MEETING AT FIRST METHO.
DIST CHURCH LAST NIGHT

Last night in the Mems Bible class
room of the First Methodist church
there was a meeting of representative
men from the Various Methodist
churches in the Barlow district az
far south as Fort Meade.
The ladies of the First Church
served sumptuous chicken dinner to
all the men present. Sixty-five men
were seated at the tables and enjoyed
to the fullest extent the bountiful
supply Of good things furnished BY
the members and friends of this
church.
Mr.. T.. L.'Hendrix acted as master
Of ceremonies in a most pleasant
manner and made all feel comfort
able and at ease. Each man was
asked to stand and give his name and
the place where he was from.
The speakers from a distance were
nr. J. j. stowe from Nashville,
Tenn and DR.. Frank Eakes, OF AT,
kanta, Ga. f'''2 ~ '1'''
The speakers set forth the meaning
Of the Centenary movement and the
aims to be accomplished and the
means to be employed.
The hearers were enthused with the
large conceptions outline In this
great program. Every man present
seemed assured that his church and
the Barlow district would measure
up to what would be expected of
them in the various features of the
program. saeta @&'l l2.it i5&
II is something new for a. large
group Of business men to give earn
est attention to a missionary address
and then rally to the suggested plans
as was seen last night. It means
new day for the church and for the
world.
Rev. G. Blackburn, the Presiding
Elder of the Barlow district, made
the closing speech and Rev, L. d.
Lowe, the pastor of the First church,
pronounced the benediction.

Mr.. H, J. Drane presented Lieut..

most interestingly, but very modestly,
Of some of his experiences in the

was noted that he had failed to tell
how he came to receive the Cross Of
War. In response to numerous calls
he told of the circumstances leading
up to his decoration with this much
coveted insignia, his entire narrative
being intensely interesting, the only
criticism that could be made of it
being that his modesty kept N the
background his personal participa-
ton in these stirring incidents.

all the valuables above mentioned,
which have been returned to their
owners.
The stealing which has been going
on for some time, came to a climax
Friday night when over $500 worth Of
goods were taken from Melton &
outs. Last night the attention of the
colored man employed by this firm
was attracted to Jackson, who was
endeavoring to dispose of some silk
shirts. The employee at once recog.

ing from the store, and this morning
jackson was arrested, with the re-
suit that a regular department store
was unearthed. The repeating shot
gun stolen from Warmers three weeks
ago was found, also some leggins,
and various articles taken from the
Heron jewelry store were found in
Guiding lockets, fountain pens, fobs. a

longing to Phillip Fischer were also
found and returned to him, Mr.. Fisch.

never missed the articles. The negro

Fine Address By
Hon. Isaac KinSey
At Chamber
OF Commerce
Luncheon Today

The duty Of every business man in
the community to support and CO.
operate with the Chamber of Com
merce was the keynote Of the address
Of Hon. Isaac Kinsey. at the lunch
con Of the Membership Council of the
Lakeland Chamber of Commerce, at
the Staten Hotel today.
Mr.. Kinsey, who is vice president
OF. the great Willys-Overland Com
pany and director of the Chamber
Of Commerce Of Toledo, makes his
winter home in Polk county. and his
propensities for boosting find an out
let in promoting the commercial and
industrial activities of the beautiful
little city Of Winter Haven, where
during the months Of his residence in
this state he serves as president of
the Winter Haven Board of Trade.
His address today, made to q splen-
did audience of the city's leading
business men, was a plain. practical
talk, dealing with the advantages &C
cruing to every community from the
possession of q Chamber Of Com
merce. and the duty every citizen
owes to such an organization. Mr..
Kinsey stated that he regretted his
speech should have been made to
those who did not need it. as he
would prefer to have addressed those
who were non-members. He paid his
respects to the knocker in no uncer-
tain terms, severely condemning those
who sought to discredit or hamper
the work of the organization. His
address made an excellent impress
sion, and undoubtedly will have the
effect of strengthening his auditors In
their conviction that the Lakeland
Chamber of Commerce is an institu-
ton that deserves their loyal and cor
dial support.
At the close Of Mr.. Kinsey's ad-
dress the result Of the annual cleo
ton was announced and it was found
that the following gentlemen were
