On March, Lynn Ravens birth will
be celebrated with becoming honors.
While q young town, 1t will also be
known as "Old Settlers Day" and the
pioneers will gather TO tell yarns of
the early days when the city was a
waste of scattered pines sheltering
nothing but the uncarpeted earth and
the migratory birds. One pioneer res
ident has this season been instrument
tai in bringing into our midst seven
teen families all of whom have re-
NAMED and established homes. While
an old man, his place blooms like the
rose and he is an authority on all
vegetation pertaining to this locality.
The man is VIM. McMullen.
The Chautauqua series OF meetings
left in its wake a renewed interest in
educational upbuilding and those who
experienced the uplifting effect will
lend their pest efforts to future years
of even greater successes. It must be
remembered that the sixteen programs
were all home talent, gladly willingly
and ably given. Chautauqua talent
from the world of letters is an expen-
sive luxury, and while Lynn Haven
did not have q Hobson or a Bryan the
speakers had talent less known to the
world but thoroughly appreciated by
those who heard and loved them. The
meetings realized a sum for the school
fund amounting TO $500.
