We do not assume the attitude of
dictator to any one, because every
man has the right to a fixed opinion.
Rev. Cats has fixed opinions regard
ing most people. You have a right
to study carefully whether he will

son of the Criminal court, an
nounced his decision. on the motion
for new trial in the case of Geo. A.

lived near Mr.. DeVane, was pain
fully wounded
Judge Gibson heard the argument
on the motion for new trial early

A RECIPE FOR HAPPINESS

How little it costs if we give 1t a
thought
To make happy some heart eacn
day
Just one kind word or tender smile
AS we go on our daily way.
Perchance a look will suffice to clear
The cloud from a neighbor's face
And the press of a hand in sympathy
A sorrowful tear efface.
One walks in sunlight; another goes
All weary in the shade.
One treads a path that is fair and
smooth;
Another must pray for aid.
It costs so little, wonder why
We give it so little thought.
A smile, kind words, glance, a
touch,
And what magic may be wrought!

Anything to deceive is the Cats
slogan. MIR. Knott during life
time residence in Florida has been
one of the most prominent and most
consistent members of the Baptist
denomination. He has been active
in church work, and is a trustee of
Columbia College, the Baptist denom-
national institution. Yet it has
been said that he is a Catholic, in
the hope that somebody might be
fooled with what nearly everybody
knows to be an untruth.

A number of State papers have
been misled into making the state
ment that one of Polk county's COM
missioners had been indicted. This is
mistake. No commissioner of Polk
county has been indicted, although,
for political and selfish purposes, an
effort was made to indict one of these
officials.
The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1916-10-26

A small army of men are already
at work on Polk county's roads, and
more will be added as the project
progresses. This must turn a large
quantity of money loose in the coun-
ty, and all will feel the benefits of it.

The Plant City Courier is present
ing some of the most logical and ra-

Knott that have appeared in the

the very high-class newspapers of

sane and correct.

Efforts to shorten the Ten Com

have been abandoned. We doubt that
making them shorter would aid
