A PATHETIC CASE OF CHARITY

Mr.. NJ. F. Hetherington, City:
My Dear Mr.. Hetherington-
knowing your charitable nature and
deep fellow-feeling for the unfor-
tunate, l ask space to place before
the charitably inclined people of
Lakeland the pathetic case of Mr..
A. c. Malpass, who for about a year
has been among us in search of
health. He comes from North Caro-
lima, is, and has been without
friends, relatives or money. He is a
timid, shrinking man and because of
this has suffered much during the
past six months for the bare neces-
stiles of life, not having food or suf-
ficient clothing to keep him warm
He subsists on what the neiehbors
are inclined to give him and often
goes a whole day without food I'm
til few weeks ago he was able to
do little work, taking whole day
to do the work a strong man would
do in an hour.
Mr.. Malpass says he is suffering
with asthma, and l have bought
asthma medicine for him several
times. My deepest sympathy and
emotions were stirred this morning

There is no confirmation of this re-

ERYB0DY OUGHT TO SAY
HURRAH FOR BOND ISSUE

Lakeland, Fla, May IS, 1916.
To the Editor Evening Telegram,
lakeland, Fla:
If you still have some printers ink
left unused after printing so much
stuff from the opponents of the bond
issue; l want to say that | am hay-
ing a barrel Of fun accompanying the
campaign committee of the Polk
County Good Roads Association, in
their educational work, and | am
sure this committee is doing a great
deal of good. These men are giving
lavishly of their means and talent
for which they will receive their re-
ward from June list, as long as the
good Lord permits them to stay in
Polk county. 1t is what we do for
others that makes life worth living
after all.
There were several gentlemen that
spoke against the bond proposition
last night at Kathleen; these men
are honest in what they are doing,
but unfortunately, they are using
the wrong glasses. These same men
have raised large family and their
children have been educated mostly
in Polk county, and the same men
that have furnished the money to
educate their children, will also in
their big-hearted way, pay off this
bond issue and feel proud that they
have been blessed agan so they could
serve their fellow citizens who are
less fortunate than they. These gen.
tlemen that l refer to, I am sure
neither one of them has paid 500
into the school fund of Polk county
in all their lives; now this same pro-
gressive class that has and is edu-
eating their children, want to build
them a system of good roads in Polk
county, and l can't see for the life
of me how these men can do les
than stand by and say hurrah fol
Polk county and the bond issue.

FIRST BAPTIST Church
SOCIAL WAS A
GREAT SUCCESS

One of the most delightful events
in the history of the First Baptist
church was very pleasingly passed
on last evening at that handsome
and stately edifice, corner of North
Florida avenue and Bay street.
For some weeks past the pastor
and his faithful workers have been
working up a "get-together" meeting
in the form of a church social for the
benefit of the entire congregation,
but especially those who are unable
to attend the regular church serv-
ices as regularly as they would like
to. The faithful women of the work
ing circle took great interest in the
matter and, as they usually do,
planned one of the most delightful
evenings that the membership has
ever witnessed in the social realm of
the church.
Under the splendid leadership of
the faithful and efficient choir di-
rectress, Miss johnson, together with
Mrs. Melton, pianist, a very inter
esting program was arranged and
rendered to the delight of those who
love and know how to appreciate
good music. The numbers consisted
of the following:
Overture-"Apple Blossoms" by
the orchestra.
Vocal Solo-"oh, Eyes That Are
Weary" by Mr.. E. N. Good.
Flute Solo-"Spring Song" by Mr.
Perconi.
Vocal Solo-"A Perfect Day." by
Mrs. Cason.
Cornet Solo-"The Palms." by Mr.
Marks.
Vocal Solo-'I Hear You Calling
Me-" by Mr.. Caesaro.
Violin Solo-"Angels' Serenade,
by Kenneth Warren.
/ Vocal Solo, Goodbye" Mr.. Cae
saro.
After the musical program tn
happy throng was ushered into tn
building, the older people Iof tn
gathering occupying the praye
meeting room, the Barracks and Phil
atheas their own rooms, which wer
thrown together for this occasion
and the little folks into the old an
mex. They were then served wit
chicken salad, various kinds of sand
: witches, pickles and coffee. Deliciou
grapefruit punch was served to tn
guests at the door as they entere
the building at the beginning Of til
evening. Everybody went away hal
Ply and glad that they were bette
acquainted with each other.

Paris Sees in Wilson Victory
Rebuke to German Citizens

Paris, March Great pleasure at
what is generally called "a Wilson vic
tory over the German-Amercans" is
unanimously expressed by the French
press. The Senate's reply, according
to "Le Journal" shows that the Amer
lean people are behind their President.
"The mechanism Of the American
Constitution has worked TO perfec-
ton says the newspaper THAT OF
the initiative, which belongs TO the
President. and that of control over
this initiative, which belongs 10 the
Senate, have worked in harmony. Tho
House Of Representatives can now
only pass a vote of sentiment"
According 20 lie Petit Parisien." the
vote will make a profound impression
on the European neutrals. 'as IL IL the

President Wilson, according to lie

and is certain TO act.
The opinion is expressed By eau

is hardly likely to settle differences
with Germany automatically, "as 1t is
clear that American opinion will not
stand for American citizens being sent
