town was startled yesterday morning
by the announcement that the dead
body of white man had been found
in the lake about fifty feet east of
the breakwater in front of the Hol-
land Hotel. His head was the only
part visible and was first seen by
Bob McGriff, who mistook it for a
cocoanut.
The body was promptly removed
from the water and taken to the Fer

Coroner Smith held an inquest on
the remains at one o'clock the same
afternoon The jury was composed
of c. l.. Fayott, foreman; A. E.

Florida is making wonderful
strides in stock raising and general
farming" said Mr.. Walsh. THE
lumber and turpentine interests are
planning to fence their immense
acreage of lands to raise live stock
themselves or lease the pastures. One
lumber company near Palatka has
fenced 10000 acres of land, ON which

estimated, will exceed $1,000, 900,
the value of it's orange and grape
fruit crop.
Many new hotels are being built
in anticipation of the largest volume
of tourist traffic in the history of the
State.
Florida has one attraction for
tourists the world does not know
about and the State itself doesn't ap-
preciate. The Suwannee river was
made famous the world over by the
song, The Old Folks at Home, and
yet not ten people in hundred

Florida and it is not on any of the

The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1916-09-22

We have met the young man who
recently took charge of the Tarpon
Springs Leader, and we were very
favOrably impressed with him. But
from reading his paper we fear he
will not be able to lay claim to being
a great journalist. For instance he
says, 1--WE are waiting until the evil
dence is in before calling any one a
thief and a CRATER That's old
fashioned, Lucas; you won't attract
attention to your paper that way,
and you'll certainly be blackballed
by the Polecat Club.
