To the Citizens of Lakeland:
In view of the fact that | am beine

become candidate to succeed myself
as Mayor of Lakeland, | feel 1t my
duty at this time to make public an

10 this decision are sufficient in my
own mind to overcome the apparently
earnest solicitations of my friends to
stand for reelection. My duties as
chairman of the Board of County
Commissioners exact from me as
much time as I can afford to devote
to public office, and since member
ship upon that Board gives me the
opportunity to continue to be of serv-
ice TO Lakeland and its surrounding
community, as well as to the county
at large, feel II my duty to myself
to relinquish the additional Burdens
of Mayor at the end of my present
term.
| have every reason to feel Erout
of the progress and development o
our city since my connection with th'
municipal government, and feel tina
| | have done my full share in aidini
that progress and development, an
as a private citizen and member o
the Board OF County Commissioners
shall continue to stand for the ad
vancement and development of on
!, city and county In every respect
| further take this opportunity o

DRIVE COMMITTEES TONIGHT

Tonight in the First Methodist
church there will be a meeting of the
Centenary teams that have been work
ing in the drive, to make further re-
ports and plan for the work during
the remaining days of the campaign.
Every member of every team is ex-
pected to be present
There are some features Of the
campaign that have not yet been full
iy developed and these will be pre-
scented at this meeting. The superin-
tendents of the various departments
of the Sunday school and all VI the
teachers are urged to be present.
The Barlow district is leading the
Florida Conference in the Centenary
Drive. Her Quota was $91 ASSOC. The
amounttpledged is $100,SO3.25. Lake
land is leading every church in the
district. First church was given the
quota of $1,000 and she has pledged
Sl5664.50. When the reports are all
in tonight her quota will probably be
ever subscribed 100 per cent.
Yesterday reports from Nashville
Tenn. showed that the whole church
had secured pledges amounting tc
$40. 700,O00.0O. These reports were
very incomplete. Four conference,

doubt about the quota Of IS millions
being oversubscribed.

enthusiasm and all who are inter
csted in the forward movement of thu
church are invited to be present.

peculiar experience yesterday afternoon
after they discovered they were ON
the wrong road near East Brookfield,
The first car, a large REQ, occupied by
one man, had ascended to the summit
of thes hill when he made the discovery
and in an endeavor to turn the car
about caused it to slide into ditch
at the side of the road His two com
panions riding in an Overland tivepa
senger car, seeing his plight, abandoned
their car on the hill with the brakes
securely fast so that they might as
sist him in the work of getting back
to the road. While at their task their
own cars brakes became released and
the ear started down the hill back
wards. and then crashed down over
a so foot embankment, badly damaging
the car. The three, A. 0. Lamont,
Pierre Depeltejn and Adlmard Ber
trand, arrived here last night in the
REQ car to make arrangements for
bringing the other car here The wreck
ing car OF Arnholm & Dunbar left this
