DR., SYLVESTER ARRANGING
TO GROW GRAPES ON
CONSIDERABLE SCALE

Messrs. e. L. and F. ]. thinner
man of Tarpon Springs, are in Lake.
land today, arranging for the setting
out of several acres of grapes for DR..
s. A. Sylvester, at his place near the
Hollingsworth school house. The
Messrs. Zimmerman are experts In
grape culture, and have developed
several varieties of bunch grapes of
the finest quality that have been
grown so successfully that 1t may be
said the effort is no longer expert
mental. A number of growers have
set out such varieties as the Carmen,
black grape; the Florida Malaga, a
white grape, and the Tokay, red; and
fruit of surprisingly fine quality has
been obtained. At Oldsmar one party
has 40 acres in these grapes, and the
Messrs. Zimmerman expect to con-
centrate their operations at that
point, supplying cuttings to growers.
They will examine DR.. Sylvester's
Silvester's soil and furnish him with
the variety of grapes it is best adapt
cd TO-. They express the belief that
the grapes they are propagatin,s
would do splendidly in the vicinity
of Lakeland, and if DIR. Sylvester is
successful undoubtedly many more
will engage in growing this luscious
fruit.

CAPT ALLIE ANGLE klIi'
VISITOR TO LAKELAND

Friends OF Capt. Allie Angle were
delighted to see him here today, fit
and fine, after a long period of service
both in this country and abroad. He
is now stationed at Camp Gordon, and
it may be some months before he re-
ceives his discharge, his department
of the service still being quite active.
His family is at Decatur, Ca, few
miles from the camp, the children at
tending school there.
Capt. Angle was across for several
months, and distinguished himself by
most efficient service, so much so
that he was twice recommended for
promotion to the rank of major, and
only missed this promotion through
the fact that he changed from one
detachment to another, where It ap-
peared he had opportunity for more
active and efficient service. Copies o!
letters from his commanding officer
and the war department set out this
reason for his on-promotion very
clearly, and bear emphatic witness to
the eminently satisfactory character
of his service.
Lakeland claims Capt. Angle as on'
of her citizens, and hopes that whe'
Uncle Sam finally lets him 60 no viii
come here and locate among the bes
people on earth.

Death of Mrs. Martha Fry.

Just as the evening shades were
falling and the soft, mellow rays OF
June moon were kissing the earth
the sweet, gentle spirit of Mrs. Mar
tina Fry passed into the great beyond
to the celestial city. She will claim
the just reward of duties we'll done
life we'll spent.
In the evening of her life she fell
asleep in the home of her son, w. d.
Fry, in Union City, Tenn. She was
born November ~, 1882, in Benton
County, KY. Her childhood and
young ladyhood was spent amid the
beautiful scenery on the banks OF
the loveliest of all streams, the Ten
nessee River. In that delightful spot
where nature has been SO lavish and
unstinted in bestowing her choicest
handiwork, she grew up. When she
gave her hand in marriage to ]. d.
Fry she gave into his keeping life
pure and unspotted from the world.
Until she fell asleep she retained all
the noble characteristics which con-
stitute life worthy CT revelation.
She lived in this city for number
of years and none knew her but to
love her." She was consistent. mem

For Sheriff.
Building Up Your Town.

A very suggestive article appears
in last weeks Saturday Evening
Post by j. R. Sprague on an issue
that is common to all towns, more or
less, which get ambitious to do
things. Mr.. Sprague relates the
story of the Chamber of Commerce
of a certain city, which, however,
is in nowise different from all other
like small-town organizations. A
captain of industry was invited to
come and deliver an address calcu-
lated to open the pathway to food
of industrial progress. The affair
was to mark an epoch in the history
of the town. The captain and his
party perhaps would be induced to
plant big business there.
The local orators were present.
The POSTMASTER forgot that he wasn't
the speaker of the evening and pro-
ceeded with an hours effort which
has been heard in all commercial
clubs, especially soon after the or
ganization or about the time of the
first banquet. Next was the local
orator who was modest enough to
admit that he was no speaker and
then began in "high" to prove that
he was. He said we must have fac
tories and must raise a big fund to
get them. He spoke another hour.
The introduction took forty minutes,
and when the capitalist visitor was
called to his feet it was midnight. 1t
was late and he was tired bored. His
train was due to leave in an hour,
and he would not be able to make
the speech he had prepared, but he
would say few words which might
do more good.
So the speaker went on to state
that the town was all right. 1t is in
the center of a good agricultural
section and bound to grow. But
going out to corral factories with a
big fund is very doubtful propo-
sition. You can start a thousand
factories, but unless the conditions
are right everyone of them will fail.
Suppose you start q harvesting
machinery factory plant, which
would seem to be logical enterprise
for the particular locality. The
factory is built to supply work for
two hundred hands. A rush comes
and one hundred more hands are
needed. There is no other concern
within thousand miles using the
same kind of labor SO you have to
send all that distance and pay the
travelling expenses of tho extra men.
Or you have a slack season when only
one hundred and fifty men are need
ed. What are. you to do with the
fifty that are to be laid off? They
can't afford to stick around until
work is ready, and so they drift back
to the Middle West where they can
get work, and you have to pay that
thousand miles of travelling expense
every time you need a workman. At
