the Tourist room, last night enjoyed
a splendid program given by the

occasion of their regular meeting.
President w. v. Cook presided, and
a business session was held first, dur
ing which time various matters were
discussed, one Of the prime features
being the holding Of a picnic next
Thursday to which all tourists in
Lakeland will be invited. 1t was de-
cided to hold the picnic and the loca-
ton of same will be announced later.
A very pleasing program was given,
the principal feature of which was a
very interesting address on the bean.
