BUzZARDS LEAVE NEW
BONE OF CONTENTION
FOR LITERARY CLUB

Members of the Friday Literary
Club, who have for a long time dis
cussed the merits or possible demer-
its of the turkey buzzard, on occas-
ion. have found a new bone of con-
tention among the bones and refuse
and debris left on the river front as
waste from the barbecued feast last
Tuesday when more than 1000 per-
sons ate roast beef and mutton from
trays in the shade of the trees there.
All day yesterday buzzards by the
hundreds. probably by the thous-
ands congregated on the deserted
grounds and engaged in picking up
and disposing of every morsel of
waste and refuse which the crowds
discarded
1t is said that members of the
Friday Literary Club wwho are the
champions of the buzzard called by
telephone and invited their adver-
saries to just come to the river front
and see the shores of the Manatee
literally black with buzsards, bus
lily engaged in the work of volun-
teer sanitary department.
Club members who have viewed
the buzzards and his activities with
a measure of distrust and suspicion
are said to have kept the wires
warm in communication with cham
pions of the buzzard. whom they in

They are trying murder case
over in Milton in West Florida now
in which there is neither religion,
politics, the color line, high social
standing nor the power of wealth to
divert the minds of the jury from
the plain issue of whether four
white men crept up on the humble
home of an old white couple asleep
in their beds, and supposed to have
money, and cruelty murdered them
Under such circumstances it would
seem that a just verdict should be
reached, with no technicality per
mitted to get in its work.

A FLORIDA EXHIBIT
IN NEW YORK

Florida will advertise her pro-
ducts by holding an exhibition in
this city next December. Orange

transplanted to New York, and
palms, ferns and many other varie-
ties of plants will be used in the
scheme of decoration.
The exhibition will be held for the
threefold purposes of revealing Flor
idas wealth in fruits and other pro-
ducts. of educating the north in re-
gard to her commercial advantages.

While the visitation of the bird
of good and evil repute will not set

its value in the scheme of civiliza-

which would have required a large
expenditure of funds to have done

1t is said that the editor of the
Lakeland Telegram gave the candi-
dacy of Mr.. Cats quite boost on
the occasion of the latters visit to
that city. 1t was unintentional,
however Arcadia Enterprise.
Yes, and you have doubtless also
heard that 1T is said is the most
notorious prevaricator, purveyor OF
lies, SANDERS and scandals in any
community. There is at least one
of him in every city, town and vii
lage in America and Lakeland is no
exception to the rule. To those ia
miliar with the facts in the case the
statement that the Telegram gave
Cats candidacy a boost will seem
as a joke with the humor in it at
the expense of Cats.

in Arcadia Sunday, ostensibly to
lead his hearers into the path of re-
ligion. On Monday he yowled to
the same people, urging them to re-
ligious moderation. Somebody throw
