WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN
SECURED BY SUPT. ADAMS
FOR lAkELAND'S SIXTH
annual CHAUTAUQUA

William Jennings Bryan. re-
nowned peace advocate and the most
talked of man in the United States
today. aside from the president, will
be in Lakeland during the week of
February 18th, and deliver lecture
before Lakeland's Sixth Annual
Chautarqua.
Since last July, Supt. C. Rucker
Adams has been in touch with Mr..
Bryan in order to secure him for
lecture during the week of February
1920, and his efforts were rewarded
this morning when he received
wire from Mr.. Bryan stating that
he found it possible to fill a lecture
date in this city. This is an added
attraction to an already strong pro-
gram, and Supt. Adams is to be con-
graduated on bringing Mr.. Bryan
to this city, as his views on the war
situation and other matters of ma
ton wide interest will be heard with
great interest by tremendous audi
ence. The exact date of Mr.. Bry-
ans lecture will be announced later,
but ii will be during the week of
February 18th.

SANFORD SHORT
TO Be RESTORED
ON JAN. 18th
For 3 MONTHS

the Atlantic Coast Line local pas
senger trains, Numbers q and IS,
discontinued more than a year ago
between Lakeland and Sanford, will
be restored on the. 18th instant, for
a period of three months Atlantic
Coast Line officials have for some
time been considering the question
of operating these trains during the
tourist season; this question has
been submitted to the railroad COM
missioners, and they have given
their approval to the restoration of
these two trains, between the points
mentioned, for a period of three
months during the tourist season, af-
ter which time the present schedule
of 81 and % will be resumed be-
tween Lakeland and Tampa.
The travel in Florida is still con-
sidereu lighter than it was before
the European war, but it is felt that
in order to furnish convenient sched-
ules so that the tourist can visit the
different points of interest in the
territory that these two trains
serve. it will be to the advantage of
not only the tourists, but the pa
irons OF the railroad to operate. these
trains during this period.
These trains will operate on prac-
tically the same schedule as was in
effect when they were taken off, viz.
trains p, to leave Sanford at $40
a. M, and arrive at Lakeland at
11:15 "a M; train IS, returning,
leave Lakeland 5:45 p. M; arrive
Sanford $50 D. M, making all To-
cal stops.

STREET PAVING

With a more extensive MILEAGE of
paved streets than any city of twice
its size in the State, bids for paving
several more streets in st. Peters
burg are being asked by the city au-
thorities, and it is expected the
work will be commenced in few
days. Realizing the value to the in
dividual property owner and the
community at large. the citizens of
St. Petersburg are all getting into
the paving business, and the tax
payers at large have no higher taxes
to ray because the property, owners
are raying for the whole of the paw
tensiye mileage and continual de-
mard for more paved streets. No
limit to it because the city is not
asked to bond for the payment of
one-third the cost. The ten-year
certificate plan, with a very low rate
of interest, makes it so easy for the
property owners to pay for the paw
ing on their frontages that it is un-
necessary to ask the city to pay for
one-third, and unwise to insist upon
1t because 1t would ut once put a
limit on the amount of paving done.
II property owners in Lakeland
should insist on the city paying for
one-third the cost of any paving now
contemplated, it is not likely that
any paving will be done for some
time because there is a general opin-
ion that bond issue would not car
ry. On the other hand, if the prop
erty owners will pay the entire cost
of the paving on their own 'front.'
