Following the midweek prayer SER

night many members and friends of
Rev. Lowe and family in appreciation
OF their return to Lakeland for this
year gathered in the parsonage where
each one coming carried to the dining
table a package for the pleasure of the
amily. When the gathering was com

that a miniature grocery was to be
established, and so beautifully deco.

baskets. which were piled high with
good things, that many declared it
would be pleasure to live in this
household with it's bounteous pro-
vision.
Like the Darkey wedding, of which
the bride told in glowing terms of
the decorations, the audience, the at.
tendants and the minister, and on
being asked" What of the groom
you have not told of him." replied
We'll, sir, he never showed up" So
with Rev. Lowe, having missed con.
nection from the East Coast road
telegram was received, in the midst
of the evening that he would arrive
this morning. However, Mrs. Lowe
and children were beautifully re-en.

father and mother, Rev. and Mrs
Craig of Cookville, Tennessee, whom
it was delight to meet and know
Rev. Lowe arrived this morning and
attested his appreciation of the vel

the Methodist church opens very
auspiciously and promises splendid
things. Lakeland Methodists are in

WASHINGTON, June 9.-After adopting anew reduced federal license tax on automobiles. abandoning taxa tion on confectionery and approving a tax on cabaret patrons. the senate fin ance committee interrupted its revis- ion of the war tax bill today until Monday with wide disagreements re- maining among the members on in- come, publishers and excess profits rates. The bill probably will not be completed until late next week.
 The new automobile schedule i'm poses on owners of pleasure motors a minimum tax of $5 with graduation upward based virtually at one per cent upon the original selling price. A re- duction allowance is made upon used cars ranging up to fifty per cent.
 Committee dicerences on the in come. excess profits and publishers tax sections are said to be extreme. Senator Gore announced today he will present a minority report and other
