wiz Wed in Alaska

A pretty romance IN winch many
Rock Island friends are interested,
the result of which is to be a we'd
ding of early in March at Cordova.
Alaska, has just become known
through the announcement that
Miss Kathryn Wilmes, daughter Of
NJ. G. Wilmes, of East Davenport,
and a very popular girl, leaves next
week for Cordova, Alaska, where
her marriage to Dave Davenport,
in charge of the government radio
station at Mile IA will take place.
Miss Wilmes is the second Dav-
export girl to go to Alaska to wed,
Miss Mayme Smith of the River
road, above Davenport, now Mrs.
Earl Cornwall, of Cordova. Alaska,
having set the example of favoring
Alaska bridegrooms a year ago,
when Miss Wilmes was her COM
panion for the over country journey
for her wedding in Alaska, and the
little romance which is about to
eliminate so happily with the we'd
ding in Cordova in March began at
that time.
Miss Wines will go to Seattle,
where she will be with friends for
a couple of days before sailing for
Juneau, Alaska, a voyage of some
five or SIX days from Vancouver.
Mr.. and Mrs. Earl Cornwall will
meet her at Cordova, where the
wedding is to take place on her ar
rival.
Miss Wines has always made
her home in Davenport or vicinity.
She attended the Davenport high
school and Browns Business COL
lege and has been with the Daven-
port Manufacturing company for
the past several years, having been
recently promoted there to the po-
sition of office manager.
A number of prenuptials and
farewells are being given for MISS
Wilmes. Last night the Phi Delta
girls were entertained in her honor
at the home of Miss Leonora Stem
sen, of 1899 Summit avenue, and
there were games and music and
the bride-to-be was presented with
a pretty club gift.

shall answer that friend through the
columns of this paper. Without the

men who are aspiring to this Office,
Or disparagement of their ambitions.

endorsement to Mr.. Hardee.
There is no cleaner man than he
anywhere to be found. His character
is beyond reproach and his loyalty ia
the true principles of democracy is
unquestionable A native son of the
state, reared to farm work, he never
theless acquired a good education and
has risen to the top of his profession
He is a man of remarkable poise of

He belongs to no faction and, If he
becomes governor, as we believe he
will, he will administer equal and ex-
act justice to all .-Gainesville Sun

THE PLEASANT WAY

A pleasant way is the Christmas way,
With youngsters dancing upon it,
And the lit and lift Of music gay.
And the joy of the world to sun it.
A pleasant way, as it keeps it's faith
In the old dreams and the fine,
With childhood brimmed and the rosy
wrath
OF the love that grows divine.
A pleasant way, where the plodding
throngs
Go by with hop and skip,
And always breathing the song of
songs
And whistling with puckered lip,
fairy way for the hosts of strife
To find when the time draws near,
So beautiful with the dreams Of life
And sweet with the Christmas
cheer.
'FaoT
A pleasant way, where the people
pass
With light hearts and bright eyes,
The old and the young, the lad and
the lass.
And above them the bright blue
skies.
A way that is rich it'll the hopes of
things,
And stored with the dreams of men,
And a voice of life's beautiful love
that sings
OF a King that shall come again.

WELCOME, BRETHREN!

Lakeland is happy to welcome with
in her gates the splendid gathering of
men composing the Florida Methodist
Conference, and the lay delegates to
the convention. Any city may we'll
feel hOnored to entertain these good
and learned men, the leaders in one
OF the greatest OF the Christian de.
nominations. The citizens Of Lake
land are not unappreciative of this
honor; they want each and every
guest to feel thrice welcome, and to
know that in the hospitality so cor
daily rendered them the barriers of
denomination are down, and so far as
tie quality of that hospitality Is con-
cerned, we are all Methodists for the
time.
1t has been ten years since the
Florida Conference met in Lakeland.
Many of US remember that occasion
most pleasantly, and are anticipating
seeing again number of the men
who helped to make that gathering
notable. Those who have not visited
Lakeland since that time will note
that we have not stood still. They
will see evidences of progress on ev-
cry side and in that progress Meth
cdism in this community has had full
share and part. The church has
grown and flourished, and it's mem
bers have lent stimulus to Lakeland's
civic life.
There is only one practice of the
Methodist church to which we object
and that is its custom of moving its
ministers from one charge to another,
with four years as the limit Of resi-
dence in any community. More than
once we have undergone the exper-
fence here that just as we had come
to regard a pastor as an indispensa-
BILE part Of the community, and as a
friend whom we could not spare. the
inexorable conference whisks him
away to another field. We have come
to such a time again. We have had a
pastor for the'past four years who
has measured UP to every requirement,
as minister and a man. We regre,
that he must go from us, but trus,
that his lines may fall in pleasant
places, and that he may find else,
where as true friends as he leaves II
