MR.. J. w. WARD

The death of Mr.. j. w Ward yes
terday at the Matanzas Hotel is a
death deeply deplored by the many
friends, not only here but through
out the State and in South Carolina
where the deceased was widely
known.
Mr. Ward came to Lakeland last
September from Floral City, and for
years had been engaged in the tur-
pentine and naval stores business
lie was a 32nd degree Mason, a mem
Der of the Methodist church, and a
man highly respected by all who
knew him. He is mourned by a de-
voted wife, two daughters and son.
The latter is on the Mexican border,
and pending his arrival here tomor-
row night, the body is being held.
After funeral services, the body will
be shipped to Floral City for inter
ment. In their great loss the fami-
l. have the deepest sympathy of a
wide circle of sorrowing friends.

CHAUTAUQUA CAME
70 CLOSE LAST NIGHT

Despite a heavy rain which fell
just before the opening of the Chau-
tauqua last night, there was an in
terested audience present at the clos
ing session of the Assembly.
The prelude concert by Helen Axe
Brown and Mrs. Orchard was fol-
lowed by lecture by Hon. Milton A.
Brown on "The Superflous Man" He
dwelt on the fact that women should
quit marrying men to reform them
men never marry women to reform
them, and therefore the hopeless task
should not be undertaken. His adj
dress was given the most interested
attention of all.
The Chautauqua was great sue
cess and the greater part of the tai
ent presented was the best of the
kind ever brought to the State.
Supt. and Mrs Adams are closing
successful Chautauquas this week at
Bradentown. Mount Dora and st.
Cloud, the Chautauquas under their
management at st. Petersburg, Wau-
chula and Arcadia, having closed,
