton to urge the adoption of State
and national highways favorable TO
their locality and it will not be at
ell surprising to the officers Of the
Association to see from seven hun
dred to a thousand men at Thurs
days meeting. Tampa expects to
send twenty-five machines over the
new highway via Plant City, which
was completed last Saturday, while
the representative nature of the
gathering may be wildly guessed at
by considering the fact that dele
gates are coming from as far north
as Tallahassee and south from Mi
ami Orlando. Sanford, Kissimmee
ST Cloud. Gainesville, Ocala, Eusti'
Arcadia, St. Petersburg, Tarpon
Springs, Clearwater, and hundred
other towns in the State are advis-
ing big delegations.
The committee which is planning
the entertainment of these delegates
at a luncheon will have a huge task
before them anf ask for all til he'll;
and cooperation possible, especially
are more funds needed to cover the
expense of the luncheon.
This meeting will mean more e
Lakeland than she is able at thi.
time to realize, and it is unfortunate
that larger and more enthusiastic
tested.
The meeting will be called to or
der by President Ed Bryan, of Tam
pa, at 10 o'clock, and there will bt
something doing all day. The mel

ness. Lakeland need not lose out
but it depends on the attendance
OF her men at this meeting and ais;
upon their joining the Association
SO that their presence may cpun'

number of guests expected, admis

NOTES
(By the Secretary

9 . . Q q 9 q . . = q . . .
The citizens who are affected by
the proposal to pave the streets lead
ing out to the county roads are
asked to consider the matter well
before making serious objection to
the plan of the street commissioner,
which is to have the entire work
paid for by the property owners.
One reason for this plan is that the
city has no means of financing one
third of the cost of this paving with
cut carrying a bond issue for some
thing like twenty-five thousand dol
lars, and this the most sanguine of
us does not believe possible at this
time. Another reason is that If paw
ing is done on this plan from nov
OF there will be no limit to Lake
lands ability to pave her thorough
fares. st. Petersburg has 80 miles
OF paving and is still going on with
il, because the city is not bonded foS
IL Bradentown has some street
paving but is unable to put down
more because the city has bonded
for all the street paving she can car
ry. The paving we have has placed
us in the enviable position we hold
az a progressive town, and We need
a whole lot more of it Let us re-
member that if We adopt the plan OF
doing our own paving from now On
we shall never have to pay our share
OF the one-third of any other paving
hich is done, but will be done with
paving tax when that abutting on
our property is Maid for.
Nothing could hurt Lakeland more
at this time nor give us more 81

still further when two or three
hundred machines roll into town on
Thursday morning. WIFI many of
these be inclined to come again, az
least until we have given them a
more inviting entrance?
There need be no hurry or excite
ment Let us think the matter over
very carefully. II is not believed that
the commissioners will proceed In
the face of a strong and representa-
tive objection. Those who object.
as well as those who favor, should
raise their voices at the meetings Of

AUSPEIOUS OPENING
PUBIC SCHOOLS
This MORNING

The most suspicious opening in
the history of the city schools oc-
Cured >at the Lakeland high school
this morning, when Supt. Chas. NJ.
Jones and his able corps of 3S teach
ers entered upon their duties for the
coming term. This is Supt. Jones'
fourth year here as the head of the
educational affairs Of the city, and
in this capacity he has succeeded in
making the present school system of
Lakeland something that the citizen
ship OF Lakeland can point to with
pardonable pride. With such a prin-
cipal, and, backed, as he is, by
body of trained, efficient teachers,
the school children of Lakeland have
every opportunity for educational
advancement.
The morning session opened with
devotional services in the school au-
ditorium, Mr.. W. K. Piner offer
ing the invocation, following which
he spoke on the advantage of train
ing the memory in well-chosen words
his speech eliciting appreciative ap-
plause. Rev. Wallace Wear of the
First Baptist church then gave 4
very brief address on the value of
time as a factor of success, not only
in the life of the student, but in
business life as we'll. These timely
words were also warmly applauded.
Rev. F. H. Callahan of the Cum
berland Presbyterian church, was
next introduced and in the course of
his address paid a warm tribute to
Prof. Jones. commenting on his tire
less and constant efforts to make the
educational system of the Lakeland
schools what it is today. He also
urged the parents to give this eXecu
tive their heartiest cooperation thai
the educational opportunities offered
vantage of without hindrance. These
sentiments were heartily applauded.
evidencing the high esteem in which
Prof Jones is held by the patrons
OF the school Rev. Veach was the
next speaker, and he made an ad-
dress on selecting model upon
which to shape ones character, TAX
ing Christ as the one perfect model
that should be initiated by all Rev.
Veach was followed by Mr.. NJ f.,
Hetherington, who made the pupils
a short talk, bringing out the inn
portance of education as founda-
tion for the battles of life and emf
phasizing the fact that the oppor-
tunities of the modern business life
could only be grasped by those edu-
cationally equipped. Prof. Jones
then closed the session with short
talk to the pupils about their work
and concluded with the school an
Gouncements.
The unusually large opening at
\ tendance, the enthusiasm manifest
ca by both teachers and pupils In
starting out upon the work of the
coming year. the presence of 81
many fathers and mothers at this
, initial session of school is prophetic
of the success that is sure to attend
the ensuing term, guided by the ex'
perienced superintendent and his eff
ficient faculty.

is no real reason why the present
site could not be exchanged for one
much more suited to our needs.

have to be moved or torn down, as is
the case If the site is not changed .
