Dr. A. M. Jackson will leave on
Friday morning for Miami, where he
has arranged to engage in the prac.
tice of his profession. DR.. Jackson
mas maintained his dental offices here
Tor number of years, and has built
up an excellent practice, but he is
lured by the larger opportunities
which seem to him to exist in the
Magic City, and is taking advantage
OF fine opening presenting itself
there. Oddly enough, his office part
ner has identically the same name
and initials-A. M. Jackson-a rather
remarkable coincidence. Dr. Jack.
sons family will not accompany him
to Miami but will join him there
later. This paper can most heartily
commend Dr. Jackson to the good
people of Miami as a gentleman of the
highest standing and character, pro-
fessionally and otherwise. Lakeland
people regret to give him up, but hope
for him the fullest measure of sue
cess in his new field.

A number of the stores have had
attractive window displays appropri-
ate to the Thanksgiving season. The
groceries have all shown an abund-
ance of good things, which almost
temp us to forget the constant conser-
vation injunctions; and the hardware
stores have stressed the hunting fea-
ture of the season by displaying very
attractive exhibits of hunting equip
ment, etc. Both the Wilson Hard
ware Co. and The Model show fine
lines of these goods; but an excep-
tionally tasteful and appropriate dis
play is that made by the Warner
Hardware Co., one Of whose windows
show a table laden with Thanksgiv-
ing abundance-fruits, nuts, ETC.. and
decorated with leaves, ETC.. of au-
tumnal colorings. The other window
suggests how the meats may be se-
cured to complete the tables bounty,
being a fine and artistically arranged
display of sporting goods. These
windows represent the artistic taste
and skill of Miss Theresa Warner, Of
the Warner Store.

very we'll, lighted the box it was rest
ing on instead of the stove. The
flames were Immediately communi.
Gated to the wall paper, curtains, base
boards, etc, and the house was soon
a mass of smoke. An unfortunate cir

Gated upstairs and he found his room
