Thousands Thr0ng Streets Ot
Lakeland Celebrating Peace

will be only the beginning OF per
petual round of honors in memory OF
the boys who can never come back
and for the families who game them

practicable to celebrate the return OF
peace, and as a memorial OF those OF
our boys who have been killed In bat
tie, or died Of disease, either over
there. or in the service over mere.
May I suggest as part Of the program
that a banner bearing names OF all
who have died, both white and COL

the head of the procession. Next II

Of honor the families Cloth white and

ride a banner with name, or names
Of their boys who have died in the
war. Then as a fitting close, let all
gather either in the Park, or some
place capable Of holding large au
dience, and engage in a real thanks

we have done, but to express our
gratitude in the most humble manner

Victory Parade
Tonight And
Bio Celebration
In The Park

Notwithstanding the impromptu eel
ebrations that ragged as we might
say, all the forenoon, it is thought
that Lakeland ought to express her
ioy in more concerted and elaborate
way, and tonight the real big doings"
will occur. The principal feature OF
the occasion will be a mammoth pa
rade in which every man, woman and
child in the community will be ex-
pected to join, and in which every
one will walk. The parade will form
in front of the Hut Immediately after
the close of an entertainment to be
given by the Victory Boys and the
Victory Girls, their program starting
at 700 o'clock sharp.
There will be a band concert in thu
Park beginning at about four aclock
musicians from Plant City coming VI
to Join with our band. There will b.
, fine music for the parade tonight, ant
no one should fail, under any c'rcum
stances, to express their gratitud
and appreciation of the great blessin
that has come to us, but every on
should get in line in this great pa
rade, and enjoy the other feature
that the committee will prepare fo
this celebration.

Next my earnest prayer is for those

Of loved ones by this cruel war. May
a kind Heavenly Father console them
and comfort them with the thought
that they have helped by gifts of loved
ones to make the world better, to
bring the peoples Of earth closer to

Of the Kaiser, after which taps were
sounded; three volleys were then fired
for the last retreat and three for

After this the crowds resolved
themselves into impromptu celebra-

notified as soon as authentic news OF

AT first people rubbed their eyes in
amazement and doubt, thinking per

but as the continuous roar OF the
whistle brought realization to them
that an event of worldwide import
had come to pass, they began to TURF
