The big State conventions which
so often meet in Lakeland have ad :
vertised this city to an extent little
suspected by those here at home who
give little or no thought to such
subjects. The recent convention here
of the w. o. WIS is case in
point. Every paper in the State
has had something to say about
Lakeland in connection with that
meeting, and this from the Pensa /.
cola News is a characteristic item;
Delegates from Pensacola lodges
of Wloodmen of the World who re /.
turned last night from the Grand
Lodge meeting held this week ia
Lakeland were high in their praise
Of the hospitality of that thriving
city. Visitors were taken through
the big orange and grapefruit
groves and large strawberry fields
near Lakeland and brought back
samples of the fruit as pleasant re-
minders Of the trip. Everything else

The Arcadia Enterprise has the
right dope on the baseball situation
In Florida at this season and hands
out some excellent and timely ad-
vice in the following:
1.-THE people of South Florida will
have an opportunity to witness big
league baseball without travelling to
q distant big city. The fact that
Lakeland has been chosen as the
training point for the Louisville
Colonies, and that number Of
games have been arranged to be
played in that city, when this club
will be matched against other
world famous teams, presents the
chance of a lifetime to see these
famous players n action without the
expense of long journey. Lake :
land is so easy of access to all points
and has such splendid railroad SER
vice that people from nearly every
town or station in South Florida caa
make the trip to see one or more of
these games without Inconvenience. :"

two men, now growing old, and the
affection shown for each other Sun .
day plainly touched the hearts of
everyone present.
Sunday afternoon, Rev. Farrow
introduced DR.. Hall to a splendid
audience, whose close attention he
held for more than an hour with his
splendid lecture, Johns and Demi-
johns."I nterspersed with wit and
humor throughout. yet set with
gems of rarest truths, the lecture
was pronounced by all to have been
one of the best ever heard in Lake
