DUVAL COUNTY ARHORY
fine MONUMENT TO
ARCHITECTURAL SKILL
OF v. B. TALLEY
Jacksonville Times-Union. }

Foundations Of the "made-at-
home" theory as applied to the new
armory we're laid when the plans
and specifications of this structure
were left to the skill and science OF
w. B. Talley, the well known local
architect, who with his associate, II.
F. Saxlebye, prepared all working
designs and written instructions
used by the contractors in carrying
on their part of the work.
AS long as the armory stands, and
its durability will extend into flu
ture years when present generations
have passed onward, the name of w.
B. Talley will always be associated
with the big building, for this is one
of the rewards of an architects skill,
and belongs to him as clearly as fame
and honor belong to sculptors and
painters. Mr.. Talley's achievements
in this building are prominently seen
the moment one approaches the great
building, and the imposing front
tells on the exterior that one may ex-
pect the same conformity to military
ideas for the interior
The general design of the front of
the armory is not new, as this style
is followed to some extent in nearly
every building that is used for hous-
ing of military companies The
battlemented front suggests the ci-
tadel of olden days and as far as is
possible with such a structure gives
an ormentation that is at once APP
propriate and suggestive of the char
acter of the building
This idea was followed on the in
terror wherever there was an oppor-
tunity for conveying the military
suggestion, and Mr.. Talley used each
available point for carrying out this
sentiment in design and ornament,
although the very nature of the
structure forbade elaborate or lavish
attention to such lines. The finishe
structure has called forth much ia.
vorable comment from all who have
seen it and Mr. Talley has been con.
graduated by hundreds on his sue
cess in handling the details so sue.
cessfully and artistically.
This is only one of the local ex.
amples of his skill for in various
parts of the city are handsome struc
lures which were first created in Mr.
Talley's studios and later came t.
real and material existence under tn,
supervision of experienced builders
The armory stands as a monumen
to his accomplishments, and can b,
mentioned by him with pride, TO
such buildings are not erected fire
quently and must by reason of tina
fact ever be counted as master crea
lions of the architects who design
them.

Mrs. J. W. Turner received a

A DAY AT CONEY
ISLAND TO BE
GREAT SHOW; fine
REHEARSAL HELD
LAST NIGHT

A large crowd was present at the
first rehearsal of the big musical
show, "A Day on Coney Island" and
great enthusiasm was displayed by
both cast and chorus. A strenuous
tryout was given and every indica-
tion is that the outcome will be very
successful. The show is full of
mirth and catchy music, with never
a dull moment. Miss Carolyn Elinor
Staley is busy meeting committees
from the Woman's Club every day
and rehearsals are to be held both
afternoon and evening from now on .
This show should be given the
patronage of the entire community
as people will not only help the hos
pital fund but will also get the worth
of their money.
The cast for this comical play
numbers $50 and includes children,
girls and ladies, boys and young
men, who practiced with much en-
thusiasm last evening. Miss Staley
Is director whose energy and ex-
ecutive ability is wonderful, and her
coaching last night transformed a
mass of eager amateurs into a fairly
graceful chorus. With practice the
chorus is going to be one of the
features of the comedy and already
they show promise of pedal ability
that will open the eyes of the most
blase.
The character parts are screams,
and will be played by those most
adapted to the part. Already the
members of the cast are catching an
idea Of the general scheme and
things are shaping up under the ex-
pert coaching of Miss Staley better
than had been hoped for.
This Is one of the largest comedies
ever presented to Lakeland theater-
goers, and 1t promises to be an over
whelming success.

STAGES TO CARRY
TWO DAILY MAILS

Bids have been called for by the
postoffice department for the trans
fer of the mails between Lynden
and Bellingham twice q day. This
means that the automobile will sue
ceed the railroad as q mail carrier.
and that two deliveries by stage
will be in force.
Bids must be in by Nov. 81. and
the new service is scheduled to be-
gin Dec. 1.
The trial Of the auto as q carrier
which has been under way during
the last few months, has proved
most satisfactory. A regular sched-
tile can be maintained at all times
Of the year.. and the necessity Of
messenger service at each end to
transport the mail to and from the
trains. Ia eliminated.
The morning train that leaves
Lynden at 9:24 arrives in Belling-
ham at 1885 a. IN. under the new
schedule that went into effect this
week. This gives Lynden far bet
ter service on the morning mail,
which now reaches Bellingham In
time for the noon trains South.
the mails were held at
Sumas until the afternoon, and
reached Bellingham but an hour or
30 before the afternoon mail which
goes out of Lynden by stage at
D. M.
The Lynden postoffice is open ON
Sundays now from 10 to II q. m.
in accordance with the earlier
schedule.
